The level features water cannons from Pirates' Island of Sonic Rush Adventure, and also features a new bubble gimmick, that allows Sonic to reach greater heights. Classic Sonic has to press switches to activate water pumps and get across large gaps, and also has to deal with Knight Pawns, E-1004 Klagen, and Sea Pawns. Modern Sonic's level includes large water slides which can be used to slide across water and Boost across to reach new paths. The music of the Acts are remixes of Back 2 Back.

Trivia
Water Palace is the only level to appear in Sonic Generations that was exclusive to a handheld title.
While Act 1 seems to based off of only the first act of the original level, Act 2 is based off both acts from the original level.
Act 1 features the small propellers from Hydrocity Zone.
In the "Item Collector" mission, Modern Sonic goes through the palace backwards.
After Modern Sonic exits the water slides, he starts "surfing" on the water. This is a reference to the Wii and PS2 versions of Sonic Unleashed.
In the celling of the entrance in Act 2, there are five extra life item boxes hidden. Modern Sonic must get to the top of the first loop and then jump and boost to reach them.
On a similar note, there are three ring boxes and an extra life item box under a water slide. Modern Sonic must jump before getting inside the water slide so he can fall under it.
This level closely resembles the Greek island of Santorini.
