In Act 2, the foreground is pretty much the same. This Act mainly consists of hills that are varying degrees of steep, and hills of varying heights, often leading to higher sections in the Act.
The Act itself also ends in a cave with a beautiful subterranean lake in the background and small rock formations. These underground areas are not very dark, as a lot of sunlight shines into them. Also, underneath this area, there is a series of brown caves that are slightly flooded with water and features visible stone stalactites and stalagmites. The foreground also features one wooden bridge after another. In the background, a clean, blue lake is seen in front of some short and spiky mountains with waterfalls coming out of them. The soil is brown and has a checkered pattern on it, and is covered by lime grass with slightly darker lines on it. Also decorating this area are thin, tall palm trees, lavender stones, and totem poles.
Presented as a tropical area taking place underneath a clean, light blue sky with white clouds, it is full of moving flowers that take the appearance of either sun flowers or lavender flowers. In Act 1, Green Hill Zone is a slightly modified version of its counterpart's first three Acts from the original Sonic the Hedgehog.
