Hill Country 1 is a stage in Stick Ranger. It is found on the right branch of Grassland 1. This stage boasts mid-air terrain, but contains the same enemy species spotted at Opening Street. This stage is particularly hard to conquer, given that it is unlocked after merely completing Grassland 1. The Hill Country series can be thought of as a shortcut to the Castle Gate, whilst avoiding a good portion of the winding Grassland series, but is much tougher due to few item drops in the area.
