This the second game of Sonic Battle for Game Boy Advance and it's succesfully changed to an 3D game, but not the sequel of it due to different plots.
This game was to be developed for the Nintendo Wii U and Nintendo Nexus, but due to the delayed actions and hardware fabric discontinuations they managed to continue to the Nintendo Switch thanks for his console large fame.
Plot
Each team has his own plot. After making your own avatar you enter to the Hub World with five teams with their own plots.
Team Hero
It first starts with a cutscene. Your avatar arrived in Green Hill Zone taking a view of the place. Suddenly, animal buddies were running towards him and your avatar began to become confused. He saw Dr. Eggman on his hovering mobile alongside with Orbot and Cubot behind him. The evil doctor interacts to your avatar with a menacing dialog and the two were on guard preaparing to fight. After the battle, Dr. Eggman is defeated and the avatar stands in front of the animal buddies protecting them. On the last moment, the doctor realizes that he has his final weapon to kill them all. While the secret weapon was charging, a blue blurry figure appears and dashes through the doctor's mobile, at the last broken and exploded. By the explosion, Dr. Eggman and his shaped minions blast through the skies. The avatar is suprised and looked a little closer through the arid fog. After looking, he realizes that Sonic appeared while asking each other that are they ok. With a small dialog, a yellow and red figure appeared near Sonic. Tails worried asks Sonic if he's alright and meets the avatar afternath. Surely, Knuckles does cool in front of his friends. After a long converstion, they went away to Emerald Hill.
