Sonic Triple Trouble: Part 5: Tidal Plant Zone (Sonic)
16The end is getting near for this adventure, and just like with Sonic Chaos, Triple Trouble's 5th Zone is a water level.
Seems to be a total antithesis to Aqua Planet. It's possible to go through that Zone without taking a dive once. In Tidal Plant, though, you MUST, as... I say 90% of both Acts here take place underwater.
Most of the air bubbles you'll come across are ones that spawn from switches. Sonic can right in these bubbles to drift around and reach new heights. They'll only pop if you get hit or jump. This almost works just like the giant bubbles of 8-Bit Sonic 2's Aqua Lake.
You can occasionally find a unique Propeller Shoes powerup for Sonic here. They actually let him swim! For a few seconds...
Lastly... ONCE AGAIN! Why do Water Zones have some of the best songs in a Sonic game?!
----------
I already got all of the Chaos Emeralds at this point, but if you didn't, Act 1's Emerald Monitor will be at 3:30 - 3:40, while Act 2's Emerald Monitor will be at 8:35! These appear as Ring Monitors in my playthrough, instead.
----------
Act 3's boss may be a bit of a shock.
Because knock knock, IT'S KNUCKLES!
Act 3 is entirely underwater, yet Knuckles can apparently breathe while Sonic can still drown here. Eggman gave him a nifty little machine to kill you with!
It launches bombs and missiles, and after a couple of these, he leaves, which is when an air bubble for Sonic comes out from the ground.
It seems like the game intended for Sonic to always bounce back to the left after hitting Knuckles from the right. However, you can mostly bypass this by getting right under Knuckles before jumping at him. I guess this was meant to be a harder boss for how many hits he takes.
Defeating Knuckles in his pod THEN causes him to drown, and then you can move on to the final zone of this game. Poor Knuckles...
