The game's plot centers around Sonic, Tails, Sally, and Amy having to rescue the rulers of the Chao Green Hill, the Chao from Dr. The game builds upon the previous installment, following a similar 3D level-design convention inspired from the 2D platformer titles where players must navigate through a linear-designed level within a time limit to reach a level's flagpole. It is a follow-up game of the Nintendo 3DS installment Sonic the Hedgehog 3D Land, the fifteenth title in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, the seventh 3D Sonic title overall, and the fifth 3D Sonic title on a home console after Sonic Adventure. Sonic the Hedgehog 3D World is a 3D platformer action game for the Wii U, released in November 2013.
