Flower Mountain City/Spark the Electric Jester

Flower Mountain City (shortened to F.M. City in-game) is the first stage in Spark The Electric Jester.

Landscape
Flower Mountain City, per the name, is a city. It's located in a valley surrounded by mountains. The city's buildings colors vary primarily from red to violet, and they contain a lot of shrubbery. The buildings themselves range from 100 meters to a couple kilometers tall, to the point that they overshadow a lot of the city's bottom. From space, it looks vaguely like a flower. The mountains surrounding the city are blue and green, with snow at their peaks. The grass is green with dark green stripes, and the rocks are tinted blue. Per its name, it also has a bunch of flowers. Spark 's house is located here, on the outskirts of the city.

Level Architecture
Due to this being the introductory level, a lot of the gimmicks are fairly tame. The few enemies you do encounter here are fairly easy to deal with. Upon hitting your first checkpoint, you'll face your first miniboss: Gome. Upon defeating Gome, it'll open up a new path, allowing you to move forward. This path contains Green Laser Cannons, so be careful. Once through the path, you'll encounter the next boss: Aome. After defeating it, you'll reach the Level Clear Sign. After clearing the level, move forward, and then Spark will have an interaction with Fark. Once that's over with, you move on to the next stage.

Fark's Story Differences
This being the starting level, Fark's difficulty, while higher than Spark's, is still relatively managable if you've beaten a lot of the later levels. The key differences are that some of the enemies have been put in more troublesome areas, Fhlomps have been added around, and after the Gome fight, a Hellhound.exe will emerge from the wreckage and fight you. Once the boss fight against the Hellhound.exe is over, things will continue as normal.

Trivia

 * This is the only stage that has a stage with the exact same name as it in the sequel.
 * The level's design is reminiscent of Green Hill Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog. Considering that the main creator of the game also created three Sonic fangames before this one, it's likely that this was intended.
