Cutscenes of the game were also showcased, with Sonic encountering Sage and the giant Titan enemy that as been present in many of the trailers.

The final cutscene of note involvesAmy and her role inFrontiers, where according to the video description, occurs after the Titan is first encountered. Amy sends Sonic on a side-quest, where he plays a quick mini-game in collecting the Kocos. After that is done, Sonic will do a very fun and animated dance sequence and be awarded with a green Chaos Emerald, with Amy asking him to find more of the scatteed Kocos. Fans immediately latched onto the dance scene, praising how lively and animated Sonic looks while doing it.
