==Story==
Team Sonic's story begins with Sonic laying comfortably in a hammock tied between two palm trees on a mostly empty beach. The waves are gently swashing onto the sand and the wind is carefully blowing the leaves of the trees. All seems well. That is until Tails yells the name of the blue hedgehog. The young fox runs up to Sonic with Knuckles behind him and shows him a tablet with a large red dot on it. Eggman was about. It was, once again, time to stop the mustached menace.
Stage 	Seaside Resort
Objective	"Track down Dr. Eggman and find out what he's up to."
After racing through a nearby resort, Team Sonic catch up with Dr. Eggman, who decides to flee in his flyer as soon as he sees the trio. The team then chase after him, which leads them into an old sea fort.
Stage 	Ocean Fort
Objective	"Chase after Dr. Eggman."
Eventually, Eggman gets frustrated with constantly being chased and stops to have a "chat" with Team Sonic. However, he's really just stalling them as soon after, the three of them are surrounded by Eggman's mechs, leaving the scientist the perfect chance to escape.
Boss 	Ocean Rumble
Objective	"Defend against Eggman's robots!"
After the battle, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles wonder what Dr. Eggman was doing on the beach and why there were so many of his robots were there. Whatever it was, Sonic is determined to find out what his plans are and put a stop to them. Tails's tablet beeps and on it is another red dot on the map, pointing them in the direction of more abnormal activity.
Stage 	Blissful Hills
Objective	"Move to the source of the abnormal activity."
The team eventually reach the edge of the zone where the abnormal activity originated and hide behind a boulder. Sonic peeks around it and sees a factory off in the distance. On one of the tall buildings there is Dr. Eggman's infamous logo. Sonic and his friends then race off towards the factory to find out what's going on.
Stage 	Windy Fields
Objective	"Run through the fields and reach the factory."
After eventually reaching the factory, Team Sonic see an object through the smoke being produced by one of the many chimneys there. The object moves, raising what looks to be an arm and then suddenly, from a trap door on the ground, a giant tank-like robot emerges and prepares to attack.
Boss 	Egg Tank
Objective	"Destroy the Egg Tank and Dr. Eggman's factory!"
Team Sonic successfully destroy the Egg Tank, leaving it in pieces on the ground. Sonic and Knuckles then run off to go and set the power cores in the base to self-destruct while Tails spots something in the Egg Tank's wreckage. He walks over and discovers that the robot was being powered by the yellow chaos emerald. Tails then tells Sonic as soon as he arrives back at the wreckage, however, Sonic was concentrating on the fact that the whole factory was about to explode. Sonic grabbed Tails's hand and sped off with him and Knuckles as the factory was destroyed.
After their escape, Tails then repeats what he said before. Having now listened to Tails, Sonic and Knuckles both agree that they need to find Eggman, to see if he has any more chaos emeralds. The team then race off into a nearby jungle to start their search.
Stage 	Rainforest Run
Objective	"Traverse the dense jungle in search of Dr. Eggman."
During Team Sonic's search for Eggman, Knuckles spots a group of Eggman's mechs burning the trees in the rainforest. Foliage then quickly catches alight, leaving Tails to deem it unsafe to be in there. Sonic agrees and says that they need to escape.
Stage 	Jungle Chaos
Objective	"Escape the burning jungle!"
The team narrowly escape the blaze and make it to a nearby river to cool off. However, they didn't notice that during the whole time they were in the jungle, they were being followed by another group of people. Sonic turns around after rubbing water on his face and sees Amy Rose standing in front of him along with two others. Amy then begins to scream at him, wondering why he won't marry her. Silver, who was standing behind her, then approaches the team and accuses them of starting the forest fire. Tails then tries to reason with Silver, while Blaze tries to calm him down. Silver then decides that Team Sonic needs to be brought to justice for their supposed crimes and a fight between the teams ensues.
Boss 	VS. Team Flame
Objective	"Defeat Team Flame!"
Mid-way through the fight, the two teams can be seen preparing to attack once more, when suddenly Tails finds another signal. He'd found where Eggman was headed. "Look's like the trial's gonna have to wait guys. We've got an egg to scramble," Sonic says to the opposing team, before Tails, Knuckles and himself race off to a nearby desert region, leaving Team Flame to continue on their own journey.
Stage 	Desert Plains
Objective	"Hurry towards the temple and catch Eggman!"
The group arrive at the desert temple, with Tails amazed at its beauty. Knuckles points out a pair of Egg Pawns at the end of the corridor and suggests that Eggman is very close by. Using the robots as a bread trail to the scientist, Team Sonic race through the temple.
Stage 	Sand Temple
Objective	"Follow the robot trail to Eggman!"
After following the trail, the trio reach a dead end. Suddenly, a door opens and reveals Team Shadow. Questioning why Shadow, Rouge and E-123 Omega are in the same place they are, Shadow states that they're in a hurry and that they're blocking the way, which is when Omega volunteers to remove the blockage, accompanied by Rouge.
Boss 	VS. Team Dark
Objective	"Defeat Team Dark!"
With both Teams slightly fatigued, Shadow orders Team Sonic to move out of the way. Knuckles responds by stating that if it wasn't for Omega, they'd have left ages ago. Tails then warns his team mates that Eggman is quickly getting out of their reach. Sonic asks Shadow for a rematch in the future, though he gets only a "hmph" in reply. Team Sonic then quickly rush off and leave Team Dark to their mission.
As they leave the temple, the team notices a railroad track leading straight to Eggman's infamous flagship, the Egg Carrier. They all agree to follow the track to the Egg Carrier and take care of whatever they find on board.
Stage 	Railroad Carnage
Objective	"Hurry down the railway to the Egg Carrier!"
