To see all three sets you must use the skates, boards, and motorcycles. Billy Hatcher And The Giant Egg reference: ------------------------------------------ In Sega Carnival, when you get shot out of the cannon you will turn into a ball. With Sonic, you will turn into a white ball with blue polka dots. This ball resembles an egg from the game Billy Hatcher And The Giant Egg. Leveling up: ------------ During a race, once you collect enough rings you will level up. The stream your character's board leaves will change colors, and his or her attacks will become more proficient. Faster boosts and stronger attacks: ----------------------------------- Depending on what level your attacks are, they will last for a longer time and have a paralyzing effect. At level 1, you will have a short boost and weak attacks; and no paralyzing. At level 2, you will have a medium sized boost and stronger impact on enemies; and short Paralysis. At level 3, you will have the longest sized boost and a powerful paralyzing attack on your enemies. Red Canyon: 100 rings: ---------------------- To get 100 rings automatically, when you get to the waterfall at the end of the stage, look to your left. You will see a ring box that holds 100 rings that will go into your bank and give you a level 3 Boost and Attack. Traffic in Metal City: ---------------------- Once you get off the short ramp and reach the fork in between two tunnels, go to the left. There will be no traffic. If you are going very fast this will be the best way to get through the tunnel without hitting any cars. Voice announcer: ---------------- When you play as Shadow, first perform a few tricks. If you listen closely, you can hear the announcer say "She has made a perfect landing!" or "She landed perfectly and has taken advantage of the speed boost." Knuckles: Boosting: ------------------- When using Knuckles (especially on missions), you can boost often to give yourself an edge or complete the mission on time. Keep in mind that when you punch through objects you will gain air. When you get hit by objects you will lose air. Bonus characters: ----------------- -Successfully complete the Hero storyline to unlock Shadow The Hedgehog, Rouge The Bat, and Cream The Rabbit. -Successfully complete the Babylon storyline to unlock Eggman. -Complete Storm's, Wave's, and Jet's missions to unlock AiAi, Ulala, and NiGHTS. -To play as Super Sonic you must get all the Gold Emblems in Mission mode. Then, a Chaos Emerald will be selectable as one of Sonic's Extreme Gears. Choose it, and Super Sonic will appear. Super Sonic goes ridiculously fast, and has all three types (Speed, Power, Flight). However, he has some disadvantages. For example, you will lose rings rather than air. This means that sharp turns and boosting/attacking will make you lose rings. Once you have lost all your rings, you will revert back to normal Sonic. To change back, simply acquire one or more rings. -Complete 100 races to unlock E-10000G. Alternately, accumulate over twenty hours of game time. -Accumulate over fifty hours of game time to unlock E-10000R. Turbulence: ----------- To use turbulence effectively, wait for it to appear and ride on it. After you see arrows on the side, move towards it to gain speed and air. Also, it is an effective way to get in position to pass and hit an opponent. Defeating Babylonian God (Genie): --------------------------------- To defeat this giant, play as Sonic. He has three lives. To catch him, get a good head start. He is very quick. Do not make a mistake or it will take awhile to catch up. When you start, you must catch up to him using the turbulence streams and the grind rails. It helps to make quick work of him. Also, use the ramps and try to make the most tricks you can, but do not take any unnecessary risks. After you start getting close to him, use your boost to go through the lamp-like object below him, and he will let out a cry. Then the stage will look like a digital place for a period of time. After it returns to normal, repeat the process. After the third strike you deliver, it will quickly turn into a race. If you are near the finish line, use the turbulence and your boosts at any costs. When you win you will see an intermission sequence showing what the legendary treasure really is. Red Canyon: Shortcut: --------------------- There is a good shortcut that can only be used by flying characters. When you get to the first river stream with the waterfall ahead, go past the speed and power signs. Then there will be a path you can take to go forward or left. Go forward and turn left to see a booster. Get on it and do not turn left or right. You will then see three big looking rings (accelerators) and you will be taken to the Ferris wheel-looking object in a short amount of time.
