I'd rather not go into it, but for a start the gameplay is well different from usual Sonic games. That is to be expected but it goes as far as introducing brand new concepts and abilities that are no longer further introduced in the series. For example characters healing abilities or Knuckles able to summon boulders or whatever.

Another thing is that the geology is a mess. It's canon that Green Hill Zone is located on South Island out in the ocean. However games like Sonic Battle and Sonic Chronicles excuse Green Hill Zone a spart of the mainland next to Central City, thats just a "no" for me. Sure Sonic Adventure 2 started the trend with Green Hill Zone (Sonic Adventure 2) but on the stage select screen which is depicted as a map, the unlocked stage is located on a small island far south of the map so thats excusable as South Island. Club Rouge and Amy's Room is one thing, but Tails' Workshop and home located in Emerald Town when originally it's located in Mystic Ruins. In Sonic Rush (a year or two after Battle) not only has Tails relocated near Water Palace but now looks like how it did in Mystic Ruins (and re-established actual Mystic Ruins workshop again in Sonic Runners) so that makes little sense.

I know it's all rather minor things but to me it irks me and all adds up to not make Sonic Battle and Sonic Chronicles not very convincing to SegaSonic canon.

Yes I can imagine the game serving as a prequal to Sonic Chronicles and yeah the whole Gizoid story is nice, but again it fits loosely with canon and Ken Penders made sure Sega can't do anything more wit hthe whole Gizoid and Dark Brotherhood business.

Someday I would like to remake Sonic Chronicles: the Dark Brotherhood. Iwant it to have the same story but a total overhaul of geology and gameplay. I would even like to give the story to continue after the Twilight Cage. the way I can imagine will have the game fit in more with Sonic lore and Ken Penders shouldn't bother me about it.
