Iron Ruin's main setting is a desolate and decrepit industrial wasteland.

In some of the places in these fields there are also large black pits dotting the surface. The sky itself is a constant dark orange and in the background, the horizon is covered in hills of broken and decayed futuristic industrial buildings, such as factories and dark, shadowed assembly plants.

If that happens, the player falls off the road and has to wait for a giant metal crane to drop him/her back onto the racetrack, which can cost the player a lot of time.

''[[Sonic Drift 2]]'' makes no unambiguous statements of where in Sonic's world the races are located, but several of the other courses in the Purple Grand Prix (e.g. [[Emerald Hill]], [[Hill Top]]) are set in zones that [[Sonic]] and [[Tails]] visited during ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit)]]'' - and ''those'' were on [[Westside Island]]. It is therefore possible that Iron Ruin lies there too. On the other hand, some have pointed out that Iron Ruin's skyline looks remarkably like that of [[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|''Sonic 1'']]'s [[Scrap Brain Zone]]; to the extent, in fact, that Iron Ruin may ''be'' Scrap Brain Zone, seen months after [[Eggman|the Doctor]]'s defeat on [[South Island]]. There is, alas, no clear-cut answer; and all this evidence is just circumstantial - Iron Ruin could quite easily be situated somewhere else entirely.When the player reaches the third pass, a robotic vulture will fly back and forth and tries to capture the unlucky racer trying to outrun it. If he/she is caught, other racers will have an advantage to pass up unless the player had Invincibility and the vulture will be gone.

<< Previous course Sonic Drift 2
Iron Ruins

Iron Ruin is a course that appears in Sonic Drift 2. It is a racing track located in a rusty industrial wasteland. It is the sixth and final course in the Purple Chaos GP.

Description

Iron Ruin's main setting is a desolate and decrepit industrial wasteland. The entire region is covered in fields of metal, which have long since degraded and been covered in rust, that extinguishes any signs of life. In some of the places in these fields there are also large black pits dotting the surface. The sky itself is a constant dark orange and in the background, the horizon is covered in hills of broken and decayed futuristic industrial buildings, such as factories and dark, shadowed assembly plants.

The racing track through Casino Night is mainly colored in alternating black horizontal stripes in different shades with similarly colored white and gray edges. Also, on the outside of the track, there are occasionally metal pillars.

This wasteland base bears resemblance to Scrap Brain Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog. If proved to be so, then this is the fate of the zone after Eggman's defeat in the game.

Gameplay

In Iron Ruin, the player's objective is to get the top position in the race. Racing outside the border of the asphalt racetrack will cause the player to lose speed immediately. Additionally, there are sections of the track where there are empty spaces on either side of the road, which the player can fall into if moving outside the road. If that happens, the player falls off the road and has to wait for a giant metal crane to drop him/her back onto the racetrack, which can cost the player a lot of time.

Another hazard to the player in Iron Ruin is the Mecha Vulture. When the player reaches the third pass of Iron Ruin, the Mecha Vulture will appear and start flying back and forth, trying to land on one of the racers' hoods and make them slow down.

Overview

In Dark Valley, the player races on a linear racing track encompassing the entire map. Additionally, the racing track is littered with different power-ups and objects that the player can utilize. Here, the player's objective is to reach the end of the racetrack. The fastest racer to complete this race is rewarded with a Chaos Emerald.
