Sonic 4 details: Episode 1 to have four zones, alternate ending
Will Sonic 4 finally bring together old and new fans alike in a grand dance of celebration? I honestly have no idea. For those looking for more info on the game, here are a few tidbits from the Sonic 4 interview in the latest issue of Nintendo Power.

- Sonic 4 episode 1 is just a prologue
- Sonic and eggman (a.k.a Dr. Robotnik) are the only characters in the game, excepts from badniks and animals. tails and knuckles will arrive in ep.2 ?
- Classic level design and gameplay. Something inspired by the best of sonic 2. This will be the real sonic the hedgehog 4, not sonic advance 4 or sonic rush 3
- Alternate ending with all emeralds collected will connect the story with episode 2
- 4 zones x 3 acts + boss battles (but achievements revealed egg station zone. maybe this is the zone for the alternate ending, like doomsday zone from sonic & knuckles
- Jun Senoue as sound composer/director
- Classic green hill boss in splash hill attacks with new patterns (360° swing and ground smash) after three hits
- Possible new skills in the next episodes
The first episode of the episodic Sonic 4 will be available as a downloadable title on PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii this Summer. The game will also be released on an unannounced fourth platform.
