Again the time of day alters the means in which Sonic topples each, but all have attack patterns that can be studied and avoided. Daytime stages are prominently based on Sonic's speed, while night requires more platforming and fighting from his Werehog form.Р”Р„t certain point in the story you'll be able to access and face the bosses guarding each Gaia Temple. Once in an Action Stage the goal is simple-reach the end! The methods and challenges required to do so change with night and day. Some stages won't open until Sonic has completed a specific task or reached a certain part of the story, and the Entrance Gate serves as a mini stage itself, filled with enemies, items, and its own share of obstacles. Finally there are characters who provide specific services for rings, such as shopkeepers, chili dog vendors, and traveling merchants.Р”В®ach hub also leads to an Entrance Gate which is a hub for all the Action Stages, the gameplay meat of Unleashed. There are also characters who request items, need help completing a task, or could just use some information. Sometimes you'll need to talk to a specific character to advance the plot or help another character with his/her problem. In hubs, Sonic visits townsfolk, gathers information, helps people with various tasks, and can shop too. While the story has our hero hopping between various locales, each continent is home to its own city hub, action stages, and a Gaia Temple. Unleashed follows Sonic as he attempts to fix a broken Earth, continent by continent.

Time can be passed through the world map, in the pause menu, and by using hourglasses (commonly found in Entrance Stages).

Some people become weighed down with Dark Gaia energy when the moon comes up. Unique to nighttime cities are possessions and exorcisms. Other things change too, such as the nature and layout of action stages, as well as what can be done in the city hubs. Sonic is lightning quick with the sun up and a powerful Werehog at night, each with their own controls. The hook of Unleashed is its alteration between night and day.
