There has been plenty of news and videos coming out of Gamescom this week. One of the latest ones, is some video of Mushroom Hill from the 3DS version of Sonic Generations. The classic version has a slightly remixed version of the Mushroom Hill music and has it’s level laid out almost identically to the original (Why make the same level?). The modern version has direct audio and the original MH music (probably a placeholder). It seems to play well with modern Sonic’sĀ abilitiesĀ even if the player doesn’t play all that well. One interesting note is the jumping in and out of backgrounds.
BTW, during the modern video, at 2:10 the player gets stuck for awhile. I recommend you skip ahead to 3:30.
