Oh dear god.... Why Mushroom Hill?

What's wrong with Mushroom Hill?
I think its ok.

Yeah! While it may not be the best, it's still an alright stage. Also, I love the name change to Solid Snivy.

Confetti rains down from the skies like multi-colored rain, and Robotnik’s airship looms menacingly in the background. After racing across the quaint cityscape, classic Sonic scaled a Big Ben-esque tower and climbed up the clock hands.

A spin attack performed in the center of the clock face caused it to swing open and collide with Robotnik’s airship, enabling the hedgehog to climb on board. The outcome was entirely different when modern Sonic reached this juncture in his version of the stage.

Aided by the power of his boost metre, the contemporary character propelled himself to the highest point on tower and used it as a launch pad.

Then there’s the case of some of the latest screenshots. In fitting classic Sonic into the more modern levels, they seem to have been greatly inspired by the past. Doesn’t this screenshot above remind you of Hydrocity Zone? Plus, remember the surprise of Metal Sonic’s level being from Sonic CD? Even though there doesn’t appear to be a full Sonic 3 level to be coming in the game, it does seem like bits of Sonic 3 may be found throughout. Who wants to bet that classic Crisis City will play an awful lot like Lava Reef?

At the start of the game, everyone is attending a picnic in honour of Sonic's 20th, when all of a sudden a mysterious dark force intrudes and sends everyone, including our spiky blue protagonist, back in time. Sonic is finding a way to get himself and everyone else back to the present time and along the way he bumps into many familiar faces including his younger (albeit chubbier) self! The two Sonics team up and work together to save their friends once again.

So apparently the beginning of the story is as follows:

Be thankful he's not getting kissed by princesses.

>caring about story in a Sonic game

The f*** are you doing, son?

I don't care about the story at all. It's only disappointing that this sonic game is based on sonic's 20th...

Sorry for the lack of updates(I was on a Sonic Generations chat on a site called xat),but here I am.
Anyways,Emerald Coast has been confirmed for the 3DS version,and also,this(for the console versions)!
