Information about the Zone
Game appearances : Sonic Adventure (1998).
Type : Action Stage, Treasure Hunt Stage.
Zone description : Located somewhere on Angel Island, Red Mountain is a huge volcano that extends to great heights and is surrounded by an entire mountain system. The heights of Red Mountain and the interior of the volcano are full of buildings and machinery, apparently built by Dr. Eggman’s robots, probably to extract the resources he needs. These buildings make it possible to move around the mountainous terrain, as the once unconnected mountain system is now filled with elevators, zip-lines, and bridges. However, it is still extremely easy to fall from the local heights, and there are plenty of hostile robots. In the interior of Red Mountain everything is flooded with lava, which constantly changes its level, flooding the already rare and difficult to pass natural or mechanical bridges.

Events
Sonic Adventure (1998)
The much-grown Sonic faces a new threat: the mighty Chaos monster. Dr. Robotnik frees this monster from Master Emerald by destroying it (which causes the fall of the Angel Island with the Ice Cap on it) with the hope that Chaos will help him build his empire. Chaos can absorb Chaos Emeralds and become stronger, so Sonic teamed up with Tails and after giving Robotnik the nickname Eggman, sets out in search of Emeralds. During the adventure, Sonic has to chase Dr. Eggman’s giant flying ship, the Egg Carrier, across the Red Mountain. It is also where Knuckles searches for the shards of the Master Emerald and E-102 Gamma finds and rescues E-104 Epsilon. In the process, the heroes are contacted by a mysterious red spirit, apparently trying to help in the fight against Chaos.
In the end, Chaos manages to absorb all the Chaos Emeralds and becomes Perfect Chaos, flooding all of Station Square. The red spirit that has been with the heroes all along materializes next to Sonic, turning out to be a girl who lived many years ago named Tikal. Tikal was a friend of Chaos, but she saw no other way but to re-seal Chaos into Master Emerald forever. Sonic flatly refuses this option and believes that this approach won’t solve the problem because Chaos’s hatred won’t go anywhere. By using the positive power of the Chaos Emeralds Sonic becomes Super Sonic and defeats Perfect Chaos in battle. The weakened Chaos speaks to Tikal, and she manages to extinguish the pain and rage of the distraught monster. After thanking the heroes, Tikal and Chaos return to Master Emerald and Sonic doesn’t stop on his adventure. Angel Island, on it’s part, returns to the sky again.
