| << Previous level | — | Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal Volcanic Crater |
— | Next level >> |
Volcanic Crater is the fifth area in Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal. It is an active volcano island containing a hangar of millennia-old vehicles from the Ancients. After following Metal Sonic here, Team Sonic sought to escape the volcano as it began to erupt.
Overview
Volcanic Crater's World Map.
Volcanic Crater is a dark grey high island consisting solely of an active volcano. The volcano's throat is filled with yellow lava that pours down the volcano's sides in rivers. No organic life exist here due to the hostile environment. Underground, the island is a labyrinth of volcanic caverns with magma rivers and a hidden hangar with Ancient vehicles.
The adventure level takes place in the red-hot-colored underground abyss. Along the paths are wooden bridges and crystal clusters. The initial caverns are dark, being only dimly lit up by rivers and pools of boiling magma with crusts. The paths here also consist of half-cooled magma. Deeper inside is the volcano's bright magma chamber. Here, the cavern structures are glowing orange and on the verge of melting, Ancient statues can be spotted, and pure yellow magma rivers and magma falls are everywhere. The paths here are more harden, albeit with a few magma veins, but are otherwise dimly lit due to the bright background.
Story
Having followed Metal Sonic to Volcanic Crater, Team Sonic eventually got lost in the underground caverns as the volcano was about to erupt. Fortunately, Tails had just finished decrypting one of Amy's files which revealed that there was an old hidden vehicle hangar from the Ancients in the volcano. Grabbing a plane there, Team Sonic used it to escape the volcano and reach Lyric the Last Ancient's flying stronghold where Amy was being held prisoner, despite Tails' issues with the plane's controls.
Gameplay
Volcanic Crater's adventure level is divided into two parts (the foreground and background) that run parallel to each other, which can be traveled between with the Slingshot. Standard gimmicks here include Bounce Pads, Boost Pads, Enerbeam Swings, grind rails and disappearing platforms. Hazardous obstacles in Volcanic Crater include lava pits and red panels with blowtorches. Touching such obstacles without protection will damage the player and return the characters to their previous position. Volcanic Crater also has collectibles scattered about which unlock extra content if collected and breakable obstacles that give extra Rings.
Like other levels in the game, Volcanic Crater has several character-specific gimmicks for the playable characters. These include dash blocks for Sonic, Air Vents and Sea Fox sections for Tails, Burrow spots for Knuckles, and nodes for unlocking blockades for Sticks which can only be reached with her boomerang.
