Pyramid Cave

Pyramid Cave is the eleventh stage in the Hero story in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, where the player controls Sonic.

Stage layout
Pyramid Cave is an Egyptian indoors ruin themed level, with large murals and hieroglyphs and since it is a base belonging to Eggman, statues with their heads replaced by one with his face.

The major gimmicks of this level are hourglass doors derived from Sonic & Knuckles ' s Sandopolis Zone. There are also hoops that, if jumped across, will award Sonic skill points and the only level featuring object-to-place mechanics.

Other level-specific objects include bars that can be swung, torches and bonfires, chimneys with Eggman's face, boat pendulums and windmills. Boos also are around here, along with E-1000s.

Upgrade
Sonic's Bounce Bracelet is located in this stage, allowing him to gain altitude by bouncing after pressing the jump button when mid-air.

Trivia
