City Escape (Sonic Generations)

City Escape is one of the stages of Sonic's 20th Anniversary celebration game Sonic Generations. This level is part of the original stage from Sonic Adventure 2, featured in the Dreamcast era. Fang, Bean, and Bark all make cameo appearances on Wanted posters in this level, while Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel appear on posters that say "Missing Since 1993". There are also posters that say "Chao in Space 2", just like in the original City Escape, with a Chao and Chaos as Perfect Chaos on the poster, which is different as the original had Chaos 0. The classic version features a remix of Ted Poley's and Tony Harnell's song Escape From The City. There is also a modern mix for the Modern Sonic Act, which sounds almost similar to the original. Shadow the Hedgehog will appear as a boss after this stage, much like Metal Sonic appears as a boss after Chemical Plant Zone. In the US, its gameplay trailer features an instrumental version of Na Na Na, from the rock band My Chemical Romance. Like the Sonic Adventure 2 game, there is a giant GUN truck that you will have to avoid several times with both Sonics.When Playing as Modern Sonic, the truck has three buzz saws on the front that he will have to avoid.

Trivia

 * Several instances of the modern version this level are directly linked to the original level. Such as the trolley at the end of the street-boarding half, the area directly after the street-boarding area, and the columns leading up to a tunnel with a Gun Beetle. All with only slight tweaks.
 * Lots of old Sonic Characters make cameos in this level and modern characters also make cameos.
 * Despite being the fifth stage, City Escape is one of the shortest stages in the game, despite the G.U.N. Truck making up roughly one third of the stage.
 * The G.U.N. Truck has been significantly amped up in the modern version: it possesses a sizable amount of buzz-saws protruding from its back, regularly smashes through entire buildings and traverses rooftops in pursuit of Sonic, and even possesses rocket boosters to allow it to fly and even chase Sonic across vertical walls.
