Ragna Rock is the sixth level in Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice (and the last in story mode). It is a mythical island on earth where a rare minral called Ragnium can be found.[1] After discovering Ragnium, Dr. Eggman established a mining operation on the island to harness the mineral for one of his plans. This mine was destroyed during a climatic battle between D-Fekt and Team Sonic.
Overview
Ragna Rock's World Map.
Ragna Rock is an island of contrasting climates. Overall, it is a barren rock with no organic life and active volcanos with lava veins everywhere. However, the sea and miniature volcanoes at the coast are frozen. The island also hosts mining equipment, carts and mines loaded with Ragnium.
Story
When Ragna Rock was discovered by Dr. Eggman, the doctor began mining it for its resources of the supercharged Ragnium element to power his robots while piping off the messy by-products from the operations to the adjacent islands, creating fissures that damaged the environment with Fire and Ice pollution.[1]
Eventually, Team Sonic found their way to Ragna Rock to stop the fissures at their source. With the heroes having sealed up so many fissures, however, Ragna Rock was on the brink of exploding from the pressure. Discovering Team Sonic, Eggman ordered his robots to destroy them. Wishing only to please his master, Eggman's rejected mining bot D-Fekt complied and used his magnetic powers to build himself up. However, in his eagerness, D-Fekt began tearing Eggman's Ragnium mine apart and crushing Eggman himself against a cave wall, prompting Eggman to plea for Team Sonic's help.
Taking D-Fekt on, Sonic and Sticks defeated the robot, although Eggman's Ragnium mine was destroyed beyond salvation. Feeling obligated to show appreciated toward Team Sonic for saving his life, Eggman reluctantly gave the beaten D-Fekt, whom Eggman apologize to for all his mistreatment, to the heroes as thanks (which Sticks greatly appreciated). Tails then made D-Fekt completely harmless. With all said and done, Eggman left to review his insurance while Team Sonic headed home.
Gameplay
Unlike most of the levels in Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, Ragna Rock possesses no adventure levels or unique gimmicks. Instead, the level is dedicated solely to the game's classic bonus levels, each with different gameplay mechanics, and the final boss.
