I don't know.

VERSION 1.28 IS HERE!!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yeah I know... I said in my last guide I was going to write about
Sonic Rivals. But instead I got this game. I'm a crazy Blaze fan and
I wanted to see what they would do to her in this game. Anyway since
I spent a lot of money I didn't really have much of on this game and
annoyed a Gamestop employee on release day quite a bit until the
shipment came in, I might as well write about it, no?
This guide has a lot of basic info such as moves, items,
descriptions of town areas and lists of such things as missions,
gold medals requirements, sound test and theater room, etc. This
guide also has a full walkthrough of Sonic's, Silver's, Shadow's and
Last Episodes. The Walkthroughs are the most important part of this
guide.
The only really important things not here are a full description of
all Town Missions and all 380 Silver Medal Locations, which I have
written guides about that are posted on GameFAQs.com, but this guide
does have the locations/names/basic info for all Town Missions and
now some of the hardest of the Silver Medals.
Enjoy!
New in 1.2: Playstation 3 info, fixes and clarifications of Moves, A
couple of ramps that throw you off into abysses I keep forgetting to
mention and other fixes, formatting the walkthrough so it is
prettier and easier to read, addition of Downloadable Content
Section since now there is actually Downloadable content available
in Japan and addition of a few Boss shortcuts. Plus I did some
formatting changes to make large blocks of text more readable.
1.25:
Only after two days important enough to get at least a 5 after the
two...
Most importantly I moved the List of Questions into the guide proper,
so it's less confusing and it's included in the Table of Contents. I
was just weird the other way I did it, plus I was trying to avoid
the renumbering... but I gritted my teeth and did it. Also I added a
list of questions included.
I also moved Version History to end of guide... cause it was annoying
me where I had it.
I keep on forgetting to update Knuckles' moves... seriously, I finally
did... plus a little bit more about Blaze's Homing Attack.
Language option question I keep seeing on the messageboards added to
beginning of guide, plus a question about achievements listed on
GameFAQs/Xbox Live.
Mistakes! I'm trying to figure out why I said Sky Gem hurts enemies
unless I saw it in-game somewhere or something or I was just crazy...
that was an error I apologize for and I found a couple more errors
too, still! Also, I realize now that the tip I gave for Sonic's
White Acropolis tricky ramp wasn't that good and improved it.
I also added more improvements to the walkthrough section in general
while I was at it.
Plus a little more of an update on PS3 differences and a little news
about at least two more downloadable updates for the game coming
soon, at least in Asia.
1.26: I don't know what it is about Blaze's Homing Attack that
confuses me so... that's why I normally avoid it... now to try to
correctly explain it... can't get it to work the same time every time...
Also a blaring omission in this guide, a note about Rail Grinding
Controls in Character Moves Section... not that important, but lacking.
1.261: Just a Downloadable Content update, Very Hard Mode now
available in the U.S. and Europe.
1.262: I fixed a Downloadable Content and Achievements info mistakes,
Very Hard Mode is not yet available for PS3 in the U.S./Europe and I
was confusing Gamer Points with Microsoft Points... Also, I added
another question that keeps popping up pretty frequently about
Sonic's Wave Ocean.
1.27: Info about the new Downloadable Content, Team Attack Amigo.
Also a new section, 19. Fun Glitches. Yes, you read correctly.
1.28: Info about Boss Attack Downloadable Content. Also I'll say it
here too, I don't have this game anymore, I sold it to get Sonic and
the Secret Rings, which is my current guide project.

Questions Answered:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Q. What are the differences between the Xbox 360 and the Playstation
3 versions of this game? Were any previous glitches fixed?
A. So far as of this update, no major differences gameplay-wise
noted and no major glitches fixed, maybe some framerate improvement.
The only things that seem semi-confirmed are more small glitches
actually, like no shadows cast by some objects and sometimes random
instant wins. I will update again as soon as anything major comes
out.
Also of course, the 360 version has Achievements, which are listed
in this guide.
And the buttons differ of course, I have added the basic control
schemes for both versions to Character Moves and generalized the
buttons in the rest of the guide, for example referring to the
"jump" button or a specific attack name instead of a specific button.
Since this Guide was originally written for the Xbox 360 version, I
will apologize if there is a confusing button reference somewhere if
you have a PS3.
Note: I still need to find out if the PS3 booklet has the same
inaccuracies as the Xbox 360 version and other similar things.
Q. If I don't have enough Rings to buy an upgrade after completing
the Episode and all Town Missions, what do I do?
A. If you don't have enough money at the end of the story you will
have to replay the last few levels in Episode Mode again. Sonic can
enter Aquatic Base again, Shadow Dusty Desert and Silver Kingdom
Valley. This is also the way to see the credits again in Episode
Select.
Q. Do I have to complete all of the Town Missions in Episode Mode?
A. No, but some of them have to be, talk to people in town to get a
clue on where to go next.
Q. How do I find Town Missions or Silver Medals in the Town Areas
after I complete each Episode?
A. Go back to Episode Select and you will be in one of the Town
Areas. Each of the three Town Area has two Gates that lead to the
other Town Areas, but when you go back two of the gates are closed.
For Sonic and Shadow, you can go to Forest and New City from Castle
Town, but the gate between Forest and New City is closed.
For Silver, you can go to Castle Town and New City from Forest, but
the gate between Castle Town and New City is closed.
Q. Where do I go in this town?
A. Talk to people with Orange Exclamation Points for clues or follow
the walkthrough.
Q. The Xbox 360 Achievements listed on Xbox Live and GameFAQs/other
places are confusing!
Does Blue Phantom mean an unlockable Super Sonic in normal levels?
Does Nights of Kronos unlock a new ending?
A. Sloppy writing by someone that doesn't know English well. These
confusing Achievements can be downloaded from Xbox Live and are
listed on sites such as GameFAQs, but are replaced by much better
written versions when you unlock them.
There isn't Super Sonic in level, and there isn't a secret ending.
The proper list and info is in it's own section in this guide.
Q. The booklet says this... where is it in the game?
A. This was a very rushed game. There were several things that were
suppose to be in it taken out last minute, including things
mentioned in the booklet, here is a list of Xbox 360 booklet
inaccuracies and what is true in actual gameplay (I don't know if
this is the same info in the PS3 booklet or not yet):
Pgs. 7, 12 and 13:
The booklet mentions a few times Custom Actions have three different
levels, use the Action Gauge, are upgraded in-level with Chaos
Drives/Light Cores, and have something called "maturity". Non of
these things appear in the game, in fact ignore the entire second
paragraph on page 13.
In-game, Custom Actions do not use any of these things, select them
with the D-pad and you can use them as much as you like since they
actually don't use your gauge, and they never change in function.
This guide contains the correct info later on.
Pg. 11:
The booklet mentions the Shield power-up, it's not in the game
anywhere.
Pg. 14:
Shadow's Chaos Blast is said to have a 10-yard range, in actuality
it's not nearly that wide. Also you must jump first before pressing
Right Trigger to use it.
Pgs. 17 and 18:
The booklet mentions a flight gauge for both Tails and Omega, they
don't have one. Also what is suggests is Omega has a limited Glide
potential, not true, he glides down until he reaches the ground.
Pg. 17:
The booklet says Knuckles can harm enemies while gliding, it's not
true. (I have heard it might be true for the PS3, but I haven't had
this confirmed yet.)
Pg. 18:
The booklet forgets to mention Rouge can plant bombs on walls when
she is climbing on them, you actually have to use this move in game-
play, so that was a bad mistake.
Pg. 22:
This game currently has no Xbox Live support for multi-player. There
is now downloadable content... at least in Asia...
Q. Where is the Speed Chip Upgrade for Silver mentioned in the Prima
Guide?
A. Didn't make it to the final version of this game. It would have
been really nice, though.
Q. Where are the shops in New City and Forest?
A. The Yellow Monitors are the shops, they just don't have people
next to them like the shop in New City. I decided to describe the
Shop Location in the Town Area Section of this guide.
Q. How do I replay Story Mode?
A.
Xbox 360:
Only one save per Xbox 360 account, so you need to either create a
new account or delete your previous save. Creating a new account is
hands down the best way. If you just want to see the cutscenes again
all of them are in the Extras Menu in the Theater Room. You can also
replay the very end of Story Mode as described in the getting money
for upgrades question above.
PS3:
I seriously don't know yet... someone tell me...
Q. Can I change the language?
A. You can change the in-game voices and sub-titles to Japanese if
you change the language options of your console. Japanese is the
only other language available on the English version disk.
Q. How do I switch Rails?
A. You need to jump and then Homing Attack or land on the next rail,
it's not as easy as it was in other Sonic 3D games.
Q. Where are the rumored things such as unlocking other characters,
Free Mode, day and night feature and Super Form in regular levels?
A. I don't know, we will have to wait and see if this is
downloadable content from SEGA. I have completed the game and I can
tell you these things are not unlockables either.
Q. Any Downloadable Content yet?
A. A couple so far, look at the Downloadable Content Section for
more details since I update this guide for each download.
Level/Town Related Questions:
Q. In Sonic's Wave Ocean, I can't find the switch with Tails!
A. On the beach with the lighthouse, it's on the highest raised
platform area. First fly to the lower one, then the camera angle
will turn and you should now fly to the higher one. Kill the robots
and the switch is under a couple of boxes. There are hidden switches
in later parts of the game too, all of these are detailed in the
walkthrough.
Q. In Sonic's Wave Ocean and Radical Train, a stupid Boost Ramp
throws me off into an abyss! Help!
A. Enter these tricky ramps from the left side... this helps for some
reason.
Q. In Sonic's White Acropolis, I can't get past the last ramp in his
snowboarding section, I keep falling to my death over a cliff!
A. On ramps white boarding, press and hold the Jump button, then
release to do a long jump. Try releasing in the middle of the ramp,
not at the very tip. This in previous game is called a "trick" off
the ramp, which is why I used that terminology earlier and confused
people.
Q. In Sonic's Aquatic Base, I can't figure out how to open a door
with Tails.
A. You need to kill flying enemies over the gap with Dummy Rings as
you fly over or a Dummy Ring Snipe by landing on a platform and
holding down the Attack Button to aim.
Q. In Silver's Tropical Jungle where he says "I wish I could go up"
Where do I go?
A. Levitate straight ahead to the platform with the two robots, look
to your right and you will see a hanging Flower Bud, which will lead
you to the correct path.
Q. How do I solve the Dusty Desert Ball Puzzle in Silver's story?
A. You need to push the ball with the Attack button and then follow
behind it steering it. Don't move the boxes from in front of the
holes, they will help keep the balls out of the holes. Push the ball
so it goes diagonally between holes that are on opposite sides of
the course. Don't push the ball unless you absolutely have to change
it's direction because the more you push the ball the number will
count down until it's destroyed. Don't push the ball too hard or it
will go out of control. Remember the ball reappears if it is
destroyed or goes down the wrong hole.
Q. What do I do when Silver says "This container can help me move
forward" in Kingdom Valley?
A. Stand on the container and press the Special Action Button (RT or
R1) to levitate it with you on it to go higher and farther than you
normally can.
Q. Where is the third Key in Shadow's Kingdom Valley?
A. Climb on the giant stained glass window and press the Attack
Button to plant a bomb on it so it blows up and you gain access to
the room inside.
Q. I'm stuck in Shadow's Dusty Desert Hovercraft part and I don't
know where to go!
A. You need to follow the pillars, go in between each set and two
more will appear somewhere up ahead, you need to make all the
pillars appear to open a door.
Q. The Archeologist in Shadow's Story is talking about a Priest's
Prayers and Dark Light... What do I do?
A. Go to the Fountain of the Priest, people will help to point you
in the right direction, and hit the four pillars surrounding it with
Chaos Spear.
And finally, I don't have an X-box profile... yet...

Sonic, Shadow and Silver are the main characters of the three main
stories. Each hedgehog has his own moves, plus you can buy upgrades
for them if you have enough Rings at the Shops in Town. Earn Rings
by collecting them in Acts, Bosses and Town Missions and get bonus
Rings depending on what Rank you earned. The items you buy at the
shop are available at different points in Episode Mode, have
different costs, have specific names and some upgrades are needed to
continue the story, all this info is listed.
These three characters also have an Action Gauge in the bottom right
hand of the screen. Using certain moves or techniques depletes your
Action Gauge. Gain power by defeating enemies and picking up Light
Cores or Chaos Drives or with Sonic and Silver just stand on the
ground for a while till the bar is full and glows again. There is
also a level indicator next to the gauge that shows what level
Shadow's Chaos Boost is at (increase the level by buying Memory
Shards from the shop, when you have Memory Shards you increase the
Boost Level in-act by pressing the Special Action button one or two
more times), and also for Sonic a Gem appears next to the gauge that
shows what Custom Move you have currently equipped.
Sonic has two "Princess Acts" where he is carrying around Princess
Elise, two stages where he is on a board for part of the time, and
sometimes he runs though a Super Speed Area. There are special
controls for these different types of Sonic game play.
In most Acts, Shadow has vehicles he can drive, they are mostly
controlled the same way but vary in how easily you can drive them
and the type of Ammo they have. Sometimes you will need to use the
vehicle to complete the stage.
Also Shadow has "Chaos Boost" which is available when his Action
Gauge is full. Certain upgrades only work when he is in this boost
mode. The Action Gauge slowly runs out.
The other characters are Support Characters that you sometimes meet
in Acts or sometimes follow you around in Act or Town Stages. In
some Acts you will temporarily switch to the Support Character to
complete part of the level, one Act in each story is completely
played by a Support Character. Later on in the game you will even
see main characters act as a support character in another story.
Support characters lack an Action Gauge and can't be upgraded
(except in the case of main characters appearing as a support
character in another episode, you can even use upgrades that
character already has).
Rails:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Omega, and Blaze can grind rails. Silver has
rails in some of his levels, but you can't catch them. (I have heard
however Silver can grind in the downloadable Very Hard Mode) You
basically slide along Rails faster than you can run.
Here are the basic Rail Controls:
Homing Attack- If your character can Homing Attack, you can use it
to Homing Attack toward a rail. This comes in handy when you want to
switch Rails.
Jump Button on Rail- Jump off Rail.
Attack Button on Rail- Flip around, this will increase your speed
for a short period of time. Keep tapping the Attack button to move
faster overall.
NOTES: Character moves are based from Xbox 360 booklet, but some
moves were incorrectly described in the booklet or are not clear
enough, so my added notes are in parenthesis, I don't want to
plagiarize here. Plus I generalized the Xbox 360 descriptions but
replacing the buttons with more general info, as explained below.
Because I felt it was best here, the 360 and PS3 buttons are
generalized, refer to the Game Controls for more specific details
for your system. As you can see, I also tried to clarify some of the
attack info.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
4.a. Sonic's Moves, Upgrades, Custom Moves, Super Speed Areas,
Boarding and Princess Stages
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sonic has many of the same moves from previous Sonic 3D games. His
Homing Attack works a little differently and you need to get use to
Sonic or Shadow having to do a flip before using it. This was done
because people complained about the characters being able to Homing
Attack too fast in previous games. However, his moves do change when
he is carrying the Princess, when he is boarding or during Super
Speed Areas.
His Action Gauge is only used in Princess Levels. You can get more
energy if your feet is on the ground or from Light Cores/Chaos
Drives in enemies.
Basic Moves:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Homing Attack- Jump button during Jump
Automatically zoom in and strike nearby enemies. If no enemies are
within range, use this to make Sonic perform a "Jump Dash."
(Also use Homing Attack to catch rails)
Spin Dash- Hold Attack button at standstill > Release
Hold the Attack button to start Sonic spinning on the spot. Release
the button and he will dash off in a burst of speed. (Attack ends by
itself after a while, or press the Attack button or Jump to stop
him)
Attack- Attack button (Tap, not hold)
Throw a powerful spinning kick at enemies straight ahead.
Upgrades:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Light Dash- Attack button near a path of Rings (Tap, not hold while
running, at a standstill or jumping. Does not work with all Rings.)
Send Sonic soaring through a pathway of Rings suspended in mid-air.
Item Name- Light Chip
Price- 100 Rings
When Available- Beginning of game, after completing "Winder of a
Shoemaker" Mission. You will need this Upgrade to get into Act 1:
Wave Ocean.
Bound Jump- Attack button during Jump (Tap, not hold)
While jumping over an enemy or breakable ground area, press the
Attack button to attack vertically downward before bouncing even
higher. Press the button again to repeat this move.
(Repeat once to bounce higher and keep tapping to keep bouncing.
Careful, if you are trying to catch a suspended line of Rings, if
you are not close enough to the rings you might do this attack
instead and fall to your doom.)
Item Name- Bounce Bracelet
Price- 2000 Rings
When Available- Item needed to continue story before Act 6: Radical
Train.
Sliding Attack- Hold Attack > Release (Hold while you are Running)
Slide along a destructive path straight through multiple enemies
ahead (stop by pressing the Attack button again or eventually this
attack stops on its own.)
Item Name- Antigravity
Price- 500 Rings
When Available- Item needed to complete continue story and enter Act
2: Dusty Desert.
Custom Moves- RT/R1:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Later in the game you can buy Upgrades called Gems that give Sonic a
variety of abilities he can use with the Special Action Button. In-
level you can shuffle through moves by pressing left and right with
the D (directional) pad, a Gem that looks like a Sol Emerald from
Sonic Rush will appear next to your energy bar and Sonic's shoes
will change color. Custom Actions cannot be used during Princess
Stages, Super Speed Areas or Boarding.
How you use each Gem varies and my extra info appears in parentheses.
Item Name- Green Gem
Allows you to use the "Tornado" custom action. Creates wind to
attack surrounding enemies.
(Blue Tornado move from Sonic Heroes, can hit enemies multiple times,
but slow, just press the Special Action button to activate)
Price- 5000 Rings
When Available- Before Kingdom Valley level.
Item Name- Red Gem
Allows you to use the "Slow" custom action. Slows the flow of time
in the immediate area.
(Keep time slowed down by holding down the Special Action. Despite
what some people say, I have observed this Gem also slows down the
clock, a very valuable tool for S-ranking. Be careful, the Red Gem
also affects how fast you can move the camera, and for some reason
seems to mess with Sonic's ability to quickly turn in the air to
catch things like light dash rings and rainbow hoops, so you might
want to turn it off at these points.)
Price- 5000 Rings
When Available- Before Kingdom Valley level.
Item Name- Blue Gem
Allows you to use the "Mach Speed" custom action. Enables you to do
a Supersonic Boost Dash.
(Press Special Action to activate and Sonic will automatically run
off, but you can steer him. The boost in speed only lasts a short
period of time, but you can repeat it quickly.)
Price- 7000
When Available- Before Kingdom Valley level.
Item Name- White Gem
Allows you to use the "Homing Smash" custom action. Enables you to
stop in midair, and do a Homing Attack.
(Jump, then press Special Action to stop in mid-air, this ability
basically allows you to stop and hang in mid-air in the middle of a
jump, then if you release the button you either automatically Jump
Dash or Homing Attack an enemy nearby. Can be used in a few Bosses
to hit the boss a little early.)
Price- 8000 Rings
When Available- Before Aquatic Base level.
Item Name- Sky Gem
Allows you to use the "Gun Drive" custom action. Enables you to
throw a Gem and teleport to that location.
(When you hold down the Special Action, the screen changes to first
person view and you can aim with the Left Control Stick. When you
release the Special Action button, Sonic will throw a Gem (it looks
like a Sol Emerald) and then he usually runs after it. If you aim it
kind of high, Sonic will do a long jump. The longer you have the
Special Action button pressed, the further he throws it. A neat
trick is to use this next to a wall and aim kind of high, Sonic will
spring up very high. Occasionally if you throw the gem very far
Sonic will fail to follow it, or the reaction will be delayed.)
Price- 10000 Rings
When Available- Before Aquatic Base level.
Item Name- Yellow Gem
Allows you to use the "Thunder Guard" custom action. Defends against
attacks while attracting nearby Rings.
(Pressing Special Action will put up a yellow Shield that will
attract nearby Rings. It will protect you if you directly touch an
enemy and a few other damage causing things, but not everything
including most bullets and lava. From what I have observed, I think
it protects you better the faster you move, but don't completely
take my word on that. Or actually, this thing might work if the
shield but not you is hit and protects you from indirect blasts
because of this. When you are hit, you can simply press Special
Action again to get the shield back, you will lose the shield if you
are hit by anything, even if you are not protected from Ring Loss.
You can turn on the Shield and then switch to another Custom Action
without losing the shield.)
Price- 12000 Rings
When Available- Before Aquatic Base level.
Item Name- Purple Gem
Allows you to use the "Scale" custom action. Changes Sonic's size.
(Holding down Special Action will turn Sonic tiny. Tiny Sonic can
run faster than regular Sonic and he runs automatically and you
can't stop him, but his Homing Attack is gone... replaced by a crazy
infinite jump! Just keep pressing the Jump button and Sonic will
stay in the air forever going higher and higher! He's not really
fast doing this, but you can go ANYWHERE! Perfect for clever
shortcuts and finding Silver Medals. Releasing Special Action will
return Sonic to normal size.)
Price- 14000 Rings
When Available- Before Aquatic Base level.
Super Speed Areas:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sometimes in Acts you will hit areas where Sonic goes extra fast.
Basically all you can do is steer Sonic, jump and use Light Dash
since he runs automatically, some places you might have to jump off
walls like during certain parts of Acts. Be careful! If you run into
a wall or anything else such as enemies or obstacles Sonic will lose
his Rings or die. If you run off the stage there is no hope.
Tips:
You might want to keep pressing the Attack button so you can Light
Dash any nearby lines of Rings. Lines of Rings almost never steer
you wrong.
Remember only small adjustments left or right. You can also steer
with the camera! Use the Right Stick to move the camera slightly and
your character will change path also.
Don't run at the very edge of the stage where you can easily hit a
wall
Boarding:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A couple of times Sonic is on a board, either snowboarding or in a
city. All Sonic can do is jump, but he can also trick off ramps if
done properly and grind on rails.
Trick Jump: Hold Jump when on ramp
Start pressing the Jump button as soon as you get on a ramp or even
a little before you get on the ramp, he will slow down to charge up
for a jump. The longer you press Jump and the closer to the edge of
the ramp you release the button, the farther he will trick jump.
Tips:
You can't attack enemies, so don't even bother.
You can also steer with the camera! Use the Right Stick to move the
camera slightly and your character will change path also.
Princess Stages:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Most skills are gone during the Princess Stages, the controls are:
Homing Attack- Jump button during Jump
Same as before, except Sonic attacks enemies with his feet.
Sliding Attack- Hold Attack button > Release
Same as before.
Aura- Special Action (Hold)
An Aura surrounds Sonic and Elise that allow them to walk on quick
sand and water, hurt/defeat enemies, and break boxes and other
objects. The Aura will not always protect you from touching enemies
however, but it's cool because it will cause extra hits to multi-hit
characters while you are attacking them with Homing Attack.
The Action Gauge depletes when the Aura is on.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
4.b. Tails' Moves
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tails is the slowest runner out of all the characters, but he can
fly for short periods of time, and throw and aim dummy ring capsules.
Fly- Jump button during Jump (Hold)
Press the Jump button to fly and release it to float gently downward.
Use the left stick to move in any direction. Fly until the gauge
runs out. (First of all it says gauge in the booklet, but it doesn't
exist >_<; Second, when you fly, you need to reach the maximum
height you want to go before you release the Jump button, because
you can't press it again and fly higher.)
Dummy Ring Bomb- Attack button (tap)
Attack enemies in front by releasing a batch of exploding Rings.
(Thankfully they are more powerful than in Sonic Heroes, they can
actually kill enemies with one hit. Dummy Rings explode after a few
seconds.)
Dummy Rings Snipe- Hold Attack button
Switch to first-person view and use the right stick to aim a shot.
Release the Attack button to fire. (Has longer range but less
accurate aim since you have to aim yourself)
Dummy Ring Blitz- Attack button while flying
Drop Dummy Rings diagonally in front of your for an air attack.
(Actually the booklet is wrong again, you drop Rings directly
beneath you.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
4.c. Knuckles' Moves
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Knuckles has similar moves and actions to previous 3D Sonic games.
Glide- Jump button during Jump (hold)
Gently glide forward and downward, and punch any enemies in your way
(my note: the booklet possibly wrong again, I haven't been able to
hurt any enemies by gliding into them in this game)
Climb- Glide toward a surface > Left Stick
Knuckles clings to vertical surfaces that he glides into, allowing
him to climb.
(Note: To get off the surface press the jump button, but this seems
a little glitched in this game, just keep trying and eventually he
will come off the wall. It's also easier just to climb to the top or
even turn a corner and he will fall off.)
Punch- Attack Button (tap)
Punch enemies straight ahead. Blast through the toughest of the
enemies.
(Keep pressing the Attack button for stronger Combo versions of this
attack. The third combo sends out a shockwave that damages enemies
on the ground for quite a large radius.)
Screwdriver- Hold Attack button > Release
A screwdriver punch. Blast through the toughest of enemies.
(A form of Homing Attack that you have to charge up first standing
still. Using this attack when no enemies are around will make him
spiral forward as a sort of fiery dash. Unlike normal Homing Attack,
if you try to repeat it, he goes into a Ground Shaker instead, the
next move described.)
Ground shaker- Attack button during Jump
Dive straight downward fist first, causing a disruptive ripple that
damages enemies and surroundings.
(This also paralyzes nearby enemies.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
4.d. Silver's Moves and Upgrades
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
All of Silver's Moves use some of the Action Gauge or will prevent
the gauge from filling up, Levitate will use it up quickly. Refill
the Action Gauge by not using any psy moves and standing on the
ground or by getting Light Cores/Chaos Drives from enemies.
Basic Moves:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Levitate- Jump button > Hold Jump button
Levitate and move freely in any direction until the gauge runs out.
Note that objects cannot be levitated (RT or R1) when Silver is
levitating.
Psychokinesis- Special Action
Raise surrounding objects off the ground. In some circumstances
enemy projectiles can also be manipulated. Press Special Action
again to drop the items. Stand on an object and raise it will allow
him to reach higher areas. Psychokinesis can also create a path by
moving surrounding objects to access a new area by holding down the
Right Trigger while standing on a marked target.
Psycho Smash- Attack button
Push away nearby objects. The longer you hold down Attack Button,
the further the object will travel. If used while manipulating
objects, they will be hurled one-by-one.
(pick up object with Special Action than throw by pushing Attack
button)
(This move next to an enemy paralyzes it and then you can throw the
enemy, I first thought you needed the Shock Bracelet to do this, but
you don't.)
Upgrades:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hold Smash- Hold Attack button > Release
Hurl all levitating objects in the same direction at once.
Item Name- Single-Layered Extreme
Price- 200 Rings
When Available- Before Act 2: Tropical Jungle.
Psychokinesis All- Special Action > Special Action
Use Silver's psychokinetic Power to manipulate everything (Note:
pick up more things at once, in game this move is called "Grab
All".)
Item Name- Power Bracelet
Price- 500 Rings
When Available- Before Act 2: Tropical Jungle.
Teleport Dash- Jump button > Jump button (slight Tap while Jumping)
More quickly and avoid taking damage using Silver's teleportation
ability
(Quick boost forward)
Item Name- Heart of Wind
Price- 1000 Rings
When Available- Needed for "Get into the station" town mission
before Act 5: Radical Train.
Psycho Shock- Hold Attack button when jumping > Release
Paralyze the enemy and manipulate them like other inanimate objects
(Paralyze nearby enemies, then pick them up like other objects. If
you throw any enemy even if it is a multi-hit enemy, it will die
instantly. You can also throw most enemies into other enemies.)
Item Name- Shock Bracelet
Price- 1500 Rings
When Available- Needed to get into Act 4: White Acropolis
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
4.e. Blaze's Moves
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Blaze has a pretty decent homing attack and a powerful spinning fire
attack. Kind of similar to Sonic's attacks because of her Homing
Attack and Spin-dash like moves, but her Homing Attack and Dash uses
Attack Button instead of Jump unlike Sonic or Shadow and takes
getting used to, sort of like Knuckles and Sonic combined.
Accelerator Tornado- Jump button during Jump
A lateral mid-air spin to reach higher areas and attack enemies as
you land.
(Small Double Jump combined with an attack.)
Fire Claw- Attack Button (tap)
Homing Attack on enemies ahead.
(Doesn't have nearly as much range as Sonic's or Shadow's Homing
Attack but can still be repeated unlike Knuckles'. Sometimes, it
works if you tap the X button a lot to hit the enemy more than once,
but seems to work best if you let her flip first before tapping
again... sometimes. Sometimes she will go into a Spinning Claw when
you attempt this move, described next. Just the X button while
standing still, running or jumping when no enemies are around will
make Blaze spiral forward as a sort of dash.)
Spinning Claw- Hold Attack button > Release
Spin along the ground in a ring of fire, destroying enemies in your
path.
(The faster you are moving, the faster she will move during this
attack, so it's best to run and press Attack toward the enemies,
then release Attack. Basically, if you are at a stand-still Blaze
will spin in place and you cannot move her at all, but if you have
running start you will move rapidly. Press Attack again to stop this
attack or let the attack stop on it's own after a short while.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
4.f. Amy's Moves
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hammer Attack and Double Jump are Amy standards, but now she
suddenly has the power of Invisibility... but it's terrible compared
to Espio's in Sonic Heroes because you can only see Amy's shadow and
it doesn't last very long, plus she's frozen for a couple of seconds
afterwards.
Double Jump- Jump button during jump
Launch a second jump from mid-air to reach higher areas.
Hammer Attack- Attack button from standstill (tap)
Attack enemies directly ahead with the Piko-Piko Hammer
Invisibility- Hold Attack button
Become invisible to enemies for a short period of time. Note that
she can still sustain injury during this time. (You can't see
anything but her shadow, be careful! Also when it runs out, she will
be stunned for a couple of seconds and can't move.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
4.g. Shadow's Moves, Upgrades, Chaos Boost and Vehicles
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kind of similar to Shadow the Hedgehog, but thankfully without the
guns. Shadow has Homing Attack and a kicking attack like Sonic, but
also has Chaos Spear to stun enemies. Plus like in the game Shadow
the Hedgehog he has various vehicles he can drive, some of them
required, and more powerful Chaos moves he can use with Chaos Boost
when is Action Gauge is full.
Shadow's Action Gauge starts at zero or resets to zero after a
loading screen and can only be filled by defeating enemies or
grabbing a Gauge Up Item Box.
Basic Moves:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Homing Attack- Jump Button During Jump
(Identical to Sonic's but has a longer range)
Chaos Attack- Jump Button after hitting a Homing Attack (tap up to
X5)
(Use with enemies that require more than one hit to defeat. Shadow
does a series of kick attacks while hanging in mid-air.)
Spin Kick/Tornado- Attack Button (tap)
Throws a powerful spinning kick straight ahead. Press three times to
create a tornado that sucks in surrounding enemies causing them
damage. (Can be used while running or at a stand-still, but the
Tornado is only created if you are at a stand-still)
Chaos Spear- Attack button during Jump
Fire off electric bolts that shock and suspend the enemies.
(Temporarily paralyzes enemies so they can't move. Also when using
Chaos Spear, Shadow will hang in mid-air, you can use this trick to
do a controlled fall, handy for grabbing some Silver Medals. You can
even fall, then stop again, but if you Jump Dash, you will not be
able to stop again.)
Upgrades:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Light Dash- Attack button near a path of Rings
(Identical to Sonic's Light Dash)
Item Name- Air Chip
Price- 100 Rings
When Available- Before Act 2: Kingdom Valley. Item needed to
continue story.
Chaos Boost Upgrades: Special Action Button
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When you get the first one of the Memory Shard Upgrades, you can
activate Chaos Boost with Special Action if you have a full Action
Gauge. Shadow will glow red to indicate Chaos Boost is in effect,
the Action Gauge will go down slowly, if it goes to zero the Chaos
Boost will go away. If you defeat enemies during Chaos Boost you can
help keep the gauge full.
There is a gauge that indicates Boost Level, if you have the Red
and/or Black Memory Shards you need to increase the Boost Level by
pressing Special Action one more time during Chaos Boost to get
Chaos Lance and another time after that to get Chaos Blast. This
will make your Action Gauge decrease at a higher rate.
Be careful! Chaos Boost severely decreases the range of Jump Dash!
This can mess you up in certain areas where you have to jump far,
also after using Homing Attack on one enemy, Shadow if he doesn't
see any nearby might decide to randomly drop straight down.
The following upgrade moves can only be used during Chaos Boost.
Chaos Snap- Hold Attack Button (Boost Lv. 1)
Instantly warps in front of the enemies (up to five) for a chain of
attacks.
(It's an automatic Homing Attack Chain that can unfortunately
sometimes mess you up if you are in Chaos Boost and not around a lot
of enemies, be careful... If you run into a multi-hit enemy, you need
to start tapping the Attack Button to go into Chaos Attack.)
Item Name- Memory Shard (blue)
Price- 500 Rings
When Available- Before Act 2: Kingdom Valley. Item needed to
continue story.
Chaos Lance- Attack button during jump (Boost Lv. 2)
Fire Red Chaos Spears to destroy enemies
(Activate Boost Lv. 2 by pressing Special Action again during Chaos
Boost. Creates a red Chaos Spear that does a single hit worth of
damage, also stuns larger enemies.)
Item Name- Memory Shard (red)
Price- 6000 Rings
When Available- Before Act 5: Radical Train.
Chaos Blast- Jump then hold Special Action (Boost Lv. 3)
Wipe out everything within a 10-yard range. Can be used multiple
times (note: 10 yards is inaccurate, it's more like one foot...
seriously...)
(Activate Boost Lv. 3 by pressing Special Action two times during
Chaos Boost. To use Chaos Blast, you first need to jump, then hold
Special Action. It takes a couple of seconds to charge, but will
kill anything in close proximity to Shadow. Especially good for
enemies that are slow-moving and take many hits to defeat, like
giant rock monsters and large Eggman robots. Takes out more life
than normal from bosses, but doesn't kill them completely.)
Item Name- Memory Shard (black)
Price- 10000 Rings
When Available- Before Act 7: Wave Ocean.
Vehicles:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Press the Mount/Dismount Vehicle button (Y or ^) to enter and exit
vehicles. When you are in a vehicle a damage bar appears, if you
sustain too much damage by hitting things or attacked by enemies
your vehicle will explode, but thankfully most of the time you can
get another vehicle and Shadow isn't hurt and doesn't lose Rings at
all and won't die if hit with no Rings. Also vehicles have an
ammunition gauge, when you run out of ammunition you have to wait a
little while for Shadow to reload, it will also reload to full if
you don't use your ammo for a while.
Here is the booklet's vehicle info:
Buggy

4.h. Rouge's Moves
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She glides and climbs like in Sonic Adventure 2 and also throws and
plants bombs.
Glide- Jump button during Jump (Hold)
Gently glide forward and downward. (Release to make her drop)
Climb- Fly towards surface > Left Stick
Rouge clings to vertical surfaces she glides into, allowing her to
climb.
(Note: To get off the surface press the jump button, but this seems
a little glitched in this game, just keep trying and eventually she
will come off the wall. It's also easier just to climb to the top or
even turn a corner and she will fall off.)
Bomb- Attack button
Place (Attack button from standstill), launch (press Attack button
during jump) or scatter (hold Attack button during jump) a variety
of bombs and other explosives.
(Note: she can also plant bombs on walls she is climbing on, you
will need to do this during Kingdom Valley on a large stain-glass
window to continue on.)
Bomb Snipe- Hold Attack button
Switch to first-person view and use the right stick to aim a shot.
Release the Attack button to fire.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
4.i. Omega's Moves
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Pretty similar to Sonic Heroes, and he can also lock-on to enemies
like Gamma in Sonic Adventure, except with no indication of which
enemies he is locked onto and you need to be facing the enemies when
you fire.
Hover- Jump button during Jump
Hover a short distance above the ground until the gauge runs out.
Use the left stick to move freely.
(Note: I don't know what the booklet is talking about... no gauge,
it's similar to Knuckles' and Rouge's Glide.)
Omega Shot- Attack button (tap)
Fire a spray of pellets at enemies ahead of you.
Omega Launcher- Attack button during jump (tap)
Launch destructive fireballs from mid-air directly at surrounding
enemies.
(Longer range than Omega Shot and does more hits worth of damage to
larger enemies, Omega will float in one place during mid-air, making
it useful even during jumps)
Lock-on Shot- Hold Attack button > Release
Use the left stick to lock-on to a number of surrounding enemies,
then release to attack with a Homing Laser.
(On ground or while jumping)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
5. Level Objects
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Things found in Acts, Bosses and Town Missions that can either help
you or hurt you... There are more than this, these are the more common
ones.
General:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Point Marker (checkpoint): Touch the gate with the two lampposts and
if you die you can start from here instead of at the beginning of
the level.
Hint Ring: Touch the multicolored question mark ring to get a tip.
Ring: Collect these to protect you from attacks, if you are attacked
by small bullets (Vulcan Cannon) you will lose one Ring, but if you
are attacked by something more powerful you will lose all of them

hurt without a Ring you will lose a life. Get 100 Rings and earn an
extra life.
Item Box: Contains a helpful item, listed in the next section.
Spring: Bounce up high
Dash Panel and Dash Ramp: Increases your speed, often hard to stop
after touching one or automatically takes you through an area.
Rail: Grind on a vertical surface on a pre-set path. Controls for
Rails are discussed in the Character Moves section.

get 1000 Points, traveling through more will earn you even more
points.
Flight Ring: A green ring that will help Tails reach higher areas.
Silver Medal: Found in Town Stages and Acts, collecting them all
will help you earn Gold Medals. See Silver Medal section for more
details.
Light Cores and Chaos Drives: Come from enemies and help you
replenish your Action Gauge, they automatically go toward you. Light
Cores are found in Monsters, Chaos Drives in Eggman's Robots.
Switches and Telekenesis Markers: Used to open doors, put down laser
gates, etc. For Silver many switches are replaced with green
Telekenesis markers and might also move around level objects.
Goal Ring: Large Ring at the end of an Act or some Town Missions.
Item Boxes:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rings
Not only do they protect you from dying when you are hit, but they
also count for points and they can be used as money in the shop. 5,
10 or 20 Rings.
Shield
Protects you from losing Rings or Dying once. Doesn't work if you
fall down a bottomless pit.
(This item is in the booklet, but no one including me has ever seen
it in-game)
Gauge up
Replenishes the Action Gauge (completely full)
Invincible
Become invincible from attacks that would make you lose Rings for a
limited time
(For all characters except Sonic the sparkles for some reason seem

Moveable/Breakable:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Some of the more common ones)
Wooden Box with Star: Breakable box, smash it open to sometimes find
goodies inside or pick it up with Silver's powers to attack enemies.
Silver can stand on top of this or any box then use his powers to
float him and the box around to reach higher areas or to levitate
longer distances.
Metal Box: Unbreakable, mostly useful in Silver levels.
Bomb Box: These red boxes when smashed will hurt many enemies all
around.
Electric Box: These blue boxes if smashed will stun nearby enemies.
Silver can pick up stunned enemies with his psychokenesis.
Spiky Ball: Don't touch, but Silver can pick this object up and
throw it at enemies with his powers.
Pile of Rocks: Smash them to reveal items inside, or turn them into
a weapon with Silver's powers.
Barrier: Comes in the form of a wooden door or ice wall, etc...
Attack it to break to move on.
Barrels: Some Town Missions and Soleanna. Fling them around with
Silver, they are highly breakable
Blue Oil Drum: Some Town Missions and the Town Areas. Crinkles if
hit, another Silver thrown object.
Red Oil Drum: Some Town Missions. In one Town Mission they can
explode! But identical to Blue Oil Drum in others.
Red and White Barricades: Some Town Missions. You get 500 points for
smashing these little things for some reason.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
6. Enemies:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Enemies are found in Acts and some Bosses and Town Missions and come
in two basic types, Eggman Robots created by the evil scientist
himself and Monsters that are associated with Iblis or Mephelis. No
only are their a wide variety of enemies, but there are different
color varieties of each one that slightly differ in attacks/number
of hits. Also depending on character the enemy might take a
different strategy to defeat.
Some enemies are "leaders" of a group, which means if you kill it
all surrounding enemies will also instantly die, giving you lots of
points. The leader is the one in the group that is different and
will be harder to kill than the rest, but it's worth it.
Basic Point Values for Enemies:
1 hit to defeat- 100 Points
2 hits to defeat- 120 Points
3 hits to defeat- 300 Points
4 or 5 hits to defeat- 1000 Points
Multiple enemy at one time Bonus-
(if you destroy the leader of the group, the leader doesn't count as
part of the bonus)
600 for 3, 500 more for each enemy over 3
Here is a list first split into Eggman Robots and Monsters including
basic types of ammo that multiple enemies might fire, than a listing
of the basic types with notes about difference in colors. If I miss
an enemy tell me and I'll correct it later.
I do know these are not the "proper" names of the enemies, I might
add that info later.
Camouflaged robots are hard to see, but you will see their glowing
outline sometimes, often they are leaders of groups or using Homing
Attack on them will lead to a hidden area.
Note: Since Amy can only attack one way, I didn't mention info for
her. Sometimes I leave a character out if I think I haven't
encountered that enemy with them.
Note: Number of hits is with standard attacks, might take more or
less. Some hit numbers may be a bit off... correct me if I'm wrong.
Tips:
Use a lower attack for enemies on the ground, a higher attack for
enemies up high.
Throwing bigger things with Silver's Telekenesis will count as more
hits.
Don't just attack blindly, wait till the enemy is not firing at you
and always keep an eye out for incoming projectiles.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
7. Town Areas
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
There are three Town Areas that are similar to the Adventure Fields
in Sonic Adventure 1. They are only playable in Episode Select, to
get back to them after you beat the game just select a character
episode again. There are three of them, Soleanna Castle Town,
Soleanna Forest and Soleanna New City. The major complaint about
this game is the Town Areas are too large and there isn't a large
map, but there is a small map in the upper right hand corner of the
screen that shows your immediate surroundings. Town areas contain
level entrances in the form of Mirrors, Gates to other Town Areas,
Shops where you can buy upgrades, and many different People you can
talk to.
There are two gates in each Town Area that lead to the other Town
Areas. Some of the gates are closed when you enter a Town Area after
completing the story and the gates closed are different by character,
but don't worry, you can get to all three town areas again to find
all the Town Missions and Silver Medals when you complete the
episodes 100% as follows:
For Sonic and Shadow, you can go to Forest and New City from Castle
Town, but the gate between Forest and New City is closed.
For Silver, you can go to Castle Town and New City from Forest, but
the gate between Castle Town and New City is closed.
If you die in a Town Area, you don't lose a life, but you will lose
a life if you die during a Town Mission.
If you have just completed a Town Mission or found a Silver Medal,
pause the game and select Save because the Save dialogue won't come
up automatically.
Map Symbols:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The small radar map appears when in a Town Area and during some Town
Missions.
Green Dots/dots: You and your support characters
Yellow Dot: Person with a yellow exclamation point. During a Town
Mission can also be something you have to get or some other mission
important object.
Yellow Square: Shop
Orange Dot: Person with an orange exclamation point. During a Town
Mission can also be an enemy.
Blue Dot: Person with a blue exclamation point.
Orange Bar: Gate to another Town Area that is closed
Green Bar: Gate to another Town Area that is open
Blinking Yellow Dot: Something you need to find during a Town
Mission or in town or an open Mirror.
People:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
People give you info and take you to Town Missions. Talk to them by
pressing the Attack button near them at standstill.
People with Yellow exclamation points will say random, non-important
things
People with Orange exclamation points will give you a clue to where
you need to go next or will even point you in the correct direction.
People with Blue exclamation points will give you a Town Mission.
Occasionally a Town Mission will have to be completed to continue
Episode Mode, most of them do not have to be.
Shops:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The places where you buy your upgrades. Talk to them like people.
You will learn where the one in Castle Town is very quickly because
you need to go there to get into the very first level, but the other
ones are:
New City:
Yellow Monitor sort of near the beach area.
Forest:
Sonic/Silver- Yellow Monitor next to a tree in the forested area
Shadow- Next to the gate to Castle Town
Here is a list of all Shop Items for each character, more info can
be found in the Moves section, items become available as you
progress through Episode Select Mode.
Sonic:
Light Chip- 100 Rings
Antigravity- 500 Rings
Bounce Bracelet- 2000 Rings
Green Gem- 5000 Rings
Red Gem- 5000 Rings
Blue Gem- 7000 Rings
White Gem- 8000 Rings
Sky Gem- 10000 Rings
Yellow Gem- 12000 Rings
Purple Gem- 14000 Rings
Silver:
Single-layered Extreme- 200 Rings
Power Bracelet- 500 Rings
Heart of Wind- 1000 Rings
Shock Bracelet- 1500 Rings
Shadow:
Air Chip- 100 Rings
Memory Shard(blue)- 500 Rings
Memory Shard(red)- 6000 Rings
Memory Shard(black)- 10000 Rings
Gates and Mirrors:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Gates are large green doors with a Soleanna Symbol on them. If they
are open you can go through them to another Town Area. There are two
gates in each Town Area that lead to the other two Town Areas, but
one of them is closed in each episode once you go back after
completing the episode:
Sonic and Shadow: Gate between New City and Forest closed
Silver: Gate between Castle Town and New City closed
Mirrors lead to an Act. Mirrors often have to be opened up by
completing a task in a town or a Town Mission and only one of them
is open at a time. After completing the episode 100% only one Mirror
is open, go through it to replay the last few levels of the story
again so you can earn more Rings for upgrades if you didn't get
enough Rings by completing Town Missions.
Mirrors that are open after completing an Episode 100%:
Sonic: Aquatic Base
Silver: Kingdom Valley
Shadow: Dusty Desert
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
8. Episode Walkthroughs (Mostly Spoiler Free)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In order to progress through the stories in "Episode Select" mode,
you need to complete certain Acts and Town Missions and buy certain
upgrades. What makes this confusing is when you are in Town Stages
there are other Town Missions you can complete and they are so large
you might find yourself wandering through them lost. It is not
always obvious what you need to do to get where you need to go, so
this is a straight-forward guide to the stories and exactly where
you need to go and Act/Boss tips. This walkthrough doesn't discuss
plot detail or cutscenes except for the specific mission names the
game gives. The sections are clearly marked whether you are in a
Town Stage (Castle Town, Forest or New City) and where you begin in
the town stage, Town Mission Act or Boss.
After you complete Acts, Bosses and Town Trails and they are saved,
you can select them from a list in Trial Select Mode. Also, a Hard
Mode appears for each regular Act.
To unlock Silver's Episode you need to defeat the Silver Boss in
Sonic's Episode.
To unlock Shadow's Episode you need to complete Crisis City in
Sonic's Episode.
To unlock Last Episode you need to complete Sonic's, Shadow's and
Silver's Episode.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You need to pause the game and manually save after completing a Town
Mission or anything else in the Town Stage like getting a Silver
Medal because the Save dialogue won't come up by itself.
NOTE:
Town Missions, Acts and Bosses are numbered according to Trial
Select Mode, not all Town Missions are required so that is why the
numbers seem to skip in these walkthroughs.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
8.a. Sonic's Episode
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
NOTE: I mention the Gems in the S-rank sections a lot, but you will
have to wait and get when they are unlocked later in the episode. I
am mostly talking about going into Trial Select Mode and playing
through all the Acts again.
CASTLE TOWN : IN FRONT OF THE BELL TOWER BY THE OCEAN
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Collect information about Dr. Eggman!
Items in Shop: Can't buy items now.

New Items in Shop: Light Chip 100 Rings, but you don't have any
Rings to buy it with.

but first you need to find Alberto Robert the shoemaker. Turn around
from where you started and then head to the right where you will see
Robert next to the shop, he will have a blue exclamation point over
his head. Go up to him and press Attack to talk to him to continue
on.
TOWN MISSION #1
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: The winder of the Shoemaker
Difficulty: Easy
Points Sources: Time Bonus, Orange Rings
What to do:

within 2 minutes. The Orange Rings are easy to find.
S-rank:

under 30 seconds is 30000 points, so to S-rank this you need under
45 seconds generally.
CASTLE TOWN: IN FRONT OF SHOP
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Head for the sea!
Support Character: Tails follows
What to do:
You will now have at least 100 Rings to buy the Light Chip at the
shop. Then turn around and head back in front of the ocean where the
line of Rings are. Go up to the Rings and press Attack to activate
Light Speed Dash to get across the water and get to the Mirror that
leads to Wave Ocean
ACT 1: WAVE OCEAN
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Support Character and Super Speed Area
Mission Name: Pursue the Egg Carrier!
Support Character: Tails, you will find him about half-way through
the act, use him to find the switch to cage in the whale section
when Sonic is in trouble.
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Difficulty: Easy-medium, Super Speed Area hard at first.
Tips:
Most of this Act is self-propelled. The switch that Tails needs to
find is up high. The Super Speed Area is kind of hard to get used to,
remember only do small adjustments for steering.
-
The ramp at the end of the Super Speed Area can throw you off into
the ocean. When entering the rock corkscrew, enter from the far left
side.
Hard Mode Tip:
The switch Tails needs to find has moved to in top of the Lighthouse,
use a Flight Ring to reach it.
S-rank Tip:
You need a pretty good amount of Rings most likely, so be careful in
the Super Speed section. Remember to tap Attack to catch lines of
Rings.
CASTLE TOWN: NEAR THE ENTRANCE TO DUSTY DESERT
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Collect information about Dr. Eggman!
Get Lord Regis' approval and head to the Desert!
Support Character: Tails follows
New Items in Shop: Antigravity 500 Rings, you will need to buy this
item to continue with the story.
What to do:
If you take the bridge to the right, you will find the mirror to
Dusty Desert, but guards are standing by. If you got a little
further, you will see a distressed mother, but you can't do anything
right now. Nearby there is a gap in a wall with a hint that says you
need to slide under it. Turn around, head back over the bridge, go
past the fountain, then take a right over another bridge so you are
back in the general Wave Ocean/shop area. Buy the Antigravity
upgrade at the shop, then head back and slide under the wall, hit
the spring and you will find a little girl named Francesca on the
roof crying, talk to her and you have saved her. Then when the
loading screen goes away, everyone is happy. You can now enter Dusty
Desert, but you will find you have to beat a boss first!
BOSS 1: EGG CERBERUS
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat Egg Cerberus!
Support Character: Tails follows
Difficulty: Easy, the camera will give you difficulty however and
you need to control it.
How to beat it:
This boss will charge at you. When it stops and lowers it's tail,
you can grind on it, then you will be holding on to the horn on it's
head. Now you can control the boss and you need to steer it into the
other side of the stadium so the boss builds up speed so it will do
damage when it hits the wall. If you don't damage it in time, you
will be thrown off.
-
If the boss jumps from ground level or from up high, you need to
avoid where it lands because of a small shock wave. Later on, it
will turn away from the wall when you get near it, but keep trying
and it will eventually smash into the wall.
Huge help:
The two large statues in the arena if hit will do twice the damage
to the boss.
S-rank Tips:
Crash the boss into the two large statues and grab a pretty good
amount of Rings.
Gem Cheats:
The Red and Yellow Gem are quite helpful, remember you can use
Yellow Gem with any other gem by turning on the shield then
switching. If you use the Red Gem, you can Homing Attack the bosses'
tail at the very beginning.
ACT 2: DUSTY DESERT
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Princess
Mission Name: Escape Dr. Eggman's Minions!
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Difficulty: Pretty Easy
Tips:
Remember to keep the Action Gauge charged up and use the aura to
cross sand!
-
The platforms that move in and out of walls have a small ledge you
can still stand on next to the wall even if the platform goes away.
S-rank Tip:
You need to go off the main path and take side paths that lead to
Rainbow Hoops and more robots. You need to remember to jump for one
Rainbow Hoop at the end.
BOSS 2: SILVER THE HEDGEHOG
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat Silver!
Difficulty: Medium, it will seem Hard at first if you don't know
what to do
How to beat him:
He will use his psychokinesis to pick you up then throw you against
stuff, hurting or killing you. The trick is Silver has to be close
to you to use his powers. Run away from him and when he uses his
powers on objects you have a chance to go in for a hit. You can tell
when this is happening because he will sometimes yell "How about
this!" or "Take this!" Don't Homing Attack him, use a kick or slide,
because if you jump near him you have no chance because he will
fling you up in the air making you lose your Rings, then he will
catch you again before you even hit the ground and kill you.
-
Defeating Silver will unlock his story.
S-rank Tips:
You will need to hit Silver each time he stops to throw objects AND
grab a good amount of Rings.
Gem Cheats:
Red and Yellow Gem are very useful, if you slow down Silver you can
run away from him better and it will give you more time to attack
him.
CASTLE TOWN: NEAR THE ENTRANCE TO DUSTY DESERT
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Go after Elise!
Where to go:
Go straight across the bridge you are facing, between the fountain
and the gate to the New City is a Lieutenant with a blue exclamation
point, you need to pass his Town Mission in order to continue to the

front of the gate to New City.

There are five lieutenants, but one is really a Captain! Two are
lying and you have to figure out which two are to find the Captain!
Answer:
Pietro, the man you talked to in the first place.
S-rank:
Go into the mission and just talk to the same guy two more times.
CASTLE TOWN: OUTSIDE THE GATE TO NEW CITY
NEW CITY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Meet up with Knuckles!
Where to go:
First, go through the gate that has opened up in front of you after
completing the Town Mission.
Now you are in New City, you need to find the warehouse, a person
will say follow the large road, and you can get there by just
following the largest road you see, it's across the town. There are
guards standing at the gate, but just simply jump over them or the
wall and suddenly you are in a Town Mission.
TOWN MISSION #11
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Battle at the Warehouse!
Difficulty: Medium
What to do:
Destroy all the enemies in the area within 4 minutes. They can be
sneaky, so look to see where red dots are on the map to find the
next group of enemies.
S-rank:
Try destroying everything in less than 1 minute 30 seconds. Can be
kind of tight, the most important point source other than enemies is
keeping Rings. Remember to smash the fire boxes when you can. None
of the enemy groups have a leader, so just attack away. When you get
one group of enemies the other will not always appear in front of
you, but you can see them on your radar. Red and Yellow Gem help a
lot.
NEW CITY: WAREHOUSE DISTRICT
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Head for the White Acropolis!
Support Characters: Tails and Knuckles follow
Where to go:
Jump over the gate to get out of the warehouse district, then head
to the path up ahead that is slightly to the right, go straight
until you are forced to take a very slight right again, the cave
guarded with lasers that leads to White Acropolis is directly on the
other side of town from where you started. When you get near the
cave, you will be sent to another Town Mission.
TOWN MISSION #12
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Open the Cave Gate!
Support Characters: Tails and Knuckles follow
Difficulty: Easy
What to do:
Kill all the enemies so the lasers go down in front of the cave.
S-rank:
Pure enemy smashing in about less than 30 seconds, the Rings help
too.
Now head into the cave to find the Mirror to White Acropolis.
ACT 3: WHITE ACROPOLIS
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Boarding, Support Character.
Support Character: Meet Tails half-way through, Sonic follows Tails
during this section.
Mission Name: Head for Dr. Eggman's Base!
Difficulty: Medium
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
Boarding is touchy steering, but at least you don't die when you hit
a wall, but you will be hurt if you hit an enemy.
-
The last ramp you have to trick by pressing the Jump button on or
near the ramp, holding it a bit, then releasing Jump, this is how to
do a long jump off any ramp. (but I have a hard time using it for
other ramps in this particular level for some reason) Try releasing
the Jump button in the middle of the ramp instead of at the very tip,
it will work too, and less likely you will fall off before it is
activated.
-
The switch you need to find after the Snowboarding Section is under
ice patch on the ground, use a Kick to destroy it.
-
With Sonic destroy the searchlights by using Homing Attack up them,
but Tails can fly over them and destroy them with bombs.
Hard Mode Tip:
The switch is not under the ice anymore, but is now under a pile of
boxes.
S-rank Tips:
Kill a few extra enemies with Tails by activating the Search Lights.
Remember to then destroy the searchlights afterwards for more points.
I have also S-ranked this by simply going though the level very
quickly, only killing a few high-points robots.
ACT 4: CRISIS CITY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Boarding, Super Speed Area
Mission Name: Find the Database!
Difficulty: Medium, Super Speed Area Hard
Enemy Type: Monsters
Tips:
Boarding here is more difficult, but still not bad, lots of rails!
During the Super Speed area beware of flying cars...
-
After beating this level you will unlock the Shadow Episode.
S-rank:
Not as bad as I have heard. For both Normal and Hard, you can S-rank
this with just the Rings in the Super Speed area even if you died
earlier and lost your previous level points, that's how I S-ranked
it! The trick is to tap the Attack button through the area to catch
lots of Light Dash Rings, steering gently toward the Rings and to
know when to jump, which is over the pipes in the first part and
past the boxes later on. What I suggest is using Red Gem through the
first part to give you a fast time, then for the second part go
through the Super Speed area. If you don't get about 150-200 Rings
at the Goal then go into the pause menu and select Start Over before
you hit the goal, to get back to the start of the Super Speed Area.
ACT 5: FLAME CORE
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Support Character
Support Character: Meet Knuckles half-way through, use Knuckles to
turn on all the lights at once to continue on.
Mission Name: Find the Chaos Emerald!
Difficulty: Medium-hard
Enemy Type: Monsters
Tips:
If you fall off the walls you are running sideways on and you have
Rings, you will live when you hit the lava, and you should find a
platform nearby that leads to a way that is ironically a little
easier. To help you stay on the walls, run on them without hitting
the Boost Pad first.
-
Lots of places where you have to cross gaps with Homing Attack or
Light Dash, be careful!
-
During the Knuckles part, you can either kill all the enemies first,
then when trying to turn on all the lights start at the top near the
door and then glide to the lower lights after turning on the higher
lights or you can just run through the room quickly ignoring enemies
and turning on lights.
S-rank Tip:
You should be fine if you kill a decent amount of enemies in a
reasonable amount of time.
BOSS 3: IBLIS PHASE 2
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat Iblis!
Difficulty: Medium
How to beat him:
You will be on a group of platforms floating in lava. In the
distance you will see Iblis behind three orb lights on platforms.
You can't reach the lights... yet... soon more platforms will fall down
from the ceiling, but you still can't reach the lights, all you can
do is avoid the flaming rock attack which you will be seeing coming
from Iblis by jumping between platforms. If Iblis disappears, watch
out, you need to just jump from platform to platform because he will
reappear and take out some of the platforms.
-
Eventually more platforms fall and you will be able to reach the
lights, Homing Attack the light to make it light up, or if you are
pretty near the light and throws flaming rocks they will turn on the
light also. Eventually Iblis will be attracted to the light and will
try to eat it! He's just sitting there perplexed a little bit, all
you have to do now is Homing Attack his head.
-
After a hit, be careful because he will send down more platforms
destroying the platforms closest to Iblis, you need to wait a bit
longer for more platforms to appear.
-
When his health bar is low, don't bother with the lights, stay far
away from Iblis, he will charge at you differently this time, make
sure you are not in his path, but he will knock himself silly in the
middle of the platforms and it's a simple matter of hitting him one
last time.
S-rank Tips:
You have few chances to hit this boss and you will defeat it in the
same amount of time every time, so you need almost all of the 60
Rings on the field in total to S-rank it.
Gem Cheats:
Yellow Gem is your friend.
Red Gem helps you avoid attacks, but because of the pre-timed boss
attacks and times you can attack it, doesn't help reduce the overall
time.
Use Purple Gem to infinite jump and turn on the lights very early.
These platforms are very small, and you will likely lose your Rings
because of a hit, but light the orb and stay on it so you can get a
hit in when Iblis attacks.
NEW CITY: MIDDLE OF TOWN, NEAR SHOP FACING GATE TO CASTLE TOWN
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Collect information about Elise!
Support Characters: Tails and Knuckles follow
New Items in Shop: Bounce Bracelet, 2000 Rings. You will need to buy
this item to continue the story.
Where to go:
Turn around and head to the shop (yellow monitor) and buy the Bounce
Bracelet, you need it. If you don't have enough Rings do a couple
Town Missions. Now go to the Train Station. The easiest way to get
there is to first head toward the gate you started off facing, the
one to Castle Town. Take a right hand turn into the street just
before the gate. When you get to the end of the street in front of
the big red building, turn right. Now take the next left and you
will be in front of the train station. The station will be guarded
and you can't get in, so turn left and you will see a hint ring and
a funny pillar with a green glowing arrow on top. Jump and press
Attack to use Bounce Attack on top of the pillar and you will find
yourself in the Train Station in front of the mirror to Radical
Train.
ACT 6: RADICAL TRAIN
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Race, Super Speed Area
Mission Name: Follow Dr. Eggman's Train!
Difficulty: Hardish, Super Speed Area Hardish
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
Arrgh, you have to save the Train from being blown up and to do that
you need to hit a switch on time! What you need to do especially if
you haven't played this level before is ignore enemies and get to
the switch as fast as possible. Here are the switch locations, they
are all near a closed door, you will have to press the switch on
time to save the train and open the door, or you will fail.
-
Switch 1: Easily seen on the right hand side of the room in front of
the door.
Switch 2: Smash the three boxes you see to the left of the door.
Switch 3: In a cage protected by a large robot, Homing Attack it to
kill it very fast!
-
Jump across pairs of scales quickly so you can get across them, the
scales will break if you stay on them for too long.
-
If you have trouble with the conveyor belts, run on the little ledge
in between them.
-
For some reason, the Boost Ramp after Switch 1 can throw you into
the abyss, enter this corkscrew from the left hand side.
-
For some reason this Super Speed Area is not as bad as the other
ones in this game, the last part where you follow the train is
actually pretty easy because you can grab Rings if you are hit by
pieces of train. Occasionally at the very end you will die AND still
beat the level at the same time.
Hard Mode Tip:
All switches are guarded by groups of enemies and you have less time
to get to them, so run very fast and use Red Gem if you want to!
S-rank Tip:
Grab the first set of Rainbow Hoops at the very beginning of the
level for a huge amount of points. Keep Rings and use of the Red Gem
to slow down time will help you kill more enemies before the train
explodes, for Hard Mode the time is so tight even with Gem help you
still shouldn't kill all the enemies in the stage, concentrate on
bigger ones worth more points.
BOSS 4: EGG GENESIS
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat Egg Genesis!
Difficulty: Medium
How to beat him:
Two ways to Attack it! People on GameFAQs finally posted this, but
second way is more of a cheat.
Normal Way:
Not that bad, basically this machine has four arms, use the robots
that appear when the arms are close to the ground to Homing Attack
on top of the Boss, then use a Bounce Attack three times on the very
top of the boss to hurt it. Later on when you get on top of the boss
sometimes the platform at the top is not out and you will have to
wait and dodge missiles before you can attack the boss, plus there
are less arms to climb on top of. The platform will go down again at
this point before you are bounced off the boss, so just wait and
attack again. This boss tries to hit you with homing missiles and
lasers.
After the enemies hit bar is at zero, it will still try to get you!
Just run away from it so the ship doesn't crash into you.
Easier Way:
At the beginning, instead of climbing on the arms, when the machine
lowers and the arms come out, Bounce Attack under the center of the
machine to get higher, then Homing Attack to attack the boss the
same place Silver does. Dish out three or two Homing Attacks in a
row to do damage.
S-rank:
Rings are very important.
Gem Cheats:
As in other bosses, Yellow used with Red Gem helps a lot, but Red
Gem mostly helps you avoid his missile attack since it can't really
give you a better time with this boss, Yellow Gem is more important
since it grabs you all of the Rings quickly and helps to protect
from an in-direct missile hit.
You can use Purple Gem to reach the top of the boss, but it is
pretty slow.
Sky Gem can also be used with this boss, but from directly
underneath it and by aiming straight up, you will find you cannot
aim this Gem from the outside of the area since Sonic is looking at
the boss. Mostly useful to get on the top of the machine early.
FOREST: IN FRONT OF THE LAKE
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Escape into the jungle!
Support Characters: Carrying Elise
Where to go:
Go straight ahead to the hint ring, which will talk about working
together to get across the water, use the Aura to walk on top of the
water and reach the mirror to Tropical Jungle.
ACT 7: TROPICAL JUNGLE
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Princess
Mission Name: Avoid Dr. Eggman's pursuit!
Difficulty: Medium-hard
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
Use the Aura to cross water.
-
The flower bud springs are annoying but necessary, press the Jump
button when the flower near full swing and you see a flash of light
come out the bottom, but for some reason the best timing is slightly
before the glow, when the flower is at the slowest part of it's
swing. Unfortunately if you fail to spring off a bud you will fall
to water below or into an abyss, you will live a short while if you
turn Aura on, but will die when your Action Gauge is gone.
-
At one point you need to jump off a rail to catch a bud, then catch
multiple buds and homing attack enemies between buds over a
bottomless pit, so watch out!
-
If the turtle decides to go into the water, just put your Aura on
and wait for it to come back up, actually the turtle is more of a
temporary platform since you need to go past it to continue.
S-rank Tip:
Rings turn out to be the key here, I needed them for my S-ranks,
also take the shortest routes and remember to put Aura on when
hitting large robots to do extra damage.
CASTLE TOWN: TAILS IN FRONT OF THE GATE TO NEW CITY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Head to the Ocean
Where to go:
Turn to the Right and head to the mirror to Wave Ocean. There are
Boost Rings that will help you cross the water.
EXTRA ACT: WAVE OCEAN: TAILS
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Tails Only
Mission Name: Follow Elise!
Difficulty: Medium
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
Fly to the maximum height you want to get before you stop pressing
Jump. There are very long flights in this so you need to make sure
to fly as high and long as you can.
S-rank Tip:
Easy if you kill a lot of things and keep Rings.
CASTLE TOWN: NEAR THE ENTRANCE TO WAVE OCEAN
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Head for the old Soleanna Castle!
Support Characters: Tails follows
New Items in Shop:
Green Gem- 5000 Rings
Red Gem- 5000 Rings
Blue Gem- 7000 Rings
Where to go:
You will be told you need to go to the castle, which is in the
Forest Town Area, but don't go all the way to the other side of town,
that gate is closed. Instead a guy nearby tells you to see the
Bishop, he is by one of the bell towers. From Wave Ocean go in the
direction of the Shop (buy Gems if you want, but not necessary) but
keep going straight till you get to the bell tower, the Bishop will
have an Orange Exclamation Point above his head.
Now suddenly you are in the Forest Town Area. Go straight ahead and
complete the three Town Missions in order to open up Kingdom Valley.
Remember to pause the game and choose Save after every mission!
TOWN MISSION # 18
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Test of Intelligence
Difficulty: Easy if you know what portals to go through
What to do:
Remember the correct order of portals.
Answers:
1: Take the middle portal.
2: Middle portal again.
3: Highest portal.
4: Portal closest to you.
Then make sure you hit the spring and jump off the walls to the goal.
S-rank:
Very quickly choose correct portals. The part that gets me the most
is not hitting that stupid spring at the end.
TOWN MISSION # 19
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Test of Courage
Difficulty: Medium-hard
What to do:
Kill all of the enemies without Rings.
-
The faster you move around, the less the enemies can aim correctly.
Make sure to keep an eye on your radar screen for new enemies and
their exact locations to help keep you safe.
-
There is one group of enemies that appear on top of a tree, get
there by hitting the spring that appears on the roots of the tree
with the camo crabs. On the top of that tree, hit the spring you see
on the branch to get to the next area after you kill all the enemies.
Kill the last red laser walker very quickly before it gets you good.
S-rank:
Less than a minute.
The problem here is getting hit more than a problem of time.
Yellow Gem can help protect you some and Red Gem will not only give
you a better Time Bonus but will slow down the enemy's movements and
ammo, making it more likely you will get through. There are a few
camo crabs, kill them to safely kill more enemies around, in fact
for the very first group of white enemies, there are a couple camos
in the background, kill one of those first for an easy 1100.
TOWN MISSION # 20
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Test of Love
Difficulty: Very Easy
What to do:
Go through the portal next to Elise or Amy, it doesn't matter which
one you pick. Probably a lot harder for Sonic than you, heh!
-
After this mission is over, catch a ride on the eagle to the mirror
that leads to Kingdom Valley.
S-rank:
Choose a portal very quickly.
ACT 8: KINGDOM VALLEY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Support Character, Super Speed Area
Support Character: Meet Silver, finish with Sonic.
Mission Name: Follow the Egg Carrier!
Difficulty: Very Hard, especially Super Speed Area
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
To get on ropes, Homing Attack them. To properly move about on ropes,
press left and right. To catch a path of Rings off a rope, first use
left and right to line yourself up in front of the path of Rings,
then just press forward and when you get near the Rings press Attack.
Tapping Attack will ensure you catch them, but if you press Attack
at the wrong time, you might do a Bounce Attack straight down, not
good.
-
Jump down collapsing staircases to make it less likely you will fall
through, but also a small ledge is still left behind on the side you
can stand on.
-
Super Speed Area very hard, When getting back on the pathway again
from the horizontal water areas, don't steer very much or you will
end up dying. Don't mistake a wall under the pathway for the pathway
when re-entering from the water.
-
When on the water, don't go too near the top or bottom or you will
be sucked in and killed.
S-rank:
For Normal Mode, if you kill robots along the way and survive the
Super Speed area in one go, you will probably have an S-rank. For
Hard Mode, it's trickier and you need to concentrate on hitting
Rainbow Hoops and getting lots of Rings. In the Super Speed Area
remember to tap Attack button to grab lines of Rings, but I know of
at least one line of Rings before a jump that might kill you.
CASTLE TOWN: IN FRONT OF THE GATE TO NEW CITY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Head for Dr. Eggman's Secret Base!
New Items in Shop:
White Gem- 8000 Rings
Sky Gem- 10000 Rings
Yellow Gem- 12000 Rings
Purple Gem- 14000 Rings
Where to go:
You need to get into Aquatic Base, but first you need to open the
door. Go right and head across the bridge and you will see Lord
Regis with an orange exclamation point standing next to a three star
spring. He tells you to ring the three bells of Soleanna to open the
door to Aquatic Base.
-
The first one you get to by simply using the spring next to Lord
Regis up to the top of the bell tower, ring the bell by using Homing
Attack, now off to the other two bells, which are easy to find since
the towers are so big. In fact after ringing the first bell head
right and you will see a spring that will send you to a rooftop
looking directly at the next bell tower. The third bell tower you
have been near before, it's near the shop.
-
Now the entrance to Aquatic Base is open, it's in the big round
building off the side of a bridge, the Temple. Basically head back
in the direction of the second bell from the third bell, hard to
miss.
ACT 9: AQUATIC BASE
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Support Character
Support Characters: Tails and Knuckles complete parts of this level,
Sonic follows Tails during his part.
Mission Name: Stop the Egg Carriers Launch!
Difficulty: Medium-hard
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
Laser gates will go down by themselves eventually.
-
The Silver Bubbles will bounce off walls and break when they hit a
laser. You need to back the bubble up if you are near a laser by
pressing back on the control stick.
-
There are devices in the level that are cylinder-shaped. Press
Attack button or Homing Attack to turn them on and they will glow
blue, killing all nearby enemies and drawing all small bubbles near
the device. This will give you lots of points.
-
In the Tails section, there will be a room with a void at the bottom
of it with lots of little Silver Balls in the air, but the exit is
closed. To open this door, you must destroy all the flying robots,
you have to either fly over them throwing Ring Bombs in hopes you
get them or kill all but one of them by hitting a cylinder device,
but the best way is to land on the small platform that is in sight
of these robots and hold down Attack button to do a Ring Snipe, you
need to aim by moving your field of vision so the enemy is in the
middle, then release to fire.
S-rank:
This one is easy to S-rank for some reason if you make it through
without dying.
BOSS 5: EGG-WYVERN
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat Egg Wyvern!
Difficulty: Medium-hard
How to beat him:
You are on a floating platform with this dragon-like boss flying
around. Just avoid his attacks, the laser attack is really easy to
avoid because all you have to do is stay away from the target
markers on the ground.
-
The moment to strike is when he swoops at you, you need to jump and
Homing Attack the horn on it's head when it's coming straight for
you, then steer the boss into one of the metal crate things floating
around to do damage, but only a pretty direct hit will actually
cause damage. Using the Red Gem when the boss comes at you and when
you are steering the boss around helps a lot.
-
After a hit the boss will launch electrified missiles on one or two
sections of the platform, then destroy that part of the platform,
then after that it's best to run around a lot because he will fire
red laser bullets at you later on.
-
There is a Homing Laser Attack where he locks onto you that is easy
to avoid if you stand well away from it.
-
Later on, you will need to hit the boss by using Homing Attack on
two small robots to reach Eggman, this is easy. The final hit is
simply using Homing Attack when the boss swoops in and is easy.
S-rank Tips:
Time-based, don't worry that much about keeping Rings.
Gem Cheats:
Use the Red Gem to slow down the boss when it is charging at you and
when you are steering it around so you can hit the metal things more
quickly and accurately.
Yellow Gem will help protect you from red bullet blasts
Congratulations! You have beaten Sonic's Episode!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
8.b. Silver's Episode

Unlock by beating Silver in Sonic's Episode
ACT 1: CRISIS CITY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Support Character
Mission Name: Hurry to Iblis, the Flames of Disaster!
Support Character: Blaze, she follows Silver throughout the act. For
part of the Act you switch to Blaze and Silver follows her, then the
last part of the Act Silver finishes.
Difficulty: Easy
Enemy Type: Monsters
Tips:
A good training level, make sure to use this level to get a hang of
Silver's basic powers and Blaze's powers.
S-rank: Kill a lot of monsters.
BOSS 1: IBLIS PHASE 1
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat Iblis!
Support Character: Blaze follows
Difficulty: Easy
How to beat him:
There is plenty of things around the stage you can throw at the
boss' head. It's easier to aim if you jump first, and if you just
throw one object at a time.
-
His attacks include a flaming rock attack, stand there at the edge
of the platform with the Special Action button pressed to catch as
many flaming rocks as possible to throw back at the boss one at a
time, plus this attack will leave flaming rocks sitting on the
platform.
-
An easy to avoid attack is when he tries to throw a building at you,
it's very easy to stay away, just look to see where the shadow is,
and you can use the building pieces to throw back at him. His third
attack later on is trying to breath fire on you.
-
When all the scattered things on the platform are used up, you have
to wait for the building attack or the flaming rock attack to get
more things to hurl at him.
S-rank:
Rings help, but what seems to matter most is throwing as much stuff
as possible pretty quickly, but you might not want to you "throw
all" because for some reason his hits seem less accurate when I use
it. Not hard to S-rank.
FOREST: NEAR THE ENTRANCE TO KINGDOM VALLEY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Find the Iblis Trigger!
New Items in Shop:
Single-layered Extreme 200 Rings
Power Bracelet 500 Rings
What to do:
Head to the left at first. Near the hint ring that talks about
consulting your radar, you have the choice to turn left or right. If
you turn right, you will be in the forest, but all that is there is
a shop on the right hand side of the forest next to a tree and a
mission you don't need to beat. The correct way to go is left, where
you will find the small lake. A green kenesis marker will be near
the water, use it to make platforms appear across the lake so you
can enter the Tropical Jungle mirror. Remember when levitating
across these platforms to stand there for a minute to recharge your
meter.
ACT 2: TROPICAL JUNGLE
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Normal
Mission Name: Escape the Jungle Ruins!
Difficulty: Easy-medium
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
Logs are mostly useful for jumping off to reach higher places, but
sometimes they will knock large balls off a platform and kill a few
enemies. Be careful, turtles will duck underwater sometimes, killing
you. The most direct way to the end is to stick to the higher route,
the lower route with the turtle is easier but slower.
-
At one point, near where Silver says something like "I wish I could
go up" there is a platform in front of you with two robots. If you
look to your right, you will find a hanging Flower Bud (some people
don't notice it and can't go further). Get up high, and then later
on hit the spring that has a column of Rings above it to reach the
end of the Act.
-
Kill a group of enemies to put down the lasers guarding the Goal
Ring.
S-rank:
Make sure to grab Rings and kill a few extra enemies. I find the
high path is the best.
EXTRA ACT: WAVE OCEAN: BLAZE
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Blaze Only
Mission Name: Head to Soleanna Castle Town!
Difficulty: Easy

Tips:
Easy and short, get used to Blaze's attacks.

Mission Name: Find the person Amy's looking for!
Support Character: Amy follows
What to do:
In front and a little bit to the right of you is the entrance to
Dusty Desert, but it's being guarded and you are told you need a
pass from Lord Regis. Lord Regis is standing by the gate to the
Forest which is on the other side of town and has a blue exclamation
point above his head. To get there, cross the bridge to the left of
the entrance to Dusty Desert, keep straight, cross another bridge,
then you will see the gate to your right. Talking to Lord Regis will
send you to a Town Mission.
TOWN MISSION #8
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Protect the Gate to the Castle Town
Difficulty: Easy-medium
What to do: Defeat all the enemies in 5 minutes.
S-rank:
About less than a minute without Rings or an enemy bonus. Use
Paralyze Shock a lot of you have that powerup, then throw the
paralyzed enemies and surrounding objects into the remaining enemies.
Save the fire boxes to throw at the third large group of enemies
that appear to maybe get a enemy bonus.
CASTLE TOWN: IN FRONT OF THE GATE TO THE FOREST

Mission Name: Head to the Desert

ACT 3: DUSTY DESERT
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Support Character, Puzzle
Support Character: Meet Amy half way through, then Silver follows
Amy, then switches back to Silver
Mission Name: Find Sonic!
Difficulty: Medium, second puzzle a little Hard.
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
The sand in the rooms that have waves of sand going through them is
solid and the waves will just push you to the beginning again, but
other sand that is at the bottom of the level is not and will kill
you if you touch it. Piles of sand on solid ground are okay to touch.
-
The platforms that move in and out of walls have a small ledge you
can still stand on next to the wall even if the platform goes away.
-
When at the section with Amy with the hint that tells you to double
jump, DON'T... it's better to just land on the platform and jump
across normally.
-
There are a couple of puzzles in this level. Both involve large
balls that have numbers on them. When the number reaches Zero the
ball will explode soon and you can't hit it anymore. The numbers go
down over time but also if you hit the ball with the Attack button
or an object you are levitating with telekinesis. The harder you hit
the ball the more numbers it loses.
-
The first puzzle is like a giant pool table. You need to get all the
balls into the holes in the corners. Thankfully if you don't get
them all in first try the ones you missed reappear. Only push a few
in the holes, others might naturally roll in.
-
The second puzzle is tougher, you have to roll a ball down a small
course and put it in a specific hole at the end. You can't let it
fall down the wrong hole. I put a tip for this course at the
beginning of this guide in the Questions section, for now. In the
future I am thinking about making a ASCII map of the course of where
and how you should hit the ball.
Hard Mode tip:
The ball puzzle at the end changes, there are fewer metal boxes and
a couple of spiky balls are now on the course that will also hurt
the ball, the best you can do is move the spiky balls because if
they fall into a hole they will reappear soon, actually they
reappear if you move them too, but not as quickly.
S-rank Tip:
This level gives you a very good time bonus, it's easy to S-rank... if
you complete the final puzzle quickly that is.
BOSS 2: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat Sonic!
Difficulty: Easy-medium
How to beat him:
Sonic uses Homing Attack to try to harm you. It's hard to get away
from this, so it's best to throw stuff at Sonic to hurt him before
he hurts you. If you knock him silly to where stars appear over his
head, you can pick him up with kenesis and keep him frozen, but you
can't harm him except by picking up more stuff to throw at him.
S-rank:
A little hard, you need to basically keep throwing things at Sonic
and grab Rings at the same time. If you don't have enough Rings you
still won't S-rank it. You can paralyze Sonic if there are stars
above his head and freeze him with kenesis while gathering Rings,
but I find when I do that I don't have much of a Time Bonus left.
NEW CITY: IN MIDDLE OF TOWN NEAR SHOP
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Head to Dr. Eggman's Base!
Support Character: Blaze follows
New Items in Shop:
Shock Bracelet- 500 Rings. You will need this item to continue on.
What to do:
Turn around and you will find the shop. Buy the Shock Bracelet
because you will need it to use Psycho Shock. If you don't have
enough Rings wander around town to do missions to earn enough. Now
head back the direction you were originally facing, you need to go
to the cave that leads to White Acropolis. To get there, go back the
direction you were originally facing, then take a left and go toward
the gate you see. Take a right hand turn into the street just before
the gate. At the end of the street turn left and you will see the
cave entrance. There are four switches that have to be activated at
once to take down the lasers. Jump and press Attack in the middle of
the switches to use Psycho Shock to activate all four switches. Now
you can head to White Acropolis.
ACT 4: WHITE ACROPOLIS
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Support Character
Support Character: Blaze starts level, Silver finishes it.
Mission Name: Infiltrate Dr. Eggman's Base!
Difficulty: Medium.
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
Throw rocks at searchlights to break them to keep more robots from
appearing and to free springs from cages.
-
The quickest way to the goal ring in the last section is to stick to
the left hand side of the course, eventually you will get to once
spot where you can glide across a gap and land to your left, keep
going straight, then you will see an area to the left with a steep
half-pike with red arrows, levitate over a hard-to-see hole, then go
through this half-pipe and to the higher area where the Goal Ring is.
S-rank:
Not bad, kill lots of enemies and try to keep Rings.
BOSS 3: EGG GENESIS
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat Egg Genesis!
Support Character: Blaze follows
Difficulty: Easy-medium
How to beat it:
Throw a bunch of junk at the center of it, especially when it is
lower to the ground and the arm things are not protecting the center.
Boxes can be found on the outskirts and you can capture the missiles
it fires and give them back to him. It fires missiles and a homing
laser at you, and other enemies on the ground try to get in your way.
-
After the enemies hit bar is at zero, it will still try to get you!
Just run away from it so the ship doesn't crash into you.
S-rank:
Kind of tough. You need to catch A LOT of missiles and throw them
back quickly, and in-between throwing missiles you need to throw
boxes plus Rings. If things hit the center instead of the four
searchlights around the center it does a little more damage. Even
throw stuff when the laser is locking on to you, if you damage the
boss enough during this charging time more of the boss will fall
apart and it will cancel it's attack. When the boss's health is at
zero and it's trying to crash into you, run around the edge of the
arena to find more Rings. I did it by defeating the boss under 1
minute 30 seconds with 10 Rings.
TOWN MISSION #12
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat the Pursuers and Escort Elise! (Amy)
Difficulty: Easy
What to do:
This mission is done by Amy. Defeat all the enemies.
S-rank:
Taking a spring to the roof to drop spiky balls on the enemies takes
up a little time, so does getting a 1up that you will see when you
get on the roof behind you. Instead just use the stun boxes first.
Also destroy some of the barricades for extra points, and grab and
keep all the Rings you find.
NEW CITY: IN MIDDLE OF TOWN FACING TRAIN STATION
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Head for the station!
Support Character: Blaze follows
New Items in Shop:
Heart of Wind- 1000 Rings. You will need to buy this item to
continue with the story.
What to do:
Straight ahead is the train station, but you will find the guards
are on duty. A guy tells you to wait for them to go on their rounds
to sneak in. Actually what you need to do is turn around and head
for the shop and buy Heart of Wind. The train station is near the
entrance to White Acropolis, so hopefully you should know this part
of town now and can get back to the shop. When you head back to the
Train Station a Town Mission will start when you get close to it.
TOWN MISSION #11
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Get into the station!
Difficulty: Easy
What to do:
Hide from the guards behind the barrels and make it into the Train
Station.
S-rank:
I like to run off to the right side, I find hiding is not very
necessary. Run in back of the guard in the corner leaning against
oil drums. Walk behind the last guy pacing back and fourth in front
of the station, even though I swear sometimes he looks straight at
me and doesn't do a thing...
ACT 5: RADICAL TRAIN
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: normal, puzzle
Mission Name: Find Sonic!
Difficulty: Medium
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
The scales come in pairs, putting weight on one scale will make that
scale go down and the other one go up. So you have to do things like
using kenesis to take weights off or using kenesis to put weights on.
-
To reset the scales, find the switch near the scales.
-
First pair of scales take the weight off.
Second pair stand on the one next to the ledge where you want to go
while holding about three boxes, then put the boxes on the other
scale to go up.
Next two pairs of scales take the weights off.
-
If you have trouble with the conveyor belts, run on the little ledge
in between them.
-
To break down doors, throw stuff at them until they finally break.
S-rank:
Grab lots of Rings and destroy lots of enemies.
BOSS 4: SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat Shadow!
Difficulty: Medium
How to beat it:
Similar to the Sonic boss, but Shadow also creates Tornados and
throws Chaos Spears at you to stun you before attacking. Don't pick
him up when he is stunned then get close to him or Shadow will
create a Tornado and hurt you, but if you pick him up and move away
from him it's fine. Later in the battle Shadow will use Chaos Boost
and use enhanced abilities against you. Throw a bunch of stuff at
him.
S-rank:
Pretty easily actually, I threw barrels at him in the center part of
the stages, I kept grabbing him when he was stunned and grabbing
barrels, the barrels actually regenerate if you use them pretty
quickly, but get Rings also.
ACT 6: AQUATIC BASE
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Support Character
Support Character: Silver starts, meet Shadow, Silver finishes.
Mission Name: Follow Iblis!
Difficulty: Hard
Enemy Type: Monsters
Tips:
There are devices in the level that are cylinder-shaped. Press the
Attack button when standing next to them to turn them on and they
will glow blue, killing all nearby enemies and drawing all small
bubbles near the device. This will get you lots of points.
-
The Large Silver Bubbles will bounce off walls and break when they
hit a laser. You need to back the bubble up if you are near a laser
by pressing back on the control stick.
-
The second part with the bubble can be confusing because you have to
get off it to push a switch, but suddenly your bubble might go away.
Instead, avoid the switch! Steer your bubble toward the platform to
the left of the laser gate with the Silver Medal on it that has a
cylinder device. Then levitate ahead to the enemy filled platform,
there is another bubble to the right of it. (Man, took me a while to
not be tempted by the switch and to learn to avoid it)
S-rank:
If you kill things steadily, you will probably get it first try if
you live.
CASTLE TOWN: IN FRONT OF GATE TO NEW CITY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Stop Dr. Eggman's Plans!
Support Character: Blaze follows
What to do:
Directly in front of you is a guy with a Blue Exclamation Point, it
is a Town Mission you have to do.
TOWN MISSION #14
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Protect Anna, She Knows the Secret!
Difficulty: Medium
What to do:
Defeat all the enemies making sure they don't kill the lady-in-
waiting.
Enemies will directly attack the lady-in-waiting, so you might want
to stay beside her to protect her or keep an eye on her. The enemies
hovering above the water are toughest and need objects thrown at
them.
S-rank:
Somewhere around 2 minutes 45 seconds.
FOREST: IN FRONT OF THE GATE TO CASTLE TOWN
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Stop Dr. Eggman's Plans!
Support Character: Blaze follows
What to do:
Go across the bridge, then go straight ahead, you will see a castle
wall in the distance. Here you will find three more Town Missions
you must pass in order to get to Kingdom Valley. Remember to save
the game between Missions, they are pretty easy but just in case!
TOWN MISSION # 16
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: The Test of Friendship
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
What to do:
Kill all the enemies within 5 minutes to free Blaze.
S-rank:
About less than 1 minute 20 seconds. This one is pretty tight, I
suggest paralysis for the larger enemies and thrown objects for all
the flying ones.
TOWN MISSION # 17
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: The Test of Memory
Difficulty: Easy if you know the correct answers
What to do:
Go through the correct warp holes based upon the questions.
Answers:
Mission, go to the right.
Princess Elise, go right.
Teamwork, go left.
S-rank:
Don't talk to the guy at all and go through the proper portals very
quickly.
TOWN MISSION # 18
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: The Test of Heart
Difficulty: Medium
What to do:
Defeat all the enemies without objects nearby.
You can catch bullets and also paralyze with psychoshock and toss
the enemies around.
S-rank:
The most important thing is to destroy the leader gold rhino and the
leader white hornets for a lot of bonus points, and to keep a lot of
Rings.
ACT 7: KINGDOM VALLEY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Support Character
Support Character: Silver starts, meet Sonic, Silver finishes.
Mission Name: Follow the Egg Carrier!
Difficulty: Hard
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
Just press the Special Action button near bars to bend them, there
isn't a marker on the ground.
-
Pendulums can be worked by using kenesis on them or near them. For
the first one, you actually want to just use it as a platform or
swing it a little bit and then levitate to the top of the second one.
Use kenesis and press forward on the control stick to hit the tower.
-
The second pendulum you meet you can't get on top of it unless you
use a box, but you don't have to, just catch and release with your
kenesis to destroy another tower.
-
It's best not to swing the pendulums after the Sonic part, just
levitate from one to another.
-
Many platforms and towers will have to be knocked down by throwing
things or enemies at them in order to move forward.
-
At the part where Silver says "That container might help me move
forward" you need to stand on top of the box then press and hold
Special Action to levitate the box with you on it. During this time
you can control where the box goes with the control stick until his
Action Gauge gets low. Use this to go to the area to the right with
the enemies, you can go higher and a little longer. Even if your box
time runs out, you still have a little in your gauge to follow that
up with a short levitation.
-
In the Sonic part, to properly move around on the ropes, press left
and right, but you shouldn't have to, just homing attack the robots
when you are high in the air.
-
At one point, no matter how many enemies you kill, more appear, that
is because you need to catch their bullets to make towers fall down,
just destroy the towers and move on.
Hard Mode Tip:
In the Sonic part, you will have to move sideways on a rope to
Homing Attack a group of robots.
S-rank Tip:
Extra Rings at the end are helpful.
ACT 8: FLAME CORE
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Normal
Mission Name: Find Iblis!
Difficulty: Medium
Enemy Type: Monsters
Tips:
There are many different routes, some of them slightly confusing in
the rooms, don't be discouraged!
-
During the part where the sun object sends off energy waves, you can
hide behind the natural rock barriers. Eventually you will see
springs ahead, levitate to the closest one and you will be bounced
to the top of the sun thing. Use your kenesis on the marker to make
it collapse.
S-rank:
Make sure to kill lots of monsters, focus on ones that give you lots
of points. I had a hard time S-ranking Hard Mode, I did it by taking
the shortest paths and only going out of my way to kill monsters
that were worth a lot of points, like giants and purple worms, and
by keeping a few Rings, but I will admit, it's a little tough.
BOSS 5: IBLIS PHASE 3
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Seal Iblis!
Support Character: Blaze follows.
Difficulty: Hard.
How to beat it:
The boss will throw a bunch of stuff at you and of course you throw
stuff at him, but the trick here is the fact that if he gets close
he takes out your platform! Allow him to do this too many times and
your platform is gone!
-
When you have the chance to levitate to his head, Blaze will tell
you when first time and do damage by using your kenesis on the
marker that appears on his head, that seems to be more important
than throwing all of the rocks, but the truth is all those rocks add
up and you need to aim each one to hit so you can damage him enough
before your platform is gone.
-
During the flaming rock attack, stand at the edge with the Special
Action button pressed to catch as many flaming rocks as possible to
throw back at the boss, plus this attack will leave flaming rocks
sitting on the platform.
-
When he does that major meteor attack, you can even catch that huge
thing and throw it back to him with kenesis to do major damage, if
you don't catch it your foothold is gone!
S-rank:
Throw as many rocks at him as quickly as possible, catch many of the
ones that come at you during the flaming rock attack, but I find
it's better aim to throw them individually instead of all at once
for some reason.
Congrats, you have beaten Silver's Episode!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
8.c. Shadow's Episode
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Unlock by beating Crisis City in Sonic's Episode
ACT 1: WHITE ACROPOLIS
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Support Character, Vehicle
Mission Name: Rescue the captured Agent!
Support Character: Rouge does one section
Vehicle: Buggy (required to finish level)
Difficulty: Easy-medium, some of the searchlights can be a little
hard to get to at first.
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
Homing Attack up the side of the searchlight to destroy the light if
you want to. Worth 1000 points, but at the end of Shadow's level it
won't count as a destroyed searchlight, you have to shoot it down
with the buggy.
-
If you destroy the buggy, you can find another one nearby. Some of
the searchlights require driving up narrow ramps, be careful! You
can shoot down the searchlights from pretty far away. In the future
I might walkthrough where all the searchlights are. You can also
destroy them from a long distance away, in fact if you drive up the
Ramp that has Sonic's checkpoint on it, you can destroy all three
high searchlights form up there.
Hard Mode Tips:
Shadow's first switch is hidden in a different place, look under a
pile of rocks on the ground (I said this wrong in earlier versions
of this guide).
-
For Rouge, you will need to find three keys, two of them you can
find in rooms in the walls sealed with ice you can climb on and
plant a bomb on to break, the third is in the ground and you will
have to throw a bomb on a patch of ice to break it.
-
Shadow's searchlight part has a different area opened up now, you
will have to find an ice wall toward the back of the large area and
a crazy curved ramp, it's an area that normally Sonic goes thorugh.
I might describe this stuff more later.
S-rank:
Kill lots and lots of things, remember to destroy the searchlights.
BOSS 1: EGG CERBERUS
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat Egg Cerberus!
Support Character: Rouge follows
Difficulty: Easy, the camera will give you difficulty however and
you need to control it.
How to beat it:
Mostly similar to Sonic's but differs slightly. It has an extra
attack where it rears up on it's hind legs and tries to stomp on you
and it differs at the end, described below.
-
When it stops and lowers it's tail, you can grind on it, then you
will be holding on to the horn on it's head. Now you can control the
boss and you need to steer it into the other side of the stadium so
the boss builds up speed so it will do damage when it hits the wall.
If you don't damage it in time, you will be thrown off.
-
If the boss jumps, you need to avoid where it lands because of a
small shock wave.
-
Later on, it will turn away from the wall when you get near it, but
keep trying and it will eventually smash into the wall.
-
Last time, the boss will completely fling you off before you can hit
the wall, what you need to do is Homing Attack the horn while you
are still in the air and try to steer it into the wall again.
S-rank:
Grab a good amount of Rings and smash the boss into the wall 4 times
pretty quickly, not a bad S-rank.
NEW CITY: OUTSIDE THE ENTRANCE TO WHITE ACROPOLIS
FOREST: OUTSIDE THE GATE TO NEW CITY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Head for the old castle!
Support Character: Rouge follows
New Items in Shop:
Air Chip- 100 Rings
Memory Shard (blue)- 500 Rings
You will need to buy both items to continue on, but you don't have
to buy them in New City, a more convenient shop awaits you in Forest.
What to do:
You need to first head into the Forest Town Area. To get there, from
where you started go straight... a long way till you finally hit a
dead end at the Warehouse district. Turn left and you will see the
gate.
-
When you enter the Forest Town Area, you will see the bridge is out
but a line of Rings goes across the bridge. Buy the Air Chip to get
across the bridge, pressing Attack button near the Rings to use
Light Dash, and you will need the Memory Shard(blue) also, you have
enough Rings. Head through the forest till you get to the clearing
and stick to the left hand side of the open field area where you
will find the ledges that lead to the cave. Up there you will find a
boy talking about wanting to get to the other side of a pile of
rocks, and a Gauge up Item Box. Get the Item Box to fill your Action
Gauge, then press Right Trigger to activate Chaos Boost, when Shadow
is glowing red he will have enough power to break through the rocks.
On the other side you will find a warp hole that leads to the
entrance of Kingdom Valley.
ACT 2: KINGDOM VALLEY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Vehicle, Support Character
Mission Name: Head to the Recovery Point!
Support Character: Rouge finds three keys.
Vehicles: Glider and Hovercraft
Difficulty: Medium
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
You start off the level in the Glider, the Glider is really easy to
control and this part is no problem. Don't worry, at the end the
level will continue on before it looks like you will crash into the
wall.
-
Rouge needs to find Three Keys, two of them are easy to find and you
can get them after defeating enemies. The third is in a room and you
can see it behind bars, but you can't get in that way. You need to
climb on a large stained-glass window and plant a bomb to break into
the room.
-
When in the hovercraft, be careful of falling towers.
-
You can exit the hovercraft and get to some platforms you see around
you, but you don't have to, you need to head through a tunnel to
continue on.
-
To get on ropes, Homing Attack them. To properly move about on ropes,
press left and right.
-
Jump up collapsing staircases to make it much less likely you will
fall through. There will still be a small ledge at the edge you sand
still stand on if it collapses.
Hard Mode Tip:
The three keys are in different places now, I will plot them out
later.
S-rank:
Plenty of enemies to kill, but keep a lot of Rings, they came in
handy.
ACT 3: CRISIS CITY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Vehicle
Mission Name: Find the Chaos Emerald!
Support Character:
Vehicles: Buggy, Glider
Difficulty: Medium-hard
Enemy Type: Monsters
Tips:
You start off in the Buggy and you find the buggy two more times,
but you don't need it all three times.
-
During the second buggy section, either don't stay on it too long or
don't use it, the way you need to go is off to the side and Shadow
needs to go there without the buggy.
-
During the Glider part, you need to keep shooting at obstacles or
trying to avoid them or you will damage your glider too much and you
will die. Hold down Jump button to go faster.
S-rank:
This one seems kind of tight, keep Rings.
ACT 4: FLAME CORE
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Support Character
Support Character: Rouge turns on lights in one section.
Mission Name: Find the Chaos Emerald!
Difficulty: Medium
Enemy Type: Monsters
Tips:
If you fall of the walls you are running sideways on and you have
Rings, you will live when you hit the lava, and you should find a
platform nearby that leads to a way that is ironically a lot easier.
If you run on these wall without hitting the Speed Booster first,
you will have more control.
-
During the Rouge part, kill all the enemies first, then when trying
to turn on all the lights start at the top near the door and then
glide to the lower lights after turning on the higher lights or just
run thorough really fast while ignoring the enemies.
S-rank:
Kind of tight again, kill lots of things.
BOSS 2: IBLIS PHASE 2
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat Iblis!
Difficulty: Medium
How to beat him:
Mostly similar to Sonic's Iblis Phase 2 except the back rows of
platforms are not replaced when damaged until just before the very
last of Iblis's attacks. You will be on a group of platforms
floating in lava. In the distance you will see Iblis behind three
orb lights on platforms. You can't reach the lights... yet... soon more
platforms will fall down from the ceiling, but you still can't reach
the lights, all you can do is avoid the flaming rock attack which
you will be seeing coming from Iblis by jumping between platforms.
If Iblis disappears, watch out, you need to just jump from platform
to platform because he will reappear and take out some of the
platforms.
-
Eventually more platforms fall and you will be able to reach the
lights, Homing Attack or use Chaos Spear on the light to make it
light up, or if you are pretty near the light and throws flaming
rocks they will turn on the light also. Eventually Iblis will be
attracted to the light and will try to eat it! He's just sitting
there perplexed a little bit, all you have to do now is Homing
Attack his head.
-
After a hit, be careful because he will send down more platforms
destroying the platforms closest to Iblis, you need to wait a bit
longer for more platforms to appear.
-
When his health bar is low, don't bother with the lights, stay far
away from Iblis, he will charge at you differently this time, make
sure you are not in his path, but he will knock himself silly in the
middle of the platforms and it's a simple matter of hitting him one
last time.
S-rank Tips:
Similar to Sonic's except you don't have any Gem help.
EXTRA ACT: TROPICAL JUNGLE: ROUGE
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Rouge Only
Mission Name: Find Omega!
Difficulty: Easy
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
The laser gates around the goal ring go down if you defeat the
enemies below.
S-rank:
Glide straight to the end (climbing up a few things of course for
height) and just kill the enemies that are guarding the Goal Ring. I
have done this level in less than a minute before.
BOSS 3: MEPHELIS PHASE 1
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat Mephelis!
Support Character: Omega finishes boss.
Difficulty: Medium
How to beat him:
Attack all the little black creatures around you until your Action
Gauge is full. When they swarm you, kick a lot of activate Tornado,
this will kill many of them at once. If on latches on to you, just
keep going, hopefully you will destroy it before it explodes and
hurts you.
-
When your Action Gauge is full, activate Chaos Boost and Mephelis
will jump out of Shadow's shadow. Sometimes he will block your
attacks, but if he is attacking you he will let his guard down and
that's the time to bust out Chaos Attacks. Mephelis moves around a
lot, but the camera stays focused on him.
-
But it's not over! Suddenly Omega appears and now you just need to
keep attacking Mephelis, ignore the shadow creatures, the camera
will still stay on him, use Omega Shot especially until he's finally
defeated.
S-rank:
You need to defeat Mephelis as soon as possible before your Action
Gauge runs out, then for the Omega part keep focused on Mephelis,
Rings are not very important. If you have Memory Shard Black, Chaos
Blast works very well here and takes a lot of life from Mephelis.
NEW CITY: NEAR THE SHOP
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Meet up with Rouge in the warehouse district!
Support Character: Omega follows
New Items in Shop:
Memory Shard(red)- 6000 Rings
What to do:
You need to head to the warehouses. You don't need the Red Memory
Shard, but if you want it you can buy it. From where you start off
just turn to the right and head toward the warehouses, they are not
far. There are guards standing by, but ignore then and just jump
over the wall or gate, you will find Rouge inside.
NEW CITY: IN FRONT OF THE WAREHOUSES
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Head to the station!
What to do:
Go straight from where you start, then turn right at the large gray
building to find the train station to find the entrance to Radical
Train.
ACT 5: RADICAL TRAIN
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Race, Vehicle
Vehicle: Motorcycle (necessary to complete mission)
Mission Name: Follow Dr. Eggman!
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
Enemy Type: Eggman Robots
Tips:
Sonic had to save the train, but Shadow has to blow it up! You need
to find switches to stop the train in time in order to use
Homing/Chaos Attack to do damage. What you need to do especially if
you haven't played this level before is ignore enemies and get to
the switch as fast as possible. Here are the switch locations, they
are all near a closed door, you will have to press the switch on
time to stop the train so you can attack it or you will fail.
-
Switch 1: Under the two boxes to the right of the door.
Switch 2: In a cage, defeat the three enemies to open it.
-
Jump across pairs of scales quickly so you can get across them.
-
If you have trouble with the conveyor belts, run on the little ledge
in between them.
-
The Motorcycle is very hard to steer, plus you have to drive it off
boost ramps with perfect timing or you will smash into trains! This
takes practice basically. The last part you need to destroy the
train as soon as possible by firing at it with the machine gun, you
don't have to be very close to the train to destroy it. If the
motorcycle is damaged too much, you will probably die because Shadow
for some reason can't run fast enough to catch up with the train.
(Yeah I know, Shadow could outrun the train, but for gameplay
purposes they wanted to make it hard I guess)
-
There is another motorcycle at the beginning of the tracks, but I
find if I skip the first motorcycle the train is now farther away
and it's harder to catch up with it.
Hard Mode Tip:
Both switches are guarded by lots of enemies.
S-rank:
Keep Rings, for Hard Mode focus on enemies you have to kill and on
enemies worth lots of points, you won't make it in time if you kill
everything.
BOSS 4: SILVER THE HEDGEHOG
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Defeat Silver!
Difficulty: Medium-hard
How to beat him:
Mostly similar to Sonic's Silver Boss but in a more complex arena
including trains that can block your view of him. Just like in the
Sonic Episode he will use his psychokinesis to pick you up then
throw you against stuff, hurting or killing you.
-
The trick is Silver has to be close to you to use his powers. Run
away from him and when he uses his powers on objects you have a
chance to go in for a hit. You can tell when this is happening
because he will yell "How about this!" or "Take this!" Don't Homing
Attack him, use a kick while running, because if you jump near him
you have no chance because he will fling you up in the air making
you lose your Rings, then he will catch you again before you even
hit the ground and kill you.
-
You can make him fall down with Chaos Spear, but you can't stun him
like this.
S-rank:
A little tough, I suggest staying in the center part of the stage
between the two trains running back and fourth and turning around
quite frequently to see if he stopped and picked up objects. If he
is a little too close, you have a chance of getting away by using
Chaos Spear to knock him down then running.
ACT 6: AQUATIC BASE
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Support Character, Vehicle
Support Character: Meet Silver, Shadow follows Silver during this
section.
Vehicle: Motorcycle (not necessary)
Mission Name: Follow Mephelis!
Difficulty: Medium
Enemy Type: Monsters
Tips:
Hitting the lava worm things with the motorcycle will count as
multiple hits, if you want to.
-
Some gaps will have to be crossed by using Homing Attack on the
little silver balls, be careful, Chaos Boost might mess up these
parts for you.
-
There are devices in the level that are cylinder-shaped. Homing
Attack or press Attack near them to turn them on and they will glow
blue, killing all nearby enemies and drawing all small bubbles near
the device. This will get you lots of points.
S-rank:
All enemies will still leave you slightly short probably in Normal
Mode, in the last battle room, don't get the Ring Item Boxes before
you fight the enemies so if you are hit you won't lose those Rings
at least. In Hard Mode, there are enough enemies alone for an S-rank.
You are in Castle Town... but as soon as you move forward you are
thrown into a Town Mission.
TOWN MISSION #14
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Save the Archeologist!
Difficulty: Easy-medium
What to do:
Make sure the enemies don't kill the archeologist while destroying
them.
S-rank:
Less than 50 seconds with Rings.
CASTLE TOWN: IN FRONT OF THE GATE TO NEW CITY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Get the Scepter of Darkness!
Support Character: Rouge follows
New Items in Shop:
Memory Shard(black)- 10,000 Rings
What to do:
The archeologist will give you a puzzle about the priest's prayers
and a dark candle. People with Orange Exclamation points will talk
about three fountains. You need to go to the Priest's Fountain,
people will eventually point in the right direction, but the closest
path is to head to the right toward the gate to the Forest, then at
the gate make a left and go straight and you should find the
fountain. Use Chaos Spear on the four pillars around the fountain
and they will light up and the Scepter of Darkness will appear.
-
After you grab the Scepter, you will hear an order to go to Wave
Ocean. So you have to go back in the general direction you came. To
enter Wave Ocean, look for a spring near the water to get you across,
it's near where the rings appeared when Sonic used Light Dash to
this level, the spring is a little hard to see but it's there.
Dumb observation: The Priest statue is a woman, making her actually
a Priestess.
ACT 7: WAVE OCEAN
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Vehicle, Support Character
Support Character: Omega does one section
Vehicle: Glider, Buggy, Hovercraft. Only Glider and Hovercraft are
required.
Mission Name: Provide Backup for E-123 Omega!
Difficulty: Medium
Enemy Type: Monsters
Tips:
Glider part is easy.
-
At one point after the Omega section it's not clear where to go,
find a cave near the beach, you will press a switch inside that will
open up another cave.
-
The Goal Ring is over the water, use the Hovercraft to reach it.
Hard Mode Tip:
The switch near the end of the level has changed position, it's now
in the raised area on the beach you get to by first going past all
the huts and then hitting boost ramps.
S-rank:
There are so many enemies in this level you can S-rank it on enemies
points alone.
TOWN MISSION #15
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mission Name: Destroy the Enemies Invading from the Desert!
Support Characters: Rouge and Omega follow
Difficulty: Medium
What to do:
Destroy the monsters before they kill a person.
S-rank:
Focus on Worms at first, since they are leaders of a couple of
groups that are worth a lot of points. Use Chaos Boost toward the
end to go faster.
ACT 8: DUSTY DESERT
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: Vehicle, Support Character
Support Character: Omega finds a switch
Vehicle: Hovercraft (required)
Mission Name: Find the Chaos Emerald!
Difficulty: Medium
Enemy Type: Monsters
Tips:
Pillars appear leading you through the sandy first part of this
level on the hovercraft. Make sure you go directly in between each
set of pillars to make the next set appear. You can't simply go to
the next part, if all the pillars don't appear a door won't open.
-
You can explore more around the area, but make sure you go back to
the pillars afterwards. You will find nothing useful at all however.
-
The sand in the rooms that have waves of sand going through them is
solid and the waves will just push you to the beginning again, but
other sand that is at the bottom of the level is not and will kill
you if you touch it. Piles of sand on solid ground are okay to touch.
-
The platforms that move in and out of walls have a small ledge you
can still stand on next to the wall even if the platform goes away.
-
In the very large room filled with sand with Omega, after pushing
the switch you need to head back in the direction you came from,
more pillars have appeared on the other side of the Checkpoint.
-
The brown horizontal bars in the last wavy sand room can be Homing
Attack, press Jump when the glow that appears when you spin around
on them is brightest to jump off a long distance.
Hard Mode Tip: In the room that normally has a switch up high, the
switch has changed locations, now it is behind a vase, just to the
right of the entrance of this room.
S-rank:
Try to kill a pretty good amount of enemies in the hovercraft, but
don't linger at the part for too long. Kind of tight, Rings put you
over the top.
BOSS 5: MEPHELIS PHASE 2
Mission Name: Defeat Mephelis!
Support Characters: Rouge and Omega follow
Difficulty: Medium-hard
How to beat him:
The first part is just avoiding stuff falling on the ground, you
can't hurt Mephelis.
-
Second part is to defeat a bunch of giant shadow creatures. They
fire lasers at you or smash their hands into the ground creating a
shock wave and sometimes disappear then reappear somewhere else. The
trick to defeating them is to wait till their glowing pink core
shows, often before or after the laser attack. You first need to
throw a Chaos Spear at this core to stun the creature, then kill it
with Homing/Chaos Attack.
-
When your Action Gauge is full, use Chaos Boost to expose Mephelis.
He will attack you with energy attacks, but try to harm him as much
as possible before your Action Gauge runs out. He will make clones
of himself, but the camera will automatically focus on the real
Mephelis.
-
If you don't get Mephelis before your Action Gauge runs out, the
boss will cycle through again and you will have to kill more
creatures to fill your gauge.
-
Last hit is a little hard, he makes clones of himself in a spiral
and is at the very top. Use Homing Attack near a clone, then let
Chaos Snap work it's way up to Mephelis, keep pressing Attack seems
to help.
S-rank: You need to kill Mephelis the first time before your Action
Gauge runs out, kind of tight, but doable. Someone said Chaos Blast
is good here like in the first Mephelis boss, but Mephelis moves
around too much and I failed when I tried to use it here.
Congrats, you have beaten Shadow's Episode!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
8.d. Last Episode
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Unlock by beating Sonic's, Silver's and Shadow's Episodes.
ACT: END OF THE WORLD
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act type: 7 characters find the Chaos Emeralds
Characters: Tails, Omega, Knuckles, Silver, Rouge, Amy, Shadow
Mission Name: Collect the Chaos Emeralds and save Sonic!
Difficulty: Hard (varies by section)
Enemy Type: Monsters
Tips:
Beware the Eye of Mordor... this Act is split into 7 different parts
where each character has to find a Chaos Emerald, each part is a
distorted area of a regular Act and that info is listed below with
Character, Emerald, Act and Difficulty.
-
The main difficulty in all 7 parts is the giant eyeballs that will
slowly appear. The purple ones are not only deadly to the touch, but
they are magnetic and draw you toward them! The orange ones are not
deadly to the touch, but they throw boxes at you and
disappear/reappear(orange eyes throwing boxes, I didn't say this
level made any sense.)
-
The only good thing about the purple eyes is the fact they kill
nearby monsters.
-
There is a purple or orange shimmer before the eyeballs appear.
-
To temporarily get rid of the eyeballs, you need to touch or attack
the orbs that have an eagle statue on top, then use this small
window when the eyes are gone to go as far as possible!
-
Even if you are close to the eye, you can still pull away from their
grip by running. Knuckles and Rouge need to glide away from their
grip.
S-rank Tips:
You need to go out of your way and kill monsters, even with Rouge
and Knuckles, but don't take too long.
-
Also at the very end if you are going the most direct way, you can
jump off the last rail with Shadow and make it to a small platform
for about 40 Rings and a 1up, then hit the spring to the Chaos
Emeralds for about 5000 easy-to-get points!!!
Section 1: Yellow Emerald
Character/Act: Tails in part of Crisis City
Difficulty: Medium
The first Boost Ring is a little hard to reach, but after grabbing
it you still need to press Jump and fly again to make it to the
other side.
When on the side of the skyscraper, look to your right and you will
see a tall building with boxes and things on it, the Chaos Emerald
is there.
Section 2: Green Emerald
Character/Act: Omega in part of Flame Core
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
When starting off, hover to the left and catch the platforms over
there since that is near the next spring.
Next area, you need to kill the nearby enemies to open the door, the
eyes when they appear will help you with the task of killing them.
Thankfully an eagle statue awaits you on the other side of the door.
In the next lava room, stick to the left for the shortest path, but
to the right is an eagle statue. If you go to the Eagle Statue a
platform will eventually appear that will take you to the spring, or
you can just head directly to the spring. Find the spring on the far
left hand side of that room, then you just have to catch a platform
that is moving up and down to get to the Chaos Emerald, even if the
purple eyeball shows up it's actually pretty easy to stay on this
platform.
Section 3: Light Blue Emerald
Character/Act: Knuckles in part of Tropical Jungle
Difficulty: Medium
Fastest way is to glide a little to the left and climb up on the
platform with the four boxes, then jump off and glide a little to
the left to an Eagle State. Now keep heading toward the left of the
stage to find the Chaos Emerald.
Section 4: White Emerald
Character/Act: Silver in part of Dusty Desert
Difficulty: Hard
This one is pretty hard. Start off by just gliding between the
platforms till you reach the first Eagle Statues in front of the
stairs. (Yay, I figure out the correct way to do this). Now at the
top of the stairs, defeat all enemies and platforms will appear
across the sand, or you can jump from very up high, fall down or
land on the statues and barely make it across. Next part is mostly
just a bunch of breaking free from eyeballs and levitating across
gaps, but behind one eyeball is another Eagle Statue. Now run as
fast as you can and get to the part with the platforms that come in
and out of the wall. Instead of timing your jumps, you can just land
on the tiny ledges by the wall to make your way upwards. Now in
front of you is a quicksand gap, it's very hard to cross this if the
eyeballs appear so hurry and levitate across it to the stairs! If
the eyeballs do appear you need to go as far left as possible before
levitating to the stairs to get out of the pull of the eye to the
right. Now go straight ahead past a giant monster and the Chaos
Emerald is on it's own little platform you can jump and levitate to,
but you can also make another platform appear to the Chaos Emerald
by killing all the monsters.
Section 5: Purple Emerald
Character/Act: Rouge in part of Wave Ocean
Difficulty: Easy-medium
This one is easy if you cheat... you can climb way up high on the
stone pillars and just keep gliding toward the far end of the area
from stone pillar to stone pillar, you won't even encounter eyeballs
up here. Or you can get more points by gliding from platform to
platform killing enemies along the way. The Chaos Emerald is on the
right part of the beach before you get to the lighthouse.
Section 6: Blue Emerald
Character/Act: Amy in part of White Acropolis
Difficulty: Medium-hard
In some places it's easier to double jump to another high platform
instead of using a spring because the eyeballs might get in the way.
At the end, you need to kill all the enemies to open a door, make
sure to touch the eagle statue nearby before going through the
tunnel that leads to the Chaos Emerald or eyeballs will make it a
lot more difficult.
Don't use Invisibility, because she will be paralyzed for a couple
seconds after she reappears, and in that time she could be sucked
into an eye and can't do anything about it.
Section 7: Red Emerald
Character/Act: Shadow in part of Kingdom Valley
Difficulty: Medium-hard
Basically all the normal Kingdom Valley level elements like ropes
and wind-rails are complicated a little bit by purple eyeballs. Also
remember to wait for the eagle to appear to take you to another area.
There happens to be a few routes though this section to the Chaos
Emerald at the end, but the most direct route is best IMO and you
can even take it to get an S-rank.
Random Observatin: This is extremely similar to what happens in
Sonic Rush if you think about it... Solaris, Sol Emeralds, the link is
obvious :P
BOSS: SOLARIS PHASE 1, SOLARIS PHASE 2
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Characters: Super Sonic, Super Shadow and Super Silver
Mission Name: Defeat Solaris!
Stop the out-of-control Solaris!
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
As in all 3D Sonic Extra Bosses easy to beat if you know exactly
what to do. Before I describe how to beat this boss, first I will
describe the moves of the three Super hedgehogs:
Super Sonic:
Starts off with an empty Action Gauge
D pad: Move up, down, left or right.
Attack button: Homing Attack, if your Action Gauge is full this
attack becomes faster and a lot more powerful, this attack is pretty
much useless if the Action Gauge is not full.
Jump button: Keeping the Jump button pressed will allow Super Sonic
to move faster.
Special Action: Hold down to charge up the Action Gauge.
Y or Triangle button: Switch to Super Shadow
Super Shadow:
Starts off with an empty Action Gauge
D pad: Move up, down, left or right.
Attack button: Red Chaos Spear, this attack does nothing really if
your Action Gauge is not full.
Jump button: Keeping the Jump button pressed will allow Super Shadow
to move faster.
Special Action: Hold down to charge up the Action Gauge. (Charges up
more quickly than Sonic's)
Y or Triangle button: Switch to Super Silver
Super Silver:
Starts off with a full Action Gauge, Action Gauge recharges
automatically if not using Telekenesis.
D pad: Move up, down, left or right.
Attack button: Throw an object held by Telekenesis
Jump button: Keeping the Jump button pressed will allow Super Silver
to move faster.
Special Action: Press and Hold to pick up spiky balls coming at you
with Telekenesis. This will use up some of your Action Gauge. Unlike
his normal kenesis, you need to keep the Right Trigger pressed down
to hold on to and even when throwing the objects.
Y or triangle button: Switch to Super Sonic
Super Differences: Sonic needs more time to charge up, but does more
damage in one hit than Shadow, but overall Shadow is the easiest to
work with. Silver does a small amount of damage with only one spiky
ball, but more if he throws a lot at once, but more than one or two
tend to explode before reaching Solaris. He is the hardest to use
because you have to carefully catch objects then throw them and that
takes some time plus the fact the projectiles can indeed explode
before reaching their target.
To properly attack with Sonic and Shadow you need to charge up the
Action Gauge with the Special Action button before attacking with
the Attack button, while Silver can float around and pick up spiky
balls coming from red objects surrounding Solaris and throw them
straight back, but you do have to rest a little to recharge his
Action Gauge. Keeping the Jump button pressed also will allow you to
move faster and avoid Solaris's attacks easier. Try circling around
the boss or just picking a direction, right or left and moving to
avoid Solaris's lasers and projectiles.
Think of this boss as being a mixture of the Extra Boss of Sonic
Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes, if you are familiar with those games.
You can only control one Super character at a time but by pressing
the Switch button you can switch to the next character if you Rings
are running low or if you find you can't attack the boss.
About Rings, like in other Super battles you start with 50 Rings
that slowly tick away, but also if you are hit by Solaris's Attacks
you will lose about 10 Rings! If you run low on Rings with one
character, switch to another character for a while and you will find
the longer you play as the other characters the character that is
low on Rings will recover even more Rings.
This boss has two sections. During the first section, you can only
damage the boss with only one certain character at a time, Solaris
will block attacks from the other two characters with a blue shield.
When you damaged him enough with one character part of Solaris
breaks off and now he can be attacked with a different character.
The character order is Silver, Shadow, Sonic, then any character. If
you run low on Rings with the correct character switch and wait
around with the other two characters to charge up the character you
need with a lot of Rings.
The second section is different, Solaris ups his attacks quite a bit.
The trick here is Solaris will block attacks when he is just
standing there, but when Solaris is sending out Lasers he puts his
guard down and you can attack with any character you want to, but
Sonic and Shadow seem to do a little better with this section than
Silver.
Note: I am not sure, but it's possible you need to attack with
someone other than Sonic first, but after I attack it with Shadow
you can attack it with anyone.
S-rank:
(Strange Observation: I can S-rank this easily first time in Episode
Select Mode, but I can't do it easily when I select it from Trial
Select. I don't know if you get extra bonus points for beating it
the first time, or what is going on.)
Hit Solaris pretty soon, but I find Rings are very important, end
the boss with a character that has a lot of Rings, you can purposely
do that by getting him down to almost nothing at the end, then
switching to a Super Character that has 50 Rings and killing it very
quickly. I suggest Shadow for this final blow since he can attack
faster than the other Super Characters.
Congrats, you have beaten Last Episode!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
9. Missions:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Missions include the Acts, Bosses and the Town Missions. You
complete an Act Mission by finding the Goal Ring, a Boss Mission by
defeating the Boss and a Town Mission by completing whatever task is
given to you. Based upon how many points you have earned from Rings,
Time Left and other bonuses, you will be Ranked (S, A, B, C and D)
and awarded Rings. Rankings are covered in their own section.
(Note, this game calls Acts and Bosses and ACT mission.)
You find Missions in Episode Mode, then once you beat them in story
you can select "Trail Select" from the menu and replay them again to
get a higher ranking.
To find Town Missions after you beat Episode Mode you need to return
to Episode Mode again to get back into the Town Stages and then find
people with Blue Exclamation Points over their head, look for blue
dots on the small map. For Sonic and Shadow, you can go to Forest
and New City from Castle Town, but the gate between Forest and New
City is closed.
For Silver, you can go to Castle Town and New City from Forest, but
the gate between Castle Town and New City is closed.
Almost all Act Stages are not available in Episode Mode again and
will have to be selected through the Trail Select option. The Acts
open in the Episodes when they are 100% complete:
Sonic: Aquatic Base
Silver: Kingdom Valley
Shadow: Dusty Desert
You can select Hard Mode for each normal Act in the Trail Select
Screen. There are a couple tips for some of the Hard Mode levels in
the Walkthroughs section. Hard Mode is basically like Normal Mode
except more enemies have been added, more level obstacles and in
some cases puzzles slightly changed.
Gold Medals are like Emblems in other 3D Sonic Games and are earned
by completing certain tasks. You get Gold Medals for a variety of
things, in Act Missions you can get one for completing the Act,
Getting an S rank, completing Hard Mode, Getting an S rank on hard
mode and finding 10 Silver Medals. Gold Medals are disused further
in their own section and also in the Gold Medal Section is a listing
of all Gold Medals you can earn for each Act, Boss and Town Mission.
Sonic, Shadow and Silver have their own set of Missions and
different Act and Boss orders, below is a listing of locations and
brief description of all Town Missions and following is a list
summary of all three character's Act/Boss and Town Missions.
All people mentioned in the Town Missions locations have Blue

10. Points and Ranking:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Points:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Earn Ranks in Acts, Bosses and Town Missions by earning lots of
Points. Points are obtainable through Time Remaining, Rings, Item
Boxes, defeating many Enemies at once and other things, Time and
Enemies being the most important ones.
Here are some of the more common Point values, I'll have to figure
out the Time Bonuses later:
Enemies:
1 hit to defeat- 100 Points
2 hits to defeat- 120 Points
3 hits to defeat- 300 Points
4 or 5 hits to defeat- 1000 Points
Multiple enemy at one time Bonus-
(if you destroy the leader of the group, the leader doesn't count as
part of the bonus)
600 for 3, 500 more for each enemy over 3
Rings: 10 Points for picking one up, 100 Points for each Ring at the
end.
1up, Gauge up, Speed Shoes and Invincibility Item Boxes: 200 Points
Rainbow Hoops: 1000 Points,
Increasing bonus for more hoops: 2600, 4600, 8000, 12000 etc...
Destroyed Box/destroyed or damaged Barrel/Oil Drum: 20 Points
Defeating Boss: 10000 Points.
Time Bonus (completing entire mission):
I have seen inconsistencies between Missions in this area, usually a
time under 1 minute is a guaranteed S-rank.
I have noted for Acts, the bonus seems to go down 40 Points for
every 2 Seconds. For Bosses, the rate is higher.
Finding Stuff in Certain Town Missions or Acts: Varies, here are a
few objects only found in some missions:
Orange Rings: 100 Points
Bronze Medals: 1000 Points
Red and White Barricade Destroyed: 500 Points
Destroyed Searchlight: 1000 Points
Ranking:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Highest Rank is S, then A, B, C and D. Each Rank also has a Ring
Bonus that varies by mission, but you can only get a Ring Bonus in
Episode Mode, not Trial Select Mode, so sadly you can't earn more
Rings after you beat Story Mode unless you beat the last few stages
in Story Mode over again.
For each S rank you receive you get a Gold Medal, talked about in a
later section.
Note: I think the Rankings/Ring Bonuses are mostly consistent for
Acts, Bosses and Town Missions and are as follows, if this is
incorrect for even one mission please correct me.
Ghaw, even after all this time I am finding problems, I will have to
complete the entire game again and pay very careful attention to the
Ranking
I have recently made more changes... but I can't get motivated to
check for each and every one... the most important thing is Acts
require 50,000 points to S-rank, and most Bosses/Town Missions
30,000. They mostly differ in Ring Bonus and two Town Missions that
require more than 30,000 points:
Most Normal/Hard Acts:

Tips:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Don't die! If you die you lose all of your points and you will start
at a checkpoint with 0! Everything you gained from attacking enemies,
grabbing Ring, catching Rainbow Hoops, etc... up to that point will
be gone. The only Act I regularly S-rank after I died was Crisis
City, and that's only by grabbing tons of Rings in the Super Speed
Section. I have also gotten away with dying if I die pretty early on
in the Act sometimes.
Try to kill a lot of enemies at once for extra points by either
killing the lead enemy in some groups, it's different from other
enemies or by some other means, like in Aquatic Base with the
devices. You also get a multi-enemy bonus for killing more than
three enemies at one time with a Fire Box. Try throwing lots of
picked up enemies with Silver into a Fire Box, or throwing the Fire
Box into a group of enemies...
For some missions and especially for the Town Missions a very fast
time is enough for an S-rank, but defeating enemies and Rings also
contribute a lot of points in Act Missions. Rings are important for
some bosses. Most Acts are a balance between enemy killing and time,
most bosses and Town Missions are mostly time.
Time is more important for S-ranking some missions, Enemies in
others.
Rings count for points when you first pick them up and a Ring Bonus
at the end.

11. Silver Medals:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
New! I have written a Guide to all 380 Silver Medal Locations that
can be found on GameFAQs.com
Silver Medals are found in Town Areas and Acts. Grabbing Silver
Medals help you get Gold Medals. All 10 in an Act and all with one
character in the Town Stages will earn you a Gold Medal.
Finding all Silver Medals in the game if you have an Xbox 360 will
earn you an Achievement, Silver Medalist that is worth 50 Gamer
Points.
When you get all Silver Medals for one character in the Town Areas,
you won't see a Gold Medal screen for the Gold Medal you just earned,
but you will find it listed in the Gold Medal Results section.
To get Silver Medals in the Acts after completing an Episode, just
simply choose that Act in Trial Select, but note that Silver Medals
do not appear in Hard Mode.
To find Silver Medals in the Soleanna Town Areas after you beat an
Episode you need to return to Episode Mode again to get back into
the Town Areas. Some Gates are closed, but you can still get into
all three Town Areas as follows:
For Sonic and Shadow, you can go to Forest and New City from Castle
Town, but the gate between Forest and New City is closed.
For Silver, you can go to Castle Town and New City from Forest, but
the gate between Castle Town and New City is closed.
Note that if you have not completed the Episode yet, you will not be
able to travel to all Town Areas.
Silver Medal Totals:
Sonic: 130
Silver: 120
Shadow: 120
Last Episode: 10
Total: 380
Tips:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
If you hear the medal noise, you are very close. You can hear this
noise better if you turn off the level music in Extras/Sound. Not
all Silver Medals can be found this way because they are not visible
and don't make a noise until you do something else in-level.
If you die after grabbing a Silver Medal, you will still have it if
you have more lives left when you complete the Act. You will have
all the Silver Medals you have picked up if you make it to the end
of the Act and then Save the Game afterwards. But if you get a Game
Over you will lose it.
Dying to grab a Silver Medal comes in handy because you can grab a
Silver Medal even if it causes you to lose one life, but hurts you
if like me you grab a hidden Medal, but it doesn't register in your
mind you never got to the end of the level with it... I literally was
looking for Silver Medals that I didn't need to because I thought I
had one I really didn't.
Silver Medals like to hide on the other side of pillars, so turn
around quite a bit if you are looking for them.
They like to hide in areas of the level that are harder to get to.
They also like to hide in objects like boxes, vases and statues. You
will usually see a little bit of a glow coming from the object, but
sometimes you can't see it till you smash something.
Some Silver Medals will only appear if you defeat certain enemies or
even do other random things. Usually it's a group of enemies you
don't normally have to defeat to continue on with the Act, often
they will appear shortly after defeating one group of enemies, so
wait around a bit after killing everything in the area.
Also when you defeat a group of enemies, look behind you, the Silver
Medal will sometimes appear in back of you.
Most enemy killing Silver Medals are in Shadow's Episode, but there
are in Sonic's and Silver's Episodes also.
In Castle Town, a lot of Silver Medals hang out on rooftops. If you
explore enough, you will find springs that will take you up there.
Sonic can use the Purple Gem to Infinite Jump so you can reach many
Silver Medals with a little persistence, just remember you can't do
this during Boarding, Princess, and Super Speed sections.
Silver can stand on a box and use his psychokenesis to levitate to
higher areas which will allow him to reach several Silver Medals.
Shadow can stop in mid-air by just pressing and holding the Attack
button to charge up a Chaos Spear. This helps Shadow get Silver
Medals he needs to fall into because you can stop, adjust your fall
then stop again to steer. Don't Jump Dash however until the very end,
or you will not be able to stop using Chaos Spear anymore.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
11.a. Hard to Get Silver Medal Locations:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Most Silver Medals are easy to find if you kill everything in the
level, smash everything and remember to look behind you a lot and
turn the music off so you can hear the medal sound better and
trample about the rooftops of Soleanna. But some of them are just
plain very hard to find and frustrate people, while others you can
see them... but how do you get them? So there is a list of the harder-
to-find Silver Medals.
The locations of all 380 Silver Medals are already up on
GameFAQs.com, and hopefully in the future the Silver Medal in the
Town Areas will be mapped out.
Have some that bother you? Ask me and I might include them, they
probably need to be in this guide too if they truly are hard to find.
Note: I fixed this section after working on the full guide... I
remembered Silver Medals not really there, one character's Silver
Medals can confuse me to where they are at for other characters.
Sonic:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Wave Ocean:
One seems to be hard to find for some people, even though I found it
pretty easily. There are two Silver Medals in the Super Speed Area's
palm tree forest. One is pretty easy to see, but the other one is
hidden pretty well, it's in the last part of the forest section.
Also another one that might give you trouble, with Tails make sure
to throw Dummy Rings at rock formations to expose a Silver Medal.
Crisis City:
There is one Silver Medal that is hiding in a high place in the
Whirlwind Section near the checkpoint. I didn't find it until I flew
over the area with the Purple Gem.
There are two in the Super Speed section. One is between the second
and third pipes in a box, can be very hard to see.
Another is near the end to the far right of the stage you have to
jump at the perfect right time to get it, let a line of Rings line
you up correctly by using Light Dash on them, then jump.
Flame Core:
In the very last tube you are falling down before you hit the Goal
Ring, there are four monsters that appear clinging to the walls, you
have to kill all four and a Silver Medal will appear on the ground
below. It's hard because they are next to fire columns, plus if you
fall off the side of the tube and fall straight down you can't
Homing Attack. The trick is to run quickly down the side of the tube
and don't lose your grip till you are at the monsters, use Sonic's
Yellow Gem, Thunderguard and he will be completely protected from
the fire, and even Purple Gem to get back up there if you fall too
far down... actually I never used the Purple Gem here, but why not?
Except for the fact you might have to climb up to the top of the
tube again...
Radical Train:
In the Super Speed Section, one is floating before a line of Rings,
keep tapping Attack to grab the Light Dash and you might get it.
Also, in two different spots in the Super Speed Section, a Silver
Medal is on the left most speed booster ramp.
Kingdom Valley:
Near the end of the first section, before the Eagle takes you to
Silver, there is a Silver Medal hidden on a small platform with a
tree on it. I got here with the Purple Gem, or you can jump to it..
There is also a cave in this section with a hidden Silver Medal,
it's hard to get to the cave the normal way, so here's a
walkthrough:
Starting from the beginning of the level on the normal path, take
the second Eagle Ride. Then when you see a Rainbow Hoop, it's
easiest to catch it, but it doesn't matter. After landing off the
next air rail, turn to your right and you will see it behind the
rocks blocking the entrance to the cave.
Soleanna Forest:
There is a Silver Medal in the building under the entrance to
Kingdom Valley, there is a bridge to the right of the three pillars
area that takes you there.
Shadow:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Crisis City:
Second section of the stage when you are on the spiraling Rails,
there is a Silver Medal that is floating in mid-air, it is high
above the rail you jump on to reach the Rainbow Hoop. As soon as you
reach this section, jump off the rails! Hold Attack to charge Chaos
Spear to keep yourself suspended in mid-air, drop a little, keep
doing this while panning the camera with right stick till the Silver
Medal appears below you, and control your fall till you grab it. It
might take several tries. (Thanks to Turrican for telling me how to
grab it properly)
Flame Core:
There are a lot of Silver Medals here that don't appear till you
kill enemies.
In the room that comes before the Rouge section, after the
checkpoint and after all the springs you will land on a small
platform in the lava with a circle of Rings on it. Pick up each and
every one of those Rings, and flying purple monsters will suddenly
appear, Homing Attack them to reach a high rail with the Silver
Medal on it. The Medal will not be there if you don't grab all of
the Rings.
The Silver Medal in the tube before you get to the Goal Ring is
tricky, use the same Chaos Spear trick described in the Crisis City
section to control your fall and steer you to the Silver Medal.
Don't worry about the fire, if you fall perfectly in the middle the
fire won't hurt you.
Wave Ocean:
I missed one for a while in the Glider section, it's to the far
right of the second crumbling tower section.
There is also one at the end of Omega's section people miss, kill
the three orange worm enemies to make even more enemies appear, kill
all the enemies that show up for a Silver Medal.
Soleanna: Forest
Same one I described for Sonic.
Also there is one in a branch of the forest tree closest to the
Field. To reach it, hit the spring on the ground next to the small
tree to get on top of a dead tree. Now face the tree with the Silver
Medal in it and jump into the leaves. Once you get just below the
leaves, Hold Attack to charge up Chaos Spear to hang in mid-air to
spot the Silver Medal, then Jump Dash toward it once you have aimed.
Silver:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(I had the least trouble with Silver, but others might have more
problems than me, tell me which ones belong here!)
Crisis City:
After the Blaze section, you might get excited because you see a
Silver Medal ahead... but when standing on that road under your feet
below the end of the road is a box with another Silver Medal, it's
easy to look over.
White Acropolis:
At the beginning hug the left wall to find a secret shortcut, follow
the twisting path to the left for a Silver Medal.
Flame Core:
In the room between the two "dark" rooms with the checkpoint, you
need to kill all the enemies to make a Silver Medal appear.
Soleanna: Forest
Same one I described for Sonic
Last Episode (End of the World):
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Shadow's Section:
The last one is way up high in the air before you get to the Chaos
Emerald. To properly reach it, starting from the beginning on the
normal path take the second Eagle Ride. Then when you see a Rainbow
Hoop, it's easiest to catch it, or you can Homing Attack the flying
monsters. When you get to the second Air Rail after that, don't jump
on it. Instead, jump at the green orb again on the Eagle Statue. The
Air Rail will change and lead to the Silver Medal.

These are listed in your gamer profile. You earn Gamer Points

friends.(I thought you could buy stuff with them but I hear you
can't. I still don't have an Xbox Live account myself since I lack
high-speed.)
NOTE: Yes, I have gotten all achievements myself finally. I have now
updated them with the descriptions form the game with my notes in
parentheses and the pictures that go with them. (But these are not
Gamer Pics unfortunately... how sad, how much I would have loved that
Blaze pic.)
Unfortunately, GameFAQs.com won't change their list to make it
clearer... oh well.
I have seen this asked, no themes or gamer pics unlocked with this
game. You can buy Gameer Pics and Themes related to this game with
Microsoft Points on Xbox Live.

14. Two-player:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I don't have another person to play with, so the best I can do is a
basic description based on the Booklet and a little bit of info from
a couple of people.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
14.a. Battle Mode:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A split-screen competition game played by two players. Use any
techniques at your disposal to beat the opponent to the Goal Ring. A
second controller is required to play this mode.
(Note, I have a second controller and messed with it a little, you
get to choose if you want to play in Wave Ocean, Dusty Desert, White
Acropolis, Crisis City, Flame Core, Kingdom Valley or Aquatic Base.
Character Select-
Choose one of the main characters of the Single Player games.
Rings-
Attack your opponent to damage them, and pick-up the Rings they drop.
Players are repositioned to restart from where they last touched the
Point Marker if they are damaged with no Rings.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
14.b. Tag Mode:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A two-player game where each player takes on of the main characters,
and they work together to collect Chaos Emeralds. The Act Stages are
designed in such a way that the two characters must assist one
another to complete the missions. A second controller is required to
play this mode.
(Note I have messed with this a little, I know you start out in Wave
Ocean... but I can't get too far by myself it seems.)
Starting the Game-
Select the TAG STORY to begin a new game or continue a game you've
previously saved. Alternatively, select TAG TRAIL to retry Stages
that have already been cleared in the Tag Story mode.
Rings and Lives-
Although each player collects their own Rings, the number of lives
are shared by the two players. When one of the players loses a life,
that player will restart from the nearest Point Marker that the team
already passed. If a player loses a life and there are no remaining
lives, the game is over for both players.
Teamwork-
Critical areas where strategy and teamwork will be needed are
waiting for you and your partner. In most cases, destroying nearby
enemies or hitting the switch will open the way to advance the Stage.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
18. Downloadable Content:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Extra things for this game you can download off the Online Services
of Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. I cannot get this content myself,
because of my internet connection and the fact I DID trade in this
game toward Sonic and the Secret Games, so I can only say what
others tell me about it.
Downloadable Content as of 3/20/07:
Download 1: Very Hard Mode (3 different ones)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Asia, North America and Europe
Price: 200 Microsoft Points for each one. (about 4 US Dollars each)
Consoles: As of this date, Xbox 360 only in US/Europe (haven't been
told as of 2/20 it's out for PS3, Xbox 360 and PS3 in Asia. It
should be available to PS3 users in the West soon hopefully.
Very Hard Move available as separate downloads for Sonic, Shadow and
Silver.
I have heard it might not show until you have completed the rest of
the game 100%.
According to the Sonic Stadium and other sources I have read, Super
Hard Mode is mostly some level, spring changes, but there are some
radical differences, like playing Wave Ocean as Sonic in reverse,
Sonic goes through Dusty Desert without Elise, Omega and Rouge show
up in Shadow's Crisis City, and the hard paths through levels are
often the only ones open.
You need 100,000 points to earn an S-rank.
Download 2: Team Attack Amigo
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Europe, (North America?)
Price: 150 Microsoft Points
Consoles: So far Xbox 360.
Team Attack Amigo is a End of the World-like level including Tails,
Blaze and Omega and ends with the Egg Genesis boss. There are signs
more of this Amigo episode with more characters might appear soon.
It is scored as one level, and you need 150,000 points to get an S-
rank.
The level order is:
Tails:
Crisis City
Radical Train
Kingdom Valley
Blaze:
Tropical Jungle
Aquatic Base
Omega:
Dusty Desert
White Acropolis
Boss: Egg Genesis
(Thanks to such25 from Sonicanime.net for the level list, I also got
info from GameFAQs and Sonic Stadium posts.)
Download 3: Boss Attack (Three different ones)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Price: 360- 150 Microsoft Points for each one
Consoles: 360 so far
Boss Attack mode for Sonic, Shadow and Silver. You need to have
completed the respective character's episode to play them. Play
several bosses in a row. Bosses are harder and a few are areas where
you are faced with tons of enemies.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
19. Fun Glitches and Junk:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yeah, most of the game's glitches are annoying, but I have come
across the occasional fun glitch or other silly thing. These listed
below are usually easy to do unless stated otherwise. I can't
remember when I read all of these... a couple I discovered myself
If you know of another fun glitch, I'll appreciate adding it to the
list!
Sonic in Silver's section of Sonic Kingdom Valley/Two Sonics
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Item needed: Purple Gem
When playing Sonic's Kingdom Valley, when you get to Silver, instead
of touching him, use Purple Gem and start to infinite Jump. Jump to
the left and you will eventually find a hold in the invisible wall.
Now you can get to the rest of Silver's section and play it as Sonic,
you will need to skip parts with Purple Gem. When you get to the end,
don't go down the stairs, instead Purple Gem jump to the platform
ahead and you will find another Sonic standing there waiting for
you!
See Knuckles' Ending Pose!
(based on video from Sonic Cult and trying it myself)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Knuckles is the only playable character in the game that doesn't
finish a mission, so what does he do and say when he finishes a
level? To find out, play Sonic's Flame Core. When you are Knuckles,
go to the highest light in the room and glide to the right and climb
up that wall. At the top, keep pressing up while jumping. You should
be able to easily glitch to the other side of the wall if you keep
trying, but start gliding right away or you will fall into a black
pit. Glide to the left and make it to the checkpoint. You will see
Sonic standing there, but don't touch him, but for some reason if
you want to see his ending pose you have to touch the checkpoint.
Now you can play the rest of Flame Core as Knuckles and finish the
level as him, but note you cannot climb on walls in this section.
Foolin' around in Soleanna:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Various little things I have observed playing around...
Freak out humans/dogs:
Pretty easy one to notice, if you attack a human/dog, they will
react in various ways, a human will often scream and will even get
out of a chair if they are sitting down, while a dog will bark at
you.
Soccer Craziness! (Or football if you prefer)
Early in Silver's Episode when you are first in the Forest Town Area,
you will find a soccer ball, when you find it you can pick it up
with pk and kick it and stuff all around.
Ride the Gondolas!
Just jump on in, the people already in the boats don't seem to mind.
Your support/amigo character will go crazy however and might keep
falling in the water and dying over and over again...
Play with the Giant Empty Barrel!
There is a giant empty barrel near Wave Ocean's entrance you can
jump in. Silver can also pick it up. It's weird to make it roll on
it's side and then try to jump in it. Also, I once somehow got
Silver and Blaze the barrel when it was on it's side, then picked it
up with his pk, and it landed and the barrel flipped perfectly on
top of both of them bottom-side up. I was never able to repeat that...
Amigo jumping all over a person...
If you position yourself and your support character just right, that
character will jump like crazy to get to you next to a person, while
the human just stands there, head going crazy up and down looking at
your Amigo.
Kill your Amigo!
I notice this happens when your support character has just died some
other way, like by falling in the water, and they reappear on ground
that is below you in level, I think... anyway, they die randomly and
just lie there with their eyes open and will not move unless you
walk a good distance away from them. More creepy than anything.
Silver's Apple Festival S-rank Glitch:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This is more of a helpful glitch but it's kind of funny you can get
an S-rank by killing yourself, just put in 50 apples into the
barrels, then jump off the side of the bridge.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
