Gameplay

Act 1

Classic Sonic's goal in this stage is to reach the goal post in time. First you must run through numerous ancient floating buildings in the sanctuary. Then almost at the end of the stage, you will have to run up a collapsing path that will lead to the goal post. This is similar to the end of the original level in the game Sonic & Knuckles.

Act 2

The 3D section of this stage is similar to the Act 1 stage. You must speed your way through numerous ancient floating buildings. Similar to Act 1, Sonic must run up a collapsing path that will lead to the goal.

Characters

• Modern Sonic/Super Sonic
• Classic Sonic/Super Sonic
• Knuckles the Echidna (Rescued character, Mission for Act 2)
• Amy Rose (Mission for Act 1)

Trivia

• In both Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic Generations, the Death Egg can be seen in the background of Sky Sanctuary. In Sonic & Knuckles, the next level is Death Egg Zone, and in Sonic Generations, the next level is the fight against the Death Egg Robot, which coincidentally takes place in Death Egg.
• In the Sky Sanctuary Hub, there are trees with grapes growing on them. In the manual of Sonic & Knuckles, it mentions that Knuckles favorite food is grapes.
• Knuckles is one of the five characters that are saved and appear in a stage of that game, the others being Rouge (City Escape), Espio (Seaside Hill), Blaze (Crisis City) and Charmy (Planet Wisp).
• The crumbling ground from the end of the original level is featured in both acts.
• The Death Egg is seen rising in the background of both acts.
• As well as Green Hill, when using Boost in this level, the music speeds up to a faster tempo.
• Even though Classic Knuckles was in the original version of Sky Sanctuary in Sonic & Knuckles, he wasn't seen in this version of the stage.
• The interior segment during the Modern Stage is meant to represent Hidden Palace Zone, even having a similar teleporter.
• The spinning tops from Marble Garden Zone are used in this Stage.
