Power Plant (パワープラント,Pawā Puranto?), also known as Power Plant Zone, is the fourth stage in Sonic Heroes. It looks and plays similar to its preceding stage, Grand Metropolis.
This stage takes place in the same city as the previous stage, Grand Metropolis, and still features the same blue roads that pull the player forward even when they are not running. Vertical versions of these paths also appear, pulling the characters up to a higher level of the plant. There are also sections where the player will ride on a rising circular platform above a bottomless pit, and a section at the end of the level for Team Sonic and Team Dark where they must quickly navigate upward through a large reactor filling with a red energy storage tank.
Story[]
The teams have entered one of HEXAeco's power generating energy facilities. Now, the primary objective is for the teams to stop Eggman from stealing the city's energy by clearing out the plant. Team Sonic must escape the plant while clearing it of enemies. Team Dark must escape the plant while also fulfilling Omega's desire to smash as much of Eggman's army as possible. Team Rose must escape the plant to follow Sonic. Team Chaotix are tasked by their client to eliminate Gold Camerons that control the systems of the city.
In this assignment, Team Chaotix must find and destroy three Gold Camerons somewhere in the plant. In the Extra Mission, they must destroy all five of the enemies found in the level.
To destroy the Gold Camerons, the player must first destroy or activate all items around it before switching to Espio. They must then perform a Leaf Swirl to flip the robot upside down and use Vector to destroy it.
The normally inaccessible 2nd goal ring for Team Rose is moved from the top of the energy storage tank (usual ending position for Team Sonic/Dark), to just before the energy storage tank.
Unlike Grand Metropolis, the blue energy escalators as objects don't have back faces.
In part of the energy storage tank, one of the numbers in level 10 is incorrect, as it instead displays "14."
Using cheats, it is possible for Team Rose to explore Team Sonic and Team Dark's section of Power Plant. One interesting detail is that the (normally inaccessible) 2nd Goal Ring for Team Rose is moved to just before the energy storage tank. There is no Goal Ring at the top of the tank. This could suggest that the level ending position for Team Rose was originally intended to be much later, just before the energy storage tank platforming challenge (which would be considered hard for Team Rose's difficulty). However, in the final version of the level, the developers decided to make the level easier and shorter for Team Rose, by placing the Goal Ring much earlier.
