Sonic Generations - Cart Challenge

Planet Wisp

Challenge 2
Cart Challenge

Song: Quick Trip to Paradise (Sonic Rivals; comp. Chris Rezanson)

Remember the cart platforms in the last parts of Modern Sonic's Planet Wisp stage? Well, there's a challenge revolving around this too. Heck, all of today's batch of Sonic Generations videos seem centered around one thing: Warp Points, the Aqua Shields, and the carts, respectively.

The carts are sometimes difficult to land on, as the game doesn't alway stell you where they are. Later on, the carts get faster too, and it's all too easy to miss a cart while falling to an area below. Mastery of the Stomp is crucial in even getting to the end here, let alone getting in within the S-Rank time limit. There is a major shortcut I took near the end too: While on a cart going left, I had Sonic leap up and Homing Attack an Egg Pawn on a cart going the other direction. You can eventually get on that second set of carts, but all that platforming is totally skippable.

And yes, the Goal Ring is located far above where Sonic starts. It's not as far as in the main stage, but the stage design does encourage Sonic to travel as vertically as he can.

This song is the one used in Forest Falls Act 1, the first stage in Sonic Rivals. I don't hear about this game or its sequels much, to be honest. The soundtracks are pretty metal, way more so than Sonic is normally like. This is as light as the music goes.

Does exist "challenges" in other sonic games?

Wonder what it is Eggman has been mining the whole time. If all he needed from Planet Wisp are the wisps themselves, then what is he going to do with a bunch of ore? Smelt it?

Rivals isn't as well known because there hasn't been much hype for it. Nintendo Power lets their readers know in articles about upcoming Sonic games, including the handheld games. I've yet to see a magazine that actually did an article on the Rivals series though.
