Toxic Pools

For this stage's 16-bit equivalent, see Toxic Caves.

Toxic Pools is the first level of Sonic Spinball (8-bit). It is the lowest point of the Veg-O Fortress, where the waste is thrown. Three Chaos Emeralds must be found to defeat this level's boss and advance.

Description

Toxic Pools is a disgusting, slimy dungeon. The level encompasses the half-submerged caves at the foot of Veg-O Fortress's mountain. In keeping with Dr. Robotnik's general ethos regarding environmentalism, the doctor is using the caves as a dumping ground for kilotons of radioactive slurry produced by the Veg-O Fortress' cruel industry. Rusted sewer pipes snake through rocks dripping with fluorescent purple pollution.

Story

After falling out of the sky outside the Veg-O Fortress's volcanic mountain, Sonic the Hedgehog makes his way into the Toxic Pools. There, he manages to get the area's three Chaos Emeralds, thereby destabilizing the volcanic activity in the mountain. Afterward, he defeats the Toxic Pools boss before advancing to Lava Powerhouse.
