Lost Jungle (ロストジャングル Rosuto Janguru?), also known as Lost Jungle Zone, is the tenth stage in Sonic Heroes.
Description[]
A watery swamp inside a vast jungle, the stage contains black frogs that destroys nearby plant life in contrast to the green frogs seen in Frog Forest. A giant alligator lives in the lowest point of the swamp.
Story[]
Descending from Frog Forest's canopy, Team Sonic ventures through the depths of the jungle to stop the Egg Fleet and save the world. Team Dark explores the depths of the jungle to pursue Dr. Eggman and make him answer for the Shadow Android. In the final steps of the level, Team Sonic and Team Dark must escape a giant alligator that chomps its way to the team. The player must swing on the ivy swings and jump to another until they land on a ledge. Team Rose must escape the jungle to stop the Egg Fleet and impress Sonic, while Team Chaotix is tasked with rescuing ten Chao. At the end of the jungle, Team Sonic and Team Dark clash over which team will fight Eggman first, while a misunderstanding over Cheese pits Team Rose against Team Chaotix.

No. | Description | Image |
---|---|---|
Chao #1 | The player must destroy the Egg Hammer that they encounter for the first time in the stage to release both the spring and the first Chao. | |
Chao #2 | After getting the first Chao, the player must run up around the path past the black frog. The second Chao can be found just after the Fly Formation Signal. | |
Chao #3 | At the ivy swing, the player should turn around and fly up to a Chao on the platform above and to the left of the previous one the second Chao was in. | |
Chao #4 | After proceeding to the path the ivy is leading to, there is a fruit that the player must bounce off on to reach the ledge with three Wooden Containers. They must break the Wooden Containers to get the Chao. | |
Chao #5 | After the first Check Point, the player should swing on the ivy and defeat the Egg Hammer. A Chao is to the right after the small tunnel on a platform. | |
Chao #6 | To the left from the fifth Chao, the sixth Chao is released from a Case as a result of defeating the Egg Hammer. | |
Chao #7 | Later on in the stage after the sixth Chao, after running through the loops and bouncing off a Spring, the player should check the small mushroom on the left for another Chao. | |
Chao #8 | In the next area after the seventh Chao, the player should check the platform on the right, just past the second black frog | |
Chao #9 | After the player lands from the flower ride and before they reach the green frog, they should back up to the open part of the walls. From the right side, they must fly straight up to reach this cleverly hidden Chao on a sprouting platform. | |
Chao #10 | The player should let the green frog from the previous section see them. When the vines and platforms grow out, the player must fly up to get the Chao flying on the growing platform. | |
Chao #11 | After going up from the previous section to another circular path, the player must destroy the Solid Flapper near the locked Case to release the Chao inside. | |
Chao #12 | Along the circular path is a lunar surface the player can fly up on top of. Here, two Solid Flappers must be destroyed to release the caged Chao. | |
Chao #13 | After the twelfth Chao, the player will encounter two Egg Hammers inside a tree. They must take them out to release the Chao in the Case there. | |
Chao #14 | After warping through the Warp Flower inside the tree, the player must grab the Pulley to the left to go down, then jump to the platform. From that platform, they should fly over to a more elevated platform to get the Chao. | |
Chao #15 | From the fourteenth Chao, the player must fly down to the bottom of the path where they will see an Egg Hammer. They must destroy it to release the Chao in the nearby Case. | |
Chao #16 | From the previous Chao, the player should not go through the laser field. Instead, they must continue on the path to the Special Key. The next Chao can be found behind the Special Key near a mushroom. | |
Chao #17 | From the previous Chao, the player must return to the laser field and pass through it by turning invisible. They should then use the Warp Flower inside to reach a ledge on top and destroy the two Solid Flappers to release the green frog. After the frog sees the characters and it begins to rain, the player must go to the right and bounce up from the fruit to get the next Chao. | |
Chao #18 | On the left side of the same section with the seventeenth Chao, after the frog sees the characters, the player must jump up from the newly grown platform to get another Chao. | |
Chao #19 | The player must bounce off the spring that the green frog was on to the platform above. They should swing from the ivy and destroy the Solid Flapper, then collect the Chao from the Case. | |
Chao #20 | The final Chao is hovering above the path in a circular direction on the same platform as the last Chao. |
Super Hard Mode[]
Team Sonic starts at the very beginning. Two Bomb Flappers can be destroyed from either on the ground or on the purple and red platforms. This time, a Heavy-Egg Hammer must be destroyed to unlock a case with a Spring that launches the team to a large green platform. The player must touch the orange folding spring {there's no article on this gimmick} to go up and take out a Solid Laser Flapper. They should grind the vine and get a Barrier Item Box before destroying another Heavy-Egg Hammer to unlock the case with a 1-Up. There's a plant with steps that the Black Frog will summon rain to destroy it if any teammates are spotted. If it rains, the player must go up a step and defeat a Needle Flapper with timing. A caged 10-Ring Item Box can be obtained if the player has no rings. Up to a step with some rings and to a path with three Solid Laser Flappers blocking the way. After taking them out, the player touches the first Checkpoint and must jump on part of a vine, past the laser fence and take out a Klagen and either Light Speed Dash the Ring Trail or eliminate the two Laser Flappers. After traversing the loop and launched from a Spring, the player must avoid the Iron Ball on the vine and either grind it {after an advantageous flight} to the next area or defeat two Egg Hammers and advance there with the Black Frog awaiting. As it rains, the player must carefully navigate through the path while avoiding the bouncing fruits and Thunder Shoot two Cannon Flappers after. Before the stair of two green platforms, a Egg Hammer is blocking the way and the player should either use Team Blast if available or really carefully destroy it as Knuckles. The player should be Sonic to Light Speed Dash the Ring Trail {approach it carefully} and to another pathway with a Bomb Flapper. At that path's end is a Green Frog that will open a flat yellow platform via rain for the player to stand on and take out three Flappers consisting of a Cannon one in the middle of two red ones using Thunder Shoot. The player should fly up to a smaller path, up to a green platform, up to another small path and a path with two Cannon Flappers and a Klagen before bouncing from Spring to Spring to the second Checkpoint. Instead of Ivy Swings, the player must be careful using Homing Attack on five moving red Flappers that affects the aiming of it. If the player has lost a life or Rings, a 5-Ring Item Balloon can be obtained. Two Klagens and a Egg Hammer are guarding the case with the Green Frog inside. After the player beats them and lets the frog see the team, a vine will grow through the platform with the Egg Hammer leading to the Black Frog section after running through the loops {if rain isn't summoned, the player has to go to that area and defeat the robot and also get an Item Balloon with 10 Rings inside}. The player bounces off a Spring on a purple platform to the top of another platform and Thunder Shoot four Cannon Flappers while the Black Frogs' summoned rain causes fruits to bounce. Afterwards, they must use Sonic's Blue Tornado on the Flower Propeller to get to the walled-up area. The Egg Hammer must be destroyed carefully to disarm the laser fence and take out two Solid Cannon Flappers and a Solid Needle to unlock the case with a orange folding mushroom spring inside {20-Ring Item Box behind it}. The player gets to the third Checkpoint and can optionally take out four Solid Bomb Flappers guarding a case with a Team Blast Item Box that will come in handy for defeating the Heavy-Egg Hammer and two Klagens in the tree or just go through the path to the tree with Sonic Overdrive ready. The case with a orange plant spring inside is opened and the player goes through a path with a loop to a Wide Spring {awards 10 Rings} launching the team up an area with a Klagen and either go through Rainbow Rings or on a Dash Ramp to the next section. Two high-flying Laser Flappers are to be Thunder Shooted with Tails and three Bomb Flappers after. The player should defeat two Klagens and approach the Green Frog that will grow vertical vines and fruit to a higher purple platform with a caged extra life Item Box. The Egg Hammer below is guarding a case with a Team Blast Gauge Up Item Box that will come in handy. The player should go up to the fourth Checkpoint, activate the Flower Propeller and carefully move it down or up while avoiding Iron Balls to get to the next section. Team Blast should be prepared to take out the Egg Hammer, other destroying it without Team Blast is difficult due to the amount of space attacking it. Six Unbreakable Containers are blocking the shortcut and the left path has nothing so the player must go to the right and take out a Bomb Flapper guarding a cased orange plant spring that leads the team up a Fly Formation zone. Thunder Shoot should be done on a couple of Cannon Flappers while flying to a green platform, then to a path with one Solid Cannon Flapper and three Solid Lasers floating must be destroyed to release a Green Frog. After that frog sees the team, the player must be launched from the opening mushroom spring up to two vines leading to another area with a Heavy-Egg Hammer {Team Blast recommended}. The cased Spring unlocks after, launching the player up to a green platform and an Ivy Swing leading to the next area. The Black Frog should be approached first before the Green one whereas the former's rain will ruin a green plant with orange-yellow steps while the latter's rain will reform that plant for the player to go up on. On the path up, the player should Thunder Shoot a Gold Klagen, a Bomb Flapper, and two Needles along the way before the last Checkpoint. The Green Frog's rain will grow a vine to grind on and the player grinds a corkscrew vine while Thunder Shooting regular Flappers along the way with a Needle Flapper at the end and the team gets on the Dash Ramp to the last section. The player must escape the shrinking yellow platforms either in Power or Speed Formation and escape the giant alligator chase that leads to the finish. Like Team Dark, three Black Frogs cause a mushroom to shrink and the Goal Ring is on the ground.

Trivia[]
- At some low altitude Check Points, especially those surrounded by water towards the beginning of the stage, an alligator can be seen in the distance. Only its head is above water, however.
- If Tails is left idle, he will say "I hate that black frog."
- The Black Frogs here do not appear in the previous stage, Frog Forest, despite it being named after frogs.
- It is possible for Team Chaotix to get to the very beginning where Teams Sonic and Dark start at as well as the rest of the stage where the aforementioned teams finish. To get to the very beginning, the player must spam Thunder Shoot on the invisible barrier on the green path behind that team's entrance until reaching the top. It has Team Sonic's layout in it. To get through the rest of the stage, the player must do the aforementioned technique, but more differently {doing this on those curvy fat vines will cause complications} by trying to get more higher to the top pathway. There's no enemies, Frog and gimmicks in that path as well as the last one after grinding the vine. The player must carefully use the Infinite Flight Glitch through where the vine would normally grow leading to the vine corkscrew. More Infinite Flight Glitching must be done to get to the alligator chase section {camera angle will change} carefully. The player should be Espio or Vector to escape the alligator without comments there. The ending is the same as Team Sonic's, but with a Back Ring.
