Arid Canyon Zone

Arid Canyon Zone is the fifth Zone of SRB2. It is incomplete and easy to get lost in. It is the result of two Zone concepts being fused together.

Overview
It is set in a dried-out canyon (hence the name) with just a bit of water. Cacti and tumbleweed are present as decoration. There are a lot of rope pulleys. There are a lot of death pits and a bit of underground areas with machinery.

Acts
This Act is a dried-out canyon littered with enemies, crumbling platforms over death pits and underground areas. There are tumbling rocks in this level as well as a few enemy traps designed to catch you off-guard. There is a long rope pulley parkour section at the end as well as three Emerald Tokens in this level.

Main things
The enemies here are sort of different from earlier because each one has something special you need to keep in mind. The whole place is yellow and is quite easy to get lost in. Crumbling platforms are featured as a prominent hazard.
