Sonic's movement physics naturally lend themselves to pinball style gameplay elements, which this level takes advantage of with its iconic flippers, bumpers and drop targets. Illuminated brightly by dazzling neon, the colours are bright and garish with reds and blues decorating the luxurious golden buildings.

Taking cues from the first game's vaguely similar Spring Yard Zone, the Casino Night Zone pushes the Las Vegas vibes up to eleven with glitz and glamour strewn across a vast metropolis set at night. The grand daddy of them all, from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, released in 1992. Let's look back at some of the most notable entries. Eggman has to fund his nefarious schemes one way or another, so perhaps this explains the abundance of casinos throughout the series history.

Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon and Charmy Bee have appeared in the casino.Ask most people to name, off the top of their head, the most iconic Sonic the Hedgehog level themes, and the casino zone will no doubt fall from their lips - albeit right after the obligatory introductory tropical paradise level of course.

It is a casino-themed city located in West Side Island, decorated with operational slot machines, neon signs, and other things related to usual casinos.

In the video games, Casino Night Zone is the fourth zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Knuckles leaves the arena having won rings, which he grants the scavengers in favor of helping him locate Sonic. Knuckles thus breaks out of his withholding chains, and forcefully punches the beast in it's face.

The beast attacks Knuckles, which angers him. When everybody is told to place their bets, the battle ensues. Whilst hunting for Sonic the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna is captured by scavengers and is brought to Casino Night, where a battle between a humongous beast and 'the last of the Echidnas' is announced. Knuckles unleashes his rage ' Our challenger is a rare breed indeed-none other than the last of the Echidnas! Place your bets!' ―Announcer
