**Zone** is a mode in [[:wipeout_series|the WipEout series]] where the player is indefinitely gaining speed, trying to survive for as long as possible.

**Zone** was featured in [[wipeout_series:WipEout Fusion|WipEout Fusion]], [[wipeout_series:WipEout Pure|WipEout Pure]],  [[wipeout_series:WipEout Pulse|WipEout Pulse]], [[wipeout_series:WipEout HD|WipEout HD]] and [[wipeout_series:WipEout 2048|WipEout 2048]]. The mode's objectives, rules, environments and semantics differ game by game, but **Zone** generally rewards the player's skill to handle high speeds and drive carefully.

=====In WipEout HD=====
In [[wipeout_series:WipEout HD|WipEout HD]]'s take on the **Zone** mode, the player uses the dedicated [[#Zone ship]] on any circuit available in the game to reach the highest [[#Score]]. The circuits have unique [[#Visuals]]. The formal [[#Speed Classes|Speed Class]] increases every few zones, though the actual speed of the craft isn't dictated by it - instead, the speed increases independently, with the classes representing ranges of speed.

====Score====
**Zone** results are measured in **Score** points. They are awarded constantly for the duration of the session, and bonus points will be awarded for:\\
- Clearing a zone;\\
- Not hitting any walls or going out-of-bounds for an entire zone;\\
- Not hitting any walls or going out-of-bounds for an entire lap;\\
- Performing a **Barrel Roll**;\\
- Going over a **Speed Pad**.

====Speed Classes====
TBD

====Visuals====
**WipEout HD** introduces unique visuals to **Zone** mode. 

Each track has a "digital" version that the **Zone** events take place in.

When the **Speed Class** increases, a wave of light sweeps along the length of the track, originating from the player's ship, and changing the color scheme of the visuals. On billboards and the surface of the track, there are also animated equalizer effects that react to the music that's playing (this also works with custom MP3 songs, if any were added by the player.)
