Sonic & Chill is the second half of the Sonic 5 Saga, the first being Sonic the Hedgehog 5. Like its predecessor, it was released as a digital-only title for Nintendo Corona, Xbox One, and Playstation 4.
Plot[]
After the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 5, Sonic is sent freefalling into a rainforest somewhere on the Hex Planet, separated from his good friends Tails, Knuckles, and Amy. He finds out about the Code Opals and their supervisor known as Hexadecimal Opal, which Dr. Robotnik appears to need to create his mass-roboticizer. He believes Chill the Cyberwolf may know where they are, and thus sets out to find him.
Meanwhile, Chill is starting to get more skeptical of Robotnik's actions when an EggRobo bombs the rainforest. Whoever sent it to do so is in BIG trouble. As guardian of the Hexadecimal Opal and the entire Hex Planet, he must get rid of all invaders. So Chill's ready with several traps to prevent the culprit from getting any further.
Playble Characters[]
| Image | Name | First Appearance | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Sonic the Hedgehog | Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) | Sonic's back from his freefall, so he's prepared to find the Code Opals at all costs! He can perform the classic Super Peel-Out and dash throughout the various zones. |
 |
Chill the Cyberwolf | Sonic the Hedgehog 5 (2016) | While Chill completely trusted Robotnik back in Sonic 5, he has become more suspicious of his actions after an EggRobo bombs part of the dimension he protects. He can jump higher than Sonic and use his cybernetic arm to shoot laser beams; however, he is quite slow. |
Antagonists[]
| Image | Name | First Appearance | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Dr. Robotnik | Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) | As this mad scientist comes closer and closer to discovering the Hexadecimal Opal, he has constructed even more robots to stop Sonic and help power his latest doomsday device—the Hex Egg, which will roboticize all life in both Sonic's and Chill's dimensions! |
 |
EggRobo | Sonic & Knuckles (1994) | Chill's chasing after this tactical robot for bombing his property. The EggRobo is just about as smart as Robotnik himself, and will not stop to have a conversation in the middle of some serious fighting. |
 |
Metal Sonic | Sonic CD (1993) | A robotic copy of Sonic, created by Robotnik to eliminate the hedgehog. He'll stop at nothing to follow his creator's every command, but sometimes he tries a little TOO hard to do so. |
Zones[]
| Zone # | Zone Name | Description | No. of Acts |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Humid Treetops | Check out this lush rainforest filled with vines, trees, and lakes. There are some vines on trees that you can climb up, and you may freely swing on others. | 2 |
| 2 | Brown Mountain | Sonic (or Chill) goes up to the countryside highlands in search of the Code Opals. Take rides down the old mossy lifts—you never know where they might take you. Also, beware of the earthquakes that shake the land! | 2 |
| 3 | Dusty Pyramid | A barren desert wasteland awaits your character, as well as the dark pyramid temple which can be hard to see. Be careful with the quicksand that drags you in, and pull the levers to turn on the lights in the pyramid. | 2 |
| 4 | Dark Mansion | Step into this haunted castle—if you dare! Ghosts are lurking everywhere, and the robots are bigger and deadlier. When traveling across the acid ponds, watch your step—one false move and you're done for! | 3 |
| 5 | Pinball Palace | The next stop for Sonic/Chill is a brightly lit casino where neon lights and confetti can be seen everywhere you go. Play the pinball machines to your advantage. In the third act, you'll race Metal Sonic, who definitely knows what he's in for.

| 6 | Iron Volcano | Robotnik's created some sort of mishmash of lava and molten metal! And it seems that Chill is about to find out who the REAL bad guy is... Of course, you'll need to dodge the magma as usual, but you can ride on the obsidian bricks to help you do so. | 3 * |
| 7 | Binary Room | This is Chill's home, where the Code Opals and their supervisor are quartered. Sonic and Chill will come face-to-face here before discovering Robotnik's true plans. | 1 |
| 8 | Horizon Hideout

| 9 | Charge Battleship | Robotnik's latest warship is prepared to dock into the Hex Egg! Sonic's desperate for his friends, but he'll have to let them go as he fights his way through. Look out for bullets, missiles, and fiery engines. | 1 |
| 10 | Hex Egg | This terrifying doomsday machine is just about ready to roboticize Sonic's world, as well as Chill's. Magnets, electric floors, and mechanical disasters stand in your way, and the elevators make things very confusing. | 4 * |
| 11 | The Rift | Robotnik plans to transform the universe as we know it! As if speed wasn't enough, Sonic will have to use the Code Opals to gain pure coding powers and stop the evil doctor! | 1 |
