Aquatic Ruin Zone

Located on West Side Island

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit) - Aquatic Ruin Zone
"'Flash through a high-tech maze built with pipes and ducts. Robotnik's flooded the factory with a pool of toxic liquid called 'Mega Mack' that poisons Sonic in a few moments!' — Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit) instruction manual" A crumbling, semi-submerged stonework ruin, this Zone sports a couple of main terrain features that make it unique compared to the others. Water, for one; the movement speed underwater is much slower, so be prepared. There are also alternate paths on the surface to avoid the water altogether.

The ancient stone pillars that lie dotted around Aquatic Ruin will rise up when you approach them and you must jump on them to destroy them. Aside from the underwater sections, the other main obstacles are pillars with a skull embedded on them. Their eyes will flash red when the player approaches them and after passing them, they will fire an arrow that flies horizontally and are usually dangerous in large numbers.
