The black hole is an eerie area in zone 42 which is completely dark and will automatically take the player to the game over screen. Wynn falls downwards as the message "BLACK HOLE!" is displayed in the background. There are no footholds, and it is impossible to escape unless the player entered the zone selection secret command beforehand. If the player has gained infinite lives using a cheat, they can never reach the game over screen, and can never escape from the black hole zone. Another black hole entrance may appear in zone 29 depending on the player's warp route, probably due to a programming bug.
