Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. There are two levels in "Ecco 2" where the moon is visible in the background. Lunar Bay is one. What is the other?

Answer: Dark Sea

Lunar Bay and Dark Sea are two of the nicest-looking levels in the game, but are also among the hardest. If the clawed aliens on these levels catch you, you're taken to a fiendishly-hard mini-level where you actually become one of the aliens!

2. Which of these levels does not feature at least one Vortex creature?

Answer: Gravitorbox

There is a Vortex on Two Tides, in the bay where the level starts. It's just hard to find. Vortex are easy to kill, but if you touch them, they'll kill you instantly.

3. What do the stages Moray Abyss, Globe Holder, and Vortex Queen have in common?

Answer: All of these

The music on these levels is REALLY good, but the levels themselves are pretty hard, except for Vortex Queen.

4. How many levels can Ecco fall to his death on?

Answer: 5

The levels Ecco can fall to his death on are Sky Tides, Aqua Tubeway, Vortex Future, Black Clouds, and Gravitorbox. He actually doesn't fall to his death on Tubes of Medusa, he just goes back to Skyway.

5. What is the only level with whales in the background?

Answer: Big Water

The whales help you get through a wall obstructing the way to the end of the level. They are also the largest creatures in the game, even larger than the bosses!

6. Which enemy can't be found on the Vortex future levels?

Answer: Vortex

That's right, there aren't any Vortex in the Vortex future. Vortex only appear on the levels Two Tides, Sea of Darkness, Lunar Bay, Dark Sea, New Machine, and City of Forever.

7. How is the Asterite of the future different from the Asterite of the present?

Answer: Color

The Asterite is an ancient creature that gives you the ability to stay underwater indefinitely without drowning and automatically regenerate health. In the present, the Asterite is multi-colored, whereas the Asterite in the future is a uniform metallic silver color.

8. How many different creatures can Ecco become using the Metasphere?

Answer: 5

Ecco can use the Metasphere to become a bird, jellyfish, shark, Vortex drone, or school of fish. Metaspheres appear on the levels Fin to Feather, Eagle's Bay, Vents of Medusa, The Hungry Ones, Inter, Innuendo, Trans, Inside, and Fish City.

9. If you're caught by Vortex drones on the level "New Machine", which Vortex level do you go to?

Answer: Trans

Inter and Innuendo are the Vortex levels for Lunar Bay and Dark Sea, respectively, and Inside is the level you go to when swallowed by the Vortex Queen. In all of these levels, Ecco turns into a Vortex drone using a metasphere and must reach the metasphere at the end to turn back into a dolphin and escape.

10. Which of these levels is only accessible on Hard mode?

Answer: Maze of Stone

Thankfully, too-Maze of Stone is a fiendishly-difficult level. The other two levels that are only available on Hard are Aqua Tubeway and New Machine. Aqua Tubeway is on a par with Maze of Stone for difficulty, whereas New Machine is comparatively easy.

11. Where else can the music for the level "Atlantis" be heard?

Answer: The Vortex levels

The music for Atlantis is the same as the music for the Vortex levels. It's another really good track.

12. Which of these levels does NOT have unique music?

Answer: Skylands

The Skylands music can also be heard on Two Tides.

13. How many levels are there where you have to hunt for the Asterite's globes?

Answer: 4

The levels are Sea of Birds, The Eye, Big Water, and Deep Ridge. Sea of Birds and Big Water are rather small levels with only one pair of globes each, whereas The Eye and Deep Ridge are huge levels with many globes.

14. The Magic Arm, which gives you the Hunter Song, appears on two levels. Which ones?

Answer: Gateway and Secret Cave

I actually was never able to figure out the Magic Arm. I've just read about it in FAQs. Apparently it shoots bubbles, each of which gives Ecco one usage of the Hunter Song. The Hunter Song is a homing blast of sonar that can be used on 3-D levels.

15. What level shares a name with a level from the first "Ecco" game?

Answer: City of Forever

The City of Forever was sinfully-easy in the first game, but incredibly difficult in the second, thanks to the many Vortex larvae, which can instantly kill you on contact, but are also the only way to get through the gates in the level.
