Dust Hill Zone was the name given to a desert Zone intended to be featured in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive.
Description
Dust Hill Zone is a desert, decorated with cacti and assorted plants. The tiles were designed to at some point be used in a winter-themed stage, transforming the sand into snow and the cacti into Christmas trees. The player would navigate terrain both aboveground and belowground, where there were snow/sand tunnels.[1]
Development
Dust Hill was created by Brenda Ross,[1] one of the final level artists added to the Sonic 2 development team. It was referred to in an early concept sketch as Sabaku Zone (literally "Desert Zone"). Time constraints kept the Zone from being added to the final product.
Trivia
- Through hacking, it is possible to access the slot designated for Dust Hill Zone, but much like Genocide City Zone, the 2nd Act of Wood Zone, and Death Egg Zone, all the levels, Sonic is falling to his death, and plays Oil Ocean Zone's music as the music for this stage.
- Brenda Ross called this level's palette swap "Winter Zone".[1]
- Design elements of this Zone were later used for Desert Dazzle, a scrapped stage from the 2011 remaster of Sonic the Hedgehog CD. Elements of Desert Dazzle (and by extension, Dust Hill Zone) were eventually used for the Sonic Mania Zone, Mirage Saloon Zone.
