Story

South Island. A magnificent land; one that is not bound by such restrictions as time.

15 years have passed since Sonic the Hedgehog's first plight against the nefarious Dr. Eggman (formally known as Dr. Ivo Robotnik). Ever since, the two forces have clashed nonstop in a variety of settings, with the eventual outcome always resulting in Sonic's victory. Both sides have gained both new allies and new enemies; some helpful, others... not so much. Naturally, throughout this time, Sonic has learned a few new techniques, in which he uses to further stifle Eggman's plans of world domination. And so, the world is safe - but always just out of Eggman's grasp.

Some say history repeats itself. In this case, the statement is proven true, as Eggman returns to South Island, in hopes that he can obtain the land's powerful Chaos Emeralds, and finally put forth a solid step in conquering the planet. As he arrives on the island, he brings with him a single Chaos Emerald - one that had been missing, and had upset the natural balance of the island for decades beforehand. The others were trapped in an alternate dimension; one which only very few could enter, and even fewer returned.

Of course, Eggman isn't very good at keeping his plans secret (a big reason why they're foiled so easily). As a result, Sonic hears of this, and readies his travel back to South Island. With him, he brings two allies - one being Mighty the Armadillo, a longtime friend of his (though they had not spoken in quite some time), and the other being Shadow the Hedgehog; who, after finally getting over his angst (at least for the moment), felt like teaching Eggman a thing or two about trying the same thing twice. And besides that, he had never seen South Island before; he had heard things about it, certainly, but never saw it for himself. So, he figured, why not?

And so, the three begin their trek of South Island, each taking their own unique abilities with them, and going their seperate ways, each in search of the remaining Chaos Emeralds, and of Eggman, in hopes that once he is defeated, he will finally abandon his plans of world domination. But, then again, that's not very likely to happen.

We can all dream, I suppose.

Features

Characters and Moves

All three characters have special art (HUD, lampposts, item boxes, etc.) exclusive to that character, as well as their own end-of-act music. As Sonic, pressing A enables Light Speed Dash. As Shadow, pressing B or C twice allows for a Homing Attack, and pressing A with 6 or more rings allows a small speed boost, at the cost of 5 rings. Mighty is set to have a wall jump feature similar to that in Knuckles' Chaotix, though this has not been implemented yet (NOTE: Feature has been scrapped). All three characters have spindash.

Super Sonic is set to be in the game, though no footage of a Super Shadow or Super Mighty has been seen.

Music

Various tracks and sound effects have been imported from Sonic CD, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Knuckles' Chaotix and other Sega Mega Drive/Genesis games, in addition to remixes of Sonic 1's original tunes.

Levels

Two modes exist within the game: normal, which features new levels, and original, which has the original levels from Sonic 1 intact. Normal levels include:

  • Sunset Hill Zone
  • Dark Fortress Zone
  • City Outskirts Zone
  • Misty Maze Zone
  • Starry Night Zone
  • Metallic Base Zone
