This place is a level with a [[Haunted theme|Halloween-like theme]]. The timeframe of this stage occurs in twilight. There are many pumpkins and ghosts that appear with no warning to surprise the player. [[King Boom Boo]]'s [[Boo]]s make their first appearance in this level.
   
 
Pumpkin Hill has three major areas:
The plot for this level continues [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]]' search for the [[Emerald Shards#Master Emerald Shards|shards]] of the [[Master Emerald]].
 
   
 
*'''Pumpkin Mountain:''' An area dominated by various types of pumpkin and fire-breathing mechanized skulls. There is an [[Ancient Ruin]] at the summit that opens up a new area.
==Stage layout==
 
 
*'''Church Mountain:''' A mountain with a blue and lilac church at the summit. It has many tombstones in front of it, mimicking a cemetery. A dangerous [[Boo]] can be found here and it will follow the player in order to inflict damage.

===Find the lost Chao===
 
As usual, Knuckles will need the Mystic Melody in order to proceed with the mission. In fact, Knuckles will ''only'' need the Mystic Melody to find the lost Chao. Knuckles will need to take the rocket to Pumpkin Mountain and play the Mystic Melody at the Ancient Shrine there. Afterward, Knuckles can jump up to a portion of the mountain and get to the lost Chao.
   
 
===Collect the missing Emerald pieces in 3:00===
As always, Knuckles will need the Mystic Melody in order to proceed through the mission. In fact, Knuckles will ''only'' need the Mystic Melody for this simple lost Chao mission. Knuckles will need to take the rocket to Pumpkin Mountain and play the Mystic Melody at the Anicent Shrine there. Afterwards, Knuckles can jump up to a portion of the mountain and get to the lost Chao.
 
 
This mission is not particularly difficult as, despite its size, Pumpkin Hill is relatively easy to navigate through if one learns the layout. Knuckles may need to use a hint computer or two if he has trouble finding some Emerald pieces.
   
 
===Clear Hard mode===
===Collect the Emerald pieces in 3 minutes===
 
 
Hard mode requires two [[Level Up Item]]s: the [[Sunglasses]] and [[Shovel Claw]]. The stage has many more [[Boo]]s than normal, including the [[Boom Boo]]s which float around the rockets and tombstones. The [[Emerald Shard]]s in this mode are located in the following fixed places:
  +
*The player should first [[Glide]] to Ghost Train Mountain and reach the turntable. From there, they must climb straight down the side of the mountain in the direction the back end of the train is facing. When the player comes to the chimney pipe, they should turn the camera. From there, the first Emerald Shard can be seen floating above a mechanism swinging [[iron ball]]s. The player should glide over and grab it. 
  +
*The next Emerald Shard is located near the bottom of Pumpkin Mountain. On the side of the mountain that faces away from the center of the stage, there is a platform where the player can find two skulls breathing fire. The Emerald Shard can be found in the wall where the skulls' flames meet. The player must wait for the flames to stop, then dig.
  +
*To find the last Emerald Shard, the player should head to Church Mountain. They must climb up to the tip of the steeple and try to balance on top of it by just barely tapping the Control Stick. At the top, they should put the Sunglasses on, and a [[Spring]] will appear beneath Knuckles to launch him into the air. At the height of the Spring's launch, the player must glide straight forward to grab the Emerald Shard.
   
  +
==Chao Container locations==
This one isn't too difficult as, despite it's size, Pumpkin Hill is pretty easy to navigate through if one learns the layout. Knuckles may need to use a hint computer or two if he has trouble finding some Emerald pieces.
 
  +
*Halfway up Pumpkin Mountain, the first [[Chao Container]] can be found stacked together with a Wooden Container on a ledge that sits at the same height as the local ghost train.
  +
*On Ghost Train Mountain, the second Chao Container can be found on a platform behind the ghost pumpkin pillar. This platform is located at the end of the balloon trail, which can be seen from the top of the mountain.
  +
*The player must [[Glide]] from the top of the column where the second Chao Container is found and head toward the center of the stage which lies between all three mountains. Here, they should see a platform about halfway up, almost directly in the center, where the final Chao Container is.
   
===Complete Hard Mode===
 
Hard mode requires two Level Up Items: [[Sunglasses]] and Shovel Claws. The level has many more [[Boo]]s including the Boom Boos, larger versions of the regular type, floating around the rockets and tombstones. The shards are in fixed places, the first requiring skill and patience, the second digging and third the Sunglasses, patience, timing and more skill.

Pumpkin Hill is the sixth stage of the hero story in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and is playable as Knuckles the Echidna. The music for this stage is "A Ghost's Pumpkin Soup".

Description

This place is a level with a Halloween-like theme. The timeframe of this stage occurs in twilight. There are many pumpkins and ghosts that appear with no warning to surprise the player. King Boom Boo's Boos make their first appearance in this level.

Pumpkin Hill has three major areas:

  • Pumpkin Mountain: An area dominated by various types of pumpkin and fire-breathing mechanized skulls. There is an Ancient Ruin at the summit that opens up a new area.
  • Church Mountain: A mountain with a blue and lilac church at the summit. It has many tombstones in front of it, mimicking a cemetery. A dangerous Boo can be found here and it will follow the player in order to inflict damage. 
  • Ghost Train Mountain: A mountain with a turntable directing a Ghost Train. It leads to a Pumpkin Head Mountain with a trail of Ring Balloons. The area features many different trains on top of a hill with many rails and even a turntable. The hill also has a few doors and cages, one of which has Big the Cat in it for unknown reasons.

Story

Gameplay

The goal of this stage is to find three Emerald Shards. Standby rockets allow the player to travel through the level with ease, though gliding is a simplistic method of navigation as well. G.U.N. robots also appear to attack the player throughout the level, with the goal of ensuring that the player is not successful in their mission.

Overview

Level Up Item

Knuckles obtains a Level Up Item in this level known as the Shovel Claw. This Level Up Item allows him to dig and is necessary, for at least one Emerald Shard requires digging. Later levels also require this Level Up Item.

Missions

Find the three pieces of the Master Emerald

This mission is simple, as Knuckles has to find the Master Emerald pieces around Pumpkin Hill. Knuckles will need the Shovel Claw that is in plain sight, as a Master Emerald piece will, most likely, be hidden underground. Master Emerald pieces can also be found on the three main mountains or on some of the large, hoodoo-like pumpkin structures around the outside of the stage.

Collect 100 Rings

This mission is very simple now that Knuckles has the Shovel Claw. Knuckles can simply dig underground to find buried rings. Rings are also scattered around the three mountains, and the G.U.N. robots and Boos are limited here. Flying through the ring balloons will also help.

Find the lost Chao

As usual, Knuckles will need the Mystic Melody in order to proceed with the mission. In fact, Knuckles will only need the Mystic Melody to find the lost Chao. Knuckles will need to take the rocket to Pumpkin Mountain and play the Mystic Melody at the Ancient Shrine there. Afterward, Knuckles can jump up to a portion of the mountain and get to the lost Chao.

Collect the missing Emerald pieces in 3:00

This mission is not particularly difficult as, despite its size, Pumpkin Hill is relatively easy to navigate through if one learns the layout. Knuckles may need to use a hint computer or two if he has trouble finding some Emerald pieces.

Clear Hard mode

Hard mode requires two Level Up Items: the Sunglasses and Shovel Claw. The stage has many more Boos than normal, including the Boom Boos which float around the rockets and tombstones. The Emerald Shards in this mode are located in the following fixed places:

  • The player should first Glide to Ghost Train Mountain and reach the turntable. From there, they must climb straight down the side of the mountain in the direction the back end of the train is facing. When the player comes to the chimney pipe, they should turn the camera. From there, the first Emerald Shard can be seen floating above a mechanism swinging iron balls. The player should glide over and grab it. 
  • The next Emerald Shard is located near the bottom of Pumpkin Mountain. On the side of the mountain that faces away from the center of the stage, there is a platform where the player can find two skulls breathing fire. The Emerald Shard can be found in the wall where the skulls' flames meet. The player must wait for the flames to stop, then dig.
  • To find the last Emerald Shard, the player should head to Church Mountain. They must climb up to the tip of the steeple and try to balance on top of it by just barely tapping the Control Stick. At the top, they should put the Sunglasses on, and a Spring will appear beneath Knuckles to launch him into the air. At the height of the Spring's launch, the player must glide straight forward to grab the Emerald Shard.

Chao Container locations

  • Halfway up Pumpkin Mountain, the first Chao Container can be found stacked together with a Wooden Container on a ledge that sits at the same height as the local ghost train.
  • On Ghost Train Mountain, the second Chao Container can be found on a platform behind the ghost pumpkin pillar. This platform is located at the end of the balloon trail, which can be seen from the top of the mountain.
  • The player must Glide from the top of the column where the second Chao Container is found and head toward the center of the stage which lies between all three mountains. Here, they should see a platform about halfway up, almost directly in the center, where the final Chao Container is.
