Desert Ruins

Desert Ruins is the third level in Sonic Lost World. The first act of Desert Ruins is full of all sorts of sweets, but its second act drops the theme entirely and features an entirely different gameplay style, opting for the classic "tunnel racing" concept.

Act One
Act One of Desert Ruins has a candy theme to the level, as it is similar to Sweet Mountain from Sonic Colors. Sonic can run on multiple platforms of a variety of foods, such as licorice, and pieces from both cake and cookies. The background also has several foods "floating" foods, as well, such as cupcakes and ice cream. Sonic can also use a Homing Attack to jump higher via hitting truffle balls from side cannons.

Act Two
Act Two of Desert Ruins drops the candy theme entirly and features, as what the zone's name replies, ruins in the desert. In the Wii U version, Act Two's layout closely resembles that of the Knuckles Chaotix Special Stages.
