Classic Sonic enters the Casino Forest, ancient ruins currently being converted to a casino by Eggman. But it's not all fun and games as perilous traps line the ancient facades.
Similar to other areas within the Mystic Jungle, Casino Forest is set in a brown mountainous region at night during a full moon. It should be noted that the mountains in this stage are rather blocky, much like in Green Hill. In the background, one can see lush tropical trees with round tree crowns that grow everywhere, alongside grass and fern-like bushes. Vines also hang from the trees, and a river floats through the region. Also found in Casino Forest are ancient ruins with yellow-glowing runes/murals. The background features numerous ancient temples, road gates, bridges across the aforementioned river, and pillars, whereas the foreground where the main gameplay takes place is set entirely inside the rocky ruins. Once a great city, these ruins are now both overgrown with plants and lit up by torches.
As a result of Dr. Eggman's actions, the majority of the ruins have been converted into casinos. Numerous neon signs in different shapes and colors have been added to the ruins, and the ancient temples in the background have been turned into dazzling neon palaces. Ancient pillars have similarly been turned into palm-shaped street lights.
Story
Casino Forest was an originally an ancient ruin. After Dr. Eggman settle in Mystic Ruins though, he began construction on the area to turn it into a casino.[1]
Several months later, Tails and Classic Sonic came in Casino Forest to find Sonic the Hedgehog and tell him about Eggman's plan for wiping out the Resistance. While Classic Sonic searched Casino Forest for Sonic, Tails provided him with leads on where to look over the radio. By the time they reached the center of Casino Forest however, the duo had found nobody, although Tails remained confident that Sonic was somewhere nearby.
Gameplay
The majority of Casino Forest revolves around pinball mechanics, with several sections of the stage having been designed like pinball tables. For launching the playable characters upward in such sections are different sets of green flippers that either float in midair or are attached to the walls. There is as well a purple variety of flippers that sit vertically on the ground; these flippers move automatically when touched. There are also Pinball Shooters for granting a boost of speed in a certain direction, Slot Machines for earning Rings, and red-yellow rings arranged in cylinders that grant several thousand points when passing through them.
Casino Forest is also filled with all kinds of bumper gimmicks. There are yellow and purple Bumpers, Triangle Bumpers in blue, red and yellow, Hexagonal Bumpers, bumper walls, and Drop Targets. Whenever the player hits one of these gimmicks, they are awarded with 500 points.
Aside from pinball-themed gameplay elements, there are also moving ruin blocks that form staircases for the player to climb, spiked balls that move around, and high-speed warp tubes.
Being a Classic Sonic stage, Casino Forest is played entirely from a 2.5D perspective, and include Item Boxes for Classic Sonic to utilize. In addition, there are invisible Springs that only show themselves when the player steps on them.
