Green Hill Zone

From Sonic - Wiki on Neoseeker

Green Hill Zone is the first Zone in Sonic The Hedgehog on the SEGA Megadrive. Its iconic status means it has been redesigned and refitted for certain games. Green Hill Zone is one of the many areas on the planet Mobius.

[edit] Sonic 1

In Sonic 1, it is the first Zone playable. It's a lush, grassy landscape, with waterfalls and bright blue skies. The iconic music was composed by Japanese pop group DREAMS COME TRUE.

[edit] Maximum Rings Available

• Act 1: 155 rings + (70 10 ring monitors)
• Act 2: 123 rings + (40 10 ring monitors
• Act 3: 123 rings + (110 10 ring monitors)

[edit] Boss Fight

This Dr. Robotnik boss remains one of the most famous boss fights in video game history. It is one of the easiest bosses in the game; Dr. Robotnik will swing his checkered wrecking ball back and forth, trying to hurt you with it. When he swings the ball toward you, the safest place to be is under the platform behind Robotnik. The best way to attack Robotnik is from behind; if you do get stuck with Robotnik coming towards you, jump between the ball and the Egg Mobile, through the chain holding the ball. This boss takes eight hits to kill.

Mecha Sonic uses this same machine in Sky Sanctuary Zone in Sonic and Knuckles, as long as you're using Sonic or Tails

[edit] Sonic 2 Beta

Green Hill Zone "appears" in both betas.

In the Nick Arcade beta, the level is present; however its collision data is corrupted. The Simon Wai beta also shows a Green Hill Zone - which is actually Emerald Hill Zone.

[edit] Sonic Adventure 2

The level appears in Sonic Adventure 2 as a bonus for completing the game with all 180 emblems.

[edit] Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Not only does Sonic appear on the Wii game Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Green Hill Zone also appears as a stage. Starposts appear which can be used as a weapon, and the middle section of the stage will eventually cave in, in a manner similar to the breakable walls in the original zone. The music used on GHZ will also play on this stage, alongside other classic Sonic songs from the series. Some Sonic characters, such as Tails and Knuckles, can be seen running through the loop in the background.

To unlock the stage, unlock Sonic. This can be achieved in two ways; completing the Subspace Emissary or by completing Classic mode 10 times.

[edit] In Other Media

The theme music to Green Hill Zone has become somewhat of a cult classic amongst Sonic fans on the internet. Many people create remixes to The Green Hill Zone's theme music, among which Green Hill Zone is played on Guitar Hero 3 and broadcast by many fans. Others include Green Hill Zone's theme music played on Mario Paint.
