The Cotton Factory Zone is a peaceful, green Zone somewhere on Mobius. The area's rolling hills and picturesque scenery is mainly inhabited by sheep. During his rule of Mobius, Doctor Robotnik installed a factory in the middle of a field and made the locals to work there, forcing them to create egg cosies and socks with their own wool.
Johnny Lightfoot arrived in the Zone one day after receiving a distress call from one such worker. The sheep would have preferred it if Sonic the Hedgehog had come to help, but Johnny insisted on saving the day. He was soon ambushed by Commander Brutus' Badniks, but used the Badniks' terrible aim to destroy the factory, liberating its slaves. The Zone continued to be the centre of attention for a while, with Brutus using his Brain Scanner on Johnny to discover the whereabouts of the Emerald Hill folk and his part in Bob Beaky's Travelling Circus. Brutus left the Zone when he realised he had absorbed the traits of one of the Freedom Fighters.
Trivia[]
- The Zone is very similar to what the Chemical Plant Zone once was, rolling fields filled with sheep replaced by factories.
- Since the "Cotton Factory" was the name of Robotnik's operation, it is unknown what the name of the Zone was before or after its liberation.
