Hill Zone

Green Hill Zone (as known as Hill in the title card) is a level in Sonic.exe: The Spirits of Hell. It is Tails' first level, and the first level in the game over all.

Story
Tails has just arrived at Green Hill to look for Sonic. As he flies along, he starts seeing dead animals on the ground, and asks himself; what if he's next? He wonders if he should return to tell the others, but knows he must be brave. At the end, he sees Sonic, and is thankful that he has found him. Then, he gets concerned, because Sonic's not looking at him. As Tails approaches, static appears on screen, just like in the original Sonic.EXE. Unlike the original game though, when Sonic opens his eyes, there's no trace of the demon. Sonic asks Tails what he's doing here. Tails says that he thought that Sonic needed help. Sonic sights the Tornado, which is how Tails arrived, and sets off towards it. Tails is now worried, noticing blood on Sonic's gloves. He asks Sonic what has happened, but Sonic just says that they need to get moving.

Gameplay
Hill is just your basic level off Sonic.EXE, except that the grass goes white when Tails is in the third section (when the music goes down). After the cutscene with Sonic, you enter your first choice. You need to decide whether to go with Sonic, or to escape. If you choose to escape, you will enter Hide and Seek Act 1. If you choose to go with Sonic, and return to the Tornado, Sonic will grab Tails, and slice him into the propellers, killing him. It is then revealed to be Exeller possessing Sonic, as he laughs evilly.

Green Ring and Black Ring Locations
This wasn't mentioned on the Home Page, but in Round 1, you can collect green rings and black rings. Green rings can save your life if you make a wrong choice. In this case, as Exeller is about to thrust Tails into the propellers of the Tornado, the ring's power allows Sonic to break through and drop Tails, allowing you to move on to Hide and Seek Act 1. Black rings can spare a character if they are the only survivor of the 3. The black ring for Tails can be found at the start as you enter the second section (when the music first changes). At this point, return to the Tornado and the ring will be there. Just don't attempt it after you enter the third section though, as if you do, Exeller will chase Tails and eventually catch him. A message then appears, saying "There are no Easter eggs!" The green ring can be found just before the entrance to the third section (near where Exeller is hiding in the tree). Just jump and collect it.
