Metal Blade Zone is a scrapped zone that was set to appear in Sonic X-treme. It is the third zone of the game.
Description[]
Metal Blade Zone is shown to be a dark sky stage, much like Death Egg Zone. It is confirmed to be a metropolis.
Overview[]
Metal Blade Zone was going to have three acts: Nightmare Bridge, Sewer Shock and Necropolis. Metal Sonic would have been encountered at this stage as a boss.
Boss[]
The boss of Metal Blade Zone is Metal Sonic. In the boss fight, the player could use a "Lock On" mode when the camera is locked onto the boss, which would help to dodge attacks. Metal Sonic would usually slowly follow Sonic and when he's locked onto him, he'll charge at him or shoot missiles.
Trivia[]
- Metal Blade Zone is the only zone of Sonic X-treme that doesn't have official screenshots. The only time it was shown in a video is in the Canadian TV series "The Anti-Gravity Room".
- Metal Sonic's model and some Project Condor models were discovered in a Sega Saturn software development kit.
- The ground texture from the Metal Sonic boss battle was found while disabling some layers in the 718 prototype.
- Chris Senn made some variants of Metal Sonic in his concept artwork images, but they were all scrapped in favor of the actual Metal Sonic.
