MAPA1, Jade Coast Zone Act 1, abbreviated as JCZ1, is the first act of Jade Coast Zone, the first zone in Mystic Realm. It is set on a tropical beach and its surrounding area. With three independent paths through the level, it is quite complex for an introduction level, but is still very easy and can be finished quickly.

Walkthrough

You start out on a grassy platform next to a beach. Behind you to your left is a small island with a Mario block on top of it, which displays a welcome message if you jump on it. From the starting point, you can take three paths:

Left path

In front of you, you can see a lake with a waterfall. Jump on top of the small platform next to the lake and from there to the ledge in front of you. You will reach a small enclosed area with a cave entrance above you and a yellow spring on the ground. Use it to reach the cave and continue until you reach the outside again, with a Star Post in front of you. Now, you must jump across a cliff and into another cave. Keep going through the cave, ignoring the opening to its side, until you reach a grassy area. Walk forward to reach the Level End Sign.

Right path

Instead of going forward to the lake, turn right and walk along the beach. After running for a while, you will reach a series of high platforms leading to the left and a lake behind them. Walk behind the lowest platform and turn around to find a yellow spring. Use it to get on top of the platform and hop across the next few ones, avoiding the Crawlas, until you reach a narrow passage with a Star Post. Enter the cave in front of you, take the yellow spring and exit the cave through the staircase. You will reach a grassy area. Turn left and walk forward to reach the Level End Sign.

Upper path

The cliff right next to you has a tunnel inside it. To reach it, walk forward and turn around once you reach the beach. Jump through the opening in the wall and climb up until you reach a grassy ledge. Continue forward until you reach a row of yellow springs. Take them and you will reach a cliff right above the beach. Jump to the ledge across the beach to reach a Star Post. Enter the lower cave to your right and continue until you reach a grassy area. Walk forward to reach the Level End Sign.

Points of interest

Bridge/Waterfall

From your starting point, if you look to the right, you can see a very high T-shaped bridge above the beach. This bridge is connected to the waterfall in front of you and has a tunnel inside it that leads to a secret area. To access it as Sonic, follow the left path until you reach the Star Post. After jumping into the next cave, turn around and you will see a ledge to the left of the one you jumped from. One of the walls is breakable and leads into a flooded cave, containing an Armageddon Shield. Spindash through the next wall as well and you will reach a small room. Spindash through the wall in front of you to reach the waterfall entrance, containing a Super Ring Monitor, an Elemental Shield and an extra life. On the left side of the small room, there is a row of red springs that lead into the aforementioned tunnel. After crossing it, you will reach a beach area with a pool of water. The pool contains three small islands. Jump on the middle one with the house on it to collect two extra lives. Take one of the red springs at the base of the cliff to get back up and reach the main level again.

Extra lives

• On the upper path, after taking the row of yellow springs, turn around and jump on the high platform behind you that acts as a wall for the normal path. Then jump onto the platform that the tunnel was located in. Look at the high cliff with the waterfall at the side and you should see two ledges attached to the wall and another to the right of them. Jump across these ledges to reach the cliff the last one is attached to. Between the flowers and the palm trees, you will find an extra life.
• In the final room, there is a small cave up high in the rightmost wall containing an extra life. It can only be reached as Tails or Knuckles.
• In Sonic's emblem location.

Shields

• In front of the starting point, right next to the lake, there is a circle of rings and a breakable wall containing an Attraction Shield.
• Walk behind the platforms on the beach of the right path and you will see a breakable wall. It contains a ring monitor and an Armageddon Shield.
• Take the upper path and continue until you can look down on the beach to the left. Turn around and you should see a small alcove inside the platform that contained the tunnel. Jump to it to collect a ring monitor and a Whirlwind Shield.
• On the the upper path, in the area with the Star Post and the cave entrance, there is a breakable wall to the left containing an Elemental Shield.

Invincibility

• At the starting point, turn around and walk along the wall to your left. You will find an invincibility monitor in the corner of the wall.
• Another invincibility monitor is located close to the lake on the right path, behind a bustable wall to the right.

Emblem locations

Emblem	Game info/hints	Description
File:Emblem-MR1.png	This one is easy. It's in a circle of rings. Just run straight ahead.	When you start the level, run straight to the circle of Rings in front of the breakable wall. The Emblem is in the middle.
File:Emblem-MR2.png	High above the goal. Fly or climb up to the cave. The prize lies inside.	When you start the stage as Tails or Knuckles, take the right path at the beginning of the stage, then climb up to a grassy cliff. Stay on the bottom path and head through the cave straight ahead of you. Once you come out, you'll see a small alcove containing an Extra Life Monitor. From there, fly or climb up the wall you came out of and you'll see a hole near the top. Once inside the cave, destroy the Red and Blue Crawlas, and you'll find the Emblem at the end of the tunnel.
File:Emblem-MR3.png	It's a common trope: A secret hidden behind the lone waterfall.	At the start of the stage, there is a waterfall with an entry at the top. In the lake surrounding it, there are Crawlas underwater that you must bounce off of as Sonic to reach it. Alternatively, you can use Tails or Knuckles to fly or climb into the tunnel. Inside, break the bustable wall and make a right. After riding the springs, keep going to the exit and you'll find a house sitting on an island. The Emblem is on the roof.
