Mushroom Hill (マッシュルームヒル Masshurūmuhiru?) is the third Stage in the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations.
Description[]
Like the original Mushroom Hill Zone Act 1, Act 1 is set during the summer. As such, the Act is full of green vegetation, and sunlight can be seen shining through the trees. In Act 2 on the other hand, Mushroom Hill takes place during the fall, like the original Zone in Sonic & Knuckles.
Story[]
Gameplay[]
A particular gimmick found in Act 2 is the Seed Propeller, a contraption that can carry Modern Sonic large distances through midair if he boosts into it at sufficient speeds.
Overview[]
Act 1[]
Following the trend set by Green Hill and Casino Night, Mushroom Hill Act 1's level layout is a complete recreation of the original Mushroom Hill Zone Act 1 in Sonic & Knuckles. Like in the original Zone, there is even a Star Post that has been placed just before the Goal Plate, although it no longer plays a large role, as Hey Ho does not appear in this Act. In addition, any secret rooms in this Act that would have contained a Giant Ring in Sonic & Knuckles now hold a cluster of Rings instead. Similarly, any Item Box that would have contained an elemental shield in Sonic & Knuckles now contain a regular Shield instead.
Act 2[]
In this Act, there are multiple paths for Modern Sonic to take and Grind Rails for Modern Sonic to grind on.
Towards the end of the Act, the player enters a Grind Rail section that leads through a mushroom-filled cavern. It is worth noting that along this Grind Rail there will be hedgehog-eating plants that will cause an instant death if Modern Sonic collides with them without boosting. At the end of the Grind Rail section, the player must then break through a rock wall with a well-timed Homing Attack in order to reach the Goal Ring.

Trivia[]
- The giant flower propellers from Modern Sonic's stage look similar to the ones from Frog Forest and Egg Fleet in Sonic Heroes.
- This is the only stage from Sonic Generations where the levels are based off of two different Acts of the same level, which is why they have different seasons/themes.
- Seaside Hill and Water Palace are similar, except that both Acts they were originally based on were merged into one for each Sonic (Water Palace did this for Modern Sonic only).
- Tropical Resort also did something similar, however it is based off the first Act of 2 different versions of the level instead of both acts of the same version
- Act 1 has the same layout as Mushroom Hill Act 1 in Sonic & Knuckles.
- Because of this, there is a checkpoint that is right next to the goal post, as the player would face Hey Ho after passing that check point in Sonic & Knuckles.
