=================================
2.1 Sonic's Adventure Walkthrough
=================================

The game starts right out with a boss battle.

-------------
Boss: Chaos 0
-------------
Hits to Defeat: 3

Chaos 0 is amazingly easy. Grab a ring or two, then hit him with a homing 
spin attack (Jump, then A in the air) when he stands still. When he's not 
vulnerable, run around to avoid his attacks.

The next day, you'll see Tails, in a plane, crash into a nearby beach. Run 
toward the beach to begin stage one, Emerald Coast.

When you return to Station Square, Tails will present you will a Chaos 
Emerald, and tell you to come to his workshop in the Mystic Ruins. Go into 
the hotel, out the door to the right, up the stairs and into the door at the 
top. Run up the next flight of stairs and enter the train to go to the Mystic 
Ruins.

Once you exit the train, go to the right, and up the steps next to the hill. 
You'll engage in a battle with Eggman.

----------------
Boss: Egg Hornet
----------------
Hits to Defeat: 3

Another easy boss battle. Just wait until the Egg Hornet digs, and then hit 
the cockpit. As long as you make sure you always have at least one ring, 
you'll be fine.

Go up the stairs, and then grab the crystal in front of the Tails' Workshop. 
Go down the steps, and then go straight, to the lake. On the right, you'll 
find a cave. Enter, and then put the crystal on the pedestal. Go into the 
gusts of wind to enter level two, Windy Valley.

When you beat the level, go back to the train and return to Station Square. 
Exit the train station, then go to Sonic's right and follow the road. You 
should find an open manhole. Jump down into it. Go straight, and then jump 
onto the ledge to find the Light Speed Shoes. Charge up the Light Speed Dash, 
then hit the button and use the Light Speed Dash to follow the path of rings 
out of the sewers. Go back to the hotel, and then enter the door you haven't 
accessed yet. Hit the button to make a path of rings appear, and then use the 
Light Speed Dash to follow it. The casino doors are now open, so enter stage 
three, Casinopolis.

After beating it, you'll see another crystal appearing down a nearby alley. 
Grab it, and then go back to the Mystic Ruins. A cinema scene will show a 
cliff exploding, revealing another cave. Enter, put the crystal on the 
pedestal, and then go in the door and up the path to enter stage four, Ice 
Cap.

Upon completion, head to the left side of the lake. You will have to fight 
knuckles.

-------------------
Mini-Boss: Knuckles
-------------------
Hits to Defeat: 3

Once again, very simple. Wait until he stops attacking, and then hit him from 
the back or the side. When you beat him, Eggman will show up, steal your two 
Chaos Emeralds, feed them to chaos, and then set the monster on you.

-------------
Boss: Chaos 4
-------------
Hits to Defeat: 5

Tougher then the others, but still easy. Jump around and avoid his attacks, 
and then hit him when he surfaces. You can stand on the water, but don't stay 
in the same place too long or you'll sink and lose rings.

Now, head to Tails' Workshop, and you'll engage in the first mini-game, Sky 
Chase Act 1.

You'll end up getting shot down, and Sonic will land back at the hotel. Go to 
the part of town where the casino is. You'll see a cinema scene with Amy. 
Head back to the part of town near the main entrance to the train station, 
then head near the capsule-like thing to find Amy again. A robot will appear. 
Sonic wants to take it on, but Amy will instead go into Twinkle Park. Sonic 
will have to choice but to follow her into level five, Twinkle Park.

Once you beat it, you'll be in a small room. On the left is a door, you can 
enter it to play a mini-game, or head down to another door that leads back 
into town.

When you exit, you'll see an ID card appear in a patch of grass in front of 
the train station. Grab it, then go to the garage (it's right next to Twinkle 
Park). The door will open, so enter the elevator to go to stage six, Speed 
Highway.

Back in town, go to the casino to see the robot carrying Amy to the Mystic 
Ruins. Go into the train station, and then hop a train to the Mystic Ruins.

Go in the same tunnel you used to get to the Icecap stage, but this time go 
all the way through and out the door on the other side. Go along the cliff 
until you see the Ancient Light upgrade. Get it, and then go to the right 
until you see a monkey in a cage. Use the Light Speed Dash to destroy it, and 
then go into the newly opened gateway for level seven, Red Mountain.

When you destroy the capsule at the end, Tails will show up in an airplane. 
Sonic will jump on, and then you'll engage in Sky Chase Act 2.

When you land on the Egg Carrier, go up, and Eggman will transform the ship. 
After that, go up and in the door for level eight, Sky Deck.

If you make it through, you'll have to fight E-102Y.

-----------------
Mini-Boss: E-102Y
-----------------
Hits to Defeat: 3

He's a pushover. Just use the homing attack a few times, and he'll be beaten.

After you beat the robot, there will be a door to your left. Enter, press the 
button, and Light Speed Dash up them. Jump in the chair, and when it moves 
forward, go behind it and push the button to transform the Egg Carrier back 
to normal. Go through the door, and then go to the center of the deck to 
fight Chaos 6.

-------------
Boss: Chaos 6
-------------
Hits to Defeat: 4

When Eggman drops the bomb things, hit one with a homing attack, then pick it 
up, chuck it at Chaos to freeze him, and hit him to damage him. Repeat until 
you beat him.

Sonic will jump off the ship, trying to catch Eggman, but miss. He'll fall to 
a new section of the Mystic Ruins. A light will go into the temple. Follow it 
to stage nine, Lost World.

At this point, you will be transported to the Emerald Shrine. Run forward for 
a cinema, and then you'll be transported back to the Mystic Ruins.

Go as far north as you can to see the docking station of the Egg Carrier. 
Enter, and then go to the door with six buttons around it. Press them until 
all are lit up, and then go into the door to level ten, Final Egg.

When you finish Final Egg, you'll have to fight Eggman again.

---------------
Boss: Egg Viper
---------------
Hits to Defeat: 7

Run around to avoid the laser fire, and when Eggman comes out to laugh, 
homing-attack the green things on the tail, then hit Eggman. When he comes up 
and starts throwing spinning blades at you, jump on top of them, and then hit 
Eggman when you get close. Once you deplete all his health, he'll crash into 
the platform, so make sure you're not near him when he does that. This is a 
pretty tough battle, so it may take you a few tries to win. If you do, 
congrats, you've beaten the game with Sonic!

================================
2.2 Tails' Adventure Walkthrough
================================

When you gain control of Tails, go through the hotel to the train station and 
hop a train to the Mystic Ruins. Go to the right and up the stairs and you'll 
have to fight Eggman in his Egg Hornet.

----------------
Boss: Egg Hornet
----------------
Hits to Defeat: 3

Just wait until the Egg Hornet digs, and then hit the cockpit. As long as you 
make sure you always have at least one ring, you'll be fine.

When you beat him, go up the steps to Tails' Workshop and grab the crystal in 
front of the door. Go down to the right side of the lake, in the cave, and 
then put the crystal on the pedestal. Jump in the gusts of wind to start the 
first level, Windy Valley.

Once you complete it, head back to Station Square. Go to the casino area, 
then fly up and press the button on front of the casino. This will open the 
door to the second stage, Casinopolis.

Upon completion, another crystal will appear down a nearby ally. Grab it, and 
head back to the Mystic Ruins. A cinema scene will show a cave being blown 
open. Go inside, put the crystal on the pedestal, and then go through the 
door and up the path to the third stage, Ice Cap.

When you return to the Mystic Ruins, go to the left side of the lake. 
Knuckles will be there, and you'll have to fight him.
-------------------
Mini-Boss: Knuckles
-------------------
Hits to Defeat: 3

Like the Egg Hornet, very simple. Wait until he stops attacking, and then hit 
him from the back or the side. When you beat him, Eggman will show up, steal 
your two Chaos Emeralds, feed them to Chaos, and then set the monster on you.

-------------
Boss: Chaos 4
-------------
Hits to Defeat: 5

Tougher then the others, but still easy. Jump around and avoid his attacks, 
and then hit him when he surfaces. You can stand on the water, but don't stay 
in the same place too long or you'll sink and lose rings.

Go back to Tails' Workshop, and you'll get to play Sky Chase Act 1.

After Tails lands, go into the mine car by the lake. Jump off the ledge and 
keep a left path. Soon, Tails will see a chaos emerald lying on the ground. 
However, a frog will take it and hop into a cave. Follow it, then fly up onto 
the ledge and jump on the button. Go back down and continue down the cave to 
the Sand Hill mini-game.

When you get the frog, you'll be transported to a temple with a bunch of 
echidnas. Go up the stairs to the left and get the Rhythm Badge upgrade. Then 
go to the front of the temple and talk to Tikal. You'll soon be transported 
back to the Mystic Ruins.

Go back to Tails' Workshop, and soon you'll play Sky Chase Act 2.

When you land on the Egg Carrier, go up and Eggman will transform the ship's 
shape. Go up the ramp and in the door for stage four, Sky Deck.

When you get inside the Egg Carrier, jump on the lift pad and ride it up. 
You'll have to fight E-102 Y.

-----------------
Mini-Boss: E-102Y
-----------------
Hits to Defeat: 3

Run at him and jump. If you attack him constantly, he won't be able to get an 
attack in edgewise.

After a long cinema, it's time for level five, Speed Highway. At the end, 
you'll have to fight Eggman again.

----------------
Boss: Egg Walker
----------------
Hits to Defeat: 5

Run under the Egg Walker and stay there. When one of feet stomps down, hit it 
with the tail attack. This will cause the Egg Walker to fall over, and you 
can hit the cockpit. As the battle progresses, you'll have to hit more than 
one foot to make the Egg Walker fall over. Once you destroy it, you have 
beaten the game with Tails!

===================================
2.3 Knuckles' Adventure Walkthrough
===================================

Go around the corner and continue until you see a blocked-off area. Destroy 
the blockade, and then enter the door for level one, Speed Highway.

Once you beat it, go to the casino area. On a wall, there will be a line of 
rings. Follow the line up, then jump and glide into the button on the casino. 
Enter the door, and you'll be at stage two, Casinopolis.

When you beat it, you'll be transported to a temple. Go to the other side to 
see a cinema scene with Tikal and an elder. You'll then be transported back 
to Station Square. Go into the hotel, and you'll see Eggman going up an 
elevator. Follow him, and you'll have to fight Chaos 2.

-------------
Boss: Chaos 2
-------------
Hits to Defeat: 4

Not particularly tough. Wait for him to try to punch you, and then hit him 
from behind.

Knuckles now heads back to the Mystic Ruins. Go to the left of Tails' 
Workshop, and enter the cave you will find there. Get the Shovel Claws 
upgrade, and then go into the room right next to you. Dig under the floating 
Eggman hologram to get a switch, then carry it to the caged monkey, and place 
it under him to make them explode. Grab another switch, and then go to the 
cave near the train station. Go all the way through, and then look on the 
right for another caged monkey. Place the switch under him to make him 
explode, and then go through the gate to get to stage three, Red Mountain.

When you complete it, go back to the left side of the lake. You will have to 
fight Sonic.

----------------
Mini-Boss: Sonic
----------------
Hits to Defeat: 3

Wait until he stops attacking, and then hit him from the back or the side. 
When you beat him, Eggman'll show up, steal your two Chaos Emeralds, feed 
them to chaos, and then set the monster on you.

-------------
Boss: Chaos 4
-------------
Hits to Defeat: 5

Jump around and avoid his attacks, and then hit him when he surfaces. You can 
stand on the water, but don't stay in the same place too long or you'll sink 
and lose rings.

Now, hop on the mine car next to the lake. Make your way to Big's House. 
Climb a tree and glide to the ledge to get the Gold Claws. Go back to the 
entrance ledge, and there will be a gold statue. Pick it up, carry it to the 
temple, and place it on the pedestal you will find at the back of the temple. 
The silver statue is around the entrance, in a cave. Dig where there is a 
floating symbol. Once both statues are in place, level four, Lost World, will 
open.

When you beat it, you'll be transported again. Go up the steps to see Tikal. 
You'll then be taken to the Master Emerald's shrine. Knuckles will repair it, 
but there are still pieces missing...

Go back to the rain forest. Go to the temple, then north and to the right, 
and into the box thing that takes you to the Egg Carrier. Go forward to see 
it transform, then go back, into the door, and jump in the drained pool. The 
door here leads to stage five, Sky Deck.

When you beat it, you'll be transported for the final time. Run forward for 
another cinema. When you end up back at the pool, go out the door. Knuckles 
will see a flash of light - head that way. You'll then have to fight Chaos 6.

-------------
Boss: Chaos 6
-------------
Hits to Defeat: 4

This is basically the same as when you did it with Sonic. Hit the spiked 
things, then pick them up and throw them at Chaos to make him freeze, then 
jump at him to damage him.

You just beat the game with Knuckles!

===============================
2.4 Amy's Adventure Walkthrough
===============================

Right off the bat, go to the Casino area and watch the cinema with Sonic. 
Then go to the Twinkle Park entrance. After a cinema, you'll get to play 
level one, Twinkle Park.

Go down the door at the bottom of the screen, and after a long cinema, you'll 
be at the Egg Carrier. Exit the room, and you'll play the Whack-a-Sonic game. 
If you beat it, you'll get the Warrior Feather upgrade. Then go through the 
other door. Hit the button in front of the middle door to open it, and then 
enter stage two, Hot Shelter.

You'll get transported to a temple. Enter the door be hind you, then run up 
the path and watch the cinema scene. You'll get transported back to the Egg 
Carrier. Go out the door, and after a long cinema, you'll be at the Mystic 
Ruins.

Get into the mine car next to the lake, and make your way to the space ship. 
Touch the buttons until all six are lit up, and then enter the door for level 
three, Final Egg.

When you complete it, go back to the Mystic Ruins train station, and then go 
down the ladder to the raft. Jump on to go to the downed Egg Carrier. It's 
time for a battle with Zero!

----------
Boss: Zero
----------
Hits to Defeat: 3

Hit him with the hammer to knock him into the electric fence. When his top 
pops open, hit him. Do this three times, and you've completed the game with 
Amy!
 
===============================
2.5 Big's Adventure Walkthrough
===============================

Go around the corner, and you'll see Froggy jump under a car. Stand next to 
the car, press B to pick it up, and jump into the sewer. Head up, and soon 
you'll get to stage one, Twinkle Park.

When you complete the stage, a crystal will appear nearby. Grab it and head 
for the Mystic Ruins. Go to the cave with the rocks lying around it, and 
enter. Put the crystal on the pedestal, enter the door, and get the Lifebelt 
upgrade. Continue on to level two, Ice Cap.

Exit the cave and catch a train to Station Square. Go through the hotel to 
the pool, and then go to the beach to start level three, Emerald Coast.

battle with Chaos 6.

-------------
Boss: Chaos 6
-------------

to Tails' airplane. You have now completed the game with Big!

==================================
2.6 E-102Y's Adventure Walkthrough
==================================

Go around the corner and talk to Eggman. You'll enter level one, Final Egg.

Now, go down a level and speak with Eggman. You'll have to fight E-101B.

------------
Boss: E-102B
------------
Hits to Defeat: 3

Basically, just keep targeting and shooting him. If you do this, he won't be 
able to retaliate.

When you get to Station Square, go through the hotel to the pool. Blast the 
three targets on the gate to destroy it, and then enter stage two, Emerald 
Coast.

You will soon be transported to the Emerald Shrine yet again. Walk forward 
for a cinema with Tikal. When you return to the Egg Carrier, go through the 
right-hand door in the row of three. Enter the door on the other side of the 
room for another cinema scene. When it's over, return to the main room. Go to 
the far end, up the set of stairs to the right, and into the first door you 
find. Jump down and get the Jet Booster upgrade. Return to the main room and 
jump on the lift pod. You will now have to fight Sonic.

----------------
Mini-Boss: Sonic
----------------
Hits to Defeat: 3

Run around him and target him whenever you can. This is not a hard fight.

Another cinema will lead you to the Mystic Ruins. Go down the ladder under 
the train station, and jump on the raft to go to the Egg Carrier. Go up to 
the main deck, and jump on the lift pad. Enter the door across from the room 
where you got the Jet Booster. Grab the Gun Upgrade, and then return to the 
Mystic Ruins. Go to Tail' Workshop and get the crystal, then go to cave o the 
right side of the lake, put the crystal on the pedestal, and enter level 
three, Windy Valley.

A cinema scene will show a cave being blow open near the train station. Enter 
it, and go all the way through. Once you get to a grassy area, look for a 
caged monkey on the right. Blast him, and enter the gate for level four, Red 
Mountain.

Now, go back to the Egg Carrier via the raft under the train station. Find 
the pod, and take it down to the main room. Go to the row of three doors, and

---------------
Hits to Defeat: 4

=======================================
2.7 Super Sonic's Adventure Walkthrough
=======================================

When you start in the Mystic Ruins, go to the cave near the train station 
(the one that was formed by an explosion) and go through in to the Emerald 
Shrine. Go to the back of the Shrine for a cinema. You'll be transported. Go 
to the enflamed Shrine for another cinema, then run up to Tikal for, guess 
what, a cinema. Run up the steps of the Shrine for one more cinema, and then 
you'll be transported back.

Go back to the lake, and hop in the mine car. After a cool cinema, you'll 
transform into Super Sonic and duke it out with Perfect Chaos!

-------------------
Boss: Perfect Chaos
-------------------
Hits to Defeat: 6

Gain as much speed as you can, and ram into his base. If you've got enough 
speed, you'll damage him. After three hits, he'll become more powerful. The 
one thing to remember is that you start with fifty rings, and one is drained 
every second. So, if you don't collect any rings, you've got fifty seconds. 
For every ring you collect, you get another second. Good luck, you'll need 
it!

3.1 Sonic's Action Stage Walkthrough
====================================

-----------------------------
STAGE 1: EMERALD COAST
-----------------------------

Mission C: Rescue Tails

(Start to Checkpoint 1)

Run up the beach, destroying robots as you go, until you get to a ramp. Go up 
it, destroy the monkey, and hit the spring to cross the gap. Continue until 
you get to a loop-de-loop. Take it, and then run down the beach to the first 
checkpoint.

(Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2)

Continue down the beach, grabbing the rings as you go, then hit the boost pad 
to get to checkpoint 2.

(Checkpoint 2 to Checkpoint 3)

Step on the boost pad, and run down the path until you reach a grassy area. 
Time it so you avoid the spikes as you continue, and keep going down the path 
to the loop-de-loop. Checkpoint 3 is straight ahead.

(Checkpoint 3 to Checkpoint 4)

Go down the walk until you hit a boost pad, and then let go of the control 
stick. A series of boost pads will lead you to checkpoint 4.

(Checkpoint 4 to Checkpoint 5)

Avoid the spike thing, then run up the hill and touch the spring. Continue up 
the path of springs, and then run around the mountain to the broken bridge. 
Jump over the gaps, and then continue on to a new area. Checkpoint 5 is right 
inside.

(Checkpoint 5 to Checkpoint 6)

Run down the path until you get to a pool of water. Cross it using the 
platforms, and then continue down the path, avoiding the spikes, to 
checkpoint 6.

(Checkpoint 6 to Checkpoint 7)

Continue to another loop-de-loop. Once you pass it, hit the boost pad to run 
up the wall, and then continue, destroying monkeys as you go, until you get 
to checkpoint 7.

(Checkpoint 7 to End)

Keep going until you get to a panel that says "1" on it. Step on it, then 
press A to jump to panel 2, then again to panel 3, then panels 4 and 5, then 
jump one more time to get back on solid ground. Keep going (avoid the spikes) 
until you get to a beach. Run down the beach to reach Tails.

Mission B: Collect 50 rings and destroy the capsule

This one is no sweat. There are over two hundred easily accessible rings 
here, and not very many enemies to make you lose them.

Mission A: Destroy the capsule within 2 minutes

This one can be tough. Spin Dashing a lot can help shave off those few 
seconds between victory and failure. There is also a short cut between 
checkpoint 5 and the pool of water. If you run up the wall on the left side 
of the path, you should see the hole that is a short cut.

-----------------------------
STAGE 2: WINDY VALLEY
-----------------------------

Mission C: Find the Chaos Emerald

(Start to Checkpoint 1)

Run straight forward, grabbing rings and destroying enemies as you go, until 
you reach a cliff. Stand in front of it and let the gusts of wind carry you 
up to the ledge. The first checkpoint is right ahead.

(Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2)

Jump up the cliffs, then hit the spring and float over to checkpoint 2.

(Checkpoint 2 to Checkpoint 3)

Go straight ahead, then run off the cliff and continue to hold up on the 
control stick. The wind will carry you to the next platform. Use the 
trampoline to bounce up to another floating platform, and then hop across to 
where the broken bridge is hanging. Keep running onto the next bridge, which 
will break. Run next to the cliff, and let yourself get sucked into the 
tornado.

Run around the platform, hit the spring, and get onto the next platform. Run 
to the "1" pad, then jump to pads 2, 3, 4 and 5. Jump one more time, and 
you'll be right in front of checkpoint #3.

(Checkpoint 3 to Checkpoint 4)

Bounce on the trampoline to the bridge, then run across it and hit the 
spring. Float over to the platform, and then hit the spring to exit the 
tornado.

Continue down the path, and when your way is blocked by a bunch of bricks, 
use the Spin Dash to break through them. Go all the way down the metal path, 
and hit the springs to be propelled into a broken down building. Run out and 
grab the rocket to get to the fourth checkpoint.

(Checkpoint 4 to Checkpoint 5)

Hit the boost pad and run all the way down the metal path. At the end, you'll 
run off completely-just keep holding up on the control stick to get to the 
next platform. Hit the spring, and then go on one of the paths on the right. 
Go all the way around until you get to the top of the mountain. Stand in the 
center and use the gust to hit the spring. It will propel you to checkpoint 
5.

(Checkpoint 5 to End)

Go down the metal path, and just keep running. You run down a mountain, and 
through more gusts of wind-just keep going. You'll soon reach the Chaos 
Emerald.

Mission B: Collect 50 rings and destroy the capsule

This one is just as easy as Emerald Coast's Mission B. There are a ton of 
rings, and not many enemies to take 'em.

Mission A: Destroy the capsule within 3 minutes

This one's easy, too. Just go through the stage as fast as you can and don't 
stop for anything.

-----------------------------
STAGE 3: CASINOPOLIS
-----------------------------

Mission C: Get the Chaos Emerald

This stage is different then the other stages. The point of it is to get 400 
rings and deposit them in the vault. This will allow you to reach the Chaos 
Emerald.

There are two pinball tables here; one in a room to your left (when you 
enter) and one in a room to your right. Playing these will give you more 
rings. If you lose all three balls with less then 100 rings in your 
inventory, you will get dumped in the basement. This is not bad, as there are 
tons of rings down there. In fact, those who are not, ahem, pinball wizards 
(like me) can purposely lose without 100 rings just to get dumped down there. 
Here is a walkthrough for the basement (although it's so straightforward, I 
don't think you'll need it):

Run up the first ramp, destroying the robots and getting the rings as you go, 
and then get the bomb capsule. Go up the second ramp, get all the rings, and 
then go in the doorway, avoiding the spiked ball. In the next room, get under 
a path of rings, and let the wind carry you up. At the top, you'll be sucked 
into a tunnel. Proceed, getting the ring capsules as you go, to another fan 
room. Same as before - get under a path of rings, get blown up, and then 
sucked into the tunnel. This tunnel has several spiked balls in it, so be 
careful. In the next room, grab all the rings on solid ground, then charge up 
the Light Speed Dash. Run to the edge of the water, jump, then at the apex of 
your jump, let go of the B button. You'll get carried to the other side of 
the water. Climb up the ladder, and you'll be back in the lobby.

Once you deposit 400 rings (you don't have to deposit them all at once), grab 
the Chaos Emerald.

Mission B: Collect 50 rings and destroy the capsule

First, deposit 400 rings as usual. Then either play pinball or go back 
through the sewer to get the fifty rings you need.

Mission A: Destroy the capsule within 5 minutes

The easiest way to do this is to purposely lose at pinball, go through the 
basement, deposit your rings and repeat. It is possible to get the rings in 
five minutes through pinball, but very tough.

-----------------------------
STAGE 4: ICE CAP
-----------------------------

Mission C: Find the Chaos Emerald

(Start to Checkpoint 1)

Grab the rings, then hit the dash pad and run out onto the hill. Go up, hit 
the spring and enter the next room. Touch the spring and jump straight across 
the icicles to the other side. Continue, hit the spring, then go out the 
doorway and grab the rocket. Go down the hallway to checkpoint #1.

(Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2)

Fall down to the bottom of the cave. Hit the spring, then, while avoiding the 
spikes that pop out of the ground, touch the next spring. Go across the path 
of icicles, and then go up to the next spring. Continue, and when you see 
some rings in the formation of an arrow, use the homing attack to get to the 
other side. Hit the dash pad, go across yet another path of icicles, then 
touch the spring and guide yourself to the next platform. Touch the button, 
and then quickly run across the path that appears to the second checkpoint.

(Checkpoint 2 to End)

Run up the path, step on the boost pad, and continue to a "1" pad. There are 
four pads total, so jump until you get back on firm ground. In a second, a 
gigantic icicle will fall. Go across it and down the hallway until you get to 
the snowboarding section of the level.

There really isn't a lot I can say about this. It really isn't hard at all. 
In fact, it's touch to die at this part even if you try. Just 'board down 
until you come to the Chaos Emerald.

Mission B: Collect 50 rings and destroy the capsule

There isn't a lot of advice I can give you on this. Basically, go slowly 
through the level and carefully avoid all the spikes and robots.

Mission A: Destroy the capsule within 4 minutes

Go through fast, and don't stop for anything. Four minutes is a fairly 
generous amount of time, and it isn't too hard to beat it that quickly.

-----------------------------
STAGE 5: TWINKLE PARK
-----------------------------

Mission C: Destroy the capsule

(Start to Checkpoint 1)

Get a ring or two, use a homing attack to destroy the robot driving one of 
the cars, then jump inside. The controls in this thing are simple - A is gas, 
B is break/reverse, and the control stick is to steer. The more rings you 
have, the faster you go. Now, drive down the course. For this part, you 
really don't need a walkthrough. Just drive down, avoiding other cars and 
monkeys, until you reach the end and jump down a hole. You'll land in a 
roller coaster; just let yourself get carried to the end, where you'll be 
dumped down another big hole. The first checkpoint in just inside.

(Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2)

Go up to the bowling alley. Touch the two charge-up things to start. The 
point of this is to press A when you are lined up with the pins, and knock 
over as many as possible. The number you knock over determines the number of 
pins that come out of the crown in the next room. Now, keep going, and past 
the pool, you'll find the second checkpoint.

(Checkpoint 2 to Checkpoint 3)

Go through the second bowling alley, then destroy the monkeys and ascend the 
stairs. In the merry-go-round room, avoid the spikes, and go to the other 
side of the room. Checkpoint 3 is there.

(Checkpoint 3 to Checkpoint 4)

Continue, down the left side of the pool, and touch the springs to get on the 
roof. Go over to where the monkey is, then jump over the barrels and touch 
one of the boost pads. You'll be propelled into a pool. Jump off the roof 
into the courtyard, and go over to where the monkeys and spiked balls are. 
Avoid the spiked balls and continue. You'll come to a place with two monkeys; 
destroy them and move on. When you get to a place with a bunch of barrels, 
hop over them, jump over to the other platform, and run up the ramp to 
checkpoint 4.

(Checkpoint 4 to End)

Hit the spring, and then jump up the floating platforms and onto the roof. 
Run around the outside of it, hit the spring, then go inside the building and 
break the capsule.

Mission B: Collect 50 rings and destroy the capsule

Go SLOWLY. If you go too fast, you'll probably run into an enemy and lose all 
your rings.

Mission A: Destroy the capsule within 3 minutes

The trick is to not stop for anything. Go as fast as you can, and Spin Dash 
whenever possible. It may take a few tries to beat it under the strict time 
limit.

-----------------------------
STAGE 6: SPEED HIGHWAY
-----------------------------

Mission C: Destroy the Capsule

(Start to Checkpoint 1)

Grab the rings, then touch the dash pad and run until you land on a bunch of 
class panels. Jump off them before they break, then hit the spring and jump 
on the platform. It will take you to checkpoint 1.

(Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2)

Hit the boost pad and go until you are running sideways. Go a little further 
up, and go down the road you will see. If you fall off before reaching the 
road, don't worry - just take that path. Either way, continue until you get 
to an airplane. Avoiding the propellers, grab on to the bottom. You'll be 
dropped off (pun indeed) in front of checkpoint 2.

(Checkpoint 2 to End)

Go forward, follow the path left, and then grab the rocket. Run down the 
road, and then let yourself fall into the gigantic container-like thing. 
Continue down the path, and grab the rocket at the end. Go forward, and 
you'll emerge on a glass floor; it will break, and you'll start running down 
the building. Run all the way down to the bottom. Now, go down the hallway to 
get to a new area. Run down the road, and when you can go right or left, 
choose left. Go until you get to a water fountain. Go into the little crevice 
on the left, then hit the spring, jump up to the bell, and turn right to 
reach the capsule.

Mission B: Collect 50 rings and destroy the capsule

You know what I'm going to say, right? Go slowly. Take your time. Carefully 
avoid enemies. This is the trick to all the "Collect 50 rings" missions.

Mission A: Destroy the capsule within three minutes

Man, this one is a pain. As I've said before, don't stop. Just keep on 
moving. If you do, you have a slim chance of getting to the end within the 
time limit.

---------------------
STAGE 7: RED MOUNTAIN
---------------------

Mission C: Chase the Egg Carrier and destroy the capsule

(Start to Checkpoint 1)

Run forward and grab the rocket, and when you let go, while you are still in 
the air, immediately go right and get on the platform with the spring. Bounce 
up, and then run down the road to checkpoint 1.

(Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2)

Run around behind the spiked ball, touch the button, then go back and grab 
the rocket. On the upper platform, look to your right, then hit the springs. 
On the top platform is checkpoint 2.

(Checkpoint 2 to Checkpoint 3)

Go across the bridge, and then run forward while avoiding the spiked balls 
until you reach a spring. Touch it, and on the platform you are bounced to, 
grab the zip line. You'll get off right in front of checkpoint 3.

(Checkpoint 3 to Checkpoint 4)

Jump from platform to platform until you reach the spring. Use it, and then 
run across the bridge. Continue until you get to a place where a rocket 
should be. Press the button next to it, then grab the rocket, and hit the 
spring on the next platform. Climb across the monkey bars (ignore the fire-
breathing skull, the dire doesn't reach you), and once on the other side, use 
multiple homing attacks to reach the platform with a spring. Climb all the 
way up the weaving wire platforms. At the top, you'll find the fourth 
checkpoint.

(Checkpoint 4 to Checkpoint 5)

Run across the two bridges, then continue and hit the springs. Keep going 
until you reach a button; press it to make the rocket come out. Take the 
rocket up to checkpoint #5.

(Checkpoint 5 to Checkpoint 6)

On the left are some monkey bars you can use to cross the pit of lava. On the 
other side, grab on to the zip line, then jump in the hole to get to 
checkpoint 6.

(Checkpoint 6 to Checkpoint 7)

Run down the hallway until you reach a lava lake. Take the platform to your 
right, and when you reach a couple floating robots, use a few successive 
homing attacks to get to the other side. Go straight and soon you'll reach 
checkpoint 7.

(Checkpoint 7 to Checkpoint 8)

Hit the spring, and then jump across the big slabs of stone, destroying 
robots as necessary, until you get back on firm ground. Continue until you 
reach a few dash pads. Take them, and then run ahead to checkpoint 8.

(Checkpoint 8 to End)

Continue, carefully avoiding the fire and giant hammers, until you get to a 
rocket. Grab it, and then rocket out to the capsule.

Mission B: Collect 50 rings and destroy the capsule

Same as before: go slowly, carefully, avoiding all the hazards. There really 
isn't all that much help I can give you.

Mission A: Destroy the capsule within 3 minutes

SPEED. It's all about speed. Ignore all the enemies and run flat-out to the 
finish.

-----------------------------
STAGE 8: SKY DECK
-----------------------------

Mission A: Destroy the capsule

(Start to Checkpoint 1)

Sidestep around the cylinder. Checkpoint 1 is right on the other side.

(Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2)

Run across the bridge and climb up the ladder. Hit the spring, and then jump 
from cylinder to cylinder to the next platform. Touch the boost pad, and then 
run forward to the second checkpoint.

(Checkpoint 2 to Checkpoint 3)

Hit the boost pad, and then sidestep around the cylinder to the other side. 
Touch the boost pad and run until you get to a spring. Hit it, and then run 
down the path, avoiding the spikes, to checkpoint 3.

(Checkpoint 3 to Checkpoint 4)

Time your ascent of the ladder so that you avoid the spikes, then climb 
across the monkey bars. When they break, jump to the highest platform you 
can. If you're below the top one, use the ladder on the cylinder to climb up 
a level. Continue until you get to a rocket, and then touch it to destroy the 
cannon and get to checkpoint #4.

(Checkpoint 4 to Checkpoint 5)

The next part is a little tough. You see, you are on top of the ship, and 
every so often, winds will kick up and blow you off course. When they do, 
either grab on to something or use a bunch of homing attacks to battle 
against the winds. Now, follow the arrows on the ground until you get to a 
ramp. Go up it, hit the spring on the top, and then jump to the platform. 
Checkpoint 5 in nearby.

(Checkpoint 5 to Checkpoint 6)

Run forward as fast as you can. The floor is falling away beneath you, so as 
you run try to stay on the highest platform there is. At the end, go forward 
to the rocket. What you have to do now is time it right and shoot the rocket 
into the cannon's hole. When you do, you'll go to a new area where checkpoint 
6 is.

(Checkpoint 6 to Checkpoint 7)

Go forward, and to the right side, where there is an elevator. At the top, 
follow the arrows and hit the dash pad. Climb up the ladder, and follow the 
arrows to the circular platform at the end. When a hook comes by, jump up and 
grab it, then jump off at the other side. Checkpoint 7 is right in front of 
you.

(Checkpoint 7 to Checkpoint 8)

Climb up the ramp to your right, then jump on to the moving platform. Jump 
across all of them, and then on to the conveyor belt. Jump down, then use the 
monkey bars and springs to get to the center of the top (ignore the falling 
garbage, it doesn't do anything). Jump down to checkpoint 8.

(Checkpoint 8 to End)

Touch the spring, then run all the way down the path and push the button. 
You'll be dumped into a tunnel. Go forward to reach the capsule.

Mission B: Collect 50 rings and destroy the capsule

You know it by now. Take your time and carefully avoid enemies.

Mission A: Destroy the capsule within 5 minutes

As always, go fast, and don't stop no matter what. There isn't a whole lot of 
advice I can give you.

-----------------------------
STAGE 9: LOST WORLD
-----------------------------

Mission C: Get to the Center of the Ruins

(Start to Checkpoint 1)

Grab a ring and head forward; at the pool, turn right and keep going. Go up 
the steps and through the hallway. At the end, you'll emerge in a circular 
passage. Avoid the blocks that pop out of the walls and continue. After going 
through another hallway, you'll fly up and land on a platform surrounded by 
spikes. Jump on the higher platform to get to checkpoint 1.

(Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2)

Run forward and into the snake's mouth. At the split, go to the left and 
touch the switch to raise the water. When the giant stone snake swims by, 
jump on it, and jump on to the next accessible platform it swims by. Jump on 
the switch surrounded by snake statues, then jump up the platforms and step 
on the switch that raises the water. Jump on the snake, and then jump off 
again on to the next platform. Step on the switch then go to the right and 
jump up to the highest platform. Jump across the gap and step on the switch 
to raise the water again. Jump on the snake, and then jump on to the platform 
with the switch surrounded by snake statues. This switch opens the door that 
you use to exit the room. Jump back on the snake, and then jump off again on 
to the platform with statues on the edges. Go through the door and down the 
hallway to checkpoint 2.

(Checkpoint 2 to Checkpoint 3)

Keep going along the path until you get to a darkened room. Touch the thing 
that looks somewhat like a large locket and move it to the right, so that 
it's facing the mirror. The room will light up when you do it right. Go 
forward, and move the next locket thing to the right so that it's facing the 
mirror. Continue down the path to yet another locket. Move it so that it, 
too, is facing the mirror, then keep going, moving lockets to face mirrors as 
necessary, until you get to a path of rings. Use a Light Speed Dash to pass 
this, and then go forward to checkpoint #3.

(Checkpoint 3 to Checkpoint 4)

Go down the river, and you'll land on a tiny island with a spring on it. 
Touch the spring, and then run down the passageway, avoiding the blocks that 
pop out of the wall, to checkpoint 4.

(Checkpoint 4 to Checkpoint 5)

Go forward, and a boulder will start to chase you. Keep running to the end, 
where you will hit a spring. Go down the hallway to checkpoint 5.

(Checkpoint 5 to Checkpoint 6)

Keep on going until you get to a gigantic room. Go to the right and jump on 
the switch until the panels line up and arrows appear on them. Run up them, 
and at the split, go to the left. Fall onto the platform at the end and use 
the switch to make another path of panels line up, then run along them to 
another platform. Jump up to the top, press the switch, and then jump onto 
the path of lined-up panels in front of you. Go until you get to a rotating 
brick. Use a homing attack to avoid having to use the brick to get to the 
next platform, and then go to the left to the sixth checkpoint.

(Checkpoint 6 to Checkpoint 7)

Head forward, go down the passage and hit the switch Run down the path of 
panels and jump off the end into a tunnel. Go down it, and at the end, hit 
the switch to make a path of rings appear. Use a Light Speed Dash to get to 
the other side, and run down the passage to reach the end.

Mission B: Collect 50 rings and Destroy the Capsule

OK, you know it: slow and steady wins the race. Just carefully destroy 
enemies (or, better yet, avoid them entirely) and you'll be fine.

Mission A: Destroy the Capsule Within 4 Minutes 30 Seconds

Well, the hardest part of this is the part where you have to walk on the 
panels. There is a happy medium between going fast and not falling off. Once 
you find it, this mission isn't too hard.


-----------------------------
STAGE 10: FINAL EGG
-----------------------------

Mission C: Get to the Center of Eggman's Base

(Start to Checkpoint 1)

Go forward, avoiding the obstacles, then hit the dash pad and run up the path 
to checkpoint 1.

(Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2)

Use a homing attack to destroy the laser-shooting things, and then run down 
the path until you get to a room. Go to the right side and hit the spring on 
the wall; you will land in front of checkpoint 2.

(Checkpoint 2 to Checkpoint 3)

In the next part, you have to jump from conveyor belt to conveyor belt until 
you get to a big spinning cylinder. Continue on down the path, through more 
cylinders, until you get to a new area. Jump over to the other side by using 
the platforms and robots, then run down the passageway to checkpoint 3.

(Checkpoint 3 to Checkpoint 4)

Hit the spring, and then jump from platform to platform until you get to 
another hallway. Run down it, and then step on the switch in the middle of 
the room. Stay on the platform as it goes up, and then use the floating 
platforms to reach the elevator. Take it, and then run down the path to 
checkpoint 4.

(Checkpoint 4 to Checkpoint 5)

Go down the gigantic steps and on to the platform, and then look carefully 
over the edge until you see another platform. Jump to it, then look over the 
edge and find another platform. Jump to it, and then keep jumping down until 
you get to the final platform. At this point, jump on to the mesh circulator 
platform. In the center is an elevator, enter it. At the bottom, go straight 
forward and down the hallway to a room full of crabs. Go to the upper-right 
hand corner, and then climb up the ladder. Jump over the spikes and run to 
the right to get to checkpoint 5.

(Checkpoint 5 to Checkpoint 6)

Use the fans to get through the next room. Then, turn to the left to get to 
another fan room. Go through it, and then go forward to the last fan room. In 
the next room are another bunch of crabs. Go across to the opposite side of 
the room, hit the dash pad and run along the path to checkpoint 6.

(Checkpoint 6 to Checkpoint 7)

Go forward, and you'll get to a room where you fall way. At the bottom, use 
the fans to get to the next hallway. At the end of it, you'll emerge in yet 
another room full of crabs. Head to Sonic's right and enter the sliding door. 
Run straight ahead to checkpoint 7.

(Checkpoint 7 to Checkpoint 8)

Go to the right and run down the path. You'll soon reach checkpoint 8.

(Checkpoint 8 to End)

Run up the steps, and in the next room, go to the right and use a Light Speed 
Dash to use the rings to cross the gap. This is where the end is.

Mission B: Collect 50 rings and Destroy the Capsule

I'll say it again: go slowly. Speed isn't an issue here; rings are.

Mission A: Destroy the Capsule Within 4 Minutes 30 Seconds

Dang, this one can be a pain. Don't stop, no matter what. It'll probably take 
a few tries to beat this one.

STAGE 1: WINDY VALLEY
-----------------------------

Mission C: Reach the Chaos Emerald Before Sonic

(Start to Checkpoint 1)

Go down the path to the metal path. Go all the way down the path, and hit the 
springs to be propelled into a broken down building. Run out and grab the 
rocket to get to the first checkpoint.

(Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2)

Hit the boost pad and run all the way down the metal path. At the end, you'll 
run off completely-just keep holding up on the control stick to get to the 
next platform. Hit the spring, and then go on one of the paths on the right. 
Go all the way around until you get to the top of the mountain. Stand in the 
center and use the gust to hit the spring. It will propel you to checkpoint 
2.

(Checkpoint 2 to End)

Go down the metal path, and just keep running. You run down a mountain, and 
through more gusts of wind-just keep going. You'll soon reach the Chaos 
Emerald.

Mission B: Collect 50 Rings and Destroy the Capsule Before Sonic

There are oodles of rings and not many enemies. You shouldn't have any 
trouble beating this.

Mission A: Beat and Even Faster Sonic

Well, whenever you see a large green ring, fly through it. This will speed 
you up. Besides that, there isn't much help I can give.

-----------------------------
STAGE 2: CASINOPOLIS
-----------------------------

Mission C: Reach the Chaos Emerald Before Sonic

Run up the ramps, and go in the doorway, avoiding the spiked ball. In the 
next room, get under a path of rings, and let the wind carry you up. At the 
top, you'll be sucked into a tunnel. Proceed to another fan room. Same as 
before - get under a path of rings, get blown up, and then sucked into the 
tunnel. This tunnel has several spiked balls in it, so be careful. In the 
next room, run to the edge of the water, and then fly over the pool. The end 
is on the other side.

Mission B: Collect 50 rings and Beat Sonic

This is one of the easiest missions in the game. There are _TONS_ of rings 
here. Just be careful not to hit the spikes at the end and you'll be fine.

Mission A: Beat an Even Faster Sonic

Well, just go really fast and don't stop. It isn't that hard.

-----------------------------
STAGE 3: ICECAP
-----------------------------

Mission C: Reach the Chaos Emerald Before Sonic

There isn't a lot of help I can be on this level. All you have to do is 
snowboard down and get to the Emerald before Sonic. Try using the ramps, this 
will speed you up.

Mission B: Collect 50 Rings and Beat Sonic

Do what it says-collect 50 rings and reach the end before Sonic. It's not too 
hard.

Mission A: Beat and Even Faster Sonic

Jump off all the ramps you can. This will speed you up. Besides that, just go 
really fast and try not to run in to anything.

-----------------------------
STAGE 4: SKY DECK
-----------------------------

Mission C: Destroy the Capsule Before Sonic

(Start to Checkpoint 1)

Sidestep around the cylinder. Checkpoint 1 is right on the other side.

(Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2)

Run across the bridge and climb up the ladder. Hit the spring, and then jump 
from cylinder to cylinder to the next platform. Touch the boost pad, and then 
run forward to the second checkpoint.

(Checkpoint 2 to Checkpoint 3)

Hit the boost pad, and then sidestep around the cylinder to the other side. 
Touch the boost pad and run until you get to a spring. Hit it, and then run 
down the path, to checkpoint 3.

(Checkpoint 3 to End)

Ascend the ladder, and then climb across the monkey bars. Continue until you 
get to the end.

Mission B: Collect 50 rings and Beat Sonic

It isn't hard, and you can take a fairly long amount of time since Sonic 
tends to get stuck near the beginning. Just be careful not to get hit by the 
enemies at the end.

Mission A: Beat an Even Faster Sonic

Just go as fast as you can, and use your flying ability to cut corners 
whenever you get the chance.

-----------------------------
STAGE 5: SPEED HIGHWAY
-----------------------------

Mission C: Beat Dr. Robotnik to the Missile

(Start to Checkpoint 1)

Grab the rings, then touch the dash pad and run until you land on a bunch of 
class panels. Jump off them before they break, then hit the spring and jump 
on the platform. It will take you to another path. Hit the boost pad and go 
until you are running sideways. Go a little further up, and go down the road 
you will see. If you fall off before reaching the road, don't worry - just 
take that path. Either way, continue until you get to a big circular heliport 
pad. Turn to the left and fly through the ring to get to checkpoint 1.

(Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2)

Jump on the building, then fly through the ring and let yourself fall down to 
the bottom of the cylinder. Run down the path, and when you get to a circular 
platform, turn left and fly through the ring. Proceed to another platform, 
then grab the rocket and run down the path to another platform. Go to the end 
and turn left, then jump onto the platform with the rocket and grab it. It 
will take you to checkpoint 2.

(Checkpoint 2 to End)

Run forward and fly through a path of green rings. Go into the alcove at the 
end to finish the level.

Mission B: Collect 50 Rings and Beat Dr. Robotnik

There are quite a few rings in this level. Just make sure not to fall off or 
get hit by enemies.

Mission A: Beat an Even Faster Dr. Robotnik

Whenever you see a green ring, fly through it. That's really all the help I 
can give.

Mission C: Find all 3 pieces of the Master Emerald

You really shouldn't have any trouble locating the Emerald Pieces here, 
because they are almost always in easy to find places. If all else fails, use 
the hint balls, which will shoot away in the direction of one of the Emerald 
Pieces.

Mission B: Find the three Emerald Pieces without using hints

You probably got all the pieces without using hints the first time, so all 
you have to do is do it again. If you really can't find them, try exiting the 
level and reentering. This will shuffle the positions of the Emerald Pieces.

Mission A: Find the three Emerald Pieces within 1 minute

Yup, one minute. That's all you got. There is, however, a trick involved. 
Find the first piece, taking as long as you want. When you find it, don't get 
it! Pause the game and restart. Since you now know where the piece is, you 
can run straight to it. Repeat for the second and third Emerald Pieces.

-----------------------------
STAGE 2: CASINOPOLIS
-----------------------------

Mission C: Find all three Pieces of the Master Emerald

This level if fairly small, so finding the pieces shouldn't be much trouble; 
there is, however, one tricky place that an emerald may be located at. Head 
to the second floor and face the lion. Go to your right and there will be a 
barrel with a path of rings above it. Jump on it, and go to the left so you 
fall on the ledge. Touch the button and fall in the hole that opens up. There 
may be an Emerald Piece in here.

Mission B: Find the three Emerald Pieces without using hints

If you really can't find them, try exiting and reentering; however, you 
should be able to find them without any trouble.

Mission A: Find the three Emerald Pieces within 1 minute

Yup, one minute. That's all you got. There is, however, a trick involved. 
Find the first piece, taking as long as you want. When you find it, don't get 
it! Pause the game and restart. Since you now know where the piece is, you 
can run straight to it. Repeat for the second and third Emerald Pieces.

-----------------------------
STAGE 3: RED MOUNTAIN
-----------------------------

Mission C: Find all three pieces of the Master Emerald

The area is large, which can make Emerald hunting a pain. There are no secret 
places the pieces are hidden in; just glide around until you locate them all.

Mission B: Find the three Emerald Pieces without using hints

If there's one thing harder then finding the three Emerald Pieces on this 
level, it's finding them without using hints. Just keep gliding around until 
you find them - and don't get discouraged.

Mission A: Find the three Emerald Pieces within 1 minute

Yup, one minute. That's all you got. There is, however, a trick involved. 
Find the first piece, taking as long as you want. When you find it, don't get 
it! Pause the game and restart. Since you now know where the piece is, you 
can run straight to it. Repeat for the second and third Emerald Pieces.

-----------------------------
STAGE 4: LOST WORLD
-----------------------------

Mission C: Find all three pieces of the Master Emerald

Sure, you can use the lit-up panels on the walls to climb up, but why bother? 
Just glide into the wall and climb up! There isn't a lot to say about this 
stage. It isn't particularly large, so you shouldn't have much trouble 
locating the Emerald Pieces.

Mission B: Find the three Emerald Pieces without using hints

Well, find 'em without using hints! I know, I know, my advice on these 
missions is useless, but there isn't anything I can say! Run around until 
your sensor starts blinking, and then locate the Emerald Pieces from there.

Mission A: Find the three Emerald Pieces within 1 minute

Yup, one minute. That's all you got. There is, however, a trick involved. 
Find the first piece, taking as long as you want. When you find it, don't get 
it! Pause the game and restart. Since you now know where the piece is, you 
can run straight to it. Repeat for the second and third Emerald Pieces.

-----------------------------
STAGE 5: SKY DECK
-----------------------------

Mission C: Find all three pieces of the Master Emerald

The pieces can be a little tricky to locate in this level. As you try to find 
them, some may seem to be in walls. If there are doors on the wall, well, the 
piece is in the door. To get the door to open, return to your starting point 
and move the lever in the direction of the door (If the door is on the left 
side of the ship, move the lever to the left; if it's on the right side of 
the ship, move the lever to the right). Return to the door, and it will be 
opening and closing.

Mission B: Find the three Emerald Pieces without using hints

As the hints are pretty much useless in this level, you shouldn't have a 
problem with this mission. Just don't get discouraged if you can't find them 
- exit the level and pray they're in easier to find spots.

Mission A: Find the three Emerald Pieces within 2 minutes

Well, you got two minutes this time! Do the same as before: find the first 
piece, taking as long as you want. When you find it, don't get it! Pause the 
game and restart. Since you now know where the piece is, you can run straight 
to it. Repeat for the second and third Emerald Pieces.

Here are the locations of the emblems in the adventure fields:

STATION SQUARE:
In the train station, on a ledge across from the train
High in an alley near the Casino
In the Burger Shop
Near the town hall, cut grass with Tails

MYSTIC RUINS:
On a cliff near Tails' Workshop
In midair, near the Emerald Shrine, left of the bridge (get with Knuckles)
Inside the tree trunk of Big's House
Under a fallen tree on the path south of Big's House

EGG CARRIER:
In Eggman's bedroom, step on the switch*
On diving board in pool room
On top of the radar dish
In a box in the place the mono rail leads you to**

*To get to Eggman's bedroom, first make sure the wings are in the "out" 
position. Go to the control room and go in the door behind the chair. Drop 
down on the ledge and enter the door; you'll be in Eggman's bedroom.

**Ride the lift pad down in to the ship and use the button to the left of the 
computer screen to call the monorail. Take it, and then jump on the big, 
green platform. The emblem is in one of these boxes. To break a box, jump in 
the cannon on the other side of the deck; it will shoot you into the box, 
breaking it.

================================
7.1 Open Your Heart (Main Theme)
================================

Thunder, rain, and lightning
Danger, water rising
Clamor, sirens wailing
It's such a bad sign

Shadows of dark creatures
Steel clouds floating in the air
People run for shelter
What's gonna happen to us?

All the steps we take, all the moves we make, all the pain at stake
I see the chaos for everyone who are we what can we do
You and I are same in the way that we have our own styles that we won't
                                                            change
Yours is filled with evil and mine's not there is no way I can lose

Can't hold on much longer, but I will never let go
I know it's a one way track, tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way, nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn, now I see what I've gotta do

Open you heart, it's gonna be alright

Ancient city blazing
Shadows keep attacking
Little children crying
Confusion, hopeless anger

I don't know what it can be but you drive me crazy
All your cunning tricks make me sick, you won't have it your own way

Can't hold on much longer, but I will never let go
I know it's a one way track, tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way, nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn, now I see what I've gotta do

Open your heart...and you will see!

[Guitar Solo]

If it won't stop, there will be no future for us
Its heart is tied down by all the hate, gotta set him free

I know it's a one way track, tell me now how long this'll last
Close my eyes and feel it burn, now I see what I've gotta do

Gotta open your heart, dude!

Can't hold on much longer, but I will never let go
I know it's a one way track, tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way, nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn, now I see what I've gotta do

Open your heart, it's gonna be all right!
Open your heart,
Open your heart,
Open your heart!!

Oh....yeah!

======================================
7.2 It Doesn't Matter (Theme of Sonic)
======================================

Well, I don't show off, don't criticize
I'm just livin' by my own feelings
And I won't give in, won't compromise
I just only have a steadfast heart of gold

I don't know why, I can't leave though it might be tough
But I ain't out of control, just livin' by my word
Don't ask me why, I don't need a reason
I got my way, my own way

It doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight
There is no way I will run away from all of my frights
Long as the voice inside me says go, I will always keep on running
There is no way to stop me from going to the very top

It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right

Well, I won't look back I don't need to
Time won't wait and I got so much to do

Where do I stop, it's all a blur and so unclear
Well, I don't know but I can't be wrong

This fight is not for anybody, this is purely for myself
There is no way I'm gonna give up 'til the very end
I can't tell what is wrong and what is right, I've got to find the answer
But I do there's no way I will ever give up

Place all your bets on the one you think is right

[Guitar solo]

It doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight
There is no way I will run away from all of my frights
Long as the voice inside me says go, I will always keep on running
There is no way to stop me from going to the very top

======================================
7.3 Believe in Myself (Theme of Tails)
======================================

When all alone in my chair, I just go about wishing
I wanna be strong, I really wanna be trusted
When all alone in my bed, I just go about yearning
I wanna be cool, I also wanna be like him

But that's not something I can do so easily
This is not simply my way, my style
Gotta get a hold of my life

I wanna fly high
So I can reach the highest of all the heavens
Somebody will be waiting for me so,
I have got to fly higher

Gotta keep goin'
Everything is a brand new challenge for me
I will believe in myself
This is the only start for me

When all alone in my sleep, I just go about dreaming
I see myself there, having the same adventure

If I just follow you, I will never see the light
Now is the time to find my way through this life
I'm trying so hard to be strong

I wanna fly high
So I can reach the highest of all the heavens
Somebody will be waiting for me so,
I have got to fly higher

[Guitar solo]

Many friends help me out, in return I help them
Certain things I can do and there are things that only I can do
No one's alone!

I wanna fly high
So I can reach the highest of all the heavens
Somebody will be waiting for me so,
I have got to fly higher

=========================================
7.4 Unknown From M.E. (Theme of Knuckles)
=========================================

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them,
the best of them, tougher than leather
You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle
I'd rather flex my muscles
I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell
I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail
Unlike the rest I'm independent
It's my first breath, first test
Feel the right then the worst's left

Born on an island in the heavens
The blood of my ancestors flows inside me
My duty is to save the flower from evil deterioration

I will be the one to set your heart free true
Must cleanse yourself of that evil spirit that got in you

Streaking lights, loud sounds, and instinct
Are the elements that keep me going
I am fighting my own mission
Nothing's gonna stand in my way

I will be the one to set your heart free true
Must cleanse yourself of that evil spirit that got in you

Won't be frightened I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself won't rely on others

Get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy
This is my planet, gonna fight for my destiny

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them
the best of them, tougher than leather
You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle
I'd rather flex my muscles
I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell
I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail
Unlike the rest I'm independent
It's my first breath, first test
Feel the right then the worst's left

I have no such things as weak spots
Don't approve of him but gotta trust him
This alliance has a purpose
This partnership is only temporary

I will be the one to set your heart free true
Must cleanse yourself of that evil spirit that got in you

Won't be frightened I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself won't rely on others


Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored
This is my planet, I shall not surrender

[Saxophone solo]

Won't be frightened I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself won't rely on others

Get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy
This is my planet gonna fight

Won't be frightened I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself won't rely on others

Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored
This is my planet, I shall not surrender

The new porcupine on the block with the puff chest
Outta the wilderness with the ruggedness
Knock, knock, it's Knuckles, the bloat thrower
Give you the cold shoulder
My spike goes through boulders
That's why I stay a loner
I was born by myself
I don't need a posse, I get in on by myself
Advisories get shelved

===================================
7.5 My Sweet Passion (Theme of Amy)
===================================

I got out my map and chose a place I wanted to go to
Packed up my stuff, set out for adventure
I know that your lucky color is that cool shade of blue
Won't mind painting myself blue for you
I guess I'm so easy to understand
I just do what ever that comes to me naturally

I do understand the feelings of a Persian Cat
But the Sphinx looked so cute I had to shave it
He reminds me of parsley when he's standing there all alone
Makes me wanna be his specialite
I guess I'm just a self-centered girl
But there are nights that I have trouble going to sleep

Sweet sweet you're so sweet, so many things I want
Sweet sweet you're so sweet, I wanna be a wonderful girl
Sweet sweet you're so sweet, I'm not simple-minded
Sweet sweet you're so sweet, and I won't be a pearl

You probably need me just as much as I need you

[Pf Solo]

Are you okay you seem to be a little bit tense
You don't have to worry 'bout a single thing
We are free to get whatever that we want to have
We're also free to do whatever we want
That's what we'll do that's what we'll do
We should live our lives the way we think it ought to be

Sweet sweet you're so sweet, there's no where to hide
Sweet sweet you're so sweet, come on settle our lives
Sweet sweet you're so sweet, I'll always be there for you
Sweet sweet you're so sweet, in the best and worst times

You can be my sweetest honey for eternity

Sweet sweet you're so sweet, so many things I want
Sweet sweet you're so sweet, I wanna be a wonderful girl
Sweet sweet you're so sweet, I'm not simple-minded
Sweet sweet you're so sweet, and I won't be a pearl

I honestly need you just as much as you need me

=================================================
7.6 Lazy Days (Livin' in Paradise) (Theme of Big)
=================================================

Oh, it's a windy and sunny day
And I can hear the faint sound of the distant waves
The past weeks have been going by so fast
It's all the same, the bright sky and shining sun
I have a feeling it's gonna be a fun day

Oh, it's a windy and sunny day
The many summers and many great games
Guess it's another trouble-free day
Our playground's so huge, we don't know where it ends
Feels energetic and groovy
Everything's cool, it's excellent

Every day's a new beginning, yeah, We don't know who we're gonna meet
                                                                today
The more I want, the less I can get, keep walking for a new tomorrow
But I guess that I'm happy now gonna set my heart free
Now I've got nothing to worry me, Come on!
Let's just get up go, go, go, go!

Hey big guy, hey little guy
Can you tell me who came first
Sorry, but I don't know
We are simply natural
Okay, all you have to do is sit up, look left, right, up, and down

Hey big guy, hey little guy
Can you tell me what's inside
Sorry, but I don't know
We are simply natural

We present you with a gift, welcome to our Paradise

[Pf & Guitar solo]

What'd you think about the incident, you always take me for granted
I am asking you as a first step, you answer first 'cause I asked you first

You and I are friends for all of time, tell me how you feel
But you know I can't resist that smile on your face

Hey big guy, hey little guy
Can you tell me who came first
Sorry, but I don't know
We are simply natural
Okay, all you have to do is sit up, look left, right, up, and down

We present you with a gift, welcome to our Special Paradise
Where it all comes down to just one little thing, love
