Soleanna Forest,[1] also known as simply the Forest,[2] is a Town Stage in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and is one of the three hub worlds presented in the game. From here, players can access Action Stages, obtain Town Missions and collect Medals. It is an open part of wilderness outside the urbanized areas of Soleanna.

Overview[]

Soleanna Forest consists of two parts. The first part is full of tall and old trees, with their network of roots everwhere. The other part is the ancient castle that the royal family of Soleanna lived in until the accident during the Solaris Project. The latter is guarded by the priests who offer trials, and the ones who complete them will be allowed access to the castle through an eagle. Soleanna Forest is also shown to be in a mountainous area, as there are several caves in the enclosing mountain walls. In both ends of the Forest there are two doors that connect to either Soleanna New City or Soleanna Castle Town.

History[]

Past[]

Soleanna Forest was originally the site of the previous castle of the royal family of Soleanna, until the accident during the Solaris Project ruined the whole castle, leaving Soleanna Forest and the ruins as just a place for sightseeing.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)[]

The other side of Soleanna Forest with part of the Ancient Castle, from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

In Sonic's story, Sonic the Hedgehog first came to Soleanna Forest after defeating the Egg Genesis, where he escaped into Tropical Jungle with Elise. However, he later returned to reach Kingdom Valley, after completing the three trials given by the priests.

In Shadow's story, Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge the Bat came through Soleanna Forest from White Acropolis to reach the recovery point in the ancient castle. In Silver's story, Silver the Hedgehog arrived in Soleanna Forest after being sent to Sonic's timeline by Mephiles the Dark. He also went through Soleanna Forest to go to Kingdom Valley, after finishing the three trials.

In the Last Story, both Elise and Sonic were going through Soleanna Forest. However, Mephiles used his Chaos Emerald to distract them, and from behind, he impaled Sonic and killed him. After the final battle with Solaris, it is unknown what is the state of Soleanna Forest is as the incident during the Solaris Project was erased from history.

Trivia[]

  • Soleanna Forest is the last Town Stage that Sonic is able to enter, as he must complete his entire Episode before he is allowed to enter the area (except during the short time when carrying Elise in it.)
  • Of all the Town Stages in the game, Soleanna Forest is the largest and as such one of the emptiest in the entire game.
  • If one causes a glitch to get Sonic into Soleanna Forest early, an area could be found in the center containing the 2-Dimensional objects that are used during the Race with Sonic Man and other Highway side-missions. There is nothing else one can do here, as the doors do not show up nor do level entrances if one does this glitch.
  • Of all the characters to enter Soleanna Forest, Shadow is the only one to not go through the Trials of Soleanna in order to reach his version of Kingdom Valley.
  • When the player saves in Soleanna Forest, the save file for the Town Stage is typed as "Soleanna forest".
