== Plot ==
=== Console/PC ===
Classic Sonic is running through the Star Light until he hears a noise and senses a brief earthquake, though he ignores it. Soon after though, a mysterious entity known as the Time Eater appears in the sky and everything whites out.
In the present day in the mainstream universe, Tails arrives at a gathering that is attended by his friends. Arriving soon after, Modern Sonic discovers that his friends have been preparing a surprise birthday party for him, as it is his birthday. Modern Sonic celebrates his birthday with his friends until the Time Eater disrupts the party by sucking everyone through various Time Holes and scattering them across time and space. Not happy with this, Modern Sonic tries to attack the monster, only for it to knock him down. The impact of the attack leaves Modern Sonic unconscious in the grass.
A while later, Modern Sonic regains consciousness, though he finds himself in a strange dimension known as White Space. Noticing a colorless portion of Star Light and Tails (now a colorless statue) nearby, Modern Sonic races through Star Light, which regains color and life after he runs through it. At the same time, Tails is restored too. The two then spot Casino Night in the same colorless state as Star Light was nearby, and Modern Sonic heads over there to investigate. Meanwhile, Classic Sonic, whom Tails mistakes for Modern Sonic, passes by and goes to Casino Night as well. Later, Modern Sonic meets Tails at the Casino Night. While there, the hedgehog tells his friend that he is getting a strange sense of déjà vu from passing through these areas. Exiting the Casino Night, the area goes back to normal following Modern Sonic and Classic Sonic's run through it. However, each Sonic is unaware of the other's presence. At the same time Casino Night is restored, Amy is restored as well.
Afterwards, the two Sonics race through Flying Battery, restoring Knuckles in the process. Following that, Classic Sonic ends up on a highway in Collision Chaos, where he defeats Classic Metal Sonic and gets a Chaos Emerald from him. Later, Modern Sonic and Classic Sonic end up inside a Boss Gate at the same time, separated by a glass wall, which they each think is a mirror. Suddenly however, Modern Eggman's voice is heard from the exit of the Boss Gate, mocking the hedgehogs and telling them that he will end Sonic soon. While Modern Sonic is unfazed by the taunt, Classic Sonic heads into the exit. Modern Sonic then realizes that there is another version of himself here, and tries to enter the exit as well, only for it to close before he is able to pass through it. Meanwhile, Classic Sonic fights Classic Eggman and his Death Egg Robot aboard the Wing Fortress. After the doctor is defeated though, he is kidnapped by the Time Eater as he begs Sonic for help. Later, both Sonics meet in White Space, surprised by each other's presence. They also meet both Classic Tails and Modern Tails. The four of them then discover that they are traveling through time and space, which explains the various locations they recognize. The quartet subsequently team up to stop the Time Eater's rampage and save their remaining friends.
Continuing onward, the Sonics rescue Cream the Rabbit and Cheese after restoring Emerald Coast, Rouge after restoring Radical Highway, and Espio after restoring Lost Jungle. Along the way, the two Tailses figure out that the Time Eater is tearing space apart as it moves through time, thereby ripping places from across space and time from their locations in their timelines and placing the-now lifeless and dead areas in White Space. However, by speeding through time in these areas, the Sonics are able to fix space and return life to these areas. With the universe about to fall into chaos because of the Time Eater however, the Sonics realize they have to get going like never before. Soon after, Modern Sonic claims a Chaos Emerald following a meeting and clash with The Egg Hawk near Seaside Hill. Not long after, he finds himself in a flooded Station Square where he defeats Perfect Chaos. Afterward, the Classic and Modern pairs discover that the Time Eater does not like the Chaos Emeralds, making their hunt for the gems even more important. Continuing their adventure, the Sonics pass through Wave Ocean, Windmill Isle and Aquarium Park, restoring these locations and rescuing Blaze, Vector and Charmy too. Meanwhile, Modern Sonic wins a Chaos Emerald from Solaris after defeating him in a fight in Crisis City. He also goes on to fight Modern Eggman and his Egg Dragoon in Eggmanland. After defeating Modern Eggman however, the doctor is taken away by the Time Eater, confusing the heroes.
After collecting all the Chaos Emeralds, the Sonics and Tailses confront the Time Eater in its domain. There, they discover that the Time Eater is being piloted by both Classic Eggman and Modern Eggman. Modern Eggman reveals that while drifting through space following the events of the Wisp incident, he found the primordial form of the Time Eater. Discovering that the creature had the power to erase time and space, Modern Eggman decided to use its powers to alter the past and undo his previous defeats by erasing Sonic's actions from history. However, he needed someone just as smart as him to perfect his modifications for the Time Eater, which was why he had it abduct Classic Eggman earlier. Confident that Eggman still cannot win, the Sonics engage the Time Eater. Although the Time Eater manages to nearly defeat the two Sonics, their friends and allies show up to support them, thereby activating the power of the Chaos Emeralds and allowing the Sonics to transform into Modern Super Sonic and Classic Super Sonic. The super-powered hedgehogs proceed to confront the Time Eater in another dimension and manage to destroy it. The heroes then return to the present of Modern Sonic's dimension, with everything having seemingly returned to normal. There, the group continues to celebrate Modern Sonic's birthday. During the party, Modern Sonic thanks Classic Sonic for the team-up while Classic Sonic attempts to demonstrate the Boost. Although he fails, Modern Sonic encourages to continue working on it. Afterward, Classic Sonic and Classic Tails find a stray Time Hole for them to return home with. As the counterparts and the party guests then bid farewell to each other, Modern Sonic promises Classic Sonic a great future, just as Classic Sonic and Classic Tails pass through the closing Time Hole.
Meanwhile, Classic Eggman and Modern Eggman are lost in White Space. There, the two argue as they search for an exit and discuss about whether or not they ever defeat Sonic. Their discussion makes Classic Eggman contemplate if he should go back and get his teaching degree, which Modern Eggman thinks is not a bad idea since he loves telling people what to do. A slideshow of all eggman's defeats play, ending the game.

In another dimension, Classic Sonic is running through Star Light. However, he stops after hearing some rumbling noises. A Time Hole then appears and the screen fades to white.
In the mainstream dimension, Modern Tails is preparing a surprise party to celebrate Modern Sonic's birthday. However, Sonic arrives early, surprising Tails, who asks him to wait. Suddenly however, rumbling occurs and a Time Hole appears, sucking Modern Tails into it.
Sonic later wakes up in White Space. After looking around, he finds Star Light in a white and lifeless state. After running through the area, it is restored, and Modern Tails, who had been turned into a statue, is restored as well. Noticing the place to be awfully familiar, Modern Sonic and Modern Tails see Mystic Cave and Ice Cap in the distance. Modern Sonic decides to check them out while Modern Tails stays behind. Then, Classic Sonic runs through, whom Tails mistakes for Modern Sonic. Classic Sonic heads to Mystic Cave as well, leaving a confused Modern Tails behind.
After Classic and Modern Sonic (who are unaware of each other) restore Mystic Cave, Modern Sonic meets Modern Tails and tells him about the déjà vu he gets from visiting these places, with Modern Tails concurring with him. Later, after Ice Cap is restored as well, Modern Sonic and Modern Tails meet once again. Recognizing that they had been there before, they start to wonder what is going on.
Later, inside a Boss Gate, Modern and Classic Sonic see each other through a piece of glass, which they mistake for a mirror. Modern Eggman's voice is then heard from a glowing exit, threatening them. Classic Sonic runs towards the exit, which Modern Sonic notices. Full of questions, he tries to head towards the exit too, but it closes before he gets to it. On the other side, Classic Sonic defeats Metal Sonic, before fighting Classic Eggman and his Big Arm At The Death Egg. After defeating Classic Eggman, Sonic sees him being sucked into a Time Hole.
Back in White Space, Modern Sonic and Modern Tails meet Classic Sonic and Classic Tails. Trying to find an explanation of what is going on, the Tailses deduce that they are traveling through time and space, and that all of this might have been caused by the monster that sent them to White Space. The Time Eater then passes by before disappearing. As the Sonics head out to stop Time Eater, Classic Sonic spots a Spinner, which Modern Sonic defeats with a Homing Attack. Impressed, Classic Sonic picks up the move.
The Sonics proceed to restore Speed Highway, City Escape, And Bingo Highway all while Modern Sonic defeats The Egg Hawk and the Biolizard. When the Sonics meet up with the Tailses, the Time Eater passes by once again, accidentally flying into a Chaos Emerald and getting hurt by its surge of energy, before leaving. Upon seeing this, the heroes set to find the Chaos Emeralds while restoring the areas they pass through. Modern Tails also gives Modern Sonic a new pair of shoes for performing the Stomp. The Sonics proceed to restore Leaf Forest, Savannah Cidatel, And Tropical Resort while Modern Sonic comes across and defeats Eggman Nega. He eventually comes across Modern Eggman as well, and defeats him and his Egg Emperor. Afterward, a Time Hole appears and sucks in the doctor, confusing the heroes.
Eventually, the Sonics and Tailses find the Time Eater after getting all seven Chaos Emeralds. It is then that Classic and Modern Eggman reveal themselves to be behind the Time Eater. Modern Eggman explains that, after his previous setback, he found the Time Eater. Impressed by its ability to erase time and space, he decided to use it to undo his previous defeats. To perfect the monster however, he needed Classic Eggman's help. He then gloats that while he was at it, he also kidnapped the Sonics and Tailses. Despite Modern Tails warning the doctors about the damage they are doing to the world with the Time Eater, they brush his warning off. Modern and Classic Sonic then try to take on the Time Eater, but are overpowered. Just as the doctors try to attack the hedgehogs however, the Tailses save them. Unwilling to let their friends' aid go unsupported, the Sonics use the Chaos Emeralds to turn into Super Sonic, allowing them to defeat the Time Eater. In the aftermath, the Sonics and Tailses find themselves back in Modern Sonic's world. There, Modern Sonic thanks his classic self for his help. Classic Tails then discovers that the gate to his and Classic Sonic's world is closing. With no choice but to go, the two bid farewells to their modern selves, with Modern Sonic promising his classic self a great future.
In a post-credits scene, a miffed Classic and Modern Eggman are trapped in White Space, trying to find an exit. As Classic Eggman starts asking his modern self if they ever win, Modern Eggman tries to dodge the question. Taking his answer as a no, a disappointed Classic Eggman sarcastically says that he finds it very encouraging.
== Development ==
=== Console/PC ===
Development of Sonic Generations began in 2008 when Takashi Iizuka realized that there was no anniversary game planned for 2011. His idea for a tribute was accepted by Sega and developments began. Sega held an internal poll for their employees, including Sega of Japan, America, and Europe, asking what their favorite levels from the Sonic series were. After ranking the most popular levels, a website was launched holding another poll asking the opinions of fans of the series.
In late 2010, rumors of a Sonic Anniversary game surfaced online. The rumors told of a game that would potentially feature remakes of levels from throughout the series' history in both 2D and 3D. The game was alleged to be released on all major game consoles at the time: PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and Nintendo DS.
On 18 April 2011, Sonic Generations was finally announced for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A GameStop release list printed on 7 May 2011 showed a Nintendo 3DS port of Generations with a tentative release date of 31 December 2011. Later in the month, a Sega-Sammy earnings report listed Nintendo 3DS and PC versions of the game; however, a revised version of the report no longer listed either version. The June 2011 issue of Nintendo Power finally confirmed a 3DS version of Sonic Generations. It contained an in-depth preview and interview with Takashi Iizuka.
Sega officially announced a PC version of the game on 11 October 2011. This version was outsourced and developed by the British company Devil's Details.

Tetsu Katano, who directed Sonic and the Black Knight and did work on the Adventure series, directed the 3DS/PSP edition. Like the Nintendo DS version of Sonic Colors, Sonic Team and Dimps co-developed the Nintendo 3DS/PSP edition of Sonic Generations.
