Here's the only known magazine article that mentions the title Dust Hill Zone:

Surprised? Maybe you expected pictures from the desert and a description of "Ashura" on the side. :P

If you can prove that Dust Hill is something else, post your proof*.




*Mangled interviews don't count.

Ok now I have couple reasons to believe this scan is a hoax here are my reeasons...

1. If Sonic fell in the pic where he is currently wouldn't Sonic have picked up those 2 rings he's touching if he'd already started moving a bit.

2. If sonic was hit by the robotnic mobile (can't remember name) wouldn't he have fallen further back than his current possition and walked to where he is in the picture picking up a few rings.

Maybe they're just more mock-up pictures. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that Dust Hill is Mystic Cave Zone, and not the desert level.

Im gonna say what I said before

When people talk about Mystic Caves in the beta, they call it that, Mystic Caves. You don't say "Dust Hill in the beta is really hard"... get it? so

I don't see what the big deal is about people calling that desert zone Dust Hill. Yes it's not the official name, but we give names to glitches and sprite recollerings, we can certainly give the desert level a name. Why not Dust Hill? I know you can say "Why not Genocide City?" too but well, given the two, Dust hill is better.

I mean, for crying out loud, if we give name to gliches (Ashura, Wechnia) we can certainly name the zone Dust Hill I thikn. As long as people know it's not the real name.

Damnit, Dust Hill IS the beta name for Mystic Caves. We've proved that ages ago.

You might as well just call the desert zone The Desert Zone, or TDZ, it's as good as name as you need...

He might have got hit by a falling spike. Maybe he didn't get hit at all, they might not have fixed the bug where Tails loses Sonic's rings yet.

Just an idea.

I say it's buggy collision detection. Nobody said a prototype version of a game had to be perfect.

Damnit?... okay I KNOW it was the beta name for Mystic Caves... but people never call it Dust Hill. My point is, I do't see what the problem is with people calling the desert level Dust Hill. It just bugs me when someone says Dust Hill and someone else goes "Nope that wasn't the name for the desert zone and ladidada" like they're so smart.

I just don't see the big deal, whatever

The big deal is that it's misinformation. It's proven that Dust Hill is Mystic Cave, so why say what's not true? Do you regularly go about saying things whichare not true?

Another thing about that pic is if Sonic and Tails were close to the rings, wouldn't they pick it up? They are, but thte ring count is STILL zero.

In our beta, I noticed that after you get hit, it takes a little bit before you can pick up rings you've lost. Maybe that same bug is still there.
