Portal 4-H or just 4-H, is a Cyber Spacestage in Sonic Frontiers. It is the eighth Cyber Space stage in Ouranos Island during Another Story, and the thirty-eighth overall. It is a remix of 4-4, and like 4-4, it is one of the longest stages in the game.
4-H shares the basic Cyber Space theme along other stages, while presenting floating city locations strongly resembling Skyscraper Scamper from Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version of Sonic Unleashed and Speed Highway from console/PC version of Sonic Generations. As such, there are many streets and buildings present in the distance. The streets are layered with various signs as well as traffic signals, while the background consist of fast moving roads complementing the sky blue background with rapid, laser-like sparks also bypassing the screen to represent the digitized atmosphere of the stage.
Portal location[]
The entrance Portal to the Cyber Space stage is located in the western-most corner of Ouranos Island, situated in the middle of a group of houses along the cliff's edge. It requires one Portal Gear for this Portal to connect to Cyber Space.
Gameplay[]
4-H is a long, relatively linear stage filled with grind rails, laser fields, balloons, and boxes, both ones that must be broken to proceed, and ones that must be used for tight platforming. 4-H is the second and last stage to feature the mine radar gimmick, where a large exclamation point will appear over Sonic's head when he gets close to a mine, with blue meaning he's still far away from it, yellow meaning he's approaching it, and red meaning he's near it and in danger of stepping on it. If he does, he'll be damaged and lose rings while flying up in the air and fail one of the missions. There are no Star Posts present in this stage.
The rings are spread throughout the stage, along specific paths.
- At the start of the stage, heading to the right path will lead to a ramp with ring number 5 in the middle.
- Ring number 4 is right after the pulley that is reached by climbing the blocks in the section where the first animal is.
- After the section with the Silver Moon Rings, the player will start to run on a road with rows of breaking wooden crates. There will be a group of rails under it, and they can be reached either by remaining on top of the road and hitting a mine in the middle to get launched on a raised platform, which leads to the start of the rails, or by dropping down the hole left by the first row of crates and taking a lower path with a platform that is close enough to the rails to be able to jump on them. Regardless, ring number 3 is on the rail in the middle of this group.
- After ring number 3, there will be a group of several parallel rails, with laser beams crossing over them at various points. By heading to the one in the center, the player will be able to jump into a Dash Ring to get over a gap in the rail and reach ring number 2.
- Ring number 1 is located just a bit after the third animal, suspended in midair after a ramp that ends with five Dash Rings.
Silver Moon Rings[]
Located right after the second animal. The player will have to homing attack a few Eggrobos and climb up blocks to reach the continuation of the road, but there will be more floating blocks above it, and the Silver Moon Rings are over these.
Animals[]
- The first animal is located in a section with several tilted blocks floating in the air, and the drop off zone is reached by climbing the steps using these blocks as platforms.
- Continuing down the path after getting ring number 4, the player will eventually reach a series of springs that lead into another section with floating blocks. The second animal is in front of the blue wall of platforms, and to reach the drop off zone the player has to jump on the three blocks that go around the aforementioned wall and from there into an opening in its right side.
- Continuing down the path after getting ring number 2, the player will eventually reach a section that requires climbing small floating clusters of blocks to reach a part of the road that resembles the one the first animal was on. The third animal is at the bottom of this road chunk, and the drop off zone is located at the top, requiring to climb over the large steps and two small block structures to reach it from either side.
