== Stages & Bosses ==
The order of stages and boss battles remain the same except that the stages are less linear and have more pathways open for exploration while boss battles are more exciting and challenging. There are two additional stages for Shadow, who only had a minimum of 4 stages in the original version. For Tails' stages (mech and without mech), the environment and elements of them can change, meaning that Tails' mech stages will remain the same while Tails w/o the mech will have stage elements and environments similar to Sonic and Shadow's stages. Also, you can be allowed to use any Hero and Dark characters (playable and unlockable) to enter any stage in Stage Select and battle any boss in Boss Mode (it should be noted that when choosing a speed or shooting character for the Treasure Hunting stages, the environments and the structure of them will be assorted differently.)

== Adventure Fields ==
The Adventure Fields are added features to the game and there are five of them. They function much like in Sonic Adventure. They are in Stage Select and you can feel free to explore areas, find Emblems, talk to people, or do whatever you please.
=== Central City ===
The city-themed adventure field very similar to Station Square. One section contains an area full of buildings and roadways; this section features entrances to City Escape, Avenue Raid, and Mission street. Another section is a highway which leads to stages such as Radical Highway, Route 101, and Route 280. It also contains other areas and places such as a city hall, a hotel, a movie theater, a sewer which takes a character to the mine areas of Ghost Mountain, and a rocket that takes a character to Chao World.
=== Arid Desert ===
This adventure field takes place in an Egyptian-like desert. It features a canyon which is the stage entrance to Wild Canyon, a jungle area which is the stage entrance to Dry Lagoon, and a pathway that leads to the entrance to Eggman's pyramid base, which serves as the stage entrances to Sand Ocean, Hidden Base, and Cryptic Track. It should be noted that after completing these stages in Adventure Mode, you are also able to go inside the pyramid without playing them by using a transporter (only in Stage Select). Inside the pyramid, it contains doorways that lead to the stage entrances of Egg Quarters, Pyramid Cave, and Death Chamber; it contains a small computer room that contains a space transporter that sends you to the Space Colony ARK. You will also find archaeologists wandering the desert searching for ancient discoveries.
=== Prison Island ===
This adventure field contains four sections. One is a forest area which are the entrances of Green Forest and White Jungle. Two is a building containing prison cells which serves as the entrance for Prison Lane and a factory where G.U.N. robots are being made. Third is the bay area which features countless harbors which are the entrances of Metal Harbor and Weapons Bed. The fourth and last one is a area located in the lower sections which are the stage entrances to Iron Gate and Security Hall. You can revisit the island in Stage Select after it's blown up, but the only difference is that the bases and harbors will be in debris.
=== Ghost Mountain ===
This adventure field takes place in a dense mountain area where most of it is Halloween themed. It contains areas surrounded in roads, a railroad yard which leads to Pumpkin Hill or Sky Rail, and pumpkin-headed mountaintops. It also contains an entrance to a mine which is where the Aquatic Mine stage takes place and a sewer hole which takes you directly to Central City. You will see a few people walking on the roads and climbing up the hills.
=== Space Colony ARK ===
This adventure field takes place in a space station that was shut downed 50 years ago. This contains areas such as the capsule room, the central control room, and a computer room (not referring to a certain meme), and a large room full of shutdown projects (and it contains the tube where Shadow was created). For the stage entrances, there is an engine room which leads to Eternal Engine, Crazy Gadget, and Lost Colony. In the western hallway, it leads to an area surrounded by meteorites, serving as the entrances for Meteor Herd, Mad Space, and Cosmic Wall. The eastern hallway leads to a long corridor which leads to Final Rush and Final Chase. Note that in the Last Story, going into the central control room will immediately lead to Cannon's Core, the final stage of the game.
