Angel Island Zone is the first zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (or Sonic 3 & Knuckles). When playing as Sonic, a somewhat lengthy introduction is played in which Sonic and Tails discover Angel Island and first run into Knuckles. In the beginning the zone looks very peaceful with a green jungle and water in the background. But halfway through Act 1, the Fire Breath appears and sets the entire level on fire with his flamethrower (and with the help of many other similar fire breaths which appears in the background in that moment). From that moment on, the level has an only-fire background, quite the opposite from the "water and green jungle"-background in the beginning. The Fire Breath returns in the end of act 1 as the mini-boss. In act 2, A huge warship known as The Flying Battery will try to kill the character by dropping huge bombs. The player must outrun the machine, simply by holding right on the control pad, and it will eventually fly away.

[edit] Boss

The boss for this level is File Breath, who you first see burning up the forest. It has a flamethrower and bomb launchers, though it only uses the latter if you are playing as Knuckles. If you have the Fire Shield, just go below it and deck it. If not, wait until it comes down, then hit it a few times. Watch out for when it shoots a flame, when it comes down, and when the three missiles shoot off. After six hits, Fire Breath is destroyed and you can move onto the next level.

[edit] Trivia

  • Complete a Special/Bonus stage on act 1 to change the act 1 music to act 2 music. It's a glitch.
  • A remixed version of both acts of music was composed by Jun Senue for The True Bue Soundtrack and Super Smash Bros. Brawl
