In Shadow's 'Very Hard' downloadable content mission, a motorbike section is also included in the level. only for the invisible demigod's ominous voice to declare that ' it won't take me long to deal with you.' The player then switches back to controlling Shadow, who proceeds through a standard platforming section (plus eventual use of the buggy and hovercraft) to catch up and assist. The action then switches to E-123 Omega, who eventually catches up with Mephiles. Shadow's mission begins with a hang-gliding segment between the seamounts, firing rockets at the Iblis monsters presumably summoned to the area by Mephiles. The bat informs him that E-123 Omega is pursuing Mephiles over in Wave Ocean so the Ultimate Lifeform naturally speeds off to assist. The fox then meets back up with Sonic in Castle Town, explaining that they should head over to Kingdom Valley next, as that's probably where the fat man has taken the princess.Īfter his trip to the past with Silver to see the Solaris Project in Aquatic Base, Shadow drops back into the present (conveniently) right next to Rouge in Soleanna Castle Town. His efforts are, alas, essentially entirely futile, as Elise is shown back on board the Egg Carrier in the next cutscene. Tails runs through much of the same terrain he did in the level's previous iteration. Tails runs into Elise's lady-in-waiting in Castle Town, who begs the fox to go rescue her mistress. Following Sonic's Tropical Jungle stage, Eggman remembers that he has a large, heavily armed floating battleship under his control, and hits upon a more sensible way of recapturing Elise: simply threaten to slag Soleanna to blackened glass unless the Princess surrenders herself. Wave Ocean is the only level to occur twice in one story the above for Sonic with Tails, and then again as a later, solo mission for Tails on his own.
