Sonic Generations: White Time and Space 20th Anniversary Set

About

Sonic Generations: White Time and Space is a 20th-anniversary package blending platform action with a time-bending story. You play as Sonic and Tails navigating White Space, a desaturated dimension where the Time Eater has erased parts of history. The game alternates between "Classic" Sonic (1991 design) and "Modern" Sonic, each with distinct moves and levels. Team up in co-op to restore timelines, battle corrupted bosses, and collect Chaos Emeralds to weaken the Time Eater. The campaign spans Sonic’s history, revisiting iconic zones with updated mechanics and speed-based challenges. The set includes physical collectibles exclusive to Japan. A 3D laser-engraved crystal cube with a weighted base showcases Sonic in anniversary livery. A hand-drawn Sonic-themed washcloth and a soundtrack book with 12 tracks from early games to modern titles add nostalgic flair. The Xbox 360/PS3 version includes a "White Edition" with tracks from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Adventure, while the 3DS "Blue Edition" focuses on later entries like Colors. Limited to 2011 releases, the package appeals to longtime fans but offers little new gameplay for newcomers.

Storyline

In a past version of Green Hill, Classic Sonic is running until he hears a noise. Suddenly, the mysterious entity known as the Time Eater appears in the sky and the screen washes white. In the present day, Sonic celebrates his birthday with his friends until the Time Eater disrupts the party, sucking everyone through various "time holes" and scattering them across different points in Sonic's past. Sonic tries to stop the monster, but is easily overwhelmed by its power. After regaining consciousness, Sonic finds himself in a strange dimension known as White Space, a realm where time and space end up after they have been 'erased' by being drained of color and life. Sonic rescues his best friend Miles "Tails" Prower and as they search for their friends, they encounter versions of themselves from the past, referred to as their "Classic" selves. As the two Tails determine that Time Eater's actions are damaging time and space itself, which is why it is white and lifeless, both "Classic" and "Modern" Sonic race through their history, restoring time to normal and rescuing their friends. They also realize at one point that the Time Eater's weakness are the Chaos Emeralds.
