Mirage Road

Mirage Road is a zone in the game Sonic Rush. It's a hot, desert labyrinth with an Egyptian theme that extends even below the surface and is the first of three levels to consist of rooms that trap in the player. The player must then destroy a set amount of Eggman's robots in order to escape. It's Sonic's and Blaze's third zone. The level greatly resembles Sandopolis Zone from S&amp;K. In the second act, there will be platforms that will fall into rivers of flowing sand after going over a track similar to a mine cart's, and Sonic or Blaze will have to dodge a various amount of falling boulders and robots. The song for Mirage Road is "Ethno Circus".

The boss fight is fought in a circle and resembles the inside of a pyramid tomb. The boss itself is a robot that looks like a giant, metallic scarab. It attacks the player with spiked balls and will occasionally fly up to throw them. It can be damaged by hitting the balls it rolls around when they aren't spiked up into its back, the boss' weakspot. Try not to get distracted by the piles after piles of shining gold and treasure in the middle. The yellow Chaos Emerald and Sol Emerald are found here.
