* MissingTrailerScene: Most of the CGI animation in the trailers, with the exception of the intro, don't show up in the game, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHoXf0f7d1w Classic and Modern Sonics going down City Escape]].

* MissingTrailerScene: Most of Before the CGI animation in the trailers, with the exception release of the intro, don't show up in the game, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHoXf0f7d1w Sega released three CGI trailers that showed Classic and Modern Sonics going down Sonic running through a white Green Hill Zone, City Escape]].Escape, and Rooftop Run together. While the levels were a part of the game, none of the footage from said trailers are shown in game. One of the Boss Fight trailers specifically shows Modern Sonic, Classic Sonic, Tails, and Classic Tails about to fight the Time Eater in Green Hill Zone, only for the actual confrontation to be in a completely different location. Only the first trailer, which had Modern and Classic Sonic running alongside each other, is hidden away in the game's AttractMode (and is thus entirely missable).

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: As ''VideoGame/SonicRivals'' and it's sequel were not released in Japan, the sound collection in this game is the first time Japan officially got some of their music, "Quick Trip to Paradise" and "Race to Wind". The Japanese Pre-Order bonus was a soundtrack with ''Quick Trip'' as one of the tracks.

* DevelopmentGag: One of the stages Sonic goes through in the 3DS version is Radical Highway, which was likely a nod to it originally being a Sonic stage early on in ''Adventure 2'''s development before it was changed to a Shadow stage in the final game.

** [[https://www.sonicstadium.org/2011/06/e3-sonic-generations-qa-with-takashi-iizuka/ An interview with Takashi Iizuka from E3 2011]] had Iizuka mention that the 3DS version would contain levels from the GBA games and would act as a celebration of Sonic's ''portable'' history, but the final game lacks any zones from the ''VideoGame/SonicAdvanceTrilogy'', and any handheld-based zones in general outside of Water Palace from ''VideoGame/SonicRush'' (and technically Tropical Resort, since it's based off of the DS version of ''Sonic Colors'' as opposed to the Wii version). The presence of unlockable concept art from ''Sonic Advance 3'', as well as how the Dreamcast and Modern eras only have two levels each in the 3DS version, suggest that more handheld-based levels were planned.
