In '''Sonic Time Twisted''', the player controls just as Sonic and co. play in the Genesis titles. Like in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD]]'', the player must use time poles (now adjusted to be instant) to travel through two different time zones, Past and Future. In the Past, Sonic must find the [[Special Stages]] and collect the [[Time Stones]], while in the Future, Sonic must also find the Special Stages, however, these have the [[Chaos Emeralds]]. Beat all 14 Special Stages in each time zone (7 each) and the player will achieve the True Ending. Besides that, the player must traverse through 8 zones, most with 2 acts each, reach the Goal Post at the end, as well as encounter a boss at the end of the stage be it Metal Sonic or one of many loyal Super Badniks.
