Trivia[]
Act 1 is based off of the Nintendo DS version of Tropical Resort, while Act 2 is based on the Wii version.
Because of this, Tropical Resort is the only stage in Sonic Generations to be based on two different versions of the same stage.
To stay on the Nintendo DS version, the reference behind Silver boss fight is the Mission 2-3 of Colors DS version where Silver and Blaze challenge the player in a time attack. The difference is that Silver and Blaze are in Sweet Mountain and not Tropical Resort
Due to it being the last stage in the 3DS version, its difficulty has greatly increased.
This stage is the second stage in a handheld Sonic game to feature rail-switching. The first one is Plant Kingdom from Sonic Rush Adventure.
When playing the Versus Mode, after crossing the Goal Ring in Act 2, Sonic will fall and die.
This is the only level in the 3DS version of the game without an "Item Collector" mission.
The Special Trial mission for Act 2 contains a reference to the beginning of the first Act of the Wii version of Tropical Resort. Here, Sonic goes from a grind rail into a section full of Egg Pawns and prisms for the Cyan Laser.
