Sunset Heights (サンセットハイツ Sansetto Haitsu?) is the fourth stage in Shadow Generations. It is primarily based on the level of the same name from Sonic Forces, as well as taking some inspiration from other City stages in Sonic Forces, including Enemy Territory, Park Avenue, Ghost Town, and Red Gate Bridge.
Description[]
Sunset Heights is a quaint downtown area in the city that has since been besieged and destroyed by Dr. Eggman's robot armies, turning it into an all-out war zone.
Story[]
After defeating the Biolizard, Shadow encounters Black Doom, who tells him that they're both not complete, when they are, they will fight. Shadow obtains the Doom Surf power and uses it to find a version from the future of Sunset Heights (or Kingdom Valley).
Mid-way through, the Doom's Eye appears and sends him to the Doom Zone once again. Shadow hits him and takes the third token from him before getting sent back to Sunset Heights.
After restoring the city, Shadow sees Maria being attacked by a pack of Black Warriors and brutally defeats them using Doom Blast. Professor Gerald Robotnik also arrives. Shadow realizes they come from somewhere in time before the ARK disaster, and wonders if he can change their fates.
To get his next power, he will have to defeat Metal Overlord.

Music[]
The music for Sunset Heights, both Act 1 and Act 2, rearrange the music from the original stage of the same name.
Act 1's music, rearranged by Sonic Adventure Music Experience, is a fairly faithful cover of the original song, but with the weightier sound of S.A.M.E.'s rock style.
Act 2's music, rearranged by TORIENA, is a more electronic remix, starting off with a slightly slower, more melancholic opening to match the rainy visuals of the stage, before going into a more rapid tempo sound for the remainder of the track.
