According to a listing for a Sonic Generations strategy guide at Play.com, the game will feature bonus items and locations you can unlock by collecting rings. Could the finished game contain bonus levels we don’t already know about from the leaked demo content, or just extra Acts?? The rings referred to are likely the red special rings you can gather 5 of from every Act. The red rings in Sonic Colours unlocked new content in that game, so they will no doubt do the same thing in Sonic Generations.
The ultimate celebration of 20 years of Sonic gaming. Sonic Generations delivers the definitive gaming experience for Sonic fans new and old. Sonic’s universe is thrown into chaos when a mysterious new power comes into force, creating
“time holes” which take Sonic and his friends back in time. Now they must team up to defeat their enemies, save their friends, and find out who is behind this diabolical deed.
The walkthrough guides you through every level and past each boss
Collect every ring and unlock bonus items and locations
Learn about Sonic and his friends, past and present
If you’re interested in getting yourself the strategy guide, it’s available to pre-order at Play.com for £9.99 and Amazon.co.uk for £11.69.

UK online retailer Play.com is now listing Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games on their website and on the Wii version’s page they have temporary box artwork featuring the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection logo, which indicates the game will take advantage of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in some way. The 3DS pack shot doesn’t feature the logo, but neither did Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition, and that game had online multiplayer, so Nintendo has seemingly scrapped the logo for 3DS games.
The past two titles in the Mario & Sonic series have all supported Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection on both Wii and DS with online leaderboards, so it’s to be expected that SEGA will add the same feature to this new game, but could there be more features? The Wii is certainly capable of more and Nintendo 3DS has a simpler friend code system than Nintendo Wii and DS and interesting Spot Pass features to boot, so SEGA has plenty of online features they could explore to bring something new to the series.
Until we get official word on online features we advise you take this with a pinch of salt for now. When more details are revealed we’ll pass them on.
