Sonic Generations is a main series title in the Sonic franchise, released in 2011 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, the PC (via Steam), and the Nintendo 3DS to commemorate Sonic's 20th anniversary. The HD version, subtitled "White Time-Space" in Japanese, is the main version of the game, while the 3DS version, subtitled "Blue Adventure" in Japanese, is a Reformulated Game with some aspects unique to it.The story is that Modern Sonic and his friends are celebrating his birthday when the "Time Eater", a mysterious new enemy, crashes the party and sends them back to the past, where Sonic meets his younger self, Classic Sonic. They both discover that the world is losing its color, their friends have been petrified, and disruptions in the timeline have caused places from their past to be frozen in time. Both Modern and Classic must team up to stop this mysterious enemy, rescue their friends, restore color to the world, and fix the timeline. Along the way, they fight familiar foes, including their rivals Metal Sonic, Shadow, and Silver.Classic Sonic's gameplay takes heavily from the Sega Genesis installments of the series: 2½D gameplay with a focus on momentum-based platforming and maintaining a top speed by taking the optimal route through the stages. Modern Sonic, meanwhile, varies depending on the version: the HD version plays like Sonic Unleashed's daytime stages and the Wii version of Sonic Colors, with Sonic boosting through stages that switch between 3D and side-scrolling segments, while the 3DS version is entirely side-scrolling, more akin to Sonic Rush.Both HD console versions and the 3DS version support stereoscopic 3D. The HD version requires a 3D-compatible monitor to play in 3D, while the 3DS version natively outputs in autostereoscopic 3D, though it's optional in both cases.The two Sonics' journey takes them through three eras: Classic, Dreamcast, and Modern. The HD and 3DS versions have different levels and bosses: the only shared aspects are the famous Green Hill Zone from Sonic 1, the rival battles, and the Final Boss.The stages and bosses are: | |

Not only were the writers of the game's script not Sonic fans themselves, they didn't even know much about the franchise in general. They made up for it by researching the lore of the franchise, and it shows considerably (due to the sheer amount of Continuity Porn added throughout the game). | |

Playing with Fire: The Red Burst Wisps return in Tropical Resort in the 3DS version. Holding the jump button will store power, then releasing it unleashes a fiery explosion that destroys every enemy on-screen. The Fire Shield power-up from Sonic 3 finally makes a return. It still allows Sonic to perform a fire tackle. Iblis' minions return in Crisis City. Much like in the original game, they are lava monsters that breathe fire to attack. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Both hedgehogs look at their totals during their Act Clear endings, as well as the "Mission Cleared" text in the 3DS version's mission completion screens. Both Sonics can also jump onto the titles of each level; in fact, doing so is how you get to the fight with Shadow. | |

Coloring in the World: The White Space manifests via the Time Eater disrupting the timeline and having both Classic and Modern Sonic interact. The White Space is so named because all the entrances to the level hubs are colored completely white and look lifeless, at least until the Sonics complete the levels and restore color. | |

Ambiguous Situation: While in the HD version, it is made clear that Shadow and Silver were pulled from the present (or in Silver's case long after he met Sonic), the 3DS version never clearly shows if this is the Shadow and Silver Sonic knows now or were pulled from the times they fought Sonic. Unlike the console versions, they are not seen supporting the Sonics during the final battle. | |

Lampshade Hanging: Crabmeats do a little happy dance and fall laughing when they hurt Sonic. Modern & Classic Tails have a conversation about where Sonic actually puts all of those rings, with Modern Tails mentioning that he keeps forgetting to ask. One of the tutorial images has Omochao rambling on next to an annoyed Sonic. Right before the final battle, Classic Tails refers to Classic Eggman as Dr. Robotnik. Classic Eggman replies in a matter-of-fact way that nobody calls him that anymore. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Super Sonic loses rings at a faster rate than usual. The modern version can now fly through levels in a manner similar to the Chaos Control ability in Shadow the Hedgehog. Unfortunately, doing so drains rings ridiculously fast, limiting its usefulness. Classic Super Sonic is also not that much faster (if any faster at all) than Modern Sonic. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: In the PC version, it is literally impossible to play the game with most non-Xbox 360 gamepads. Due to a different input format between the 360 controller and other PC controllers, the game will interpret a non-360 controller as having random buttons fired at intervals, making Modern Sonic randomly quick-step left and right and cutscenes skip themselves (the game thinks that the player has pressed Start repeatedly when they haven't). The quick-stepping bug actually renders Seaside Hill Act 2 Unwinnable with a non-360 gamepad unless you hammer the boost button and get lucky. The PC version has a couple of consistently-crash-causing spots. The most notable is Rouge the Bat's challenge for Modern Sonic in Seaside Hill, which has a very high chance to crash to desktop at any point during the stage. Trying to access the online "Challenge Mode" can be an exercise in frustration, as something about the game's communication with the leaderboard data servers (which takes place every time the menu cursor is moved) causes it to almost always dump the user to the desktop with an error message when it tries to load record data. | |

Attack of the Town Festival | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_33d0b177 | comment |
Since the HD version of Generations runs on the same engine as Unleashed, this game's version of Rooftop Run is made more distinct from the original by giving it an Attack of the Town Festival vibe, with festive banners and balloons interspersed by attacks from a Flying Battery-esque airship. Classic Sonic's route also takes some inspiration from the night version of the stage, particularly adding a segment within a wine cellar, despite otherwise taking place during the day. | |

Super Drowning Skills | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_34bd7be2 | comment |
Super Drowning Skills: Oddly, Modern Sonic zig-zags this, depending on the viewpoint. When transitioning to a 2D section with liquid, he works exactly how he handles in Colors (minus infinite jumping). However, in full 3D segments, he drowns instantly if he falls into any liquid. In the 3DS version, the water sections in Emerald Coast are deadly, yet the ones in Water Palace can be safely traversed. | |

Rule of Cool: Three of the four bosses in the HD version make sense story-wise as to why they're there. The fourth? Perfect Chaos, who is presented as a Giant Space Flea from Nowhere without any connection to the main plot. Pretty much the only reason it's in the game is for the sheer awesome of the boss fight. | |

Ascended Meme: A subtle one: Shadow has that DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald as a reward for his rival fight in the HD version (his rival fight just unlocks the boss in the 3DS version, as Chaos Emeralds are gained through Special Stages in it). The description for the HD version's "Look Both Ways" achievement counts as well: "Reach the goal in CRISIS CITY Act 2 without being hit by tornado-carried cars or rocks." | |

Musical Nod | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_3e24cb38 | comment |
Musical Nod: Classic "Escape from the City" has a brief remix of Endless Mine, from Sonic 3 and the melody of the City Escape trial version. Modern's version of "Escape from the City" uses pieces of the theme for the Snowboard Race multiplayer level and "It Doesn't Matter" from Sonic Adventure 2. An entire section of Modern Seaside Hill is practically devoted to remastering Ocean Palace, mashing up two themes of two roughly the same stages from Heroes. On that note, Classic Seaside Hill greatly resembles the Nintendo DS version of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing's Seaside Hill. A remix of "Door into Summer" from Knuckles Chaotix is the theme for the Collection Room. The song that plays for Classic Sonic's Ring Time power-up is a remix of the special stage theme from Knuckles Chaotix. Modern Sky Sanctuary lifts its extended bits directly from the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games rearrangement of Sky Sanctuary. The cover of "Super Sonic Racing" samples this Sega Saturn promo; more precisely, the lines "I have arranged for you to meet my... companion," "Introducing Sega Saturn!" and "We are five years away from entering the 21st century... but are you ready for the future?" Sega pulled us a rather tricky one with this one: Super Sonic's theme begins with the intro of Live and Learn, only to be followed by a remix of Sonic the Hedgehog 4's main theme. Does the theme for obtaining an S Rank sound familiar? It's a remix of a verse from Sonic's Adventure theme. | |

Game Mod: A particularly epic one by a trio of programmers from Sonic Retro, who successfully ported the day levels from Sonic Unleashed into the PC version. At the request of Arin Hanson in an episode of Game Grumps, a mod replacing Sonic's model with that of an actual hedgehog has been created. And with the creation of utilities such as CPKREDIR and SonicGMI, this game's on its way to becoming one of the most easily moddable games for the PC. There's a mod for the PC version that adds the "restoring colours as you run through the world" part of the story into the actual gameplay, removing the Gameplay and Story Segregation. | |

Long Song, Short Scene | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_4cefd8a6 | comment |
Long Song, Short Scene: The "Goin' Down!?" theme from Sonic Adventure received a full minute-long remix, but because this game's version of that sequence is heavily abridged, the in-game version is cut to only a fraction of that. The Super Sonic theme of this game is as long as the equivalent themes from other games and even loops, yet it only plays briefly in the cutscene prior to the final boss (and not when either Sonic transform outside of said boss fight). It, incidentally, is a remix of Sonic the Hedgehog 4's theme, the only apparent nod to that game in Sonic Generations. Cash Cash's remix of the Big Arm theme is three and a half minutes long. The boss should take the average player about 30 seconds to beat. "Perfect Chaos Revival" from Sonic Adventure receives an extended remix, but only plays for about twenty seconds tops during the actual boss battle. | |

Suddenly Always Knew That: Many special character-based missions feature the character demonstrating heretofore unseen abilities. Blaze's character missions in Crisis City and Planet Wisp features Blaze outright flying like a bird seemingly without the aid of the Sol Emeralds or her Pyrokinesis. At no point was it ever hinted that she possesses such an ability. Amy Rose has historically had several Spin Attacks and in Sonic Heroes could draw out her airtime by using the Hammer Helicopter technique after jumping. In Generations, however, Amy is now so proficient with spinning her hammer that she can now hover and fly anywhere and at will. Rouge, who has always been a Shameless Fanservice Girl, newly demonstrates the ability to actively seduce any robot she sets her eyes on. | |

Nostalgia Level | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_56b5a6b7 | comment |
Nostalgia Level: Every level in the game is derived from old Sonic games, though the level design is mostly new. It works both ways; Modern Sonic plays through classic stages with the new style of gameplay, and Classic Sonic plays through newer stages with nostalgic gameplay. In the 3DS version, Classic Sonic's first three and last two zones are copied directly from the original games' first acts (aside from a new segment on Tropical Resort involving him riding fireworks), instead of the wholly unique layouts seen in other zones. Mushroom Hill in particular has a checkpoint right before the goalpost, since the miniboss was removed but the layout wasn't changed. | |

In the HD Shadow and Silver rival fights, the stages is dotted with destroyable debris and, in Shadow's stage, trick ramps so that you can still recharge your boost meter even after exhausting the stock of rings in the stage. | |

| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_6108858f | comment |
Classic Sonic looks exactly like the original Sonic design from the Genesis games, starting with the coloring details (black irises and flesh-colored eyelids), all the way to the animations and sound — even the Cheeky Mouth looks identical. He’s closer to his smaller and cuter Japanese design, as opposed to his attitude-infused Western design used on the box-art for the US versions of the original Sega Genesis trilogy (which Sonic Team admittedly hated). | |

But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Modern Sonic remarks to Tails that the Time Eater's handiwork is nothing special, considering the genies in magic books and interstellar amusement parks they've dealt with in the past.

Dub-Induced Plot Hole: Inverted: in The Stinger, the two Eggmen are seen arguing over the fact they haven't found the door one of them claimed to have found. The English version, which was written first, ends on a silent scene that shows Modern Eggman pointing angrily at Classic Eggman while the latter's throwing a fit. The Japanese version extended the dialogue to fill that silence, thus explaining why they're making those gestures. | |

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Temporary platforms are associated with the color red. In the 3DS version, rather than speech bubbles give the name Classic Sonic/Modern Sonic, as well as other characters, they will simply use their names (e.g. Sonic, Tails) and the speech bubbles will be yellow for the Classic characters and blue for the Modern characters. Gamers paying attention to this will realize that the first time they're fighting Dr. Eggman, it is the Classic one, a fact that is only hinted at in the HD version.. | |

Classic Sonic's gameplay focus remains strictly on a 2D plane in a 3D environment (and occasional 3D set pieces), while Modern Sonic's gameplay uses the same formula used for Sonic Colors and Sonic Unleashed's Daytime stages. The 3DS version is entirely in 2.5D, but with the Sonic Rush feel for Modern and a platforming-focused feel of the Genesis games for Classic. | |

Video Game Perversity Prevention: The skill set names can only use two preset words instead of allowing for player input, and while the "&" that's always added to them seems completely unneeded, it does prevent any potential innuendos the players could use the available words for. If you tried naming your skill set "Love Maker", you'd get "Love & Maker" instead. The character bios in the trophy room specifically do not allow you to rotate them more than waist-height, preventing you from using it to look up Amy and Cream's skirts. | |

Unwinnable | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_858dc9aa | comment |
In the PC version, it is literally impossible to play the game with most non-Xbox 360 gamepads. Due to a different input format between the 360 controller and other PC controllers, the game will interpret a non-360 controller as having random buttons fired at intervals, making Modern Sonic randomly quick-step left and right and cutscenes skip themselves (the game thinks that the player has pressed Start repeatedly when they haven't). The quick-stepping bug actually renders Seaside Hill Act 2 Unwinnable with a non-360 gamepad unless you hammer the boost button and get lucky. | |

Loads and Loads of Loading: The PS3 version. Load times average 20 seconds both entering and exiting stages and missions, including the momentary pause for the game to auto-save to the hard drive after every level. Especially noticeable as most of the challenge stages are extremely short. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: If you're used to the Homing Attack on the HD versions of Sonic Unleashed* where it was shared with the 'Boost' button (X on 360 and Square on PS3), you may have to readjust yourself to the standard Homing Attack controls used in all the other Sonic games for Generations HD* Pressing the 'Jump' button (A on 360, X on PS3) in mid-air to perform it. There's also the issue of trying to do a Homing Attack as Classic Sonic and trying to do a Spin Dash as Modern Sonic. Anyone who was used to playing Colors on the Wii's Classic Controller may have difficulty pressing the slide/stomp button without instinctively reaching for the Y/Triangle button. The double-jump in Colors isn't present in Generations (double-tapping the jump button as Modern Sonic does the forward-air-dash move), which can seriously screw the player up when they accidentally try to double-jump up to a higher platform. invokedStealth Attack. Complete the level without defeating enemies. Good luck keeping yourself from using the homing attack. | |

Dead Character Walking: There is an infamous glitch which crept from the infamous Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) to the otherwise excellent Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations which makes Sonic, if he receives mortal damage while on a autoscrolling sequence, still slide with his dead body on the track. He can even be controlled sometimes with the directional pad! | |

Difficult, but Awesome: One unlockable skill for Modern Sonic, Endless Boost, provides you with a Boost Gauge that never runs out, but also turns Sonic into a One-Hit-Point Wonder, unable to collect any rings. While it's supposed to be a Take That! at the notion that Modern Sonic gameplay is simply "boost to win", this ability allows the player to do some major Sequence Breaking in Seaside Hill, and rewards speedrunners who have managed to learn how to use the Boost to swiftly get through stages without being harmed. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Modern Sonic proves how much he has grown across the years by defeating Perfect Chaos without the need of transforming into Super Sonic. Rooftop Run highlights the fact that Clasic Sonic will become much more badass in the future. The final hurdle for Classic Sonic is climbing a very tall clock tower, fighting off lots of badniks and performing tricky jumps along the way. When Modern Sonic has to perform the same task, he just runs straight up it in a matter of seconds. Silver's psychic powers are shown to be considerably more powerful in this game than they've ever been shown to be before, allowing him to condense a massive amount of debris into a massive sphere that he hurls at Sonic. He's also much faster, easily able to keep up with a boosting Sonic. In the span of a single game, Eggman went from simply enslaving an alien race to power a theme park, to transforming an Eldritch Abomination into a Humongous Mecha that rips apart time and space. | |

Interface Spoiler: People looked at the Xbox 360 Avatar rewards for beating the game and speculated that Classic Eggman has a link to the Time Eater, since said Avatar parts are all patterned after Classic Eggman. They were right. In the 3DS version, provided the player has at least 5 Play Coins, they can unlock mission 100 without ever starting the Story Mode. Said mission is to beat the final boss under a rather forgiving time limit. The 3DS version tries to hide the existence of Classic Eggman by blacking him out on a certain icon on the touch screen. | |

Foreshadowing: Vector tells Classic Sonic he has a hunch that the Time Eater is actually being controlled by someone. He is proven to be correct later, when both versions of Eggman are revealed to have the monster under their control. Compared to Classic Eggman's begging for help when he's captured after the Death Egg fight, Modern Eggman has no objections when the Time Eater grabs him after the Egg Dragoon battle and it takes place in a fraction of the time as the first. With the revelation that the Time Eater is controlled by the two Eggmen, one can see that the first fight was deliberately thrown and that the second was actually a rescue. | |

Evil Is Not a Toy: Subverted for once. Pretty much every 3D Sonic game before and since this one has had Dr. Eggman attempt to use or control another being to further his goal of taking over the world, only to inevitably get betrayed near the end. In this game, Eggman harnesses the power of the Time Eater and takes control of it for his own use... and is completely successful, never getting betrayed by the creature at any point. | |

One-Hit Kill: Sonic can run over the water by boosting. In Seaside Hill Act 2, there is a giant chopper that attacks if you spend too long outside of certain areas. If it attacks, you lose a life, no matter what. Rings? Won't help you? Going as fast as you can? Won't help you. Even Super Sonic can't survive a contact with it! The meteorites that fall near the end of Tropical Resort Act 2 kill Sonic in one hit regardless of his rings. At least they're telegraphed. | |

They return back to their respective worlds the next time we see them though. | |

Final Boss: Hedgehog rivals aside, the boss fights are all final/true final boss fights from other Sonic games; the Time Eater is the actual final boss for this game. The only exception to this is the Egg Dragoon (which was only the penultimate boss in Sonic Unleashed, although it did serve as the Werehog's Final Boss); it should also be noted that Shadow served as the final boss of Sonic Adventure 2's Hero Side story and Egg Emperor was the final boss in each story of Sonic Heroes before the final story is unlocked. | |

Variable Mix: The BGM in Modern Sonic's Green Hill and Sky Sanctuary stages have a percussion track that changes tempo depending on how fast Sonic is moving. Also, the high-pass filter effect when boosting carries over from Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors. The speed shoes return in Classic Sonic's stages, so naturally the tempo picks up while using them. The Death Egg Robot has two additional drum tracks as the fight progresses. The Time Eater's theme seamlessly changes styles according to which Super Sonic is in control; from an orchestral style for Modern Super Sonic to an electronic style for Classic Super Sonic.

| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: Even more of this occurs with Crisis City, as when Blaze is rescued, her first speech balloon post-cutscene has her state that Crisis City was her fault. Given the ending of Sonic 06, the fact that Crisis City exists at all when a time travel incident erased the events of the game from existence by removing Iblis from the timestream long before the game takes place counts to an extent. The implication seems to be that Crisis City was taken from another timeline, which would also explain the presence of Stardust Speedway's Bad Future. After beating the Biolizard in the 3DS version, Sonic claims that he's beaten it before, although it was actually Shadow who fought it last time in Sonic Adventure 2 (Sonic may have been referring to its subsequent form as "The Finalhazard", but he was explaining why he found the fight so easy, so that wouldn't have made a great deal of sense in context). | |

Demoted to Extra: While the regulars of Sonic's ensemble cast makes an appearance in the game, they have next to no impact on the story—by and large only the two Sonics and Tailses get Character Focus. The ensemble cast get a brief cutscene for being rescued, a couple of dedicated challenge missions, the ability to dispense advice about the game, and the opportunity to cheer Sonic on during the final boss. A little egregiously, Sonic doesn't even talk to anyone aside from Classic Sonic or Tails. They are even further demoted in the 3DS version, where Sonic and Tails are kidnapped before the party even starts. Sonic's friends will only appear in a cameo after the credits, with a screenshot of the party. | |

While the regulars of Sonic's ensemble cast makes an appearance in the game, they have next to no impact on the story—by and large only the two Sonics and Tailses get Character Focus. The ensemble cast get a brief cutscene for being rescued, a couple of dedicated challenge missions, the ability to dispense advice about the game, and the opportunity to cheer Sonic on during the final boss. A little egregiously, Sonic doesn't even talk to anyone aside from Classic Sonic or Tails. | |

Bonus Feature Failure | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_c2f149ae | comment |
Bonus Feature Failure: The ability to name your skill sets in the HD version for easy identification is a good idea in theory. But here, you cannot use the PS3 or XBox360's keyboard feature and must instead choose two terms from a long, unalphabetized list. That in itself would not be unbearable, but after choosing two terms, they are automatically separated by an ampersand, unless the first term is "Skill Set" and/or the second term is a letter (the default naming scheme). Nearly every catchy title you can think of for your Skill Sets will be blemished by that obtrusive "&". Even PC gamers are stuck with this. | |

Musical Spoiler: The identity of each boss is hidden until you fight them. However, standing in front of the boss gate will play a remix of the boss's respective battle music, giving away the boss's identity to any Sonic fan familiar with the games' soundtracks. This is downplayed by the third boss: Egg Dragoon's "preview track" is "E.G.G.M.A.N.", which indicates that it's Eggman but not any particular form of his. | |

Shout-Out: City Escape has new billboards that include a mock iPhone. The first part of Modern Sonic's S Rank pose is based on Usain Bolt's "To Di World" pose◊. One of Planet Wisp's challenging acts features all three elemental shields. The mission itself is called "With Your Powers Combined". The hardest achievement is called "Can't Touch This". In the 3DS version, some missions will require you to get through an entire stage without losing a single life. All missions of this type are titled "Die Hard". In Speed Highway, one of the billboards advertises a movie called Chao In Space: The Search for Tikal. | |

| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_d639cf57 | comment |
Reformulated Game: The 3DS version is different from the mainline console/PC version. While Classic Sonic's stages are structured like the Genesis games, Modern Sonic's stages take after the Sonic Rush titles, being locked in 2.5D perspective unlike the 3D stages. Not only that, but the selection of stages from past games are also different. Sonic's friends are also absent from the 3DS version, due to Sonic arriving at the party before it began and nobody but Tails was present since he was still setting up, followed by the Time Eater's attack. A lot of the cutscenes have also been changed, despite most of it staying the same, such as Classic Sonic learning and being able to use the Homing Attack in the 3DS, and at the end, how to Boost. | |

Continuity Cameo | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_de70f5a4 | comment |
Continuity Cameo: City Escape in the HD version is packed to the brim with them. The names of some modern characters appear on a Chao in Space 2 ad. Some older faces, like Bark, Bean, and Fang, appear on wanted posters. Even Mighty and Ray can be spotted (on "Missing since 1993" posters, no less). Orbot and Cubot appear in Eggman's flashback to The Stinger of Sonic Colors, which also explains why they are otherwise absent from Generations. Big, Omega, Princess Elise, Mephiles, Chip, Dark Gaia, and the Werehog appear briefly in archival screenshots in the credits. Omega gets another cameo in Speed Highway, as one of the roads is 123 Omega Road. 123 is his number in the "E" Series. Look carefully at the beginning of both stages of Planet Wisp and you'll see some White Wisps. There's even one in Classic Planet Wisp who dances exactly like Yacker does in the Loading Screens of Colors! Statues of Jet and all three types of Chao can be unlocked in the Statue Room. | |

Bad Future | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_deb39de3 | comment |
Given the ending of Sonic 06, the fact that Crisis City exists at all when a time travel incident erased the events of the game from existence by removing Iblis from the timestream long before the game takes place counts to an extent. The implication seems to be that Crisis City was taken from another timeline, which would also explain the presence of Stardust Speedway's Bad Future. | |

Call-Forward | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_e3c36782 | comment |
Call-Forward: Classic Sonic has several Skills that reference the abilities and shields he can use past the original game. One of his last Skills is the Homing Attack, a move that Modern Sonic can already use naturally. In the 3DS version, Classic Sonic learns the Homing Attack (from himself) earlier, at the start of the Modern Era. At the end of the game, he instead learns how to use Modern Sonic's Sonic Boost, although the ability is unusable as a Skill. Tails doesn't recognize Green Hill Zone, since he hadn't been introduced into the series yet. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: Perfect Chaos has undergone a considerable redesign, looking much different than his original form. Compare his Sonic Adventure design◊ to the Sonic Generations design.◊ Apparently, this was how he was originally intended to look; however, due to technological limitations, they were unable to do it, resulting in the Chaos from Sonic Adventure. (The version seen in Sonic Generations does resemble the Perfect Chaos seen in the intro cinematic for Sonic Adventure and its DX counterparts.) Classic Metal Sonic seems to have undergone a minor one by contrast, since his proportions and height are slightly different than his original sprites or artwork for the classic games (specifically, he's much rounder and shorter). This was probably done just to keep him proportionally identical to Classic Sonic, and better distinguish him from Modern Metal Sonic. | |

Nerf | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_e545e190 | comment |
Nerf: In the console and PC version, the Sonic Boost's ring-attracting effect has been greatly reduced from Unleashed and Colors. It's now impossible to sustain an Air Boost (Sonic will simply act as if you quickly tapped the Boost button), so it's nothing more than a more powerful Air Dash that retains momentum. The 3DS version averts this and the ring-attraction nerf, however. Also as Super Sonic, the boost ability greatly exhausts your ring count. Compare to Sonic Colors where the player would not only maintain the more gradual ring loss, but actually earn bonus points for using the Super form in the first place. That said, the ability is far more useful in Generations due to its Chaos Control-like abilities and the more fluid stage design in general. | |

Advancing Wall of Doom: The G.U.N. Truck chases both Sonics in City Escape. Modern Sonic’s version is upgraded with giant, retractable buzz saws and jet boosters to be able to keep up with the Sonic Boost. The orca chase sequence from Emerald Coast returns in the 3DS version. Classic Sonic requires pure speed to get away from it, but Modern Sonic has to dodge its bites as well after it chases him into the air. | |

Divergent Character Evolution | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_e5d37e0f | comment |
Divergent Character Evolution: As Green Hill Zone has been brought back, Seaside Hill has understandably taken many liberties to differentiate itself from the zone it was originally supposed to be a throwback to. Most notably, it's incorporated some aspects of Ocean Palace from Heroesnote which was effectively Seaside Hill's Act 2 as well as added a water section. Planet Wisp, another level meant to hearken back to Green Hill, also more heavily leans into its Eternal Engine theming than the original game. A lot of the other zones got upgrades to their unique features and obstacles. For example, City Escape's skateboard section and park areas were lengthened and expanded, and the truck was given an upgrade, so it's now less like Speed Highway. Since the HD version of Generations runs on the same engine as Unleashed, this game's version of Rooftop Run is made more distinct from the original by giving it an Attack of the Town Festival vibe, with festive banners and balloons interspersed by attacks from a Flying Battery-esque airship. Classic Sonic's route also takes some inspiration from the night version of the stage, particularly adding a segment within a wine cellar, despite otherwise taking place during the day. | |

Flanderization: The truck in City Escape. Although in Sonic Adventure 2, the main purpose of the truck was probably to catch Sonic despite collateral damage. In Generations, it basically wants to kill and maim Sonic without any care for its surroundings (Because why on earth would a truck need three buzzsaws, rocket jets, and the ability to drive on the side of a freaking building?). | |

Mercy Mode | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_f363694e | comment |
Mercy Mode: The Nintendo 3DS version of the game's Time Attack mode and the Challenges in the other versions counts as this. Previous handheld Sonic games sent you straight to the "retry/change-zone/change-character/quit" menu after either finishing the level or dying, but in Generations this happens only after having completed the stage; dying results in either restarting the stage or respawning at the last checkpoint instead. This means you can practice sections as much as you please. However, respawning at a checkpoint doesn't set the timer to whatever time you happened to run past said checkpoint. So, if scoring a perfect time is your top priority, you have to restart the level manually. | |

Missing Trailer Scene: Before the release of the game, Sega released three CGI trailers that showed Classic and Modern Sonic running through a white Green Hill Zone, City Escape, and Rooftop Run together. While the levels were a part of the game, none of the footage from said trailers are shown in game. One of the Boss Fight trailers specifically shows Modern Sonic, Classic Sonic, Tails, and Classic Tails about to fight the Time Eater in Green Hill Zone, only for the actual confrontation to be in a completely different location. Only the first trailer, which had Modern and Classic Sonic running alongside each other, is hidden away in the game's Attract Mode (and is thus entirely missable). | |

Drives Like Crazy | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_f96f188c | comment |
Drives Like Crazy: In the classic version of City Escape, the GUN truck that chases Sonic around the city while plowing into buildings and making huge ramp leaps starts getting noticeably worn down and beaten up about halfway through the level, and during the climax it appears so damaged that it's hurdling helplessly into a bridge underpass and is totaled when it crashes. As it turns out, driving like a maniac won't do your ride any favors. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: The last segment of Modern Planet Wisp revolves around Sonic ascending a huge tower to reach the goal ring. However, if the player has a Rocket Wisp on hold, they can activate it immediately after going through the jump panel that launches Sonic towards the tower's base, thus skipping a huge section of the level. | |

Friendly Rivalry: Silver treats his Rival Battle with Sonic as a sparring session and seems to have a lot of fun whether he wins or loses. | |

Department of Redundancy Department | |

Department of Redundancy Department: In a cutscene after Chemical Plant in the HD version, Modern Sonic says that he's getting "deja vu all over again," paraphrasing a famous quote from Yogi Berra. | |

Depending on the Writer: Sonic Heroes' placement. In the console version, it is considered a Dreamcast Era game, while the 3DS version treats it as a Modern Era game. | |

| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Sonic's chilli dog is sent flying away at the beginning of the game. When Sonic returns from the White Void, he finds himself at the exact point in time that preceded his abduction, allowing him to catch his meal before it hits the ground. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| Sonic Generations (Video Game) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: Classic Sonic looks exactly like the original Sonic design from the Genesis games, starting with the coloring details (black irises and flesh-colored eyelids), all the way to the animations and sound — even the Cheeky Mouth looks identical. He’s closer to his smaller and cuter Japanese design, as opposed to his attitude-infused Western design used on the box-art for the US versions of the original Sega Genesis trilogy (which Sonic Team admittedly hated). All of the Classic Character designs featured in the game are based off of previous artworks: Classic Sonic, Classic Super Sonic◊, Classic Tails, Classic Metal Sonic, Classic Eggman. Not only were the writers of the game's script not Sonic fans themselves, they didn't even know much about the franchise in general. They made up for it by researching the lore of the franchise, and it shows considerably (due to the sheer amount of Continuity Porn added throughout the game). | |
