The game features levels that come from a past game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Each level has two stages and two bosses. The stages are Classic and Modern. Classic Sonic stages are 2D stages with gameplay in the style of the 2D Sonic games. Modern Sonic stages are 2D/3D stages with gameplay in the style of 3D Sonic games.[4] Each level has an act for both Sonic characters, as well as 10 challenges such as racing an opponent to the goal.
