After reaching the end of his route, the echidna will find an unguarded Capsule, immediately ending the Act, then he will use a teleporter to proceed to IceCap Zone. It is interesting to note that Knuckles does not fight a boss at the end of Act 2. When playing as Knuckles, there is no water for the echidna to worry about, allowing him to take a shorter route through Act 2, though it's possible for him to take Sonic/Tails' route if he jumps just before running down the pole at the beginning of the Act. At the end of the Zone, Sonic and Tails are launched out of a cannon to IceCap Zone.

After a long series of high-speed tunnels, Knuckles will appear again to activate a long elevator shaft that sends the heroes to the Graviton Mobile. Later on, the player will find a button that turns the lights back on for the remainder of the Act. Besides the raised water level, the lights being switched off has no other effect on gameplay. Partway through Act 2, Sonic and Tails will encounter Knuckles, who will attempt to impede the heroes' progress by switching off the power all over the Zone, casting it in darkness, as well as flooding the next section with water which drains as the player makes their way down the section. This Zone is also one of the longest in the game for Sonic and Tails, but for Knuckles it's one of the shortest due to his short routes, with each Act taking about 1 minute and 30 seconds for the echidna to complete.Īct 2 features areas submerged in pink water, with the player's only air source besides the Water Shield being air bubbles found by popping balloons underwater. Of course, the more stranger contraptions include anti-gravity pads, magnetic propulsion tubes and elevator shafts, platforms that sink when stood on and rise when jumped off of, long striped poles to run down on, spinning cylinders to grab on to, black wheels to get dizzy on, and the unforgettable rotating barrels note that not all barrels move very far.

Classic carnival-themed gimmicks include the cannon, which will launch the player in the direction of their choice, and balloons that can be used to give the player an extra bounce. Carnival Night Zone lives up to its name-it's a theme park! This colourful Zone follows many of the common tropes of carnival/casino-themed levels such as bumpers, except that there are many more hidden areas than in other Zones and a few more toys.
