Description
Wii U Version
Zone 1
Zone 1 of Tropical Coast on the Wii U version takes place in an open-spaced environment, similar to the first stages of previous Zones such as Windy Hill. The location takes place by a beach shore area, with palm trees and Badniks taking usage of the land. Water overflows into fountains that Sonic the Hedgehog can use to jump on to reach a higher ledge. The Orange Wisp is found in this Zone and can be used to activate the Orange Rocket. The Yellow Wisp is present in this Zone, allowing Sonic to drill through to the other side of the tube and move freely underwater, collecting Rings before the gauge runs out and Sonic is sent back to the other side.
Zone 2
Zone 2 takes place in another tropical beach area, only this Zone is filled with giant fruits as the main gimmick and obstacle. These consist of a giant apple which will follow Sonic and will damage him on contact, a giant pineapple that will repel from Sonic should he get close to it and a giant watermelon that will follow Sonic and damage him on contact like the apple but at certain intervals, the watermelon will jump into the air, creating a shockwave upon landing. The player will need to lure these fruits into the spinning bladed blender which will create a path of fruit juice that will transport him/her to progress through the Zone. The player must be careful not to land in the spinning bladed blender or it is an instant death. The Orange Wisp is found in this Zone and lets Sonic transform into the Orange Rocket. Master Zik is battled at the end of the Zone, where he chases Sonic atop a giant fruit.
Zone 3
Zone 3 takes place in an entire underwater tube, where Sonic must grind on grind rails and avoid giant, mechanical eels that can defeat the hedgehog. Minecarts also are seen moving along on the grind rails, either ahead or behind Sonic as he grinds through the zone. Sonic must jump over them or he will take damage. This zone has two segments; a completely behind-the-back perspective while grinding and a 2.5D segment, featuring Nebula Badniks.
Zone 4
Zone 4 also features the Orange Wisp and the second boss fight against Master Zik.
Zone ?
In this Zone, the player starts by running on a grassy platform toward a Cannon. Once launched, a strong air stream lifts Sonic up in the sky which a lot of familiar and new Badniks come in the view. In this stage, the player can descend by holding the Homing Attack button and leave it to ascend. There is only one point marker in this zone, and the player will encounter a platform above him with a lot of buzzsaw-like flowers to avoid. The Zone ends once the player reaches the BFB which requires to descend beneath it, but above the Bottomless pit. Afterward, the player will reach the Capsule.
