To prove my point, here's how I think this will run down: Like Hidden Palace, Wood Zone would only be a single level. Because of this, if I suggested to have a major update for the mobile port, I'd just add a tunnel near the end of Aquatic Ruin Act 2 and make a little falling transition scene to Wood Zone, similar to the transition from Mystic Cave to Hidden Palace via the infamous spike pit on the lower route. well I don't know, 'Machete Eggman', 'Egg Axe', or something fitting for a jungle setting? Take your pick.Īccording to Sonic 2's development, Wood Zone was supposed to be the 'Present' version of Casino Night since Sonic 2 was supposed to implement time travelling. Since there's no boss here, I'd consider putting down. The lower route is supposed to be longer than the middle and upper routes due to it going under the initial spawn area. I've made an upper route above the first tree tunnel, and a bottom route below the first bridge opening about a couple seconds into the level within an area past where the unfinished level ended. New gimmicks I had implemented include the little wooden boards that act as springs, inspired by the one concept art showing off Sonic 2's 'Secret Jungle', and the little bark fragments above the vertical tree trunks with holes in them to resemble large vertical tunnels to fit with the horizontal and L-shaped tunnels. This meant that I had to painstakingly make new parts whilst keeping true to the original tileset at the same time. The layout mostly resembles the very unfinished Simon Wai version, but let's just say that I've made the map a lot bigger.

Credits/Kudos to for the Wood Zone tileset - What if Wood Zone made it into the public release of Sonic 2? What would it have looked like? Here is what I had come up with to answer the question.
