Location, Location, Location

Episode I takes place on South Island, setting of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog (GG), Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (GG), and Sonic Chaos. The merging of these four games brings a slew of areas to the island, ranging from the native Green Hill Zone to the man-made Scrambled Egg Zone to the twisting Labyrinth Zone and beyond. The full list of areas is at the bottom of this entry.

I have some doubts about making so much in Episode I first because it's obviously a significant amount of stuff to put into this one game, and second because it may make Episode II just that much harder to keep interesting.

Oh, and as a side note, any of the episodes can be played independent of each other, but if you start a game in Episode I and use the password system to play the finished game in Episode II and beyond, more content will appear. Episode II practically doubles in size if you use an Episode I password.
