Original Game
The story begins with about the original Ultraman's fame. 52 years later after the last death of Dr. Eggman, Copy Eggman having discovered a new supercharged element called Ragnium on the American Museum of Natural History in New York City which he plans to use for his last revenge against Sonic Jr. In the meantime in Alaska, Team Sonic has discovered looming weather patterns that, if left unchecked, could bring about the end of the world. While on Kodiak Frontier to set up some monitors for Tails back on Seaside Island though, Sonic Jr and Amy rupture a fissure which infuses their Communicator with elemental energies that grant them new fire and ice powers. With these powers, Sonic Jr and Amy seal the fissure, slightly stabilizing the local weather. In the Alaskan Caves, they discover a giant statue of Ultraman Tiga and a blue stone. Driven by his own greed, Amy takes the blue stone by ignoring the warnings that Sonic Jr tried to tell and because of this, the ice cave starts to shaken. He and Amy Rose flee, leaving the rest to US Army and S.H.I.E.L.D. and a monster emerges from the ice cave. Sonic Jr transformed into X and buy the others some time to escape. The monster is too powerful for X to handle, even pummelling Exceed X, the Ultraman's stronger form and forced him to separate with Daichi, damaging the X Devizer before it went underground. After his defeat, Sonic Jr swears his revenge on Zaigorg for being defeated. Noticing this, Tails has the pair meet up with him on Alaskan Frontier. On their way to Tails though, Sonic Jr and Amy come across D-Fekt, a small Eggman robot with nearly limitless magnetic powers who tries (and fails) to stop the hedgehogs from sealing more fissures.

As Tails discovers that the fissures' fire and ice elements are what that are disrupting the environment, Sonic Jr and Amy arrive, and Tails figures out a way to push the powers in Sonic Jr and Amy's Communicators to the others, allowing them all to use them. Before Tails can ponder about the fissures connection to a new element he detected though, the team had to head home to contain some fissures erupting there and check up on Sticks. Along the way, the trio tries to catch D-Fekt until Copy Dr. Eggman shows up to berate D-Fekt for his failures. Copy Eggman then kidnaps Sonic Jr and brings him to Giza, Egypt, revealing his plan to humiliate Sonic Jr by having him compete in races against his supposedly unbeatable, Ragnium-charged EggBot Racers. Unimpressed, Sonic Jr easily beats the competition, escapes from Egypt and returns to his team. Not letting this set him back, Copy Eggman would drop in several times after that to take Sonic Jr to new races against his other robots, only for Sonic Jr to emerge victorious each time. Back in Los Angeles, Sonic Jr, Tails and Amy quickly revealed the monster's name: Devil Beast Zaigorg. A long time ago, the Earth was transformed into a similar condition to the hell by Zaigorg until the monster was sealed by past Ultra Warriors. Later they contain the fissures all over the city and find Sticks with D-Fekt, the badger having been captivated by how "cute" D-Fekt is. Ignoring how dangerous the robot is, Sticks joins her friends as D-Fekt escapes. Soon after, the quartet finds Knuckles when they mistake him for D-Fekt, and the echidna comes along with them. From there, Team Sonic begins following D-Fekt while also sealing fissures, suspecting the robot and the fissures share a connection.

Sonic Jr is able to restore X using a small volt of electricity but with the X Devizer still damaged, he is unable to transform. After inspecting Tiga's statue, Sonic Sr and Cynder decided to create Cyber Cards based on the giant and the original Ultraman. On London, Team Sonic had to break off their search to seal more fissures since sealing them in one place only caused them to pop up in another. In New York City, Tails' scanners showed the fissures held traces of Ragnium, leading to the discovery of a moving Ragnium source which Team Sonic followed. This Ragnium source turned out to be D-Fekt. Noticing he was being followed, D-Fekt remembers how he was created by Copy Dr. Eggman as "RagnaBot" to mine for Ragnium using eco-magnets. When a malfunction left him unable to attract Ragnium though, Eggman's pride for RagnaBot turned into contempt, prompting Copy Eggman to rename him "D-Fekt" and make him one of his Island Defenders. However, D-Fekt soon learned he could magnetize everything other than Ragnium and so made it his goal to defeat Sonic Jr and regain Copy Eggman's love. Later in Washington, D.C., Sonic Sr revealed that Zaigorg can only be sealed once more by using the same blue stone and that the monster made its way to destroy it. Needing to analyze D-Fekt, Team Sonic caught him in the city of Tokyo where Tails' analysis confirms the robot had been in contact with Ragnium. As such, all they had to do was follow D-Fekt to the source of the Ragnium. However, they had to find him again since Sticks had released him, upon where Sticks tricked D-Fekt to wear a tracker. Later in New York which was evacuated, the U.S. Army and S.H.I.E.L.D. launched the operation "Hell No. 3" to stop Zaigorg from advancing towards the tower. S.H.I.E.L.D. members used the Cyber Cards' powers but to no avail as a Zaigorg summoned Gorg Antlar and Gorg Fire Golza as his assists. With the three monsters approaching Downtown Manhattan, an evacuation is finally held. Yuuto sees this scenario from the lab and tries to run off to help his mother, resulting his emotion to resonate with the blue stone, the mysterious relic and the X Devizer. Gemini brought X and give to Sonic Jr, Lamorak and the relic under Sonic Sr's orders before joining S.H.I.E.L.D. members and US Army Soldiers in against Zaigorg as well. Galahad finally reclaim the blue stone after a short scuffle and quickly shift his focus to rescue Gemini after being trapped by a steel beam with Sonic Sr, Cynder, Gemini, Lancelot, Gawain and Percival join in.

As Zaigorg approaches, she orders them to leave her but Percival's desire to save Gemini allows his relic to give him the strength needed to lift the steel beam. The relic's crust peels off and reveal its true form, the Spark Lens, resonating with the blue stone and the X Devizer. Later in Tokyo which follows the signal, Team Sonic arrives at Copy Eggman's Ragnium mine on Tokyo Tower where Copy Eggman is piping the by-products from his mining operation off to adjacent cities, creating the fissures. The city, however, is on the verge of exploding from the pressure due to Team Sonic's meddling with the fissure. There, Copy Eggman orders Orbot and Cubot to destroy Team Sonic when D-Fekt takes the initiative himself. Copy Eggman is amazed by D-Fekt's powers, but ends up getting pinned to the walls as D-Fekt begins destroying the city of Tokyo apart. Begging Team Sonic to save him, just before Sonic Jr and Sticks came to defeat D-Fekt The X Devizer repairs itself and Sonic Jr tunity to transform and enters New York City. After Sonic Jr arrives in New York City while Gemini and Sir Percival were about to be trampled by a wall, Sir Percival quickly rises the relic and transforms into Ultraman Tiga, saving Gemini and pushes Zaigorg far from the New York City building. The blue stone reacts, summoned the original Ultraman and all three giants and S.H.I.E.L.D. members join forces against Zaigorg and its monsters. Both Ultraman Tiga and Ultraman received support from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Cyber Card-powered weapons that assisted them in defeating Gorg Antlar and Gorg Fire Golza. As Ultraman X seemingly defeated Zaigorg, the monster appeared unharmed and strangled Ultraman and Tiga with its tentacles to absorb their light energies, converting them into five missiles which launched towards X before arriving on different countries of the world, summoning five Tsurugi Demaaga. Guruman finished creating the Cyber Cards of Ultraman and Tiga and had Cynder and Lancelot sent them to Sonic Jr, who used it and equipped Ultraman X with the Beta Spark Armor. Using the Beta Spark Sword, he freed Tiga and Ultraman and fights against Zaigorg. The Cyber Cards of past Ultra Warriors resonated and summoned all of them to fight Tsurugi Demaaga in different portions of the world. X merged with Tiga and Ultraman, creating a huge data wing that charged the worldwide Ultra Warriors with the energy needed to finish off Tsurugi Demaaga. Returning to Earth, he quickly killed Zaigorg and ended his reign of terror. After the battle with Zaigorg, Sonic Jr returns from New York City and helps Sticks to defeat D-Fekt, but Copy Eggman's Ragnium is left permanently destroyed in the aftermath. After Sonic Jr makes a painful rescue of Copy Eggman, the clone of the late doctor, feeling obligated to show some gratitude, reluctantly gives D-Fekt to Team Sonic as thanks, much to Sticks' joy who calls him "Danny Jackson".

Tails then reprograms D-Fekt to be completely harmless, and Team Sonic heads home to United States with S.H.I.E.L.D. while Copy Eggman leaves for the retirement. The others celebrates the X's victory and the Ultra Warriors regroup for a moment before leaving. Tiga reverted to Percival and X separated with Sonic Jr. Because of humanity's bonds, he finally regained the true body that was lost 52 years ago and Ultraman leaves the Earth. X thanked Sonic Jr and S.H.I.E.L.D. for their cooperation since the first time they met and reassured to Sonic Jr that they will always stay united and will return should the Earth is in danger once more before leaving. Percival awakened, nearly having no recollection of his time as Tiga but was praised by Gemini, something that he had yearned for. After Team Sonic and S.H.I.E.L.D returns to the United States from Japan, Team Sonic and S.H.I.E.L.D. members celebrates their victory but X returned to them explains that the President Dave William is located in London. S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury asks Sonic Jr and Gemini to sent to London and protect President Dave William.

After the destruction of Tokyo in which Sonic Jr/Shin Godzilla caused, Sonic Jr comes into possession of a legendary sword called Yato, said to belong to the one who will save the world. In the opening battle (called the Invasion of East Russia) between the two nations, Sonic Jr and Gemini's two families meet, and Sonic Jr and Gemini is forced to choose between siding with East Asia Federation, Confederation of South Asian Republics and United States of North America, United States of Europe and Oceanic Federation forces. In the Japanese Birthright and American Conquest routes, Sonic Jr and Gemini chooses either their hereditary or adopted family respectively. This causes them to be denounced by the other side, and they are gradually forced to fight them. In the Japanese Birthright route, Sonic Jr and Gemini helps their East Asian kin defend East Russia from invasion by Union States, European and Oceania armed forces.

Fire Emblem Awakening DLC
The game takes place in Planet Earth, approximately in the year of 1975. A millennium prior to the events of Awakening, when the nations of the continents were being formed, the Fell Dragon Grima attempted to destroy the world. To stop Grima, the Divine Dragon Naga chose the ruler of the Halidom of European Union and granted them power through two magical objects: Falchion, a sword with the power to slay dragons; and the Fire Emblem, a magical shield. Using these, the European Union struck down Grima, sending it into a long slumber. By the present time in planet Earth, which continues to worship London, and is ruled by Queen Emmeryn and defended by her brother Chrom of the European Union, which worships Grima; and Regna Ferox, a country whose rulers periodically fight for dominance. Fifteen years prior to Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice - Team Sonic's Awakening, United States of Europe and Central Asian Union waged a religious war, which greatly damaged Earth and left bitterness on both sides; Europe has slowly recovered from the war thanks to Emmeryn's peaceful actions.

After the end of World War III as Xander Bradley is the U.S. President replacing the late President Keegan Michael Richardson (Union States) (which is later assassinated by Validar who betrayed the United Nations and escapes to Central Asia), Ryoma Watanabe is the Prime Minister (Eastasia) and Sonic Jr (who mourned the loss of Gunter Houseman) and Gemini were the Presidents of United Nations which the nations of North America, Oceanic and Euroasia were formed, the amnesiac members of Team Sonic members, Knuckles and Tails (who is sent by Sonic Jr to avenge President Keegan Richardson's death) wakes up in the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and is found by Chrom and members of his personal army of European Union, the Shepherds. Knuckles and Tails joins the European Union, after exhibiting the qualities of a tactician when they defend a nearby town from Central Asian Union terrorists. After gaining an alliance with Regna Ferox, the Europeans move to fight both Central Asian Terrorists and revenant monsters called the Risen; they are helped by a masked woman calling herself "Marth" and later the retired Eggman Clone, who is a former antagonist turned the minor protagnist when he had a change of heart. After a confrontation between Central Asian Union and United States of Europe, Emmeryn is almost caught in a plot to assassinate her. The plot is foiled with aid from "Marth" and Eggman Clone, who has prior knowledge of the event. Soon after, Central Asian Union forces capture Emmeryn when she went to parley with Dictator Gangrel, Central Asian Union's ruler, and prevent another war.

Gangrel demands the Fire Emblem in exchange for Emmeryn's life. Though Chrom almost accepts Gangrel's terms, Emmeryn stops him by throwing herself over a cliff, becoming a martyr to both Central Asia and Europe. Eventually, Europeans triumph over Central Asia, defeating Gangrel and restoring peace to the Central Asian Union and European Union. Two years after Gangrel's defeat in Afghanistan, Chrom became the new President of the United States of Europe, marries, and fathers a newborn daughter named Lucina while Cynder Jr went into hiding. Chrom leads the Europeans again when Emperor Walhart of Central Asian Union threatens to invade Paris. During the campaign, "Marth" returns, and reveals that she is Lucina from an alternate timeline from more than 10 years in the future, where Grima has been resurrected. Lucina used a time traveling spell devised by Naga to return to the past and prevent the events leading to her future. To combat Grima, Chrom must perform the "Awakening", a ritual that grants him Naga's power, by combining the Fire Emblem with five magical gems divided among the nations. During and after the war in Valm, the European's manage to retrieve four of the gemstones. They are then ambushed by Validar, the former United Nations soldier, the new Dictator of Central Asian Union and Knuckles and Tails's father (who assassinated President Keegan Richardson during the U.N. Security Council), after he offers them the last gemstone. Validar takes control of Knuckles and Tails and steals the Fire Emblem from Chrom.

He also reveals that Knuckles and Tails was born as the ideal vessels for Grima. Lucina realizes Grima used Knuckles and Tails to kill Chrom in her timeline, and attempts to execute them; Chrom forces her to stand down, remaining confident Knuckles and Tails can overcome Grima's control. The Europeans manage to track down Validar, who uses Knuckles and Tails to attack Chrom. However, Knuckles and Tails (who were not ideal vessels for Grima, but Avatar Robin) uses their foreknowledge to prevent Chrom's death by betraying Validar and told him that he is not their father but a madman who wants power, allowing the Europeans to kill Validar, avenging President Keegan Richardson's death and recover the Fire Emblem while Cynder Jr (who works for the Dark Master Malefor and manage to revive the late Dark Master who is killed by the hands of Sonic Sr with the old Excalibur 42 years ago) escapes through the portal, however Sonic Sr II and Shadow Jr both chased after her through the portal after the death of Validar. At this point, the possessed Avatar named Robin from Lucina's future appears, revealing that both Knucles and Tails' amnesia was caused by Grima's unsuccessful attempt to possess them. The future Avatar then uses the power gathered for Grima's resurrection to restore its dragon form. In a race against time, Chrom performs the Awakening and summons Naga. Although Chrom now has the power to stop Grima, Naga reveals that she only has enough power to put Grima to sleep for another thousand years.

Naga explains that the only way to truly destroy Grima is to have him destroy himself through both Knuckles and Tails, which could come at cost of the Knuckles and Tails' lifes. Naga along with Mikoto, Scarlett, Mufasa, Sonic Sr and Cynder tells them that Knuckles and Tails will only survive if their bonds with Chrom and the Shepherds are strong enough. In the final battle, the Shepherds manage to weaken Grima, but Grima wounds both Tails and Knuckles. Chrom, already set against the sacrifice of Clone Eggman and later the deaths of both Knuckles and Tails, will attempt to deliver the final blow to the fell dragon, but Team Sonic members' wounded Tails and Knuckles (who were told by Clone Eggman to kill Grima, so he can sacrifice himself to save the Earth) stops Chrom from dealing the final blow and kill Grima and later sacrificing Eggman Clone, which causing him to vanish except Eggman Clone while Sonic Sr II and Shadow Jr both saves Cynder Jr by breaking over the spell by the resurrected Malefor thus avenging Guntar's death, destroys the portal with the grenade and escape back to New York City by the portal. After Grima's vanishment and Eggman Clone's Sacrifice, Tails and Knuckles dies from the wounds as well as descending into afterlife following the deaths after telling Chrom their last words to take the funerals of Tails and Knuckles to the United States in Arlington Cemetary. Chrom and the European Shepherds refuse to believe that Tails and Knuckles are both dead for the wounds that Grima caused, and vow to take the funerals of Tails and Knuckles back to United States in Arlington, Virginia and search the mothers Amy and Sticks who had their sons Sonic Jr II, Tails Jr, Knuckles Jr, Amy Jr, Sticks Jr and Gemini Jr in New York City.

In a pre-credits scene, Sonic Sr II, Shadow Jr and Cynder Jr returns to the New Dragon Temple in New York City where Terrador, Cyril and Volteer awaits and the ghost of Ignitus sees them. In a pre-credits scene, Adults Amy and Sticks along with their sons Sonic Jr II, Gemini Jr, Tails Jr, Knuckles Jr, Amy Jr and Sticks Jr lives in the Apartment Building in New York City, where Chrom and Lissa find them in the entrance and welcome them home.

Prologue
The story begins with about the original Ultraman's fame. 52 years later after the last death of Dr. Eggman, just before Sonic Jr (Adult voiced by Troy Baker and Young voiced by Kate Higgins) and Amy (Adult voiced by Amanda Leighton, Teen voiced by Cree Summer and Young voiced by Eden Riegel) went to Alaskan Frontier he tells his flashbacks from the previous games about his father. In March 23, 1925 where Sonic Sr (Old voiced by Barry Bostwick, Adult voiced by Robert Clotworthy, Teen voiced by Milo Gibson and Young voiced by Raymond Ochoa) is born, prophesized to bring hope to the world. During Sonic Sr's incubation, the Dragon Temple in Los Angeles was attacked by the forces of the Dark Master, who was intent on destroying all the dragon eggs to prevent Sonic Sr's birth. Ignitus, the Guardian of Fire (Adult voiced by Gary Oldman and Young voiced by Khary Payton), rescued the blue hedgehog's egg, and left it to drift down the Los Angeles Temple to Brooklyn Heights, hoping for the best. Sonic Sr's egg drifted down from Los Angeles to New York City and was soon discovered by a family of dragonflies, Nina (voiced by Karen Strassman) and Flash (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui. Upon hatching, Sonic Sr was adopted into the dragonfly family and raised as one of their own alongside Sparx (Old voiced by Wayne Brady, Adult voiced by André Sogliuzzo, Teen voiced by Yuri Lowenthal and Young voiced by Eden Riegel), a young dragonfly who was born the March 24, 1925.

Many years passed since Sonic Sr's birth. On 15 years fatefully in January 22, 1940 after the World War II began when Sonic Sr and Sparx were playing hide 'n' seek in Brooklyn, a group of Apes attacked the duo and Sparx was captured in the process. Sonic Sr disposed most of the group when Sparx gave the leader a sarcastic insult. The leader didn't take the insult very well and was about to kill Sparx. Sonic Sr, furious, unconsciously used his M1928 Thompson to fire on the leader, who promptly retreated report back to someone called Cynder. Sonic Sr dealt with the remaining Apes with the help of the NYPD (who killed the Ape terrorists) and freed Sparx from his 'lantern' cage. Upon returning to Brookyln Heights, he was told by his foster parents, Flash and Nina, that he was not a dragonfly, but a blue hedgehog from the city of Los Angeles. Sonic Sr decided to leave Brooklyn Heights and went to the New Temple in Manhattan. Sparx, though reluctant at first, decided to follow along. Sonic Sr was pursued by hostile forces, but eventually came into contact with a distraught Ignitus, who although pleased that Sonic Sr was alive, feared that with the Dragon Temple under occupation by the Apes, led by a large black dragon named Cynder (Old voiced by Jennifer Love Hewitt, Adult voiced by Yvette Nicole Brown, Teen voiced by Christina Ricci and Young voiced by Mae Whitman), their war was already lost, but the Allied Forces defeated them and end World War I which they banished her to the underground cave in Moscow. Sonic Sr convinced Ignitus to lead him to the Temple, and was able to drive Cynder's forces out, after which Ignitus told Sonic Sr more about their war against the Dark Armies, offered Sonic Sr some training in the art of fire, and then sent Sonic Sr off to fight World War II, Vietnam in the 1960s and Cold War in 1980s (Sonic Sr.'s partner Mason was killed by a ally Frank Woods before escaping to New York City who swears his revenge on Menendez (also voiced by André Sogliuzzo) for the deaths of Mason and Hudson). and later Assassinating Raul Menendez for Revenge in November 18, 1996 thus avenging Mason and Hudson just before entering the first retirement from the United States Marine Corps until two years.

Sonic Adventure re-telling
In September 25, 1999, Sonic Sr, (who returned home after entering the first retirement from the USMC), Sparx and Ignitus was just returning to the city of Chicago after being gone for a while on a long journey where he saw the Chicago PD SWAT and Illinois National Guardsmen fighting Chaos. Sonic Sr, Sparx and Ignitus stepped and defeated Chaos (vocal effects by Frank Welker), though it escaped. The next day, Sonic Sr., Sparx and Ignitus saw Tails' (Adult voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Teen voiced by Aria Noelle Curzon and Young voiced by Michelle Ruff) crash in his plane nearby and came to his aid. The fox took Sonic Sr, Sparx and Ignitus to see a plane he was working on, powered by a Chaos Emerald, but at the workshop Dr. Eggman (voiced by Paul Giamatti) appeared to take the Emerald. Though the duo beat Eggman and his Egg Hornet, Eggman snatched the Chaos Emerald and revealed Chaos, whom he transformed into Chaos 1 with the Emerald and told his plan to make it invincible with all seven Chaos Emeralds and then build Robotnikland upon the ruins of Chicago. As Eggman fled, but was stopped by Ignitus (who foiled Eggman's plan and arrested for destroying the Master Emerald), he told Sonic Sr and Sparx to set out with Tails to get the Chaos Emeralds while Dr. Eggman is in custody to the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.

Sonic Sr, Sparx and Tails soon got two Emeralds, only for Eggman (who escaped Guantanamo Bay Naval Base) to briefly knock them out with sleeping gas and steal one. Unshaken, Sonic Sr, Sparx and Tails soon found another Chaos Emerald, when they were attacked by Knuckles (voiced by Keith David), who had been tricked by Eggman into believing Sonic Sr had Master Emerald Shards. Sonic Sr fought Knuckles until he dropped the Chaos Emeralds, which were then taken by Eggman and given to Chaos 2, transforming it into Chaos 4. After Sonic Sr., Ignitus and the others beat it, Eggman escaped to his Egg Carrier. Sonic Sr, Ignitus and Tails tried followed him in the Tornado, but were shot down except Ignitus who destroyed Egg Carrier's Cannon and pursuited him. Back on the ground in New York City, Sonic Sr began looking for Tails as well as Ignitus, but met Amy who wanted him to her protect a Flickey (vocal effects by Colleen O'Shaughnessey). Despite Sonic Sr refusing, Amy followed him until they were attacked by ZERO (voiced by Liam O'Brien), who soon kidnapped Amy but the NY National Guard and the NYPD ESU arrives to interfere the robot. Sonic Sr followed them to South America as ZERO fled to the Egg Carrier until he reached a dead end, but then met Tails in the Tornado 2 who got them onboard the Egg Carrier after they reunited with Ignitus. When they found Amy with Eggman however, Sonic Sr was attacked by E-102 Gamma (voiced by Steven Blum), but before Sonic Sr could destroy Gamma, Amy convinced him to let it go. As the Egg Carrier began to crash in the Atlantic Ocean, Sonic Sr had Tails get Amy to safety to New York City while he followed Eggman.

Eventually, Sonic Sr., Sparx and Ignitus found Eggman with Chaos 6, just as Big the Cat (voiced by Keegan-Michael Key) showed up to save Froggy (also vocal effects by Frank Welker) who was trapped inside Chaos. After saving Froggy, Sonic Sr, Ignitus and Sparx defeated Chaos 6, but as Eggman escaped before he was mortally wounded by Ignitus, Knuckles showed up, whom Sonic Sr and Sparx left Chaos to while he and Spar followed wounded Eggman. On the way, Sonic Sr and Sparx found an ancient temple with a mural depicting a monster on the inside and a mysterious light (voiced by Erica Lindbeck) which took him back in time to see the Altar of the Emeralds in ruins and Tikal trying to stop a catastrophe. Back in the present, Sonic Sr found wounded Eggman and beat him for good before reuniting with Tails again.

While trying to rest, Sonic Sr had to head out when Tails reported that Angel Island had fallen. There, they found both Knuckles and Eggman (who died after warned Knuckles), and learned that Chaos was still alive, had rebelled against the deceased Eggman to destroy the world, and possessed six Chaos Emeralds. As they were heading out get the last Emerald before Chaos, Sonic Sr, Sparx and Ignitus was drawn into the past again, where he saw the Knuckles Clan's attack on the altar and Tikal sealing herself and Chaos inside the Master Emerald. Back in the present, Sonic Sr, Ignitus, Sparx, and Tails found the Chaos Emerald in the Tornado 2, but lost it to Chaos, who became Perfect Chaos and attacked the city of Chicago. As Perfect Chaos destroy the Egg Carrier 2 as well as the U.S. Air Force Apache Helicopeters, Tikal came to Sonic Sr to explain that Chaos was blinded by wrath. After Perfect Chaos released the drained Chaos Emeralds, Tikal wanted to seal Chaos again, but Sonic Sr said it would not work as Chaos would still be full of rage. Sonic Sr's friends then came with the Chaos Emeralds, claiming that he and Ingitus both could still use their positive energy. Both transforming into Super Sonic Sr and Ultra Ignitus, Sonic Sr and Ignitus defeated Perfect Chaos while neutralizing its anger. As Chaos and Tikal departed, Sonic Sr noticed where Eggman was buried in Los Angeles Cemetary and decided to head off with Ignitus for his next adventure.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) re-telling
Fifteen years after the end of Cold War and nine years after the assassination of Raul Menendez, Sonic Sr returns home back to San Francisco only to be found by Terra (voiced by Joaquin Phoenix) and Aqua (voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard) who offered him to join S.H.I.E.L.D. rather than for the second retirement. One year later in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Base, Terra and Aqua take an exam to achieve the Mark of Mastery. Master Xehanort (voiced by Paul St. Peter) manipulates the test so only Aqua passes and Terra fails, lessening the control of darkness in his heart. Shortly after the test, Xehanort disappears and a horde of mysterious creatures called the Unversed begin to appear throughout the major cities in pursuit of the Princesses of Light. Learning about the developments from Yen Sid (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) in the city of Chicago, Master Eraqus (voiced by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) sends Terra and Aqua to destroy the Unversed and find Xehanort throughout the major cities in the world. Later, Xehanort's apprentice Vanitas (also voiced by Troy Baker) convinces Sonic Sr to follow Terra to New York City against Eraqus' wish when the Festival of the Sun is began, while Eraqus orders Aqua to watch over Terra and bring Sonic Sr back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Base in San Francisco. Twenty minutes later, Sonic Sr (who is searched for Terra) visited New York City during a festival where he saved their monarch Princess Elise (Adult voiced by Hayden Panettiere and Young voiced by Eva Bella) from Dr. Eggman who returned from the exile and was also after the Flames of Disaster known as Iblis to help him rule the world which was sealed inside Elise and later killed General Scott Dolph (voiced by Phil LaMarr). As Sonic Sr brought Elise to safety, he got distracted by Eggman's mechs and Eggman kidnapped Elise and escaped, though not before Sonic Sr received her Chaos Emerald, but the American Soldiers fired on Eggman until Sonic Sr told them to seize fire and contact the U.S. President Charles Jackson (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson).

Determined to save Elise, Sonic Sr teamed up with Tails the next day, went to London until they were meet by Peter Pan (voiced by Johnny Yong Bosh) who take them to Never Land. Later they would tried to catch the Egg Carrier at Never Land after defeating Captain Hook (voiced by Kaiji Tang) who is chased by Tick-Tock the Crocodile (also vocal effects by Frank Welker) before he head back to Hook's ship, but failed. But before returning to New York City, they were transported to the Yen Sid's Tower in Chicago by using Mickey's (also voiced by Yuri Lowenthal) Star Shard before they were found by Donald (voiced by Tony Anselmo) and Goofy (voiced by Bill Farmer). After returning from Yen Sid's Tower in Chicago, Sonic Sr and Tails learned Elise was in Egypt along with King Mickey. There, they found Elise and King Mickey only for Eggman to attack them with the Egg Cerberus (also vocal effects by Frank Welker). After Sonic Sr destroyed it, Sonic Sr escaped Eggman's forces with Elise by letting Tails create a diversion with the help of Aqua, but not before sending Mickey to Paris (who is saved by Aqua and taken back to Yen Sid's Tower in Chicago) and also saving the two Dragon Guardians Cyril (voiced by Roger Craig Smith) and Volteer (Adult voiced by Travis Willingham and Young voiced by Jim Cummings). As they escaped, Elise treated Sonic Sr's injuries (who is wounded during the escape) and apologized for them, but Sonic Sr insisted her smile was all he needed. Sonic Sr was then filled in on the Flames of Disaster and Solaris (Soleanna's sun god) by Elise, who grew worried of what Eggman would do with it. However, Sonic Sr cheered her up with a run along with Cyril and Volteer and gave her some advice with Cyril and Volteer to go by which was located in the heart of Sydney, Australia.

Later in the city of Sydney with Elise, Cyril and Volteer, Sonic Sr was attacked by Silver the Hedgehog (voiced by Will Friedle), who claimed that Sonic Sr would destroy his world but Cyril and Volteer intervened and told Silver that Sonic Sr would never do that and ordered him to disobey Mephiles' order in which he refused. Sonic Sr initially had the upper hand, but Silver caught him off-guard and incapacitated him. Meanwhile, Sonic Sr saw Eggman kidnap Elise again, but was unable to save her. Luckily, Sonic Sr was saved when Amy stopped Silver, and he went to warn Eraqus in San Francisco, where Eraqus plans to betray Ventus when he refused to tell that Silver is trying to kill Sonic Sr. Terra arrives to save Sonic Sr and fights with Eraqus. Upon his defeat for his treachery, Eraqus is vanquished by Xehanort, who destroys the S.H.I.E.L.D. Base and tells Terra to go to the city of Los Angeles. Sonic Sr returned from San Francisco and reunited with Cyril and Volteer before they met up with Tails and Knuckles, who gave him a message from Eggman demanding Sonic Sr’s Chaos Emerald in exchange for Elise. Despite knowing that Cyril and Volteer told Sonic Sr that it would be a trap in which he ignored and told to return to the New Dragon Temple in which Cyril and Volteer both accepts it, Sonic Sr, Tails and Knuckles arrived at Siberian Mountains in Russia, where Sonic Sr gave Eggman the Chaos Emerald, but was tricked and sent to the future by Eggman's machine with his friends and the mission ends with a failure. After Team Sonic's failed attempt to rescue Princess Elise, U.S. President Charles Jackson orders to sent the U.S. Navy SEALs to hunt down Eggman, avenge Scott Dolph's death and rescued Princess Elise in Siberian Russia and returns to New York City in United States.

Arriving in the Pride Lands after Mufasa's (voiced by Gary Anthony Williams) death in which Scar (voiced by James Horan) became King, Sonic Sr, Tails and Knuckles encounter Shadow (voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch) and Rouge (also voiced by Karen Strassman), who are also trapped in the Pride Lands. In order to return to the present, they need to create a rift in time and space, which they figure can be created if Sonic Sr and Shadow use Chaos Control together. While searching for Chaos Emeralds, Sonic Sr, Tails and Knuckles encounter Silver, his friend Blaze (voiced by Helena Bonham Carter), and Mephiles (also voiced by Keith David), a dark being who resembles Shadow, tells Silver that Sonic Sr is the one responsible for the future's devastation, and takes them back in time to kill Sonic Sr until he is betrayed by Silver (who is told by Terra to disobey Mephiles' order) and Blaze who disobeyed him two days later. Sonic Sr learns from a computer file that Elise was killed when Sergei executed her for a treason two days after the Festival of the Sun in New York City. After retrieving a pair of Chaos Emeralds, Sonic Sr and Shadow create the space-time rift, allowing them to return to the present after Eggman's death and Sergei (voiced by Samuel E. Wright) leds his mercenaries to capture Elise before were attacked by Cynder shortly after he rescues the final Dragon Guardian, Terrador (also voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) and Simba (Adult voiced by Rob Lowe and Young voiced by Raymond Ochoa) became the King of the Pride Lands after overthrow Scar who he is now eaten alive by Hyenas (Shenzi voiced by Audrey Wasilewski, Banzai voiced by Carlos Alazraqui and Ed's vocal effects by Travis Willingham) after the battle with Simba which end with his defeat; Ignitus intervenes to fight Cynder but is kidnapped.

It is revealed that it was the four dragons who originally sealed away the Dark Master, and that Cynder is using the dragons' drained powers to open the seal. In Silver's future, Shadow faces Mephiles, and learns that in the future he was imprisoned by Omega (voiced by Mel Gibson), blamed for the destruction in which he refused to be blamed and defeats Mephiles with the help of Omega. Shadow and Omega then return to the present-day. Sonic Sr returns to Brooklyn Bridge to look for Elise, but is once again attacked by Silver, also allowing Sergei to kidnap Elise yet again and Sonic Sr orders the U.S. Marines to fire on Silver but Silver wiped the Marines out. Fortunately, Terra stops Silver from killing Sonic Sr and tells him to disobey Mephiles' obey in which Silver accepts him and goes to Times Square to find and disobey Mephiles, allowing Sonic Sr to rescue Elise, But before he returns her to Liberty Island in New York Harbor, he was contacted by Mickey to meet in Never Land. After Never Land, Sonic Sr sent Shadow to Egypt to confront Xehanort, who instructs him to destroy Vanitas, the source of the Unversed created from the darkness extracted from Shadow' heart. Xehanort sends Shadow to the Enchanted Dominion, where Shadow finds Maleficent (voiced by Susanne Blakeslee) and later meet Silver (who helped Flora (voiced by Barbara Dirickson), Fauna (voiced by Laura Bailey) and Merryweather (voiced by Tress MacNeille) to free Aurora's (voiced by Kate Higgins) heart) in the Dark Castle in five minutes later. After the battle, Shadow and Silver travel ten years into the past and learn Iblis (also voiced by Fred Tatasciore) and Mephiles are parts of the Duke of Soleanna's (voiced by David Ogden Stiers) project to harness the power of the city's god Solaris.

The Duke gives Shadow the Scepter of Darkness, which he uses to seal Mephiles, while Silver and the Duke seals Iblis into a young Elise's tears, the dying Duke asks his daughter not to cry for her tears could release Iblis just before United States Army General Scott Dolph came and adopt her as an adoptive sister of United States. Ten years later in New York City, Sergei and his Russian Troops arrives in his battleship and threatens to destroy New York City, Elise willingly surrenders herself to him to protect her people. But Americans refused to surrender and fires on the Russians after Elise surrenders herself to Sergei. Sergei explains to Elise that in order for his plan to take over the world to work, he requires the seven Chaos Emeralds and the dormant power of the Flames of Disaster within Elise to awaken Solaris (also voiced by Fred Tatasciore), allowing him to harness the sun god's power over time. Shadow is similarly instructed to do the same by Vanitas, as is Sonic Sr by Yen Sid, who informs him about Solaris before going to save Elise. On his way to rescue Elise, Sonic Sr encounters Silver (who disobey Mephiles' order) once more who, instead of attacking him, expresses concern for Elise as well. The two hedgehogs team up, but before they reach the battleship, it went to the Russian Federation, just as Sonic Sr feared while back at the future. However, Sonic Sr and Silver realize they can use Chaos Control to travel back in time to the previous day, but instead Sonic Sr goes on the Blackhawk Helicopter with Navy SEALs and reunites with Elise after the execution is interrupted and the plan was foiled. Later, Cynder betrays Sergei which she deals to bring back the Dark Master. Ignitus's power is the final key in unsealing the Dark Master, so Sonic is sent the American Forces on a final, direct assault against Russian Base in Moscow. Sonic Sr attempts to fight Cynder, but Cynder succeeds in draining Ignitus's power of fire into a crystal, and escapes to the sealed realm of the Dark Master but not before he blames Cynder for the draining of Dragon Guardians' power.

During the fight, Sonic Sr had noticed there was something familiar in Cynder's eyes. Ignitus then tells Sonic Sr the rest of the story of what happened the night of the attack on the temple. After sending Sonic Sr's egg down from Los Angeles to New York City, Ignitus had returned to see that the Dark Master's forces had destroyed the brood of eggs before the Los Angeles Police Officers and American Military Soldiers kills the Dark Master's forces, except one - for only a dragon born in the Year of the Dragon can open the portal and release the Dark Master: Cynder, who had been transformed by the Dark Master's sinister powers. Ignitus fears that it is too late to stop her, but Sonic Sr told him to take Elise back to the Untied States before pursuing Cynder and forces a showdown, eventually using all of his power in a final attack which defeats her, purging her of the Dark Master's influence and returning her to her true form, a young dragon the same size as Sonic Sr. The realm begins to collapse in on itself; Sparx insists on making a quick exit but Sonic Sr declares he will not leave Cynder behind with the Dark Master; though barely, Sonic Sr is able to grab Cynder after he used the M67 grenade to destroy the Dark Master's portal as well as the crystal, thus foiling her plan to free the Dark Master and escape safely to the exit while Ignitus takes Elise to escape from the exploding Russian Base and makes it back to Siberian Russian Heights before taking her, Sonic Sr, Cynder and Sparx back to New York City.

After Cynder's defeat, Mephiles (who is betrayed by Silver and Blaze who disobeyed his order twenty mintues ago) is seen sporting an evil look as he finally seems prepared to merge with Iblis and destroy the world before helping Xehanort and Vanitas. Using his Purple Emerald, Mephiles blinds Sonic Sr and Elise, who were reunited by Terra and Aqua in the New York City from where Sonic Sr's storyline left off. When they are confronted by Xehanort, Vanitas and Mephiles, they fought in the New York Streets and after the fight with Xehanort, Vanitas and Mephiles, he launches an energy beam that impales Sonic Sr through the back, killing him instantly, U.S. National Guardsmen and the U.S. Army tries to kill Mephiles and avenging Sonic Sr's death, but Mephiles pushed back. Elise frantically attempts to revive Sonic Sr, but upon discovering that he is indeed dead, she cries in despair, releasing Iblis. At this point, Mephiles absorbs Iblis, mutates into a monster known as Solaris and then creates his own world to destroy time itself. Continuing from where Shadow's story ended, he and his friends recover from their battle with the Mephiles clones and Shadow notices the Green and Yellow Chaos Emeralds that Mephiles left behind. These create a blinding flash that send Shadow, Rouge and Omega to the time-space rift formed by Solaris. Meanwhile, in New York City, Amy, Tails and Knuckles notice a large bright light that engulfs Manhattan. When the light fades, they realize that they have also been transported to the rift where all of the previous levels in the game exist. Amy is the first to spot Silver, who has been teleported here as well by the Chaos Emeralds that Blaze used to seal Iblis within her. Everyone notices that they have all been brought to this strange place, even the ghost of Dr. Eggman appeared to them. As they try to understand what was happening, Dr. Eggman's Ghost (also voiced by Paul Giamatti) reveals that Iblis' seal has been broken.

It is then that they turn and see Elise, cradling Sonic's body in her arms. After a few realizations, Eggman's Ghost reveals that Solaris is about to bring about the end of the world by destroying time itself, and that, being a transcendental life form, it cannot be defeated in the present as it exists in all timelines, so defeating it in the present would return to normal. Silver refuses to give up, and suggests that they team up and destroy Solaris in the past, present and future all at once, but Shadow quickly shoots that possibility down, stating that, with Sonic Sr dead, Solaris is completely unstoppable. With Amy upset over Sonic Sr's death and their impending doom, Elise recognizes a familiar wind in the air that makes her come to believe that Sonic Sr may not be entirely dead yet. Silver, furthering Elise's observations, explains that they can use the Chaos Emeralds to revive him. After a lengthy search on the part of Tails, Omega, Knuckles, Silver, Rouge, Amy, and Shadow along with Simba, Terrador, Cyril, Nala (also voiced by Gabrielle Union), Timon (voiced by Kevin Schon), Pumbaa (voiced by Ernie Sabella), Cinderella (voiced by Courtnee Draper), Prince Charming (also voiced by Troy Baker), Snow White (voiced by Carolyn Gardner), Princess Aurora, Peter Pan, Prince Philip (also voiced by Roger Craig Smith), Flora, Fauna, Merryweather, Belle (voiced by Emma Watson), Beast (voiced by Robby Benson), Volteer, Zazu (voiced by Jeff Bennett), Lumiere (voiced by Ewan McGregor), Cogsworth (voiced by Ian McKellen), Jaq (voiced by Rob Paulsen), Terra, Aqua, Ignitus and Sparx, they find the Chaos Emeralds and revive Sonic Sr, with Elise's kiss transforming him into Super Sonic Sr with Keyblade Armor. Super Sonic Sr uses his power to transform Shadow and Silver into their Super States. Together, the three hedgehogs fight Solaris. The three use Chaos Control on Solaris causing the monster to be torn apart in a time loop.

Sonic Sr, now back to normal, travels with Elise to a point in the past where they find the "Flames of Disaster" and its birth. Elise realizes that if she puts out the Flames, Solaris will never exist. But before restoring back to the present day America after Eggman's death, Terra's heart is swallowed by darkness in the ensuing battle and Xehanort takes over his body (voiced by James Horan), but Terra's mind remains within his discarded suit of armor, which comes to life and defeats Xehanort while Shadow is forced to be possessed by Vanitas to create the χ-blade. Aqua, Sonic Sr, Silver and Mickey fight with the possessed Shadow after Sonic Sr and Aqua defeated Braig (also voiced by James Horan), while Shadow engages Vanitas in a metaphysical battle within his own mind. Sonic Sr and Aqua destroys the χ-blade as Shadow defeats Vanitas, though Shadow sacrificed himself for the fate of all worlds as a result after removing Inhibitor Rings and gives the rings to her. After learning of Shadow's fate, she, Sonic Sr, Aqua and Mickey will never meet each other, which Sonic Sr and Aqua confirms. Overcome with despair, Elise begins to cry and shouts that she does not care what happens to the world as long as she and Sonic Sr are friends but Aqua told her to cheer up in which she refused. Though Sonic Sr is clearly unhappy about this as well, he tells Elise to just smile and manages to convince her to abandon their meeting. She confidently puts out the Flames, eliminating Solaris from existence once and for all. Though victorious, the battle cost Sonic Sr much of his own strength and powers as the time restores back to the present day America after Eggman's death.

Elise is in her boat waving the audience as Sonic Sr runs through the public, the "wind" of his speed making Elise lose one of the feathers in her hair. A maid (voiced by Erica Lindbeck) asks her if everything is alright, and Elise says that she thought someone was calling her while the ghost of Scott Dolph watches her. Another maid (also voiced by Kate Higgins) replies that it's just the wind, and Elise says that it might be, but that it felt familiar somehow, and smiles, apparently knowing who it was. She leaves New York City to Soleanna in England as Sonic Sr watches from the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. Sonic Sr watching Elise's feather flying into the night, also smiling and Sonic Sr reuniting with Cynder for a suspect that the Dark Master is still alive somewhere; the war is still far from over. In a post-credits scene sets in three days later in San Francisco, new S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) (who replaces Master Eraqus) visits Sonic Sr and Cynder (who both returned home from New York City after he defeated Solaris with the help of Silver and Shadow), telling him that Sonic the Hedgehog Sr is not "the only superhero in the world", and explaining that he and Cynder wants to discuss the "Avenger Initiative".

Sonic Unleashed re-telling
During that time period in December 25, 2007, he began to having recurring nightmares, one of them of his final battle against Cynder in Convexity, until he was woken up by Sparx one night. When Sparx noted he could finally sleep due to Cynder leaving the temple, Sonic Sr followed after her. Sonic Sr trailed Cynder through the Los Angeles Streets surrounding the old Dragon Temple and caught up to her; he asked her that she's not guilty for taking over the world 90 years ago. Despite Sonic Sr's plea, instead he drop charges against her and released Cynder to go to Central Park thus Cynder's not guilty, saying she didn't want to cause pain and suffering to anyone, especially Sonic Sr When Sonic Sr was about to return to New Temple in New York City, he collapsed and found himself in a dream void. A mysterious voice emitted in his dream, helping Sonic Sr regain his Fire element and showing him a vision of a great tree. After Sonic Sr woke up, an Ape army attacked the old Temple in Los Angeles. Once Sonic Sr allied the U.S. National Guard and L.A.P.D. Officers repelled the attack, Ignitus tried to locate Cynder, but instead found a vision of Sonic Sr at the base of a great tree. Sonic Sr claimed that he kept seeing haunting visions of a mountain draped in shadow and darkness beneath the two moons. Terrador realized that that mountain was the Mountain of Malefor. Sonic Sr also claimed that a voice, called the Chronicler (voiced by Martin Jarvis), came to his dream and showed him that tree. The Guardians were shocked, and Ignitus told Sonic Sr that the Chronicler is an ancient dragon of immeasurable wisdom and was often interwoven with tales of doom. The Guardians became increasingly worried about the Celestial Moons coming into an eclipse and felt that they were no longer safe at the Old Temple in L.A.. Ignitus sent Volteer and Cyril to the Sydney to learn what news they could, and sent Terrador to New York City to warn everyone living there about the darkness spreading in the mountain, while Ignitus stayed behind to search for Cynder before he sent by Ignitus to defend the Earth by confronting his new nemesis, General Jehan Frollo (also voiced by Robert Clotworthy), on the late Eggman's flagship. In January 14, 2008 at the Earth's orbit, Jehan Frollo then activated the ships defense systems, activating the cannons and bringing forth a horde of Egg Fighters. After seeing the obstacles, Sonic Sr boosted forward and began dodging the batteries fired from the cannons. bounding across the flagship, General Jehan Frollo brought forth with the late Eggman's Mech and unleashed a flurry of machine gun fire.

After running across the ceiling while dodging missiles, Sonic Sr ran through the Flagship's hallway. General Jehan Frollo fired his Mech's grappling hook-like arm and grabbed Sonic Sr. After being pulled to Frollo in the Mech's grasp, Sonic Sr summoned the Chaos Emeralds from within himself and became Super Sonic Sr in order to stop him, destroying Frollo's mech, Jenah Frollo fled in old Egg Mobile and fled from his Flagship. After chasing Jehan Frollo through space and destroying half of his fleet, they finally arrived at General Jehan Frollo's Research Facility and knocking Jehan Frollo himself to the ground. As a trap, General Jehan Frollo pretends to plead for mercy. When Sonic Sr is close enough, he activates the Chaos Energy Cannon, which traps Sonic Sr in the center and begins drawing the Chaos energy out of Sonic Sr and the Emeralds in a fashion that is clearly extremely painful for him. After the weapon is charged, Jehan Frollo tried to fire a laser at the City of Tokyo in Earth to wake a monster known as Dark Gaia (voiced by Idris Elba), splitting the planet, but was betrayed and killed by Revolver Ocelot (also voiced by Troy Baker). The dark energy of the Emeralds is brought out by the ray, but was destroyed by Ocelot with the Colt Revolver while transforming Sonic Sr into a monstrous version of himself (also voiced by Fred Tatasciore) and rendering the Chaos Emeralds gray and powerless. Revolver Ocelot then detonates the space station which Sonic Sr takes the drained Emeralds to the Escape pod which sent into space and down to Planet Earth. While Sonic Sr's escape pod is saved from a fatal landing due to an unknown energy source, he still ends up taking a heavy fall. After pushing the escape pod door of the road in Central London who was found by Sparx, Sonic Sr and Sparx encounters a flying dog-like creature. Sonic Sr and Sparx then asks the creature what his name was and the creature couldn't remember his own name or history (which Sonic Sr thinks he landed on him with the escape pod, causing the memory loss). Sonic Sr and Sparx agrees to help Chip restore his memory during their journey.

After exploring the city of London, Sonic Sr and Sparx names the creature Chip (voiced by Robbie Daymond) and the three run into Tails at night. Tails immediately recognizes Sonic even though he is in his Werehog form and reveals that President Pickle (voiced by Giancarlo Esposito) of Washington, D.C. may be able to help them on their adventure. Once they reach Washington, D.C., they discover kidnapped President Pickle for his knowledge on Dark Gaia. After traveling to Tanzania and freeing him but was mortally wounded by Ocelot and he dies. When Ocelot is trying to escape, but was stopped by Sonic Sr and Ocelot's right arm began to spasm. In that moment, he started to talk like Liquid Snake, taunting his brother. It is revealed that Ocelot received a new arm after Lava Shelter, that of the late Liquid Snake (also voiced by Liam O'Brien), which caused a change in Revolver Ocelot's demeanor and behavior, with Liquid somehow possessing him. "Liquid" told Sonic Sr that he was "drowning in time" (referring to the accelerated aging process) in which he refused, and that Liquid avoided this fate by living on through the transplanted arm. Under Liquid's control, Ocelot escaped from Tanzania to Ruined Tokyo (which known as Eggmanland), Japan with Metal Gear RAY (also vocal effects by Fred Tatasciore). George W. Bush (voiced by Mark Hamill) returns to Washington as the New President of the United States. In Washington, D.C., Sonic Sr, Sparx and Chip run into Amy at night and tells her that President Henry Pickle is dead in Tanzania, she doesn't recognize Sonic Sr in his Werehog form. He tells President Geogle W. Bush to set out the seven Gaia Temples to restore the Emeralds and reassemble the planet. He later saves Amy from Dark Gaia's influence and she, upon learning her savior's identity, decides to help Sonic Sr and President George W. Bush. All the while, Revolver Ocelot who allied with the new Russian General Gaul (voiced by Dave Fennoy) makes plans to reassemble Dark Gaia and finish Eggmanland just before the continent restored and the American and Japanese Forces destroys Eggmanland and rebuilt Tokyo. Together he joined Solid Snake (voiced by Kiefer Sutherland) and Raiden (voiced by D.B. Sweeney) to save continents. Meanwhile in South Africa, as Sonic Sr and Solid Snake searches for the tree, he also searches for another dragon known as the Chronicler, who asked Sonic Sr in the same vision to find him. When he finds the tree, it suddenly turns into a tree monster known as Arborick (vocal effects by Dee Bradley Baker) and attacks Sonic Sr. After Arborick is defeated, Sonic Sr travels to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to tell the ghost of Mufasa, later after Sonic Sr speaks to Mufasa, he is captured by pirates for the 1st time, and is taken onboard their ship to take part in gladiatorial combat. After Sonic Sr defeats a third enemy in the arena, he is made to fight Cynder, whom the pirates captured as well. Before they can think of a plan to escape together, the pirate ship is suddenly attacked by the apes, who capture Cynder.

After Sonic Sr escapes the ship he discovers that the Apes have established a base on the Mountain of Malefor, also known as the Well Of Souls, in an effort to revive the Dark Master using a lunar alignment called the Night of Eternal Darkness. He also discovers that they are keeping Cynder prisoner hoping to turn her to their side. Sonic eventually finds the Chronicler, who tells him about the Dark Master. According to him, the Dark Master was the first purple dragon; his raw power allowed him to master practically every elemental power. When his growth failed to stop, he was exiled and sealed away by the dragon elders, but not before he taught the Apes how to use dragon magic. The Chronicler wants Sonic to hide from the Dark Master until a later time, but Sonic insists on going to Cynder’s aid. During the restoration of the sixth Chaos Emerald and continent, it's revealed that Chip is in fact Light Gaia, the opposite of Dark Gaia, and he lost his memories because, like Dark Gaia, he was prematurely awakened by Frollo's laser when Frollo started the Time of Awakening before he was betrayed and killed by Revolver Ocelot aka Liquid Ocelot, where Chip and Dark Gaia was meant to awaken, too early; likewise, Dark Gaia has not yet been fully reborn due to his premature awakening, and Sonic Sr and Solid Snake must stop Revolver Ocelot/Liquid Ocelot before Dark Gaia's full powers return to its normal state. At this point, Sonic Sr and Solid Snake travels to the location of the last temple, over which Revolver Ocelot has built Eggmanland using an extraction of Dark Gaia's power. While Sonic Sr and Snake is able to restore the last emerald and defeat Metal Gear RAY, Dark Gaia becomes complete, by draining the dark energy that Sonic Sr had that turned him into Werehog when Revolver Ocelot/Liquid Ocelot with Metal Gear RAY retreats as the Monster keeps the power for itself but not before telling Snake to get back to the surface. Sonic Sr is too weak to move so Chip uses the Gaia Temples to form a body called Gaia Colossus to combat Dark Gaia with, Sonic Sr recovers on the Gaia Colossus and helps Chip fight Dark Gaia. Chip and Sonic Sr hold off the beast, but Dark Gaia manages to drown the planet in darkness, achieving its fully-matured form in the process. Sonic Sr then transforms into Super Sonic Sr using the seven Chaos Emeralds and takes Perfect Dark Gaia down with the help of Gaia Colossus, but the battle leaves him too drained of his energy to escape. As the final continent moves back into place, Chip flings Sonic Sr back onto the surface to Los Angeles but Sonic Sr was captured by Gaul a second time and taken to the ruined Moscow Base in Russia while he remains behind and U.S. Army Forces and J.S.D.F. Armed Forces raided and destroyed Eggmanland and rebuilt the city of Tokyo.

After Dark Gaia's defeat and last continent was restored, Gaul, the Ape King, orders Cynder to attack Sonic Sr. When she attacks Gaul instead, he knocks her out and challenges Sonic Sr himself. During the fight, the lunar alignment occurs, and the evil energy it generates is channeled through Sonic Sr, which turns Sonic Sr into Dark Sonic Sr. He uses his immense power to turn Gaul to stone then blast his body apart, killing him, then leaps back into the beam of evil energy. Cynder awakens and knocks Sonic Sr out of the beam, freeing him from the beam's power. When the alignment passes, the ruined base begins to crumble around Sonic Sr, Sparx, and Cynder. Remembering the Chronicler's words about riding out the storm, Sonic Sr uses his powers to encase himself, Cynder, and Sparx in crystal to protect them as the ruined Russian Base collapses.

Sonic Lost World re-telling
5 years later after Sonic Sr's encasement, within the remains of the ruined Russian Base in the city of Moscow, Sonic Sr, Sparx and Cynder were released from their five year-long slumber by a group of Grublins (voiced by Keegan-Michael Key and Steven Blum), who chained the dragoness and the Hedgehog together with an invisible string generated by two glowing snakes around their necks. They were immediately dragged away to the Ruins of San Francisco (which is later destroyed by Malefor before the game began) afterwards to be sacrificed to an earth Golem (also vocal effects by Fred Tatasciore) under Malefor's orders. Sonic Sr and Cynder soon awakened and found themselves chained to the floor of a large platform within the Ruins of San Francisco, where they were attacked by the Grublins and the massive Golem. The dragoness and the hedgehog couldn't fight the Golem while being tethered together until Sonic Sr transforms into Darkspine Sonic Sr which destroyed the glowing snake before a cheetah warrior, Hunter (voiced by Blair Underwood), sent the monster off in a painful retreat after he shot it in the eye. Hunter then revealed that Ignitus sent him to find Sonic Sr and Cynder five years ago, much to their disbelief. They narrowly escaped the ruins of San Francisco, ripping off the Golem's arm in the process. On the way the journey to New York City, Hunter told them that the Dark Master, Malefor, had returned and covered the land in shadow, having reclaimed the Old Dragon Temple in Los Angeles and had been at war with the United States and Allied Nations ever since.

After hearing this, Sonic Sr began to tell the spirit of Mufasa by apoligizing for failing to come back to the others sooner and letting the inhabitants down when Malefor returned. He was reassured by Cynder that some things were beyond his control. Suddenly, the journey to New York City was interrupted and they were taken captive by British Royal Marines, with Chief Prowlus (also voiced by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), the leader of the British Armed Forces, who didn't trust Dragons due to Malefor and Cynder when she was under the latter's control, but Sonic Sr told Prowlus that he dared to interrupt the journey to New York City and told him that she is not under the latter's control and needs to trust the Americans in which Chief Prowlus accepts the trust. After saving London from Grublins, Sonic Sr and Cynder convinced Prowlus that they weren't evil by saving a missing villager named Meadow. Hunter proceeded to lead them through the Forbidden Passage which leads back to New York City. While Copy Sonic (voiced by Mark Wahlberg) battles his way throughout the Lost Hex, Deadly Six sent Jean-killer (voiced by Dan Stevens) to fight Ultimate Force Zero (Mirror Knight voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, Glen Fire voiced by Hakeem Kae-Kazim and Ultraman Zero voiced by Matthew Mercer) and they were easily defeated, brainwashed and with red eyes Jean-bot (also voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) arrived and attacks Copy Sonic, Tails and Raiden, Copy Sonic tried to hold him off with Litra (also vocal effects by Frank Welker) as Gomora (also vocal effects by Frank Welker) hasn't healed from the damage, with Litra defeated and Jean-bot was going to kill Litra, Tails stands before Jean-bot then orders him to stop as Jean-bot held his attack and Jean-killer also heard his voice and stopped attacking Ultimate Force Zero then paid attention at Tails and his eye began to turn from red to yellow but it stop turning at all as it is the moment that Glen Fire attacks him again.

After Jean-Bot is freed from brainwashing by Tails, the Deadly Six and Desperado concoct a plan to capture Copy Sonic and turn him into a robot under their control, but they end up accidentally capturing Tails instead. After Tails is accidentally captured, Copy Sonic and Raiden meets an orphan named George (voiced by Zachary Gordon), and learns that George was at the facility to have his brain—along with the brains of several other orphans—surgically removed and shipped to the United States. He learns that Sundowner (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) inspected the facility in the company of Senator Steven Armstrong (archive recordings by Christian Bale), creating an alliance between Desperado and World Marshal, another PMC. They plan to condition the children's brains to become killers through VR training and place them inside cybernetic bodies to create new soldiers, similar to Raiden. Copy Sonic and Raiden rescues George and the unharvested orphans, and takes them to Doktor while Copy Sonic seeks revenge on the Deadly Six for capturing Tails. Raiden promptly resigns and with Copy Sonic and Bladewolf (voiced by Tony Amendola) at his side, launches a one-man assault on World Marshal's headquarters in Denver with the American Military and National Guard forces also joined to raid the World Marshal's headquarters in which they would disband the alliance. Though he is no longer employed by them, Maverick unofficially approves of his actions and provides discreet support throughout. As he and Copy Sonic along with the American Forces fights his way through the city's privatized police force and Desperado soldiers, Raiden becomes conflicted over those he has killed.

The longer he fights, the more he starts regressing towards his aggressive child soldier persona, "Jack the Ripper", before finally embracing it when he and Copy Sonic encounters Sam (voiced by Philip Anthony-Rodriguez) and another operative named Monsoon (also voiced by Steven Blum). He kills Monsoon and infiltrates World Marshal's headquarters before locating and killing Sundowner in short order. There, he learns that Armstrong brought World Marshal and Desperado together to exploit Raiden's desire to avenge N'Mani's death. Armstrong used Desperado to distract Raiden and Copy Sonic while he carries out "Operation Tecumseh": a plan to assassinate the President of the United States during peace negotiations with Pakistan to ensure another War on Terror. While Doktor (also voiced by Matthew Mercer) recovers the children's brains, Raiden and Copy Sonic seeks help from the Solis company, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the United States Military to reach Pakistan in time to stop Armstrong and foil Desperado's plan. Once there, the city of New York became under attack by the Golem and an army of Grublins. They successfully repelled the attack with the help of the New York National Guard and the United States Armed Forces, sent Mecha-King Ghidorah to kill the Golem in the process thus completing Sonic Sr's revenge and later avenging the deaths of Americans in San Francisco. Afterwards, Sonic Sr and Cynder reunited with the Guardians after five long years. That night, Malefor (voiced by Darin De Paul) gave the citizens of New York a message that he had awakened the Destroyer (also vocal effects by Darin De Paul), a beast that recreates the world by bringing about its destruction, but Sonic Sr told him that he cannot let him destroy Earth.

Before this could happen, it had to complete a circle around the world called The Ring of Annihilation which would make the Belt of Fire spread out over the world and burning everything that it crosses over. Ignitus hatched a plan to stop it from underground, and had Sonic Sr and Cynder open the doors to the New York Sewers from the inside in order to reach the area where Destroyer would end its journey. As they made their way through, Sonic Sr was comforted by Ignitus when the young hedgehog was worried about what was going to happen and how he would end up like Malefor. The Fire Guardian reassured that Sonic Sr's existence as the only good blue hedgehog was nature's way of balancing itself, cancelling out Malefor's evil. Once they've reached the location, Cynder thought of a plan to destroy the New York Dam, flooding the entire city and halting the Destroyer's progress. They managed to do so and entered the Destroyer's heart, destroying the dark crystal controlling it. Even though they destroyed the dark gem that was the heart of the Destroyer, Malefor used his dark magic to control the beast and it still managed to complete its Circle. The rest of the inhabitants headed for underground, He and Copy Sonic encounters Sam on the way and the pair engage in a final duel from which Raiden emerges victorious. Later in the Lost Hex, Ultraman Zero takes him far away and followed by Glen Fire and Mirror Knight, Jean-bot began to regain his consciousness but he had to shut down his system to resist Beatstar's control. Jean-bot told Copy Sonic and Raiden about everything he knows about Armstrong and Jean-killer, Raiden told Copy Sonic that when she ordered Jean-bot to stop, Jean-killer also noticed and stopper as well.

Copy Sonic begins to think that Jean-killer also has a heart like Jean-bot as he was based on him and that makes Jean-killer Jean-bot's younger brother. They started to repair Jean-bot with help of Copy Sonic's knowledge. As the fighting with Zero continues, before Zero had a chance to defeat Jean-killer, Jean-bot stops Zero in time and tells everyone that he is his brother, the rest of the team is surprised when Jean-bot try to persuade Jean-killer that living-life forms is the not enemy, as he still under the control of Beatstar he continued to attack Jean-bot and the team. Copy Sonic arrives and persuades him to open his heart to the truth to make up his own mind, he responds but Beatstar forcefully gains control of him again and he attacks Copy Sonic with beams from his eyes and holds back the team with electric blasts to make them stay where they are, Raiden told Copy Sonic that they should trust him. He still tries to convince Jean-killer as he believes that Jean-killer has a heart as his attack missed countless times at Copy Sonic, He stopped after he saw Copy Sonic's tear, the team is freed and everyone is surprised when they see Jean-killer's tears. Everyone taught him about life, heart and the truth about organic lifeforms not being his enemy. Jean-killer had make up his own mind but Raiden reminds everyone that is time growing short before the stolen energy will be completed, the team and Jean-killer destroyed all surrounding Legioniods. Ultraman (archive recordings by George Clooney), Ultraseven (archive recordings by J.K. Simmons) and Zoffy (also voiced by Matthew Mercer) arrive to buy them time to prevent Deadly Six from stealing energy from Copy Sonic's World. Jean-bot begged Jean-killer to reveal Armstrong's location. Armstrong's Location Jean-killer told them he's at the Lava Mountain. The team jump up to the Lava Mountain and found several of King Joes and Inpelaizers. Later at Solis, Sunny helps Raiden and Copy Sonic travel to Lava Mountain to stop Steven Armstrong while Ignitus escorted Cynder and Sonic Sr through the Belt of Fire in Earth.

However, the Fire Guardian sacrificed himself to allow the blue hedgehog and black dragoness to get pass unscatched. Sonic Sr, in his grief, almost lost himself to the darkness he fell into three years ago and turned into Dark Super Sonic Sr, but Cynder's words pulled him out, and she expressed her condolence by telling him he was not alone and nuzzled him lovingly. After being separated in Earth, Jean-bot, Glen Fire, Mirror Knight and Orbot and Cubot summoned Gomora to hold them for Zero, Raiden and Copy Sonic, so Zero, Raiden and Copy Sonic will be able to reach the Deadly Six and prevent the stolen energy from being completed. When Copy Sonic, Raiden and Zero comes across the Deadly Six as they prepare to use the roboticized Tails against him, Raiden and Zero. However, prior to the conversion, Tails managed to reprogram the process to retain his free will and instead helps Copy Sonic, Raiden and Zero to defeat them. Upon reaching the machine and finding it already switched off, they were attacked by Metal Gear EXCELSUS (vocal effects by Michael-Leon Wooley), a hexapedal tank piloted by Armstrong. He reveals that his true plan is killing US military personnel at the base as this is enough to agitate the American people. Armstrong, with his connections to the PMCs, would win any subsequent election in a landslide. This would give him free rein to realize his vision of a survival of the fittest society, fighting and dying only for what they believe in, but Copy Sonic told that his plan is failed and orders him to surrender to the American Forces for being a tyranny president in which Armstrong refused for Copy Sonic's demands and fights Copy Sonic and Raiden before Ultraman Zero intervened him and knocks EXCELSUS back to the Paskistan Desert.

Copy Sonic, Ultraman Zero and Raiden destroys EXCELSUS, but discovers that Armstrong has augmented himself with nanomachines that give him incredible strength and near-invulnerability, destroying Raiden's blade but not before Copy Sonic had a chance to deliver a fatal blow on Armstrong. After Copy Sonic deliver a fatal blow which wounds Armstrong, Zero, Raiden and Copy were overpowered and taken back to Lava Mountain and told Zero, Raiden and Copy Sonic to give up but they refused to give up and tells Armstrong that Living-life forms could learn from their own failure to stand up against even robots like Jean-killer as well. Zero pushes back Armstrong with Jean-killer's help giving Zero the chance to fight back while Bladewolf intervened him and gives Raiden Sam's sword before they pilot Jean-Killer (who became Jean-Nine). Jean-killer tried to persuade Armstrong to reconsider that the Living-Life forms are not the enemy but Armstrong refused. Jean-killer fought against Armstrong with Raiden as the motion control pilot; Armstrong is defeated by his miscalculation that he only used all Jean-killer's fighting style data to fight against him while Ultraman Zero and Copy Sonic defeated Armstrong in which they foiled Desperado's plan. After a few final fights in the Lava Mountain, Sonic Sr and Cynder finally confronted Malefor, who taunted Sonic Sr by saying that they have more in common than just their color. Sonic Sr denied this, proclaiming that he is nothing like Malefor, who then proceeded to free both Sonic Sr and Cynder of the chain that binded them together throughout their trials. Malefor then claimed that his influence over Cynder had not completely diminished and that she had led Sonic Sr to the ruined Russian base in Moscow to trick him into freeing the evil dragon ninety-five years ago. Cynder both denied Malefor's words, but gradually grew unsure, to which Malefor replied by taking control over her again and renewing her dark side.

A dismayed Sonic Sr was attacked relentlessly by Cynder, as Malefor assured Sonic Sr that there have been many purple dragons before him and that their true role was to resurrect the Destroyer and the Golems of the Deep to bring about "The Great Cleansing", destroying Earth but Sonic Sr refused to bring about "The Great Cleansing" and told him one last thing to let the Earth survive or be destroyed. Malefor refused to demand Sonic Sr for his statements and Sonic Sr continued to be struck by Cynder relentlessly, though he made no effort to fight back as Malefor laughed maniacally. When Cynder furiously demanded to Sonic Sr why he wouldn't fight back, he revealed that she had left him nothing to fight for. Hearing this, Cynder broke free from Malefor's control, and told him that there is always something. Enraged, Malefor chained Cynder back to Sonic Sr, declaring that she would share his fate but Sonic Sr told Malefor not before he used the Chaos Emeralds by transforming into Super Sonic Sr and destroyed the green chain and tells him that today is his day to die with the old sword called Excalibur which is previously wielded by King Arthur before attacking the black dragoness and blue hedgehog in the skies above the temple. During their first phase in the battle, the Destroyer managed to throw itself back into the volcano from whence it came, thus completing its circuit and beginning the destruction of Earth. Sonic Sr, Cynder, and Malefor continued to fight, however, the Dark Master was soon thrown down to the planet's heart, a giant purple crystal, by a joint attack. Malefor declared that he cannot be defeated as he was eternal, but Sonic Sr told Malefor that no one's eternal and stab the Dark Master with the Old Excalibur. However, the spirits of the Ancients, the Dragons who taught wounded Malefor all he knew, emerged from the purple crystal upon these words, and proceeded to drag wounded Malefor into the planet's heart, sealing him away before he died from the wounds caused by Super Sonic Sr carrying the King Arthur's Old Excalibur, much to his dismay and the awe of Super Sonic Sr and Cynder. With the death of Malefor, the chain that binded Super Sonic Sr (who destroyed the chain by using the Chaos Emeralds) and Cynder together disappeared along with his dark magic, but the late Dark Master's plan was still underway as Earth was breaking itself apart. As Earth was being destroyed, Super Sonic Sr was given hope by Ignitus' spirit then instructed Cynder to flee as he had discovered what he had to do to stop the destruction of Earth and foil Malefor's plan.

But Cynder, who didn't want to leave Super Sonic Sr, decided to stay with him. As Super Sonic Sr used the Chaos Emeralds to reconstruct Earth, Cynder was heard whispering to him, "I love you" before Super Sonic Sr's desperate endeavor reconstructed Earth thus foiling the Dark Master's plan and later ending the war. As the survivors resurfaced, they gazed up at the stars as they formed a shapes of the dragoness and the blue hedgehog. After his defeat by Copy Sonic and Zero, Armstrong managed to escape but he is later killed by Jean-Nine by tearing his heart out with Zero combined his Twin Eye sluggers and destroys Armstrong's heart and also telling Armstrong that Raiden is no longer a worthy successor of Desperado but a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. when they betray Desperado. After the death of Armstrong, Copy Sonic and Tails return the stolen energy to the world below and return home with Amy and Knuckles while New York City is rebuilt by the United States Government Forces. After the Earth was restored, Maverick receives approval to create a new cyborg staffing firm, allowing them to shelter the orphans' brains and potentially give them a chance at a better life, while George and Bladewolf go live at Solis with Sunny. Jean-killer is renamed by Copy Sonic (on a radio) as "Jean-nine" and Zero has him join The Team as well. Copy Sonic told Jean-bot to be a good big brother to him. After Ultraman, Ultraseven and Zoffy left to Land of Light, Ultimate Force Zero is ready to save the universe again. Although Desperado is defeated and the brain-taking operation defunct, World Marshal remains in business until the American Forces forced the World Marshal to disband due for the terrorism before killing all the Grublins all over the world and later rebuilt San Francisco and Los Angeles in America. Afterwards, Raiden decides against rejoining Maverick, having resolved to fight his own war. The Chronicler chose the spirit of Ignitus to be the next Chronicler of the new age. Before passing his mantle, the Chronicler informed Ignitus that though he has tried his best, he cannot find any trace of Sonic Sr in the book that details dragons who have died. As Ignitus began searching through the book to find where Sonic Sr might be, the scene changes to the scenery of the United States Valley. Sonic Sr and Cynder were seen wheeling through the skies above the valley, alive, free of their chain and finally being able to live happily ever after before getting married and giving the birth of the son named Sonic Jr.

Epliogue
After his father's flashbacks were ended, Sonic Sr and Amy went to Alaskan Frontier to investigate the fissures which caused the damages for the city of Anchorage and other cities of Alaska. In the post credits scene, Copy Eggman (also voiced by Paul Giamatti) having discovered a new supercharged element called Ragnium on the American Museum of Natural History in New York City which he plans to use for his last revenge against Sonic Jr.

Gameplay
Like the previous PSVita and 3DS entry, Shattered Crystal, Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is a side-scrolling platform game in which Sonic Jr and his companions fight their way through various stages. In addition to Sonic Jr, Tails, Knuckles, Sticks, Ultraman Zero, Ultraman Cosmos and Ultraman Dyna, Amy, Ultraman Ginga, Ultraman Victory, Shinjiro Taiga, Gemini Sunrise, the New York Combat Revue Members, Old Sonic Sr, Old Cynder, Terrador, Cyril and Volteer have been added as playable characters. Like the previous game, players can switch between characters at will in order to use their unique abilities such as Tails' flight, Sticks' boomerang, and Amy's hammer. A unique gimmick in this game is the addition of fire and ice elements, which apply both to the level environments and character abilities. For example, Sonic can infuse himself with fire to break ice blocks or surround himself with ice in order to freeze water, alternating between the two at will. The game will also feature various special stages, bonus minigames, challenge rooms, and local two-player modes.

Development
Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice was first announced on June 9, 2015. Producers Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas, Lauren Shuler Donner, Zach Snyder and Kathleen Kennedy had both stated that the publishers Sega, Sierra Entertainment, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Activision and developers Vicarious Visions and Sledgehammer Games for the Console version (Windows, OS X, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One) as well as Sanzaru Games for the Handheld version (PSVita and 3DS) have been learning from their experience with Shattered Crystal, which received mostly negative reviews upon release. One of the problems they identified was how, even though the game was targeted towards children aged 7–11, fans of classic Sonic games picked up the game and had a harder time getting into Shattered Crystal lengthy exploration-based levels. As such, levels have been made shorter and include paths to better suit gamers who prefer speeding through levels, in addition to explorational elements. On September 15, 2015, Sega announced that Fire & Ice which was planned for a release in Fall 2015, would be delayed to 2016 to allow more development time and coincide with the series' 25th anniversary. Sega, Activision Blizzard Studios, Saban Brands and Warner Bros. Animation announced that the game will launch with a special edition containing a DVD that has three episodes from the cartoon. A playable demo was shown at E3 2016.

Music

 * Main article: Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice (soundtrack)

Later, the composer James Newton Howard will replace the composer Henry Jackman (who previously composed the music score for the games Rise of Lyric and Shattered Crystal) for the score.

Reception
Fire & Ice received mixed to positive reviews, but still significantly more positive compared to Shattered Crystal and Rise of Lyric. The game holds a score of 62/100, indicating "mixed or average" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. Critics praised the improvements over Shattered Crystal and refocus on speed–a key gameplay element of the franchise–while criticizing the plot, music, simple difficulty and, to a lesser extent, graphics.

Brian Shea of Game Informer gave the game a 7/10, stating "Fire & Ice is a big step in the right direction for the spinoff series. While it still has quirks, it's a fun, easy experience that anyone can play. Though I still vastly prefer the classic Sonic games, Fire & Ice is an enjoyable spinoff title that brings some great elements of those games back into the forefront".

IGN's Jared Petty, who gave the game a 7.5/10, wrote "A fast, fun platformer that lets you play the way you want. Sonic games have often struggled with providing the speed and excitement implied by the series’ namesake hedgehog while also accommodating meaningful and rewarding exploration, but Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice admirably accomplishes both goals in old-school 2D-platformer fashion. You can blaze through, but at almost any moment you’re free to veer off and indulge your curiosity by discovering hidden challenges and collectibles. While Fire and Ice's art direction and music are woefully generic, the well-constructed level layouts create a solid arcade-style experience that accomplishes a sense of extraordinary speed while accommodating a reasonable degree of control. Sonic Boom successfully draws from much of what makes the best of classic Sonic game play satisfying, sprinkles in a better-conceived exploratory structure, and remixes it into an intelligent, cohesive, and rewarding package."

GameCentral were very critical of the game, giving it a 3/10, stating "Being better than the other Sonic Boom games really isn’t a compliment, as this dull, ugly platformer continues to sully the memory of Sega’s once great mascot."
