City Escape's design remains loyal to its original counterpart, albeit with an updated and more-detailed appearance like most of the other Stages in Sonic Generations.
By speeding through City Escape, the Sonics are able to fix space, thereby restoring the area and, by extension, Rouge the Bat, from the lifeless states they had been put in by the Time Eater.
Gameplay[]
This section requires an expansion.
Like in the original Sonic Adventure 2, there is a giant GUN Military Truck that will chase the player and which the player has to avoid.
This is the only Stage in the game where Classic Sonic can obtain the Skateboard power-up.
Overview[]
Act 1[]
This section requires an expansion.
During Act 1, the GUN Military Truck chases Classic Sonic throughout most of the Act 1, making it the main focus.
Act 2[]
This section requires an expansion.
When playing as Modern Sonic in Act 2, the GUN Military Truck has three buzz saws on the front that the player will have to avoid.
Ranking[]
The following are the suggested clear times for achieving a high enough score to achieve each Rank. Maximum time that can be buffered by Ring Bonus are listed as well. Perfect Bonus, acquired by clearing the stage without losing a life, increases the Rank by one Rank.
High-Speed Hijinks 2: Enemies move and shoot at double speed. Try to get to the goal in time!
Doppelganger Race!: Face off against Sonic's double and beat him in a race to the goal.
Trivia[]
In the United States, the gameplay trailer for this Stage features an instrumental version of the song "Na Na Na" by My Chemical Romance.
Several instances in Act 2 are directly linked to the original level. For example, 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 is still there with only slight tweaks.
Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel appear on posters that say "Missing Since 1993". Ray has been missing since 1993, but Mighty has been in Knuckles' Chaotix, which is from 1995. This poster is likely referring to SegaSonic the Hedgehog.
There are 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 much different as the original had Chaos 0.
The GUN truck has been significantly amped up in Act 2. 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.
This was the second stage to be revealed in a trailer for the game.
In Act 2, Sonic rides a snowboard. In the original level, however, the object he rode on was a flap he ripped off of the G.U.N. helicopter.
The ground in Act 1 is mostly flat, whereas Act 2 and the original level has a rather vertical, San Francisco-like landscape.
Playing the Time-Attack mission for Act 2 will reveal that exactly half of the level is comprised of running away from the G.U.N. Truck. This is because boosting is used for the whole section.
In Act 1, Sonic used a skateboard at different points of the stage. While in Act 2, Sonic used a snowboard that was only used in the beginning of the stage.
It also features a section where a synth plays the melody of the beta version of Escape from the City.
In addition, the modern theme contains partial elements of "It Doesn't Matter" from Sonic Adventure 2.
Throughout this level, there are a few stores named "Vector's Deli", which are a reference to Vector the Crocodile.
A billboard advertising the Chaotix Detective Agency appears in both Acts of this stage. It states "Are you sure you want to know? - Chaotix Detective Agency".
This is the only stage in the entire game in which the song (in both acts) feature vocals.
