Sonic X Shadow Generationsis the latest release of Sonic Generations with a brand-new Shadow campaign tacked on. It’s a funny package, one half remaster and the other remake, one showing its age and other embracing the new.
And while Shadow may have a stronger control scheme than Modern Sonic, that doesn’t stop the latter’s levels from being excellent fun in terms of design. City Escape is back just as you remember it, though with a few extra quirks to look out for.
How To Get An S Rank In City Escape
City Escape is a very diverse level, swapping between routes, styles of movement, and even enemies within just one act. And there are two of them! It’s a fun one that needsa unique approach for both. Well here’s how we got an S Rank.
City Escape Act 1 S Rank
In Classic Sonic’s run through City Escape, you need to becareful with your jumps while keeping up the momentumat all times. It’s a hard balancing act considering you have to outrun a truck the majority of the level, too.
At the beginning, jump onto the rail right away and then quickly to the one above it.Keep up the momentum to bounce off an enemyand make your way to a quicker route on the buildings in the background.
After grabbing the first skateboard, get ready to jump. Right after the checkpoint are some Dash Rings that will bring you to a higher area on platforms. Keep on jumping everywhere you’re able to, and time yourjump well when you come in contact with the Dash Rampsto get some serious air and speed yourself forward.
When the truck crashes into you by the next section of scaffolding, try tojump onto its bumperto avoid taking damage.
Finish inunder 2:20 seconds and with a score of 50,000to get that A Rank, and bump it up to an S Rank with a Perfect Clear.
City Escape Act 2 S Rank
There are a few routes down the initial slopes of City Escape, thoughthey typically all end up taking the same amount of time. Choose any route you feel comfortable with, though the easiest fast route you can take is the one with a ramp on some scaffolding.
Make sure topass through the Rainbow Ringafter the brief section in the park as it is both safer and faster than the route below.
Once you’re entered the side-scrolling section, keep up the speed.You’ll hit a ramp that leads to a swing pole up high, which will lead to an arch with a checkpoint, bring you along a higher route.
Once you hit the uphill section with the Speed Ramp, the camera will pivot to show behind Sonic as the Gun Truck starts to chasing him.This is a very linear section. Remember to make use of Sonic’s sidestepping ability to avoid the comically large saws this very angry truck is in possession of.
And that is City Escape Act 2 complete. Finish inunder 3:00 minutes with a score of 50,000to score the A Rank, and upgrade it to an S rank with a Perfect Clear.
