The three sets of 77001 Sonic's Campfire Showdown, 77002 Cyclone VS. Metal Sonic and 77003 Super Shadow VS. BioLizzard introduce more new characters and Minifigures to the brick-built Green Hill Zone.

A couple of new brick-built enemies are also likely to make an appearance along with the enemy Balkiry who will be making his own appearance in the themes polybag of 30705 Balkiry Attack.
