History
The Mystic Temple seems to be a place to worship, so that the Echidna can meditating in peace. As in Tails's story, Tikal gets peace when walking near of, and remembering what her grandmother told her about the Chaos Emeralds. The Echidnas are also seem to walk near the temple continuesly, so making the entrance to the temple locked from intruders. However, after Chaos ramapage, The Mystic Temple is now very poor looking, with some cracked walls, and it's pillar is also broken.

While not included in the Echidnas times, the Temple has got some new items to make it harder to enter, only by special users, like Tikal can enter it without bringing some special items. Now it can only be accessed by having the Gold and Silver statues in the temple, so the person can enter, a forbidden world, named Lost World. Inside the temple, it has a huge world missed from the outside one, with some ancient mirrors and murals of Perfect Chaos.
