The fourth section is a giant room, which must be slowly climbed up using the mystical Lit Panels that allow the character to walk on walls. The third section has a waterfall, which leads to a pond with stepping stones resting in the water, followed by having to escape from a giant burning boulder headed straight for the player (reminiscent of the opening scene of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark). The second section is dark and mirrors can be used to light it up. The first section has a large swimming snake, which must be used to find three switches to open a door of snakes. There are five sections scattered across the stage. There are also some puzzles to resolve in this part of the shrine. To light them on, a light projectiles system can produce some light in a part of these sections, which also includes mirrors that make the light reflected to light up the largest possible parts. Some parts of the interior take place in a bottomless pit with some small platforms that cannot be seen without light. To make traveling in water easier, there is a Snake-like rocked version which can travel on the surface and into water. Skill and timing is required to master this level.

Sonic goes through all three, while Knuckles goes through only the third. The level is divided into three main parts: a long maze-like section that ends with a flooded room where switches must be pushed to open the door, a dark passage with a waterfall and bolder running segment, and a room with panels that can be walked on when aligned. The level is an abandoned world consisting of temple passages with large water streams and inflamed traps, including protruding bars and rolling boulders. The stage can only be accessed in one of two ways: through the main entrance during an earthquake ( Sonic), or through a vent at the back of the temple which can be unlocked by two stone keys ( Knuckles). 5 Differences between the Dreamcast and GameCube.
