Story
The Sonics make their way to Sky Sanctuary directly after unfreezing Amy Rose at Chemical Plant. Knuckles the Echidna is unfrozen after completing Acts 1 and 2 of this stage, and remarks that "it's good to have my sanctuary back".
Overview
Sky Sanctuary in Sonic Generations has the bouncy clouds and Warp Points like the original, as well as new elements such as shadowy indoor sections and indigo Missile Eggrobos. The rotating platforms from the original have been given a Dragon Road-style twist with missing sections, and the antigravity top from Marble Garden Zone has been imported to this later stage of Sonic 3 & Knuckles. This level is very platforming-heavy, even in Act 2, and has a good deal of bottomless pits than most of the other stages in Generations. During the stage, as in 1994, the Death Egg can be seen raising into the sky in the background.
Act 1 begins in a similar way to the original stage, passing through the outer parts of the sanctuary with dazzling views and anti-gravitational tops, also ending in a similar way to the original stage: the towers crumbling as the Death Egg rises. Act 2 explores beyond the exterior of these floating ruins by going within the interior, which has similarities with Hidden Palace Zone. Such areas are full of obstacles that require more precise platforming. Just like in Act 1, the towers collapse at the end.
There are grapevines at Sky Sanctuary's gate in White Space, a reference to the Western manuals for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 which state that grapes are Knuckles' favorite food.[1]
Enemies
- Eggrobo - Jetpack-wearing, laser-rifle-toting, mechanical Eggmen. The traditional Eggrobos are joined in this level by a rocket-spewing variant, the Missile Eggrobo.
