Green Hill Zone also includes tall palm trees, bright moving flowers, hard pointed bushes and different types of totem poles with several facial expressions. There are also bright blue uncanny blocks set along the paths.

There are also several log bridges, which can have waterfalls below them, stretching over gaps on the paths.
