This zone is the very unstable ancient ruins. On the surface everything is bobbing up and down a hot bed of lava whilst underground is populated with again lava flows and plenty of rudimentary mechanics. A good majority of the play in this zone will take place underground.

There will be pushing and smashing blocks aplenty whilst switches activate the movement of machinery and pillars. Sonic must push some blocks around for rides across expanses of lava which will be the main hazard throughout. It rushes and erupts with some of the larger eruptions necessary for progress. Large and small weights which slowly rise and then suddenly plunge with more spikes coming out of steps and the floor will be about.

Our man Robotnik hovers between both platforms and drops chunks of lava on them that spreads outwards. When moving between platforms beware of lava eruptions in the centre and that after landing a hit Sonic will plummet downwards so be sure to attack when he's above a platform.
