Sonic Lost World will introduce a new 360 degree “Tube Stage”, according to Sonic the Hedgehog series producer Takashi Iizuka. This is presumably the special stage types we’ve seen in previous Sonic titles, but taken to a new level.
Iizuka understands that some may have doubts about the gameplay mechanic, but he mentioned how people also questioned if Sonic itself could really be imagined in 3D.
In an interview with Famitsu, Iizuka stated:
“In 2011, we delivered a compilation of Sonic games from the past 20 years, called Sonic Generations. Next is Sonic Lost World, which will feature graphics that fit the game’s content, nice controllability, and a new 360 degree ‘Tube Stage’ that has yet to be seen. We are thinking of showing off a new Sonic that is different from everything before.”
“Yes, I believe some people may ask ‘Will you be able to show how fun Sonic can be using a 360 degree stage?’ just like how some asked ‘Will it really be possible to have it in 3D?’ which was the kind of question that helped in the creation of Sonic Adventure. I believe Sonic Lost World will deliver a new experience for everyone. It will also have data transfer between the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, so please look forward to it.”
