Central City is the capital city of the United Federation in Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Battle and Shadow the Hedgehog.

Appearances

Sonic Adventure 2

The city in Sonic Adventure 2 is unnamed, but said by many to be San Francisco or Station Square. It says in the first Hero cutscene "Above the capital city", but in Shadow the Hedgehog, in Central City, GUN soldiers say that they've cornered the Black Arms in the capital, so it's arguable that this is Central City. It has five Action Stages: City Escape, Radical Highway, Mission Street, Route 280 and Route 101. Interestingly, there is a forest under City Escape, so one can presume that Central City is a city in the sky. This is probably an Easter Egg however. There's a glitch where you can see the forest up close. To do it, play as Sonic the Hedgehog, and make sure you've beaten Metal Harbour, which means you have the Light Shoes. Go to the area with Big the Cat where Sonic is chased by the GUN truck, and use the Light Dash at the left row of rings at one area (which looks like your right). If done correctly, Sonic falls through the road, and you get to see below the truck. Eventually, Sonic screams and the camera zooms out as he falls into the forest below.

Sonic Battle

Central City appears as an overworld in Sonic Battle. In it, Amy Rose and Cream the Rabbit live in an apartment. Miles Prower goes to Central City to find out about Emerl.

Shadow the Hedgehog

Central City makes its final appearance in Shadow the Hedgehog. The first city is Westopolis, but if Shadow helps Eggman light five lanterns in Cryptic Castle, Shadow goes to Central City, which appears as Westopolis with a slight makeover. In it, GUN tries to fight off the invading Black Arms. The Hero Mission is to help Knuckles the Echidna capture twenty bombs, and the Dark Mission is to help Black Doom detonate five giant bombs. It is destroyed by the Eclipse Cannon after clearing the Dark Mission of The ARK. Whether Central City is destroyed or not is up to the player. In Expert Mode, Espio the Chameleon challenges Shadow to destroy the ruins of Central City, but one of the bombs has been moved to a construction site.
