Continents Hubs and Action Stages
Unleashed follows Sonic as he attempts to fix a broken Earth, continent by continent. While the story has our hero hopping between various locales, each continent is home to its own city hub, action stages, and a Gaia Temple.
In hubs, Sonic visits townsfolk, gathers information, helps people with various tasks, and can shop too. Sometimes you'll need to talk to a specific character to advance the plot or help another character with his/her problem. There are also characters who request items, need help completing a task, or could just use some information. Finally there are characters who provide specific services for rings, such as shopkeepers, chili dog vendors, and traveling merchants.
Each hub also leads to an Entrance Gate which is a hub for all the Action Stages, the gameplay meat of Unleashed. Some stages won't open until Sonic has completed a specific task or reached a certain part of the story, and the Entrance Gate serves as a mini stage itself, filled with enemies, items, and its own share of obstacles.
Once in an Action Stage the goal is simple—reach the end! The methods and challenges required to do so change with night and day. Daytime stages are prominently platforming and fighting from his Werehog form.
