Mirage Dunes Zone

Mirage Dunes is the fifth zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 5. You'll unlock this zone after you defeat Dr. Eggman in Midnight Casino Zone. It's a desert/industrial themed zone. The first zone is a desert themed while the second zone is an oil refinery where Eggman has oil to power up his citadel. The level resembles Oil Desert from Sonic 4: Episode 2.
=== Act 1 ===
This level is desert themed with cacti, quicksand, sand blocks, and tornadoes. This level also contains gimmicks like bouncing on yellow clouds, palm trees, and breaking into pyramids by Spin Dashing. In the background, you can see the oil refinery foreshadowing the next act. At the end of the level, you can slip on oil.
=== Act 2 ===
This level is industrial themed level. This level contains gimmicks like oil slides, conveyor belts holding oil barrels, oil falls that act like waterfalls. Halfway through the level, Fang appears and holds a match on fire. He then throws in into the oil causing the next half to be on fire. At the second half, there's fireballs, a fire sea, Badnik wreckage, and falling sand blocks.
== Badniks ==
Sherring: A robotic police officer. He throws ring-like handcuffs at you, trapping you sometimes
Lick-zard: A lizard Badnik that uses its tongue to hit you. Sometimes it shoots out bolts at you.
Bomber Buzzard: A buzzard badnik which can drop bombs and nukes at you.
Hot-Head: A fire Badnik. It shoots fire out of its head. It usually appears in Act 2. Only three appear in Act 1.
== Boss Battle ==
Eggman has the Egg Mobile modified with oil launchers and bombs. Eggman attacks by gushing out oil from the cannons. After he does that he drops a bomb causing an explosion. Eggman will drop down launching more oil. That's your chance to attack him from the head. This could take long to defeat him. Sometimes, he could launch grenades. After 7 hits, his Egg Mobile is damaged and he can't attack, but he can throw hammers at you. After one more hit, he flees to the mountains.
