Hidden Palace Zone
The Hidden Palace Zone refers to two levels in Sonic games, one being an unfinished level in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the other being a level in Sonic & Knuckles.
The unfinished Hidden Palace Zone in Sonic 2 is a cavern filled with jewels. It has been compared to Sonic the Hedgehog 3's Ice Cap Zone due to sprite similarites. Hidden Palace Zone in Sonic & Knuckles is a transitional level between Lava Reef Zone and Sky Sanctuary Zone. It is the only Sega Mega Drive/Genesis Sonic level devoted to a part of the plot. Sonic defeats Knuckles there, and Dr. Robotnik steals the Master Emerald from the Emerald shrine. This causes Knuckles to realize Robotnik is evil. The mosaic in the background of the fight with Knuckles predicts the apocalyptic fight in the Doomsday Zone.
