Plot[]
Eggman managed to take over Sonic's world, but instead of turning Sonic and his friends into robots, he turned them into toys and teleported them to another dimension where supernatural animals don't exists (the real world). However, he accidentally also teleported a portal and a device that can turn Sonic and his friends back to normal (but it only works in Sonic's world).

Features[]
The toy forms of the Sonic characters are around the same size as Core Skylanders toys. The portal is more technology-like than the portal in Skylanders.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay is similar to other Sonic games. Every character has unique abilities, or at least an unique set of abilities (which means that the character doesn't share all of his/her abilities with another character). Some characters are faster than others, with the fastest characters being Sonic and Shadow.
Trivia[]
- Originally Wave and Storm weren't supposed to be in the game and Omega was supposed to be a Tech character.
- The fourth fire character was originally supposed to be a stealthy female character but was later scrapped because Omega was moved to the Fire element.
- Sonia, Manic and Lah make their first appearance in the games, while Cosmo, Relic and Fixit previously appeared in Sonic Adventure 3.
