Set way above the clouds, this zone is a hot bed of tectonic activity. Huge blocks of rock suddenly move around, earthquakes are common and lava flows in some places.

Outside you have the fast tunnels of Green Hill Zone. Given enough speed from one of these you can run up a flip at the end taking you high into the air where many secret items are hiding. For hiking up the hillsides there are seesaws. An active mine is at one end which you trade places with each jump and which a from will make you loose you rings should you be hit.

Some of Hill Top takes place inside the hills themselves. You smash though several layers of rock when you go around a loop. Inside here are all the lava flows and earthquakes at your peril.

Robotnik's pod has been shielded from the lava allowing him to freely travel through it. He has you on three islands; two really small ones and a slightly larger one in the centre.

Damaging Robotnik is easy. Just hit him when he appears but while he submerges below he'll either get you with the flame thrower or set fire the island you're on.
