==Plot==
=== Episode Sonic ===
The city of Soleanna is ruled by Princess Elise III, who is keeping a dark secret, the "Flame of Disaster", related to the Chaos Emeralds. The game opens with the citizens of Soleanna celebrating the Festival of the Sun; While lighting the ceremonial torch, Elise appears to experience a horrifying hallucination of the city in flames with a demonic creature composed of molten magma at its center. As the fireworks are launched, several rockets hit the ground around her and Dr. Eggman arrives with an army of small robots. He reveals his intention to kidnap Elise for the secret of the Flame of Disaster, who  of course doesn't want to obey. At that moment, a  blue wind circle appears around them and the blue wind circle is revealed to be none other than Sonic the Hedgehog, who destroyed a small number of Eggman's robots and escaped with Elise, while Eggman ordered his robot to shoot him.
As Sonic escapes, the scene switches to the sight of a white-furred hedgehog named Silver, who speaks of in the end finding the "Iblis Trigger". While jogging through the city, a pressured Elise asks Sonic why he's assisting her, however he replies that he has "no unique reason". Soon afterward, extra of Eggman`s robots assault them, and Eggman efficiently captures Elise withinside the Egg Mobile at the same time as Sonic is distracted preventing them. As Eggman returns to the Egg Carrier, Elise throws Sonic her Chaos Emerald, which he catches and assures her that he'll rescue her. Unconcerned, Eggman virtually makes a decision to allow Sonic preserve onto the Emerald for the time being, and escapes on board the Egg Carrier as Sonic seems on.
The next morning, while attempting to gather info on Eggman's whereabouts, Sonic runs into Tails, who has apparently been helping to clean up the city after Eggman's attack. Tails reveals that he knows that Sonic had attempted to save Elise, and offers to help Sonic out however he can; while he doesn't know what Eggman's up to this time, he knows it isn't good.
Sonic and Tails chase the Egg Carrier to Wave Ocean, a nearby beach, but are unable to catch  it before it escapes. Defeated at this point, Sonic and Tails decide to return to town.
Sonic and Tails make their way to the Dusty Desert, where Eggman has been seen, and landing right in the room where he is keeping Elise, who is quite glad to see them (or at least Sonic). At that moment, Eggman arrives and unleashes his Egg Cerberus robot on them, which Sonic defeats. Afterwards, Eggman sends a massive amount of robots after them, and Tails creates a diversion in order to allow Sonic and Elise to escape unnoticed.
After exiting the desert and entering the plains, Sonic stopped. Elise thanks Sonic for  help, but then notices a wound on his arm. Despite Sonic's insistence that he's fine, Elise wraps his arm with a handkerchief. Blaming himself for Sonic getting hurt, Elise apologizes, but Sonic just tells her to smile and says her smile is all he needs to help him get on. While wandering the plains, Elise tells Sonic  about the flames of disaster, Solaris(the sun god honored by Soleanna), how they had almost faced his full wrath. ten years ago and how she  lost his father. in the incident, and feared what would happen if Eggman made history repeat itself. Without warning, Sonic took Elise's hand and ran with her across the plains. Afterwards, Elise excuses herself and Sonic gives her some helpful advice. However, upon returning to the city, Sonic and Elise are attacked by Silver, who says that Sonic's actions will destroy the world and they fight.
Sonic to start with has the top hand, however Silver catches him off-guard and psychokinetically throws him right into a building, incapacitating him. Silver wants to know how a person as vulnerable and weak as Sonic may want to break the world; Sonic asks what he means, however Silver comes to a decision that it does now no longer matter, so long as the "Iblis Trigger" is destroyed. However, Eggman capitalizes on Sonic`s distraction to kidnap Elise again, and Sonic tries to run after them, however Silver isn`t approximately to permit him run off. Silver knocks him down together along with his psychokinesis, and is set to supply the coup de grace whilst Amy abruptly steps in. Silver in some way is aware of Amy, and orders her to move, however she isn`t approximately to permit him harm Sonic any more. Sonic takes the opportunity, thanking Amy, and pursues after Eggman. 
After a brief encounter with a group of Soleannan soldiers, who accept Sonic's help despite initial reluctance, Sonic enters the warehouse district of Soleanna New City and meets up with Tails and Knuckles, the latter of whom gives him a holographic message that he received from Eggman. Eggman negotiates a deal; if Sonic comes to the White Acropolis and gives Eggman the Chaos Emerald that Elise had given him earlier, then Eggman will let Elise go without a fight. Though Tails and Knuckles are both positive that Eggman is setting up a trap, Sonic decides to go anyway, planning to "thank" Eggman for telling him Elise's whereabouts.
Sonic, Knuckles and Tails fight through the White Acropolis and into the room where Eggman and Elise are. Sonic obediently placed the Chaos Emerald on a small pedestal but was not surprised when Eggman overcame the trio and activated a force field, trapping Team Sonic inside. At this point, Eggman activates the "Solaris archetype" (a name that surprises Elise), along with Sonic and co. disappeared into thin air. As soon as they disappeared, Eggman assured Elise that Sonic, Tails and Knuckles were still alive  (currently ), but had been transported to another time ; However, Eggman has no idea where they ended up, as he needed a powerhouse that Elise apparently possessed and  seven Chaos emeralds to fine-tune the machine.
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles encounter Shadow, Lavish, and Rouge, who are also trapped in this future. In order to return to the present, they need to create a rift in time and space, which they figure can be created if Sonic and Shadow use Chaos Control together. While searching for Chaos Emeralds, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles encounter Silver, his friend Blaze, and Mephiles, a dark being who resembles Shadow, tells Silver that Sonic is the one responsible for the future`s devastation, and takes them back in time to kill Sonic. Sonic learns from a computer file that Elise was killed when Eggman's battleship exploded two days after the Festival of the Sun. After retrieving a pair of Chaos Emeralds, Sonic and Shadow create the space-time rift, allowing them to return to the present.
Sonic returns to Elise, but is  attacked by Silver, who also allows Eggman to kidnap Elise  again. Fortunately, Shadow arrives to confront Silver, allowing Sonic to save Elise, and he takes her back to his castle in Soleanna. Later, Eggman arrives on his battleship and threatens to destroy Soleanna, and Elise willingly surrenders  to him to protect her people. Eggman explains to Elise that in order for his plan to take over the world to succeed, he needs the seven Chaos emeralds and the latent power of the Flames of Calamity within Elise to awaken Solaris, allowing her to harness the sun god's power over time.
On his way to rescue Elise, Sonic again encounters Silver, who instead of attacking him shows concern for Elise. The two hedgehogs work together, but before reaching the warship, it malfunctions, collides, and explodes, just as Sonic feared when he returned in the future. However, Sonic and Silver realize they can use Chaos Control to rewind time to the previous day, before Eggman's battleship was launched. Sonic travels alone to the past  and reunites with Elise. Defeating Eggman  (who fights Sonic with an Egg Wyvern ) one last time, Sonic and Elise escape the exploding warship and return to the dry land.
=== Episode Shadow ===
Shadow the Hedgehog's story opens in the midst of a rescue mission of Rouge the Bat, who was sent by G.U.N. to retrieve the "Scepter of Darkness" from Eggman's base at White Acropolis, and has not been heard from since. Shadow invades the base along with his friend Lavish and they find Rouge in the midst of accomplishing her mission. They escape to the site that was formerly the castle of Soleanna's kings where they are confronted by Dr. Eggman, who attempts to retrieve his stolen property. Eggman's robots swoop down to attack, and in the heat of the battle, the Scepter of Darkness is completely shattered. With the seal destroyed, Mephiles is freed.
Resurrected in the likeness of Shadow through his shade, Mephiles the Dark introduces himself and hints at past history that the two shared. Mephiles, using a time warp similar to Chaos Control, flings Shadow, Rouge, and Lavish to a future on the brink of collapse. When they arrive, they are first perplexed, but before long, they find some disturbing answers. Along the way, they find an inactive, dusty E-123 Omega, lying in stand-by mode for hundreds of years for an unknown reason. They discover that they are in the distant future, destroyed by the demon Iblis. Shadow and Rouge meet up with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, who were sent to the future by Eggman's latest machine. Sonic and Shadow conclude that they must use Chaos Control to get home, and set out to locate the Chaos Emeralds. After a confrontation with Iblis, they succeed in finding two Chaos Emeralds and successfully create a time warp to the present. Sonic and company go back to their time, except for Shadow, who stays to confront Mephiles. Upon catching up with Mephiles, he reveals to Shadow that the humans, looking for someone to blame for the destruction of the Earth, saw Shadow responsible for the catastrophe. Shadow is hunted down, defeated, and trapped behind an energy seal. Mephiles tempts Shadow to join him to gain vengeance upon the humans, but Shadow refuses, at which point Mephiles transforms into his second form, a more powerful crystalline monster, and the two engage in battle.
Rouge and Lavish, in the present, realize that Shadow is alone in the future, fighting Mephiles, without a Chaos Emerald. Rouge searches for E-123 Omega, gives him a Chaos Emerald, and tells him to sit and wait in stand-by mode until the distant future becomes the present, and to assist Shadow fighting Mephiles. Shadow, at Mephiles' mercy, is rescued by Omega, who gives him the Chaos Emerald and helps Shadow fight Mephiles. Defeated, Mephiles flees to the present through a time warp and Shadow and Omega follow him to the present. Omega pursues Mephiles, and Shadow finds Rouge, who informs him that Dr. Eggman is apparently searching for him. Shadow concludes that Eggman is searching for Mephiles, and goes to interview the doctor. Upon locating Eggman's base, Eggman tells him that, to understand why he wants Mephiles, Shadow must know about the accident that happened 10 years ago, the Solaris Project.
Shadow then leaves only to find Sonic, who is under attack by Silver. Shadow rescues Sonic, who runs away with Princess Elise, and Shadow engages in a fight with Silver. Shadow is able to overcome him by freezing time so Silver cannot defend himself. Refusing to just be defeated, Silver also induces Chaos Control, to Shadow's shock. Shadow tells Silver that in order to understand more about Mephiles and Iblis, they would have to use the warp and witness the accident themselves. So the two of them, using the Emeralds, open a time warp to 10 years ago, the Solaris Project. They witness the Solaris Project's failure at hand, and watch as Iblis and the original Mephiles, a dark puddle, emerge, opening Silver's eyes to Mephiles' deception. The Duke of Soleanna tells them that the demons must be sealed, so he gives Shadow the Scepter of Darkness. Shadow goes to capture Mephiles, and Silver goes to capture Iblis. It is here that Shadow finds out why Mephiles knows him; it was Shadow who sealed him in the Scepter of Darkness in the first place. With the demons sealed, Shadow leaves the Scepter in the past since he knew where it would end up in the present day. Silver and Shadow return and Shadow rushes off to find Rouge to tell her what he learned about Mephiles. Shadow finds Rouge,Along with Lavish(who has became Impartial in Sonic and Silver's stories) and tells them to find out what the Scepter of Darkness, Mephiles' seal, was made of, so they can create another one.
Elsewhere, Omega has found Mephiles on the beach and defeats him once again, but Mephiles laughs and tells Omega that the reason he can defeat him so easily is because he was built to defeat Shadow later on. Omega refuses to acknowledge the truth at first but after Mephiles escapes again, he admits to Shadow and Rouge that he was the one that sealed Shadow in the future. Shadow, Omega, and Rouge (Lavish eventually catches up) chase Mephiles to a desert temple with a new Scepter of Darkness, but Mephiles has already found the yellow Chaos Emerald. After Shadow fights him and gains victory, Mephiles reverts back into his original form, a puddle of darkness. Shadow attempts to seal him in the new Scepter of Darkness, but it shatters and Mephiles is able to free himself. Mephiles reveals that what worked ten years ago no longer does because he is using Shadow's form. Mephiles uses his powers to summon a giant clone army of himself and he attempts, once again, to trick Shadow by convincing him that he is a fool for continuing to protect those who will eventually seal him away. In response, Shadow replies, "If the world chooses to become my enemy, I will fight like I always have!" Shadow then removes his Inhibitor Rings and in a huge burst of energy, defeats the Mephiles clones with his allies by his side and the story ends as a cliff-hanger.
=== Episode Silver ===
Silver the Hedgehog lives approximately 200 years in the future where telekinetic powers are a common ability. In the future, Silver's world is completely destroyed by what is known as the "Flames of Disaster". Fought by Silver and his partner and best friend, Blaze the Cat, this is known as an immortal being known as "Iblis". After Silver becomes frustrated over the fact that Iblis cannot be defeated, a mysterious figure named Mephiles the Dark suddenly appears and, along the way, informs Silver of the time when Iblis was first unleashed onto the world. He tells him that Sonic was the main cause of the "Flames of Disaster" and refers to him as the "Iblis Trigger".
Mephiles sends himself along with Silver and Blaze back in time to the point when "the Iblis Trigger was alive" to prevent Sonic from destroying the future. Upon reaching the present day, Silver realizes that he got separated from Mephiles and Blaze and, elsewhere, Blaze makes the same realization. When Silver has his sights finally set on the Iblis Trigger, he is interrupted by Amy, who mistakes him for Sonic. Amy quickly develops a friendship with Silver, and she promises to help him find who he is looking for, not realizing that he plans on finding and killing Sonic.
While Silver is looking for Sonic, He runs into Lavish (Who went back to the present early, thanks to the small amount of power he had left) and the two somehow feel as if they know each other. Upon coming across this "Space-Time Conflict" Lavish becomes confused and decides to help Silver every now and then. 
After locating Sonic in the city, Silver engages him in combat and just as Sonic is about to be killed by Silver, he is saved by Amy. While Sonic runs off to find Elise, who was kidnapped by Eggman during the battle, Amy gets upset over the fact that Silver would even suggest that Sonic would destroy the world in the future and she quickly leaves Silver.
Both confused and puzzled when Blaze finds him, Silver questions whether or not he should kill Sonic just for the sake of saving the future. To find more answers, Silver and Blaze journey to Eggman's base. After resolving that he should kill Sonic, Silver finds Mephiles, who tells him that Sonic is at the terminal station. Silver heads there and fights Sonic again, only to have Shadow save Sonic just as Silver was about to finish him off. Silver mistakes Shadow for Mephiles and Shadow corrects him. The two battle it out and actually induce a Chaos Control using the two Chaos Emeralds they have in their possession. They teleport into the past 10 years ago and find out what went wrong. Silver and Shadow arrive at the perfect moment, during the explosion that releases Mephiles and Iblis in the first place and, ultimately, causes the Duke of Soleanna's death.
Shadow seals the original Mephiles in the Scepter of Darkness and Silver learns that to defeat Iblis, they must seal him inside someone's soul, making that person into a sort of vessel. Silver also learns more of Mephiles' intentions and discerns that he lied to him about Sonic being the Iblis Trigger. Upon returning to the present, he meets up with Blaze, shares his findings and has a change of heart, resolving to help Sonic save Elise.
Unfortunately, Sonic, Silver and Blaze arrive too late, as they watch the Egg Carrier explode causing the death of Elise and possibly Eggman as well. Silver then tells Sonic that if they use Chaos Control, Sonic can save Elise. Sonic rushes into the past to save Elise and gives Silver a Chaos Emerald for him to return to the future. After journeying back to the future, resolved to finally defeat Iblis, Silver and Blaze fight Iblis and successfully defeat him. When Silver tries to seal him, though, by using himself as a vessel, Silver is unable to use himself as a vessel to seal Iblis. As the ultimate sacrifice, Blaze uses herself as the vessel, sealing both herself and Iblis into another dimension to save both Silver and her world. Disturbed over the loss of a good friend, Silver becomes upset, unsure if what he had set out to do was worth what he had to pay in the end. Nevertheless, light returns to Silver's world, and the game ends with him glaring at the Chaos Emeralds while Blaze is sealed with Iblis in another dimension.
=== Final Episode? ===
Mephiles is seen sporting an evil look as he finally seems prepared to merge with Iblis and destroy the world. Using his purple Emerald, Mephiles blinds Sonic and Elise, who were continuing their stroll from where Sonic's storyline left off. When they are distracted, he rises from the ground and launches an energy beam that impales Sonic through the back, killing him instantly. Elise frantically attempts to revive Sonic, but upon discovering that he is indeed dead, she cries in despair, releasing Iblis. Mephiles then absorbs Iblis, mutates into a monster known as Solaris, and then creates his own world to destroy time itself. Continuing from where Shadow's story ended, he and his friends recover from their battle with the Mephiles clones and Shadow notices the Green and Yellow Chaos Emeralds that Mephiles left behind. These create a blinding flash that send Shadow, Rouge, Omega, and Lavish to the time-space rift formed by Solaris. Meanwhile, in Soleanna, Amy, Tails and Knuckles notice a large bright light that engulfs the city. When the light fades, they realize that they have also been transported to the rift where all of the previous levels in the game exist. Amy is the first to spot Silver, who has been teleported here as well by the Chaos Emeralds that Blaze used to seal Iblis within her. Everyone notices that they have all been brought to this strange place, even Dr. Eggman. As they try to understand what was happening, Dr. Eggman reveals that Iblis' seal has been broken. It is then that they turn and see Elise, cradling Sonic's body in her lap. After a few realizations, Eggman reveals that Solaris is about to bring about the end of the world by destroying time itself, and that, being a transcendental life form, it cannot be defeated in the present as it exists in all timelines, so defeating it in the present would do nothing. Silver refuses to give up, and suggests that they team up and destroy Solaris in the past, present and future all at once, but Shadow explains why that can't happen, and stating that, with Sonic dead, Solaris is completely unstoppable.
With Amy upset over Sonic's death and their impending doom, Elise recognizes a familiar wind in the air that makes her come to believe that Sonic may not be entirely dead yet. Silver, furthering Elise's observations, explains that they can use the Chaos Emeralds to revive him. After a lengthy search on the part of Tails, Omega, Knuckles, Silver, Rouge, Amy, Shadow, and Lavish, they find the Chaos Emeralds and revive Sonic, with extra power transforming him into Super Sonic. Super Sonic uses his power to transform Shadow & Silver into their Super States. Together, the three hedgehogs fight Solaris, and they manage to destroy Solaris's consciousness. Losing control over his body, Solaris's body diverges into streams of energy, reverting it to its original state: a tiny flame. Sonic, now back to normal, travels with Elise to a point in the past where they find the "flame of hope" and its birth. Elise realizes that if she puts out the Flames, Solaris will never exist, but she and Sonic will never meet each other, which Sonic confirms. Overcome with despair, Elise begins to cry and shouts that she does not care what happens to the world as long as she and Sonic are friends. Though Sonic is clearly unhappy about this as well, he tells Elise to just smile and manages to convince her to abandon their meeting. She confidently puts out the Flames, eliminating Solaris from existence once and for all. Meanwhile, Silver expresses reluctance to forever part with Shadow And Lavish, but does it anyways. Lavish also suggests that they will meet again.
Time reboots back to the Festival of the Sun, only Eggman does not attack this time around; in effect, none of the game's events ever actually happened. Elise is in her boat waving the audience as Sonic runs through the public, the "wind" of his speed making Elise lose one of the feathers in her hair. A maid asks her if everything is alright, and Elise says that she thought someone was calling her. Another maid replies that it's just the wind, and Elise says that it might be, but that it felt familiar somehow, and smiles, apparently knowing who it was. She continues with the festival as Sonic watches from a rooftop. The game ends with Sonic watching Elise's feather flying into the night, also smiling.
Most of the events never happen. However, Lavish ends up stuck in a time rift, and the events come back hitting even harder. The credits also suggest that the story is not over, as the outro text shows "End?" instead of "Fin" 
=== Current Recap ===
Doctor Eggman kidnaps Princess Elise of Soleanna in the hopes of harnessing the Flames of Disaster, a destructive power sealed within her. Aided by his friends Tails and Knuckles, Sonic works to protect Elise from Eggman. Meanwhile, Shadow, his friend Lavish, and his fellow agent Rouge, accidentally release an evil spirit, Mephiles, thanks to Eggman. The spirit transports the 3 to a post-apocalyptic future ravaged by a demonic monster, Iblis. When Mephiles meets survivors Silver and Blaze, he fools them into thinking Sonic is the cause of this destruction and sends them to the present to kill him.
Throughout the story, Sonic and friends travel between the past, present, and future in their efforts to stop Mephiles and Iblis and protect Elise from Doctor Eggman. Though at first Silver stalks Sonic and impedes his attempts to save Elise, Shadow reveals to him that Sonic is not the cause of his world's suffering but rather Mephiles, who is trying to change the past for his own evil purposes. They travel 10 years in the past and learn that Mephiles seeks to bond with Iblis, who was sealed within Elise as a child, as they are the two halves of Soleanna's omnipotent god, Solaris. Mephiles eventually succeeds after killing Sonic to make Elise cry over his death, releasing her seal on Iblis and merging with him to become Solaris, who then attempts to consume time itself. The heroes use the power of the Chaos Emeralds to revive Sonic, and he, Shadow, and Silver transform into their super forms to defeat Solaris. Sonic and Elise are brought to the past and extinguish Solaris's flame, removing the god from existence and preventing the entire game’s events from ever occurring. Despite this, Sonic and Elise show faint signs of recalling their encounter afterwards. Shadow, Silver, and Lavish also recall the events, but, for unknown reasons.

=== DLC ===
==== Very Hard Mode ====
This download has to be purchased separately for each character, 'Very Hard Mode' consists of more enemies, being forced to take the hard paths and even going through levels backwards; amigos also get a bigger role in this than in normal gameplay (most notable in Shadow's levels, where Rouge, Omega, and Lavish are in almost every single level). Each main character's missions must be purchased separately for $2.49 USD each (250 Wii Points for these WFC Pay & Play Add-ons).
==== Team Attack Amigo ====
This download includes an Extra Stage where the player must pass through eight different parts of the stage. The first three parts are played by Miles 'Tails' Prower as the player must go through Crisis City, Radical Train, and Kingdom Valley. The 4th and 5th parts are played by Blaze the Cat where the player must go through Tropical Jungle and Aquatic Base. The 6th and 7th parts are played by E-123 Omega where the player must go through Dusty Desert and White Acropolis. The final part of the stage consists of a boss fight where the player must fight the Egg Genesis as Omega to beat the Stage.
==== Boss Attack ====
Boss Attack has to be bought separately for each of the characters. Boss Attack is similar to the boss attack mode in Sonic Adventure 2, and a similar boss from Sonic Heroes is brought back where as the player has to fight several waves of enemies. The player has to defeat all bosses from the corresponding storyline and nearly each of them is slightly more difficult than the original fight (there are extra enemies in the boss arena, the boss attacks more frequently and attacks in bigger variety). Defeating all of the bosses isn't the only objective however. Between boss battles, the player must defeat all the enemies that spawn in sub-arenas which are altered versions of boss arenas or hub worlds.
==== Episode Lavish ====
Lavish's story is the true final episode as it shows different variations of time and all of the events happen again, even worse this time. This story is a lot darker then the rest of the stories and shows various themes of Lostness, Betrayal, and a lot of other dark themes. It is not recommended you play this unless you want a true ending.
