Oil Desert Zone is the third Zone of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II. It is an oil refinery within a shifting desert that, appearance-wise, is a hybrid of Oil Ocean Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sandopolis Zone from Sonic & Knuckles. Because of this, it takes some visual cues from both Zones, such as oil slides and rising sand sections. This Zone also seems to be inspired by oil and drink factories in the Mojave Desert.
