Match stages


MAPFA, Nimbus Ruins Zone, is the eleventh and last Capture the Flag level in Sonic Robo Blast 2 v2.1. It originally debuted in v1.08, and it is still present in v2.1 with some alterations. The map is made up of small floating platforms over a death pit, which makes it notoriously hard to stay alive. Therefore, it takes quick reflexes on the jump button to get across the stage with any speed. This makes it a very slow-scoring map, and causes many players to choose Tails for this stage.

Points of interest

Weapon rings

  • The Bounce Ring Panels are located on the platforms to the sides of the centerpiece.
  • The Rail Ring Panels are located on the platforms in front of the bases.
  • The Automatic Ring Panels are located on the platforms to the front and left of the bases that connect to the left tower of the centerpiece.
  • The Explosion Ring Panels are located on the platforms to the front and right of the bases.
  • The Scatter Ring Panels are located on top of the bridges that connect the towers of the centerpiece.
  • The sole Grenade Ring Panel is located inside the central tower of the centerpiece.

Monitors

  • The SRM is located on top of the central tower of the centerpiece. Its base item is a Whirlwind Shield.
  • One WRM each is located on the platform that, when looking from the bases, extends to the left of the left tower of the centerpiece. Its base item is a Super Ring Monitor.

Playing strategy

  • Sniping points consist of the central tower and the bridges that connect the towers of the centerpiece.
  • Instead of taking the whole path around the stage, players may also jump to the centerpiece from the platform with the Rail Ring. This is possible, albeit dangerous, without using a spindash or a special ability, so flag carriers must be careful when attempting this.
  • Since this stage consists of narrow floating platforms over a death pit, high-knockback weapons like Explosion, Scatter and Rail are very effective because they may knock the opponent into a pit.
