Lake Rocky

Tails Adventure << Previous area — Lake Rocky — Next area >>

Lake Rocky should really be known by its Japanese name, Rocky's Sea, as it it not a lake at all. But this incongruity aside, the stage is the fourth level in Tails Adventure for the Sega Game Gear, coming after Polly Mountain and before Cavern Island. Though thanks to the non-linear nature of Tails Adventure, the young fox must return to the region on various occasions as new items (like the Anti-Air Missile and Mine) open up new routes.

Overview
Having acquired the Vulcan Cannon component from the Kukku army on Polly Mountain, Tails is finally able to bring the Sea Fox submarine up to combat readiness. Now the outlying islets off the coast of Cocoa Island proper can be explored. Launching of from the pier outside Tails' House, the intrepid fox takes to the waves; although predictably the Kukkus got there first.

"Lake" Rocky is a coastal shorline riddled with submarine caverns - and no shortage of mines, dropped all over the place by the avian invaders. In his first visit to the level, Tails simply sails right through to Cavern Island, but there are numerous different nautical routes leading to different areas offshore areas. The seawater turns eutropified viridian around the entrance to Lake Crystal, and the downwards path leading to the Battle Fortress is crammed full of guns and mine chutes.



After Tails has been to Cavern Island and picked up the Anti-Air Missile, Lake Rocky's boss becomes accessible. Further out in the open ocean, Tails takes on a Kukku anti-submarine cruiser. The bird-brained sailors lob depth charge after depth charge into the waters, as the Sea Fox responds with a barrage of missiles into the ship's underside.

There are no items available in Lake Rocky.
