Plot (Note: The Plot has been vandalized, please ignore it)
Millions of years ago, an ancient evil race, known as the Klu Klux Klan, settled in Satan Island, founding one of the most poor and lazy civilizations at that time. The KLu Klux Klan proved to be worthy scientists, mastering technology and creating one of the most intreguing and perplexing machineries in the planet. Eventually, they invented an ancient evil technology called the Salamander technology, which has yet to be decoded and understood by modern furries. This technology acted as a key, for it could unlock one of the most powerful and destructive war-machines in the history of mankind, along with an army of destructive, mechanical soldiers. This war-machine was built by the Killer Klowns from Outer Space, a group of evil that came from Bingbong, in order to win the war against the Nostradomus Tribe years ago. Eventually, the machines went out of

business, causing mass destruction and evil. When the the war was over, and the Klu Klux Klan had won, the Government decided that the war-machine and the army of soldiers be hidden in a place where no one could look for, no one could find in order to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands and cause any more distortion to the world. In Hitler's secret 3 chambered underground maze, the Alpha Zones. As for the Salamander technology, which proved very dangerous, it was dismantled into 9 pieces and handed out to every colony in the surface of the Earth, one for the humans, one of the furries, one for an ancient evil spirit and so on, so it could never be found again, hidden and forgotten from the world. Should the pieces resurface, it would be done by a modern-day organization, called the Destruction Initialization Council of the Killer Scientists. This organization,( originally started by Stalin in the 2400's) continues to peruse it's goals of reforming the weapon.
In the present day, the evil and mischievous scientist Dr. Walrus has learnt about this ancient technology and is in search of these 10 artifacts in order to uncover their secret and get his hands on and awaken the ancient evil war-machine and the army of mechanical warriors to conquer the world. However, Sanic and his party has figured out the doctor's intentions and set out on an adventure to find the artifacts first and save the world from destruction.
At the same time, havoc has surrounded Capcom City over the kidnapping of the Rockman, possibly attributed to a mysterious, hooded figure who goes by the name the "Magic Mike".
The four villains of the game; from left to right: Dr. Eggman, Dr. Finitevus, Dr. Magic, Dimitri
Meanwhile, a new threat has appeared to the Sanic Universe: an evil scientist known as Dr. Housebaots, along with a mysterious floating head named Dimitri Martin. What has brought them here? What are they searching for and what are their intentions? Join MIKE HAGGAR and his new ally on an embarking adventure to uncover his anscestor's mysterious past and and awaken the ancient evil.
Sonic's story features Sanic, Tails, Amy and the Egg Pawn as playable characters and revolves mostly around Sanic's and Tails' quest to retreive the ancient artifacts in order to save the world from Dr. Robotnik's world domination scheme.
In addition to Knuckles, Julie-Sue and Big the Cat are playable in his story. Knuckles' storyline is about Knuckles trying to recover the Sacred Treasures of the Brotherhood of Guardians and unlock the secret of his anscestors. His story features Dr. Finitevus and Dimitri as the main heroes.
Overview
Gameplay is devided into 6 different points of view of storyline, where the player has the option advancing in either of these storylines at any time. "Sonic's Storyline" features Sonic, Tails, Amy and the Egg Pawn as playable characters. "Knuckles' Storyline" features Knuckles, Julie-Su and Big as playable characters. "Shadow's Storyline" features Shadow, Rouge, Omega and the G.U.N. Soldier as playable characters. "Silver's Storyline" features Silver, Blaze and Cream as playable characters. "Chaotix's Storyline" features Espio, Vector, Charmy and Mighty as playable characters and "Eggman's Storyline" features Metal Sonic, Fang and Gamma as playable characters, bringing the roster to 21 playable characters. Each character has his/her own style of gameplay, which is explained below on each character's notes, allowing them to get to different areas within the Action Stages. They contain many different pathways to take. There are also stages called the Mach Speed levels, where players, controling only Speed-Type characters, can play levels with the same gameplay style as in Sonic Generations. There are only 7. By completing them, the player is

awarded with a Chaos Emerald which all 7 unlock the Final Story.
As in Sonic Adventure, gameplay is devided into two stages: Action Stages and Adventure Fields. Action Stages are the basic levels of the game and are different to most characters. They are located within Adventure Fields and have 1 or 2 Acts. During gameplay, at some points, the player may be interrupted and be forced to continue with another character for a short period of time, much like in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). Adventure Fields, on the other hand, are vast, sandbox areas where the player may explore and solve puzzles. They contain various items such as emblems and power-ups, but also enemies, citizens and other items which advance the storyline of the game.
The game features various Modes and Missions, including the upgraded Chao Garden. Missions are very similar to the ones in Sonic Adventure, while each stage also features 5 missions. Emblems are also present in the game. They can be acquired by completing missions, stages, achievements or by finding them in Adventure Fields.
Characters & Gameplay
NOTE: All Characters can grind rails. However, Sonic, Shadow, Espio, and Metal Sonic can Boost on rails, much like Unleashed and Colors, while others have to do a 180 flipping trick, much like Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog.
Sonic is the main protagonist of the game, along with Knuckles and Shadow. His gameplay remains largely unchanged from the classic Adventure style. The player's primary target is to reach the Goal Ring, located at the end of the stage. Therefore, Sonic's Action Stages are practically the same as in Sonic Adventure. Players can collect power-ups such as rings, speed-boots, destroy monitors and enemies etc. Usually, Sonic's level last between 7 to 10 minutes. If Tails or another character from his story is playable in that level, the player takes briefly control of that player until a certain point and then continues with Sonic. Sonic's moveset is the following:
Sonic's Moveset
Jump/Double Jump
(twice)
Homing attack
(in air)
Spin attack/Boost
Spin dash/Light dash
Light Speed Attack
Tornado
(in air)
The Boost attack is also available during Mach Speed Levels, which allows Sonic to boost temporarily, same way as in Sonic Generations. It can be increased by collecting rings. The Light Speed Attack is a chargable move. Charging it fully will allow Sonic to unleash an attack of continuous homing attacks. The Tornado attack works the same way as in Sonic Heroes, where Sonic can disarm multiple enemies. In general, Sonic is a very fast character, light and an ideal character for beginners. Sonic is voiced by Ryan Drummond.
Tails is mostly played during some points in Sonic's levels or he can simply follow along. Tails has the ability to fly for a long period of time and reach areas in the levels where others cannot. His gameplay remains largely similar as it was in Sonic Adventure and Sonic 2006. Players controlling Tails will often have to find and activate switches, gates etc. Tails doesn't have many attacks, other that his Tail attack and a ring bomb, which can be used to shoot down enemies from afar. Tails' moveset is the following:
Amy's gameplay is the same as it was in Sonic Adventure, only without Zero. She has few moves and specialties. She can jump twice, like Sonic 06, plant bombs and use her Piko Piko hammer for most attacks. Her levels are very few. Amy's moveset is the following:
The Egg Pawn appears as a playable character in Sonic's Storyline. He is a rather comical character. He comes equiped with a wide arsenal of weapons, including a spear, a shield, a pistol and a sword. The Egg Pawn is a Power-Type character; as such, his levels are mostly like Knuckles' gameplay, which is basically very similar to the gameplay in Sonic Heroes and Sonic Unleashed's Warehog stages, where the players' main objective is to reach the goal of the stage while defeating as many enemies as possible using various attacks to gain points. Power-type characters have many attacks, which allow them to execute their enemies in various and fun ways. The Egg Pawn doesn't have many stages and is only played during parts of Sonic's stages. Its moveset is the following:
The Super Jump allows the Egg Pawn to make a huge leap in the air, before charging. While in the air, if the player presses either the circle or the square button, the Egg Pawn will charge downwards, delivering a powerful attack with one of its weapons, depending on which the Egg Pawn is equiped with. The Egg Pawn has various weapons. Normally, it starts out with only 3: Sword, Spear and Pistol, which can be switches by pressing the triangle button and can be activated with the square button. Players can purchase more power-ups in the Shop or acquire them in Adventure Fields. These give the Egg Pawn extra boost and power. The Egg Pawn is voiced by Wally Wingert.
Knuckles, along with Sonic, is the main character of the game, as much of the story is deeply connected with Knuckles' past. He is a little slower than Sonic, but not necessarily heavy. His gameplay is very similar to the gameplay of Werehog Sonic in Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Heroes. Knuckles' levels are platform-oriented where the player's main objective is to reach the goal of the level. His gameplay revolves around using Knuckle's unique strength and destructive ability to execute various attacks and defeat as many enemies as possible with ample and fun ways. They must
also collect rings to secure their health and collect power-ups within stages. It does, however, retain some of the treasure-hunting elements of the previous installments.
One unique feature about Knuckles' gameplay is the fact that he can acquire the Sacred Treasures of the Brotherhood of Guardians that he has collected from Adventure Fields or from completing certain levels, and utilize them while playing in levels. Players can equip them to Knuckles while in the Adventure Fields or even while playing by pressing a single button. These treasures have various kinds of powers. Most of them act as weapons and power-ups for Knuckles, others as gadgets and others as upgrades. The Sacred Treaures of the Brotherhood of Guardians play a pivotal role in Knuckles' storyline as well in the Final Story. Knuckles' moveset is the follwing:
Knuckles' Moveset
Jump/Double Jump
(twice)
Combo attack/Special attack 1#
Glide
(hold)
Dig
2 random buttons
Special attack 2#
Screwdriver
Switch equipment
/
Super jump
/ (while walking)
Massive dive
/(while Super Jump)
Knuckles retains a basic combo attack by pressing the square button. If pressed repeatedly, it can deliver multiple punches. By pressing either the R2 or L2 button, players can change Knuckles' equipment. Knuckles may have up to 2 equiped items at a time, one being executed with the circle button and the other with the square button. Pressing two random buttons at the same time will make Knuckles dig. Knuckles can glide and climb using the same methods as in previous games and can perform the massive dive and super jump (see Egg Pawn's gameplay), just as every Power-type character in the game. Finally, the Screwdriver attack is a chargable attack that can penetrate through everything and deliver a massive punch with fire. It can be upgraded. Knuckles is voiced by Dan Green.
Julie-Su appears as a newcomer, playable in Knuckles' storyline. Julie-Su appears early within Knuckles' storyline and teams up with him in an attempt to retreive the Sacred Treasures and defeat the evil Dr. Finitevus. Julie-Su's gameplay is very similar to the Ratchet & Clank series, which is a very basic platformer-style gameplay. She focuses mostly on her weapons, though she cannot acquire items like Knuckles. She also relies a lot on shooting and solving small puzzles within levels. She may also acquire power-ups within stages. Julie's moveset is the following:
Julie-Su's Moveset
Jump/Double Jump
(twice)
Punch/Plasma Beam
Plasma Wave
Plasma Wire
Plasma Coil
/
Slingshot
/ (in air)
Julie-Su will have to collect ammoes found within stages to load her Plasma Beam weapon. If the ammoes reach 0, then she can only perform a punch combo. Her attacks and weapons can be upgraded to deliver more damage. Her Plasma Beam is her most useful move, often used to destroy targets in order to proceed. Julie-Su's weapons also come with a variety of abilities, such as the plasma wave, a projectile, the plasma wire, a sort of whip for close combat and the plasma coil, a powerful bomb. She may also use her slingshot while in mid-air. Julie-Su also wears short, brown trousers in the game (see her page).
This time, Big isn't searching for Froggy, but instead, helps Knuckles and his allies on his adventure. Big's gameplay is pretty much the same as the Egg Pawn's and Knuckles' (minus the equipment), being a power-type character. He is slow and heavy, and mostly uses his fishing rod to attack. Big's levels are mostly constructed the same as Knuckles. However, in some sections of Big's levels, there are many watery areas where Big can use his fishing rod to fish for various items. At some points, this becomes obligatory in order to continue to further sections. His moveset is the following:
Big's Moveset
Jump/Double Jump
(twice)
Battering ram
Fishing Rod attack
Lure Whip
+ left analog stick
Fish
Super Jump
/ (while walking)
Massive Dive
/(while Super Jump)
Belly Flop
(in air)
Big's combo attack is named Battering ram, an attack that causes Big to literally fall on his opponent and punch them repeatedly. Using the O button, Big will perform a smooth combo with his fishing rod, which can very long range. It can also be performed while in mid-air. The Lure Whip will cause Big to swing his fishing rod while standing in one place; simply press the delta button and spin the left analog stick to do it. Big's ability to fish, just like in the original, can also be performed here by pressing the delta button. When released, Big will through his bait in the water and wait for a fish to catch or any other item. Super Jump and Massive Dive work the same way as Knuckles' while Belly Flop works the same way as in Sonic Heroes. Jon St. John provides the voice for Big.
Shadow is one of the three main characters of the game. His gameplay is pretty much the same as Sonic's, with some differences in his attacks. Shadow can also be played in the Mach Speed levels. He is light and fast and his levels are designed the same way as Sonic's, only more difficult, having more enemies. His levels also feature a wide variety of vehicles just as in Shadow the Hedgehog. Shadow's moveset's the following:
Shadow shares many trades with Sonic, although he has many of his own attacks. Shadow can perform the same punch & kick combo he had in Shadow the Hedgehog only more powerful and with longer range. His light dash can only be obtained as an upgrade by buying it from the shop. The Chaos Spear move is a strong and chargable attack. Charging it enough will allow Shadow do unleash a ray of electric bolts to his enemies. The longer its is charged, the faster and stronger they get. It can be upgraded to deliver more damage or gain different abilities. At start, it can shock the opponent. Shadow has many power-ups, which will be explained on a different section, such as the Chaos Lance, the Chaos Boost, the Chaos Blast and many others, which can be acquired under different circumstances. Shadow is voiced by Jason Anthony Griffith.
Rouge's treasure hunting gameplay is the same from Sonic Adventure 2. Rouge can glide and climb, but also plant bombs, similar to Knuckles, having her gameplay mostly unchanged since Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). Her levels are most of the times played within Shadow's. In the game, works mostly works as an undercover agent of G.U.N., so her outfit, during most time in the game, is the one seen in the picture. Rouge's moveset is the following:
Rouge can perform a short kick combo as an attack. She may also throw Heart bombs. These Heart bombs can also be planted anywhere as landmines in certain parts of the level. Rouge is voiced by Karen Strassman.
Omega is played similarly to Sonic Heroes, with a few adjustments, such as some third-person shooter elements to it. His gameplay is, therefore, pretty much based on Knuckles'. His levels are mostly parts inside Shadow's. They are designed to have a plethora of enemies and various paths to take. Omega is very heavy, but he's fast(not as much as Sonic), making him the fastest Power-Type Character. He also does have some pros. Omega's moveset is the following:
Omega's Moveset
Jump/Double Jump
(twice)
Combo attack
Hover
(hold)
Omega Shot
Omega Launcher
Adjust camera
/
Super jump
/ (while walking)
Massive dive
/(while Super Jump)
Omega can hover with his boosters and perform a basic melee attack with his arms. His Omega Shot allows him to fire multiple shots of a gatling gun. His Omega Launcher fires missiles, which can be charged and aimed. Omega has various upgrades, allowing him to power-up his attacks and expand his moveset. Vic Mignogna, along with some special effects of a computer, voices Omega.
G.U.N. Soldier
His real name is John Washington. He is a young man who is forced by the goverment to become a soldier and take part in the battle against Eggman. Unlike the other G.U.N. Soldiers in the game, he doesn't want to take part in wars or to destroy things, similarly to Gamma. Hence, he shares many similarities with Gamma in terms of gameplay. It has some third-person shooter elements into it as well as some platformer. His levels are mostly in part of Shadow's, although he does have some levels of his own. They are very wide and full of enemies to defeat. In addition, players will have to shoot down targets and various items within the level to earn points, amoes and upgrades. All in all, his gameplay was influenced from The Chronicles of Sonic the Hedgehog: I Am the Future. His moveset is the following:
G.U.N. Soldier's Moveset
Jump
Gun shot
Rocket
Lock-on Shot
Quickstep
Right analog stick
Crouch
/
Like Tails, he can jump only once. Press the square button to fire a basic combo shot. The aim is automatic. Hold the circle button to aim at your opponents and release to fire. Pressing the triangle button will make the soldier fire a powerful rocket. It can be charged but it has to load in order to be used. Quickstep makes the soldier dash rapidly towards any direction to avoid incoming attacks and pressing either R1 or L1 makes the player hide under something to take shelter. Players can press the Select button to charge to game's perspective during gameplay. Jason Anthony Griffith provides the voice for John Washington.
Silver is one of the main characters and has his own storyline. He teams up with Blaze and Cream to stop a mysterious figure known as the Magic Man and acquire the 7 Sol Emeralds. Silver has a very unique type of gameplay, which is the same from Sonic 2006, with a few adjustments. His gameplay requires strategy and his
hard to master. He uses his telekinetic powers to manipulate physical objects, such as crates or enemies, as well and posesses melee attacks and projectiles. His levels are quite large, filled with various items so that Silver can use them to attack enemies. Silver has any moves and these moves come with any upgrades. Silver's moveset is the following:
Silver' Moveset
Jump/Double Jump
(twice)
Combo attack
Levitate
(hold)
Psychic Wave
Psycho Shock
Psychokinesis
/
Cancel
/ (while Psychokinesis)
Shoot all objects
(while Pyschokinesis)
Shoot 1 object
(while Psychokinesis)
Psychic Burst
(while psychokinesis)
Silver can now perform a simple, close ranged melee attack like Shadow, levitate for a short period of time and use a weak and slow projectile, the Psychic Wave. The Pyscho Shock enables Silver to temporarily shock and disable near-by enemies. The move can be upgraded to Psychic Eruption (explained in Upgrades section). This move makes it easier for Silver to pick up enemies using his Psychokinesis move, a mode that the player may access by pressing the R1/L1 button. In Psychokinesis mode, Silver starts floating and will lift up any nearby object within a specific radius. Press the R1/L1 button again to immediately deactivate the attack. Press the square button to throw all object at once in the direction you're facing. Press the circle button to throw 1 object at a time. This is very useful for strategic methods such as aiming. Pressing the triangle button will allow Silver to throw all of the objects he has lifted with a powerful burst anywhere. All of these moves are activated while in Psychokinesis mode. By rotating the Right Analog Stick while using Psychokinesis, Silver will also rotate the lifted objects around hi, creating some sort of orbital ring around him, like a shiled, which can also inflict damage. Moreover, Silver is much more faster than he was in Sonic 2006. Silver is the only one with this type of gameplay. Silver is voiced by Pete Capella.
Blaze is fast and agile, like Sonic, and shares the same type of gameplay with him, just as in Sonic 2006. She has very similar stages with him. Her moves remain largely unchanged from Sonic 2006. Her moveset is the following:
Blaze's Moveset
Jump/Double Jump
(twice)
Fire Claw
(in air)
Combo attack
Spinning Claw/Light dash
Flame Tornado
Blaze can perform a homing attack called the Fire Claw, a combo attack (double punch & kick), the Spinning Claw, an attack that makes Blaze spin along the ground in a ring of fire, damaging anything in her path and the Flame Tornado, which causes Blaze to perform a mid-air tornado of fire. Does decent damage. Blaze also comes with a plethora of techniques such as the Light dash, the triangle jump and the stomp move. Blaze is voiced by Bella Hudson.
Cream the Rabbit
Cream's gameplay is the same as Tails and Rouge's. Her levels are very few and part of Silver's and Blaze's levels. Cream's moveset is the following.
Cream's Moveset
Jump
Fly
(hold)
Cheese/Chao attack
Carrot bomb
Cream can control Cheese to help her attack on enemies. She can also plant bombs in the shape of a carrot. Cream is voiced by Michelle Ruff.
Espio, Charmy, Mighty and Vector have their own storyline in the game. Espio's gameplay is pretty much the same as Blaze's and Sonic's, being a speed-type character. His levels are long and contain a platformer-elements into them. Espio can also access the Mach Speed Levels. Espio's moveset is the following:
Espio can double jump and perform a homing attack. Pressing the square button in Action Stages will make Espio perform various martial art moves, executing them rapidly one after the other, performing chains. This move is very handy when invisible and can be upgraded. The circle button makes Espio throw a shuriken. The aiming here is fixed and will always head towards the nearest enemy. Pressing the triangle button will make Espio turn invisible until he is hit by an enemy. Pressing the triangle button in mid-air will make Espio execute the Leaf Tornado. Espio can also perform the triangle jump. Espio is voiced by David Willis.
Charmy has a unique attack called the Sting, which allows him to dash forward towards his enemies with his sting, delivering decent damage. It can also be used for opening up flowers. Charmy is the only one who can do that. These flowers have various items inside them such as rings, power-ups etc, and can be found throuout Action stages and Adventure Fields. Beehive functions as a bomb, which can either be planted or thrown at. Charmy is voiced by Colleen O' Saughnessey.
Mighty the Armadillo
Mighty returns once again as a fourth member of the Chaotix Detective Agency. Mighty is a Power-Type character, so he shares many gameplay similarities with Knuckles and Omega, although he doesn't have any sorts of gadgets or weapons, making him dependent solely on raw power. He is very strong, but also heavy. Mighty's moveset is the following:
Mighty's Moveset
Jump/Double Jump
(twice)
Homing attack
Combo attack
Spin Dash
Mighty Boom
Sphere
/
Super jump
/ (while walking)
Massive dive
/(while Super Jump)
Mighty does have a homing attack, but has a much shorter range than Sonic's. He is also very heavy, making the homing attack a rather bad technique to use. In addition, Mighty can perform the spin dash. This is, again, much different than Sonic's, as it is slower but much stronger. The Mighty Boom, activated with the triangle button makes Mighty perform a chargable attack, which unleashes a burst of fire around him. Finally, Mighty can turn into a sphere, by pressing the R2/L2 button. This comes in very handy in terms of defense. Mighty can also access very narrow areas in this form. Pressing the Right Analog Stick will make Mighty roll. Mighty is voiced by James Arnold Taylor.
Vector the Crocodile
Vector plays similarly to Sonic Heroes, being a power-type character, as well as Sonic the Werehog's from Sonic Unleashed. Most of Vector's attacks involve using his arms and his bubblegum. Vector's moveset is the following:
At start, Vector's combo attack is a weak punch and kick combo. However, as Vector's moves upgrade, his combo attack becomes much more vicious, sort of like Sonic the Werehog's attacks with his arms. Pressing the L2/R2 buttons while performing this action will expand his attack, allowing the player to execute more attacks. The Meteor smash attack is the same one from Sonic Heroes, as well as the Bubblegum bomb. Another move borrowed from Sonic Heroes is the ability to float in mid-air using his bubblegum. Vector is voiced by Keith Silverstein.
Metal Sonic has his own storyline in the game. His two team-mates, Fang and Gamma, are also playable. Metal Sonic's gameplay and levels are exactly the same as Sonic's, although his levels most of the times take different routes. Metal Sonic can also access the Mach Speed levels. His moveset is the following:
Metal Sonic's Moveset
Jump/Double Jump
(twice)
Homing attack
(in air)
Combo attack/Boost
Rocket/Light dash
Copycat
Tornado
(in air)
Metal Sonic is as quick as Sonic, has a homing attack, a boost and a tornado. Metal Sonic also has the ability to fire a large rocket projectile from his chest, which does a lot of damage. For his combo attack, Metal Sonic shlashes multiple times his prey. Copycat allows Metal Sonic to project multiple copies of himself at the same timem in multiple directions around him, which instantly fade out. It can be held down. This technique can be used either as a shield, or as an attack. Metal Sonic is voiced by Ryan Drummond, along with special effects from a computer.
Fang the Sniper
Fang returns once again, this time working for Dr. Eggman. Fang's gameplay is a freelance first-person shooter, with various platformer elements into it, kind of like Julie-Su's and Omega's. He depends a lot on his weapons, which can be upgraded, purchased or powered-up. His levels feature many targets and breakable items. Fang's moveset is the following:
Pressing either the R1 or the L1 button will make a crosshair appear on screen. Pressing R2/L1 will turn the screen into a first-person shooter perspective and into a normal, platformer perspective respectively. While holding the R1/L1, button, pressing either the Square, the Circle or the Triangle button will fire a different projectile towards the opponent the crosshair is aiming at. At first, Fang comes in with 3 weapons: the Magnum 4, the missile launcher and the grenade, which can be fired with the circle, the triangle and the square button respectively. These are the level 1 weapons. Levels 2 and 3 can be purchased from the Shop as power-ups for Fang. Fang's voice is provided by Jeff Bergman.
E-102 Gamma
Gamma returns, for the last time, in the final Adventure saga. This time, he is working for the evil schemes of Dr. Eggman, teaming up with Metal Sonic and Fang to retreive the lost artifacts. Gamma shares many similarities with the G.U.N. Soldier. For one, he is forced to battle against the opposing forces without his will. Gamma's gameplay is the same as Fang's. His moveset is the following:
Gamma's Moveset
Jump/Double Jump
(twice)
Hover
(hold)
Combo attack
Grenade
(during R2)
Homing missile
Electrostatic beam
Adjust camera
/
Aim
/ (hold)
Gamma can hover, just like in the first game. His homing missile is exactly the same from Sonic Adventure. It can be aimed by holding down the R1/L1 buttons. His combo attack is a simple sweap with his arms. Gamma also comes with two new weapons, a grenade and an electrostatic beam. This weapon can be charged and enables Gamma to shoot a large ray of electrictricity. It also does damage as a melee weapon. Gamma is voiced by Andrew Paull.
N.P.C.'s
N.P.C.'s stand for Non Playable Characters. These characters are characters that play a special role in the story of the game. They are the following. It should be noted that the game takes into account the past storylines of Dr. Finitevus and Dimitri from the comics.
Dr. Eggman is the main villain in Sonic's Storyline and one of the four main villains of the game. This time, the mischievous doctor has learnt about an ancient technology known as the Bau technology, which has been broken up into 10 pieces. His goal is to find these artifacts so he can unlock an ancient, hidden war-machine and conquer the world. His mechs can be found as common stage enemies in nearly every stage. Dr. Eggman's design is the same one from Sonic 2006. This is done in order to look more realistic, serious and diabolical. Eggman is once again voiced by Mike Pollock.
Dr. Finitevus
Dr. Finitevus debuts in the game as one of the four main villains of the game, and the main antagonist in Knuckles' storyline. He is the last surviving citizen of Albion, an echidna city known for its technology. In the game, he leads an army of hooded Echidnas called the Dark Legion and is in search of an ancient suit known as the Enerjak suit, which was hidden by the Brotherhood
of Guardians in order to never be found and used for evil purposes. This suit allows the user to gain immortality and gain unimaginable powers out of this world. Thus, Knuckles is the only one who knows where the suit is hidden. Finitevus also teams up with Dimitri, a mysterious floating head whose true intentions are unknown, in order to beat Knuckles in this treasure hunt.
Finitevus' past and sudden appearance to the world is explained with detail in Knuckles' Storyline. What we do know is that Finitevus was once a scientist who, after absorbing excessive chaos radiation from his own creation, became a mad albino genius who turned against his own race and anihalated all of the Echidnas, with the help of Dr. Eggman. Dr. Finitevus takes pleasure in operating and examining the corpses of echidnas to see how their bloodline manipulates chaos energy. Finitevus's design features two adjustments. He wears a bandana on his forehead to cover his third-eye. He also wears black boots instead of bandages. Finitevus is voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson.
Dimitri is one of the four main villains of the game and a recurring villain in Knuckles' storyline. He mainly appears on the side of Dr. Finitevus. Dimitri used to be an echidna scientist who became corrupted by the power of the Enerjak suit, long time ago. Eventually, Dimitri's health deteriorated and could no longer live. Dr. Finitevus, then, offered to save his life at the cost of his entire body, whose head was placed inside a glass orb, where he could live for eternity. Dr. Finitevus' plan was to examine his body. Dimitri's true intentions are not revealed to us until in the final story. Dimitri's appearance remains the same from the comics.
Dr. Lucious "Magic" Ford
Simply known as Dr. Magic, he is one of the four main villains if the game and the main villain in Silver's storyline, as well as in Shadow's storyline. After surviving the crash from the newly rebuilt Death Egg in Sonic Heroes 2, he began searching for the Sol Emeralds in desguise, known as the "Magic Man", a mysterious cloaked figure who is feared by the citizens.
Dr. Magic's new design features a new black uniform instead of his white laboratory robe. Dr. Magic is voiced by Wally Kruth.
Shade the Echidna

The game is divided into Adventure Fields and Action stages, similarly to the way done in Sonic Adveture. Action Stages are the basic playable stages for every character. Not every character has access to every level in Story Mode. Each Action Stage is differently structured for each character, in order to serve their gameplay mechanics. Action Stages usually take to 7:00 to 13:00 minutes each and can be accessed either from the Adventure Field itself, where it is located, or from the Menu.
Adventure Fields
Adventure Fields work the same way as in the original. They are now vastly larger. They give the player the opportunity to explore and interact with various other characters. Aside from having the Action Stages, Adventure Fields contain various hidden prizes and items such as mission cards, Chao Garden items, Emblems, upgrades, easter eggs and bonus features.
Mach Speed Levels
Mach Speed levels are levels designed only for specific speed type characters in the game, namely Sonic, Shadow, Blaze, Metal Sonic and Espio. These levels are designed the same way as all levels in Sonic Generations, day time levels in Sonic Unleash and the Mach Speed levels in Sonic 2006. Gameplay in these stages are the same as in the games mentioned above. Mach Speed levels serve for acquiring the Chaos Emeralds needed to access the Final Story of the game. There are 7 Mach Speed levels total, each one affiliated with one stage from the game's story. Mach Speed levels can be found hidden in the Adventure Fields, after the player has completed the actual level itself. For example, when the player completes the Action Stage Blue Bay, its Mach Speed counterpart will be unlocked. Only the following levels have a Mach Speed level: Blue Bay, Tropical Sanctuary, 00's Boulevard, Archaic Mosque, Dragon Dojo, Sky Squadron and Air Winds.
