The ultimate celebration of 20 Years of Sonic gaming, Sonic Generations delivers the definitive gaming experience for Sonic fans new and old. The Classic Era levels for Classic Sonic are directly taken from their respective games, while he instead gets new maps in the console/PC version. It's two decades since Sonic first sped onto your screen, and in honour of the world's favourite hedgehog, the best of past and present have been combined in a 3D sprint down memory lane, in Sonic Generations for Nintendo 3DS. Strap yourself in for the ultimate Sonic adventure as you 'see double' and experience the sound barrier-breaking fun in a whole new dimension.

Devil's Details and Dimps helped create the Windows and 3DS versions, respectively. The Windows version is noted for its active modding scene, where a dedicated community creates new gameplay mechanics, levels, and assets for the game.

It's difficult to believe now, but there was a time when Sonic the Hedgehog games were good. Like, really good. Sega's recent efforts have been average at best, tragically bad at their worst (with a few exceptions here and there, mostly on handheld formats). Sonic the Hedgehog 2 falls into the series 'really good' period and so it is with this Mega Drive classic that developer M2 finishes off its current run of 3D Classics for Nintendo 3DS.

On the 3DS version's Profile Card patterns, the screenshot used for "Sonic Unleashed" comes from the Wii version, not the console/PC version, modified to include a directional shadow. Upon reaching the end of the level, players are given a grade based on their performance, with an "S" rank being the best and a "D" rank the worst. [5] After completing an era, players must defeat two bosses: a "rival" character and a main boss. [8] Defeating each boss gives the player a Chaos Emerald, [c] and once the game has been completed, both Sonics can transform into their super forms by collecting 50 rings in a normal level. As Super Sonic, the player is invincible and their speed is greatly increased. However the Sonics lose rings while in this form, and will revert to their standard form when all the rings are gone.

The music in the game was remixed by Jun Senoue and Tatsuya Kozaki, with guest remixes done by Tomoya Ohtani, Kenichi Tokoi and Naofumi Hataya (who remixed the classic versions of the Genesis stage themes), among others. Similarly, the 3DS version of Sonic Generations draws its inspiration from the Wii version of Sonic Colors in that the only characters prominent in the 3DS version is Sonic, Tails and Eggman and its in-game content is accessible by game menus much like the Wii version of Sonic Colors. Unlike the console/PC versions, and excluding bosses, there are no levels representing Sonic Heroes, Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), or Sonic Unleashed.
