Sky Rail is the eleventh stage in the Dark Story of Sonic Adventure 2 and is played by Shadow the Hedgehog.

OverviewEdit

It is safe to say that Sky Rail takes place somewhere near Pumpkin Hill, as the two stages look very similar. Shadow must chase and find Tails' Tornado before it gets too far. There are many rails to grind on in this zone. These are most likely train tracks for the ghost trains seen in Pumpkin Hill. In this level, the Bounce Spinner gimmick causes the Spinner to fly upwards when the Homing Attack is used. This takes a bit of practice to get used to. There is a big location in this zone which is rather difficult to see. The music for this stage is called "Mr. Unsmiley".

UpgradeEdit

Shadow's Ancient Light upgrade is located here as an optional upgrade. This allows him to use the Light Speed Attack. Not far from the start of the stage, one can see a container for the Chao key. If one walks off the left edge of the platform, beetles will appear to use the Homing Attack to reach a spring; the Ancient Light is found on the platform directly overhead.

TriviaEdit

• As soon as the player begins this stage, they will be grinding down a rail. When the player looks to the right side of the mountain, they should see some sort of steel device with a wheel at the end emerging from the mountain. Big's head can be seen where the device and the mountain come together (Dreamcast only).
• The beginning of the stage in the Dreamcast version is different in the GameCube remake. Noticeably, the platform underneath the rails with the 1-Up is missing.
• The Bounce Spinners reappear in Sonic Generations in a mission at Sky Sanctuary.
• In an early trailer of the game (shown at E3 2000), Sonic is shown in this level instead of Shadow.
• Sky Rail is likely either an inspiration for, or a prototype of, Rail Canyon.
