This Challenge Act includes a large section of Seaside Hill Act 1, starting from the entrance into the sea palace, but with grapple points affixed overhead. When within range of the grabble points, press and hold {{Y Button (Xbox)}}/{{Triangle Button (PS)}} to call [[Espio the Chameleon|Espio]]. He will then grab Sonic and use a rope to swing them across. Tilt the control left and right to make them swing back and forth. Release {{Y Button (Xbox)}}/{{Triangle Button (PS)}} during a swing to make the pair fly to the next spot. The mission is filled with regular [[Egg Pawn]]s (some of which carry [[Egg Gun]]s), spike traps, and [[Time Bonus]]es.
Thechallengepartcomes at the end,whentheplayer must swing from one grapple point to another, and then fly from the final grapple point over a tall column with spikes to reach the Goal post. If the player falls on the wrong side of the wall, grapple the last point, swing back and forthtobuildup momentum, and then release to fly over.<ref>''Sonic Generations Official Guide''pg. 198</ref>

The Act starts out with a pretty straightforward section, with two [[Dash Ring]]s at the end which lead to the next section (although the higher one has a [[Time Bonus]] atop it). In the second section, the player can either summon Espio to take a shortcut above, or go down through the underwater route. In the next section, the [[Chopper]]s normally seen in the Seaside Hill Act 1 have been replaced with [[Spinner]]s. This section also includes more [[Egg Pawn]]s and platforms which break upon contact. At the end of this section are [[Cannon]]s that serve as shortcuts.
As the player approaches the end of this Act, they must swing directly from one grapple point to another over a large [[Bottomless pit|gap]], and then fly from the final grapple point over a tall column with spikes to reach the [[Goal Plate]]. If the player falls on the wrong side of the column, they must grapple onto the last point and swing on it with enough momentum to fly over the column.<ref name="SG Guide">{{Cite book |author=BradyGames |title=Sonic Generations: BradyGames Official Strategy Guide |publisher=BradyGames |page=198 |chapter= |date=1 November 2011 |isbn=978-0761555100 |quote= }}</ref>

*A safe way to gain momentum while attached to a rope is to swing back and leave the grapple point, and then hold {{Y Button (Xbox)}}/{{Triangle Button (PS)}} again while facing the direction the player wants to go to. This gives the player a quick boost in the direction they want to jump in.
