The Mushroom Hill Zone (referred to as the Mushroom Valley in Sonic 3's level select mode) is the first zone in Sonic & Knuckles (7th Zone in Sonic 3 & Knuckles). It is a lush forest notable, as its name would suggest, for giant mushrooms that can be used as various springs and platforms. The mini-boss of this stage, Hey Ho, wields an axe and chops sections of tree trunks to throw at the player. It is a large forest filled with hills and giant mushrooms.
The second act takes place on a desperate run through the forest to stop Eggman from destroying it by means of a weather machine that rapidly progresses the seasons from spring, through summer and autumn and into winter. Through different sections, the color of the forest will change from green to red to tan. At the end, you must destroy the weather machine (in the form of a satellite dish in the ground) to turn the forest back to green and trigger the boss fight. It's basically a high-speed limbo game. Avoid the spike bars and attack Eggman. Once you have defeated him, you will witness a scene with Eggman escaping onto the next area, Flying Battery Zone.
[edit] Other appearances
The Zone returns in Sonic the Fighters the area set up on a giant tree stump surrounded by giant mushrooms. In story mode this is the stage Espio is fought on.
In the Archie Comics continuty, this is Espio's native zone.
In Sonic the Comic, the entire population of the Emerald Hill Zone was temporarily re-located to the Mushroom Hill Zone (also occasionally referred to as the Mushroom Valley) in order to protect them from Doctor Robotnik.[1]
