Spoilers:

Sonic learns that Eggman Nega is from Blaze's world. Tails is concerned about the worlds merging. Amy is initially jealous of Blaze but later helps her. Knuckles gets buried under rocks after confronting Blaze and is rescued by Sonic. Blaze, initially independent, begins to trust Cream. The Sol Emeralds are hinted to be similar to Chaos Emeralds, and Eggman Nega is involved in stealing them. Blaze understands the worlds are merging because Eggman took the Sol Emeralds from her world.

At the end of Zone 7, Blaze's stubbornness causes a fight between her and Sonic.

Near the Final Zone, the story diverges. In Sonic's story, Blaze is injured after their fight and cannot help Sonic battle Eggman Nega. The Final Boss is an Eggman Mech with a falling platform sequence. In Blaze's story, Eggman kidnaps Cream, forcing Blaze to rescue her alone, as she has now collected all 7 Sol Emeralds. Eggman wanted to isolate Blaze.

Sonic's ending features him defeating Eggman Nega and being chased by Amy, who wields the Big Hammer from Sonic Advance 3. Blaze's ending shows her defeating the mech, searching for Cream, who then falls safely into her arms, and they acknowledge their friendship. The ending credits show Sonic Advance-style sprites of Cream chasing a smiling Blaze, and Sonic being chased by Amy.

The Final Endings reveal that Blaze's world has merged 94% into Sonic's, creating a dark and wavy landscape. To achieve the Extra Ending, you need to collect the Chaos Emeralds and unlock it.

The Extra Ending begins with a 3D cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) of Blaze looking at a swirling dark sky. The worlds have stopped merging but are not yet separated, and Blaze cannot return home. Eggman and Eggman Nega appear, explaining that the Chaos and Sol Emeralds act like magnets and can either attract or repel. Together, both sets of Emeralds possess enough power to destroy the worlds. The Eggmans aim to use the combined power to create the Ultimate Eggmanland. Blaze is attacked, and the Sol Emeralds lose their luster. Eggman Nega is confused by the lack of an explosive reaction, but Eggman knows Sonic controls the Chaos Emeralds. Sonic arrives, and Eggman threatens him with the Sol Emeralds' power. Sonic sees Blaze is hurt and sad about letting the Eggmans drain the Sol Emeralds. Sonic reassures her, and Cream, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy arrive to support them. Like the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic Adventure, the Sol Emeralds need the power of friendship to regain their strength, a lesson Blaze learned after a life of solitude. The Emeralds begin to glow again, and Sonic turns Super with the Chaos Emeralds.
