Scrap Brain Zone/Pre-SGW

The Scrap Brain Zone  was one of Dr. Eggman's bases of operation. It had the layout of an industrial city, and Dr. Eggman equipped it with many types of booby-traps (flamethrowers, lasers, trapdoors, etc).

Genesis
Dr. Eggman occupied this area during the period when his Operation: Clean Sweep altered reality and reshaped Mobius. Its appearance as a highly industrialized area seemed to have struck some chords in the memories of Sonic the Hedgehog and Boomer, who suggested that the area should have been named Robotropolis or New Megaopolis. The Scrap Brain Zone eventually lead to the Final Zone. (StH: #227)
