Master Emerald Shrine

Master Emerald Shrine is a location in Angel Island.

It is a chunk of Angel Island, notably the one with the Master Emerald and its shrine, floating in the air.

Despite floating above Angel Island, it is in fact chained down to a pole in Green Hill.

Interestingly enough, the Master Emerald Shrine was introduced before the Angel Island zone itself. Before the zone was introduced, the shrine was referred to as Angel Island.

The design of the Master Emerald Shrine is based off the design from the Sega Dreamcast's Sonic Adventure.
