MULTIPLE BUGS In Sonic Games (Sorry Sega.)

Discussion

Game: Sonic Generations – PS3 (Classic & Modern Sonic)

I've found several reproducible bugs while playing. Most happen when switching characters mid‑action or braking at unexpected moments.

1. Wall clip → void fall (Planet Wisp – "Rescue the Animals 2")
How to reproduce:

  • Start the "Rescue the Animals 2" challenge as Classic Sonic on Planet Wisp.
  • Immediately run into the small wall directly in front of you.
  • Press against it at a slight angle (sometimes with a small jump or roll).
  • Sonic clips through the wall and falls into an endless void (sky and land visible). After a few seconds, the game kills you.

Frequency: Happened twice; seems reproducible.

2. Soft lock – stuck in geometry (Modern → Classic swap)
How to reproduce:

  • Play as Modern Sonic.
  • Do a short boost (or fast‑press Square then Triangle).
  • Immediately switch to Classic Sonic mid‑action.
  • If done at the right moment, you get stuck in the geometry – specifically in the area marked in the image (red oval).

Happened to me: 3+ times at any spot like the one in this image: https://files.catbox.moe/89mq7b.png

3. Ghost spring / phantom launcher (through a wall)
How to reproduce:

  • Locate a jump rod (thin rod with a small red ball) on the other side of a wall.
  • Go up a speed ramp, brake before touching the spring.
  • Go back down.
  • You will bounce as if you hit the jump rod – sound, animation, and upward force all trigger – even though you never touched it.

The activation zone seems to extend through the wall, or the game incorrectly applies the effect after a near‑miss.

4. The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog – endless run soft lock
(Not Sonic Generations, but worth noting)

  • During the "collect 25 rings" "THINK" level, after collecting exactly 25 rings, I kept running forward.
  • No more rings, spikes, enemies, or obstacles – just an endless flat floor.
  • The game never ended; I had to close it manually.

Has anyone else encountered these? Sorry, Sega – love your games, but these bugs are real.
