This is What a ‘Sonic Generations 2’ Should Look Like

The first Generations game was great, these zones would make 2 even better.

Sonic Adventure – Windy Valley


Windy Valley checks all the boxes of a good Sonic zone. It has great music, a unique aesthetic, and an iconic mechanic that makes it stand out from the crowd. The tornado that rips through the zone could be a really fun element of that zone to expand upon with the power of current generation consoles.

Have Windy Valley be a Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde stage that’s both peaceful and easy but fearsome and difficult when the tornado zooms by you ripping up the stage in front of you.

Sonic Adventure 2 – Pumpkin Hill / Sky Rail


Just having another opportunity to hear the tune to A Ghost’s Pumpkin Soup in a Sonic game is reason enough to include Pumpkin Hill. Obviously this would be Sonic Generations 2, not Knuckles Generations (Pumpkin Hill was a Knuckles zone), but the zone in this hypothetical game could instead include a gameplay style reminiscent of Sky Rail (essentially a daytime version of the same zone for Shadow) but with the spooky vibes of Pumpkin Hill at night.

The Classic Sonic version of the stage could be an opportunity to mix 2D Sonic with a Halloween/Ghosts ‘n Goblins-like atmosphere which could be really fun and fairly unique for the series.

Sonic Heroes – Casino Park


Casino based stages are almost just as obligatory as water levels at this point and Casino Park is a great opportunity to fit one into Sonic Generations 2, without taking away from something else. Casino Park has everything you would expect from a great casino themed stage from Sonic but also has an amazing soundtrack that honestly might be more memorable than the zone itself. That goes for a lot of Sonic Heroes, to be honest. Not that it’s a bad game by any means, but damn that soundtrack is fire.

Boss: Biolizard/Finalhazard – Sonic Adventure 2


While the battle with Shadow is probably the best fight from Sonic Adventure 2, that was already used as a rival battle in Sonic Generations. So let’s roll with Biolizard/Finalhazard. Yes, it was used in the 3DS version, but a console version of the fight could be way more intense. Plus, honestly, there aren’t that many iconic boss fights in this era since so many of them are just random Eggman mechs that lack personality. Better to work the few that are memorable.
