A fan made composition imitating the style and instrumentation of the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series (Genesis era). This particular piece uses several basic synths that resemble the tones produced by the sound chips found in a Sega Genesis console.

------------------------------------

The imagined setting for this fictitious level would be a massive underground vault, used as a containment center for the by-products of Dr. Robotnik's experiments and creations. Everything from scrap metal, to radioactive waste, and even failed experiments/prototypes lie in this dormant, but deadly warehouse.

The vault would be divided into two sections- the First Act being a chemical storage/treatment area. Think Chemical Plant Zone from Sonic 2, only much more confined and pressing with obstacles. This area would have a variety of liquid based hazards in the forms of deep and shallow pools, pouring and dripping valves, slippery oil slicks, etc. Many kinds of waste could be found here, ranging from "dirty" water that sonic could become submerged and drown in, goopy oil similar to Oil Ocean, and neon colored acids that would result in instantaneous damage/death.

The level design would be set up relatively linearly, with tiers in some sections, especially near the end of the act. This final tiered section would give way for a flooding event, complete with a slow rising liquid level that Sonic would have to escape from (once again, think Chemical Plant Zone).

Once Sonic reaches a safe place, he would be confronted with a miniboss (perhaps a robot designed similar to a chemical centrifuge?). After completing this fight, Sonic would continue into the Second Act, and second half of the vault- a store-house of failed and faulty robots, deemed too dangerous and unstable for Robotnik himself to attempt to use in his conquests.
