Team Sonic is walking along the grounds of a haunted castle. Tails shows signs of fear.
Tails: Sonic, you sure this is the right way?
Sonic: I saw Shadow and Eggman head this way. This has gotta be the right way.
Tails: But my tracker doesn't show anything.
Arcee: Maybe it's malfunctioning.
First Niphal: I sense that that Shadow we saw isn't Shadow.
Knuckles: Maybe... that's the ghost of Shadow we saw earlier.
First Niphal: I doubt it.
Tails: That don't scare me, Knuckles!
Team Sonic turns their walk into a run.
After the failed joint battle, Team Sonic infiltrates the castle to find Eggman and Shadow. Team Dark enters the castle while Shadow ponders over his identity and who exactly Sonic is. Team Rose finds the haunted castle and continues after Amy reminds Cream and Big of Chocola and Froggy. Team Chaotix is off to find the keys located in the castle. Presumably to get into the Mystic Mansion.
Hang Castle is a large, mysterious and spooky area filled with many towers under a large moon in the background. The stone hallways outside of the towers are filled with torches, and sometimes contain dull-colored plants to the sides. Some tall, round platforms contain notable illumination marks on the surface resembling spiders. Throughout the area, the castle seems to have red banners with an eye embedded on them. Mist seems to also be present in some parts of the area. Towards the entrance to Mystic Mansion, there is a large tower crafted in the image of Dr. Eggman on one side and Neo Metal Sonic on the other.
Hang Castle contains the mysterious orb switch which seemingly flips the whole area upside down. The teams must tread around the floating platforms cautiously, especially if they are used to carry the teams across the castle's. Some of the floating platforms that move up and down will not move until the someone stands on them. Every now and then, pumpkin ghosts will pop out in unexpected places. The Egg Magician/Egg Bishop enemy also debuts here.
Through some trial and error and destroying some of Eggman's robots Team Sonic, like the other teams made it inside Mystic Mansion.
