"There are billions and billions of ways to get the intergalactic shaft here. GEXIE needs air!" -Manual excerpt.
Rocket Channel is the sci-fi themed world of Gex: Enter The Gecko. It is an outer space level that spoofs Star Wars and Star Trek. In this level Gex only has a limited amount of air to breathe and must continually refill his air meter, either by finding air refuelling booths, breaking air containers or defeating certain enemies.

Trivia[]
- In the N64 version, when you run out of air, you can activate the menu to escape the level and avoid losing a life.
- This is the only channel which is absent from Gameboy Color version of the game. However, unused text strings showing "ROCKET CHANNEL" can be found through hacking the game.
- Interestingly, in the PC version of the game, Aztec 2 Step shares same theme as the Rocket Channel levels, The Umpire Strikes Out and Pain in the Asteroids.
- Additionally, The Umpire Strikes Out music is completely absent from PC port of the game. However, Nintendo 64 version completely omitted the Pain in the Asteroids music from the game.
