I almost facepalmed when I saw that someone thought they were levels named after real places like China and the Antarctic. So how does Sonic Adventure fit in with the whole “Sonic on Earth” thing. Well remember back to me saying Station Square, Westopolis, and GUN. GUN first appeared in Sonic Adventure, where one of the areas to explore in that game was the Angel Island and the level Ice Cap, and it would seem Station Square is set in the America counterpart Westopolis.

Each level is split into Act 1, which is played with Classic Sonic, and Act 2, which is played with Modern Sonic. That makes for a total of 18 levels, not including the six mandatory boss fights mid-game, and the final boss.

Sega had previously used Alex Kidd as their mascot, but he was considered too similar to Mario and deemed unsatisfactory. If Sonic reaches the end of any zone’s Act 1 or Act 2 while holding at least 50 rings, a large ring appears through which he can jump to enter a “special stage”.

A two-player mode appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 , whereby the second player controls Sonic’s sidekick Miles “Tails” Prower.
