- Flying Battery Zone

Navigate Sonic the Hedgehog 3's Flying Battery Zone with this comprehensive walkthrough. Overcome flame blasters, Prison Eggs, mines, and crushing platforms in Acts 1 and 2.

Flying Battery Zone is a remade version of Sonic 2's Wing Fortress Zone. It's quite the change from the nature of Mushroom Hill Zone. Obstacles include flame blasters, Prison Eggs, mines, and crushing platforms. In Act 1, you'll be underneath the battleship for a while, so be ready. I think Act 2 is easier. If you follow this Walkthrough, you should be prepared for the many obstacles in this level.

Act 1

1. Go right and head through the purple cylinder. Go down the platform and head left. Go past the flame blasters and head right. Outside the Flying Battery, hop across the platforms and use the levers. Jump onto the ledge and go up to re-enter the Blimp.
2. Go past the Starpost and make your way through the purple cylinders. Spin Dash up the slope and position Sonic on the flame blaster. After being catapulted upwards, go right and use the moving platforms to go over to the flame blaster. If you open the Prison Egg, Badniks will emerge from it, so watch out.
3. Use the flame blaster to go upwards. Go past the mines and use the poles. Drop down and go left. Jump over the speed boost and go past more mines. Go down the platform and head right. Wait for the platforms to rise to avoid getting crushed.
4. Go past the Starpost and press the switch. Drop down and go left. Spin Dash up the slopes and jump on the Prison Egg. Run through the purple cylinders and drop down. Go right and head past the Starpost. Go up the slopes and use the moving platforms.
5. Jump on the Prison Egg and use the spring. Go right and wait for the missiles to uncover an opening for you to drop through. When you drop down, run through the purple cylinder and head past the Starpost.
