Zone (Archie)


 * For the version of this term before the Super Genesis Wave, see Zone (Pre-Super Genesis Wave).

Zone is a term that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is a term used on Sonic's World for other dimensions and universes besides the Prime Zone. Both local science and mysticism have been successful at enabling other-dimensional travel, so travel to zones and visitors from zones, while not common, are not considered unusual.

The term "Zone" can also refer to various areas on Sonic's World itself. The major exception is cities, which are thought of as independent areas and not part of a Zone.

Dimensions
Sonic the Hedgehog and some of his allies have had adventures in the Sol Zone, an alternate dimension home to Blaze the Cat, Marine the Raccoon, and various others.

Genesis Portals are gateways which exist between alternate realities, allowing visitors to travel through the dimensional barriers. They were revealed to be the results of the Multiverse collapsing in on itself and rebooting; tearing holes in the fabric of spacetime.

Regions
Mobius' surface-and that of Angel Island-is also into various Zones, though there are areas that are not designated as such. Examples of the former include Westside Island's Wood Zone; Pumpkin Hill Zone; and Angel Island's Launch Base Zone.
