About The Game

Despite the game giving Super Sonic a theme, (it being an instrumental remix of the Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I theme) it only plays during the final phase of the Time Eater boss fight, and a variant of it plays in the cutscene prior to the fight. A short manga for Sonic Generations was released in Japan. It is presented in a similar format as the Sonic World Adventure manga and the Sonic Colors manga.

The music in the game was remixed by Jun Senoue and Tatsuya Kozaki, with guest remixes done by Tomoya Ohtani, Kenichi Tokoi and Naofumi Hataya (who remixed the classic versions of the Mega Drive stage themes), among others. Continuing onward, the Sonics rescue Cream the Rabbit and Cheese after restoring Speed Highway, Rouge after restoring City Escape, and Espio after restoring Seaside Hill. Along the way, the two Tails' figure out that the Time Eater is tearing space apart as it moves through time, thereby ripping places from across space and time from their locations in their timelines and placing the-now lifeless and dead areas in White Space. However, by speeding through time in these areas, the Sonics are able to fix space and return life to these areas. With the universe about to fall into chaos because of the Time Eater however, the Sonics realize they have to get going like never before. Soon after, Modern Sonic claims a Chaos Emerald following a meeting and clash with Shadow onboard the Space Colony ARK. Not long after, he finds himself in a flooded Station Square where he defeats Perfect Chaos. Afterward, the Classic and Modern pairs discover that the Time Eater does not like the Chaos Emeralds, making their hunt for the gems even more important. Continuing their adventure, the Sonics pass through Crisis City, Rooftop Run and Planet Wisp, restoring these locations and rescuing Blaze, Vector and Charmy too. Meanwhile, Modern Sonic wins a Chaos Emerald from Silver after defeating him in a fight in Crisis City. He also goes on to fight Modern Eggman and his Egg Dragoon in Eggmanland. After defeating Modern Eggman however, the doctor is taken away by the Time Eater, confusing the heroes. We haven’t been exactly vague about which Sonic games tend to be the worst. Once games went 3D, Sonic just couldn’t keep up, and they even lost what made his old 2D games great in the process. That was, with a few exceptions, true until Sonic Generations came out. This was one of the first times a Sonic game split itself between classic levels, only now presented in 2.5D, and the new 3D style. Old Sonic would take the lead in classic levels, utilizing his old moveset, while modern Sonic kept pushing spectacle via high speed and dynamic set pieces with a third-person camera perspective.
