Which zones do we want to see in Sonic Generations? Which zones are going to be Downloadable Content for Sonic Generations?

Since we don't even know the majority of the stages in the actual game, I'd rather wait before we start discussing zones for DLC.

[Blue Blood]

Hm, if there was one stage you'd be especially disappointed not to see (or see, even), what would it be?

[Indigo Rush]

I'll be disappointed if Ice Cap or any Casino level doesn't get included. I mean, yeah, they're givens, but that's why I'd be upset if they weren't in.

If they included some haunted level, I'd be a little miffed. The only one I liked was Mystic Mansion and I'd rather have Casino Park.

[Abominal SnowTaz]

Why would we want Ice Cap if we already have Sonic Unleashed's Ice level? It'd turn out roughly the same besides the snow boarding.

I just wanna hear that Awesome Ice Cap Song. The one from Sonic 3 of course.

[Nepenthe]

The Sonic 3 Ice Cap theme has been heralded and remixed to the point of ad nauseum. That's partly why I'd rather our ice stage quota be filled with Cool Edge instead. I mean, at least it has humpback whales.

I'm a bit at ends on that one. While I'd love to see Hang Castle or Mystic Mansion from Heroes, Casino Park and Bingo Highway are the best Casino-themed stages left to choose from since Casino Night is 3DS exclusive. Of course, Carnival Night would be fantastic I definitely wouldn't want it over Hydrocity and Ice Cap. Unless... unless they throw a curve ball and stick Twinkle Park into the mix as the pinball stage.

So at Sonic Retro, for the 3DS version, an interesting point came up...

So, while sitting with the lovely and rabid people of our IRC channel in #retro (drop on by, we won’t bite… hard,) a discussion came up about Generations 3DS stages. It’s likely the modern stages will cause a rift in both versions of the games, so the console version may include levels from Sonic 2006 (prepare the painkillers), Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colo(u)rs, while the 3DS version will tote levels from Sonic Rush, Rush Adventure, and… Sonic Colo(u)rs.

This isn’t limited to that era too. It’s a possibility that Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, and Sonic Heroes entries will be replaced with counterparts from Sonic Advance, Sonic Advance 2 and Sonic Advance 3 on the 3DS.

Now, while I REALLY don't think Adventure, Adventure 2, and Heroes will be replaced due to their massive impact on the franchise (as well as the appearance of the Sonic Heroes special stage), it IS possible that Sonic 2006, Unleashed, and Consolors (see what I did thar ;D) might be replaced by the Rush "trilogy", due to the 3DS version taking heavy cues from those games.

So that's food for thought, and with that said, here's levels from the 3DS version I'd like to see (based on ). Of course, while I read that in some cases, the 3DS will be getting exclusive levels to replace the console ones, I'm guessing some levels will also stay the same, due to overwhelming popularity. So this is my "list" as to what I think will pop up in the 3DS version of the game, in comparison to the console version:

Sonic 1/CD: Green Hill, Stardust Speedway (some things are just too awesome to change, and Stardust Speedway is the only CD stage that could stand-in for a Sonic 1 stage, in my opinion)

Sonic 2: Casino Night, Aquatic Ruin

Sonic 3: Ice Cap, Launch Base

Sonic Adventure: Emerald Coast, Red Mountain

Sonic Adventure 2: City Escape, Crazy Gadget

Sonic Heroes: Grand Metropolis, Mystic Mansion

Sonic Rush: Leaf Storm, Mirage Road

Sonic Rush Adventure: Blizzard Peaks, Sky Babylon

Sonic Colors: Sweet Mountain, Planet Wisp

All things considered, I think this could be an epic list for the 3DS. It gets a lot of the runners up that didn't make the HD cut, plus... well, those are my personal favorite Rush/Adventure levels, anyway >_> Can't exactly speak for the fanbase there xD But in all honesty, Retro DOES bring up a good point. Your thoughts?

Weirdly enough I really want to see kingdom valley.

Weirdly enough I really want to see kingdom valley.

Indeed it was a very pretty stage in 06 (if a little bit grey), can you imagine how gorgeous it would look using Generations graphics and art style.

[Carbo]

Kingdom Valley is probably one of my favorite designs in a Sonic game. That scope of grandness, the music, the vibrant green and teal that give a really nice contrast to all the grey (have to say that some of the color palettes that Sonic 06 offered in general was very pretty) would have been fantastic if it was fully realized. It really brings out some of the dormant "historical ancient" aspects that Sonic sometimes touches upon.

To this day I still retain the opinion that Chu-Nan is a bit of a Kingdom Valley Lite: Oriental Version. Hell even dubbing the music with Kingdom Valley music kinda works, particularly the water section music.

Oh hells yes.

I loved that music. Really unique style and great sense of grandeur.

Another thing I want to see from 06 is Aquatic Base or Flame Core. Aquatic Base, because its the first Eggman base which exudes a sense of isolation and loneliness. The music makes it seem like a vast empty place. Eggman having no friends and all, could do with the occasional Boss-level which feels lonely and cold. The Blue Colour scheme really contrasts with stuff like Eggmanland; the carnival from hell.

Flame Core because of the Music. Both Volcano and Cavern.

I don't know why I haven't thought of this yet but Sega carnival would be awesome! who else agrees?

SEGA Carnival, a stage celebrating SEGA's history, would be lame in a game that specifically focuses on Sonic's history. Not to mention it's not very memorable or iconic at all.

Well, as a dlc stage it would be nice. Plus it would just look awesome. The level was in Sonic riders, doesn't mean that game was celebrating Sega. It wouldn't hurt the game if they included it. i'm just saying it would look epic if it made a appearance in 2d and 3d.

The level was celebrating SEGA. It was definitely cool, but there are a thousand better stages to choose from.

Well would you have a huge problem if it was included. I know it probably won't make it in, but if they put in a lot of other iconic awesome stages this wouldn't be a problem to that many.

Yes, frankly. Ignoring the fact that the spin off games aren't going to be shown, I'm pretty sure a lot of others would have a problem with Sega Carnival because there are far more preferred stages out there. Anyway, it is your wishlist

Lava Reef, Hidden Palace, Sky Sanctuary as one level

[100Modem]

After all these years im excited for this game! Growing up with classic Sonic i would love to see:

- Marble zone

- Star Light Zone

- Scrap Brain zone

- Chemical Plant

- Casino Night

- Aquatic Ruins

- Metropolis zone

- Wing fortress zone

Theres just too many stages, and im not even counting with the ones in Sonic 3k or the dreamcast.

Edited June 3, 2011 by 100Modem

[CanofEpicSauce]

I'd really like to see Marble Zone re-imagined with more Greek architecture in the background

[ElmerMaroon]

I would like to see chemical plant or starlight zone

[frokenok3]

For me the Top 10 zones i'd like to see are:

1. Chemical Plant

2. Ice Cap

3. Lava Reef

4. Stardust Speedway

5. Aquarium Park

6. Jungle Joyride

7. Ocean Palace

8. City Escape

9. Speed Highway

10. HYdrocity

I don't include Green Hill, Casino Night and Launch Base cause it's their already confirmed.

[Marcello]

Launch Base isn't confirmed. It's boss is.

------

You know, it's sad to know most of the levels I want are unlikely. I doubt Mystic Cave, Windy Valley, Metal Harbor, Hang Castle/Mystic Mansion or Tropical Jungle will get in Lava Reef, I'm not sure. Death Egg may get in over it. And Mad Matrix will in no way get in.
