Speed Highway is the fourth stage in the console and PC versions of Sonic Generations, and the first stage representing the "Dreamcast Era". It is an adaptation of Speed Highway from Sonic Adventure.

Story

After classic Sonic defeats the Death Egg Robot, both Classic and Modern Tails start to piece together the time-based shenanigans that must have brought them to this point. Another roaring flyby courtesy of Time Eater sends the Sonics racing after him towards the latest revealed cluster of bleached buildings: Speed Highway.

Cream the Rabbit and Cheese the Chao are frozen outside this stage. After they're rescued, the Sonics proceed on to City Escape.

Overview

Classic and Modern Sonic are sent back to the nocturnal highways of Station Square, and like the original stage this level is very speed oriented. While Modern Sonic runs along buildings and suspended roads like the original stage, Classic Sonic runs through and between the buildings, speeding up escalators and smashing up a whole bunch of rather expensive hotel property. Both Sonics must grab onto helicopters and rockets to help hop from one building to the next.

Enemies

The Generations Speed Highway has only two Badnik enemies, both of which appeared in the original level:

• Cop Speeder — Police hovercars driven by Baby Kiki monkey-bots, these tenacious vehicles give chase when Sonic is hopping around on top of buildings.
• Spinner - Half helicopter, half bat, half robot, Spinner models whirr around in the air serving mostly as Homing Attack fodder rather than any specific threat.
• Electro Spinner - An electrified version of Spinner, the Electro Spinner guards with its electric shield, so care must be taken when attacking.
