== Plot ==
The game follows the similar plot as the original game, but with tweaks. There is also an expansion of the Story. In the Hero Sonic is mistaken for Shadow the Hedgehog whom was released by Dr. Eggman from a Military Base. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy, all work together to stop Eggman from firing the Eclipse Cannon.

With the help of Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge the Bat, He eventually achieves this, but activates Gerald Robotnik's doomsday program. Last Story goes the same exact way as in the original game; Shadow sacrifices himself for mankind after realizing Maria's true promise. After completing Last Story, Players gain access to After-Story, filling in the gaps until to Sonic Heroes. Eggman realizes that since Shadow is the Ultimate Lifeform, he can use technology to save him, and decides to send robots out to find him. Sonic finds out, and tries to stop Eggman but it's too late. Sonic doesn't worry much, and shrugs it off, saying that if Eggman tries pulling anything, they'll be ready.

F rank is also not possible to be achieved in Battle mode, due to the lack of a life system, though you can fail battle mini games, these will not affect your ranking. Your ranking is also only affected while playing Ranked mode. Ranked mode also does not support Split-Screen, or private matches, and will always put you in a public match. The only other gamemode that can affect your ranking in this gamemode is Tournament mode.
