Sonic Stage 1 shortcut:
On Sonic's first stage, when you are propelled upward by a booster at the base of the level's highest ramp towards the end of the level, spin dash up to gain extra air. You should see a later part of the level. While falling, go towards there. If done correctly, you should make it, cutting ten seconds off your time.

Casinopolis: Destroy the capsule within five minutes:
Go to Casinopolis as Sonic. To destroy the capsule within five minutes to collect the emblem for level A, when you enter the Casinopolis, go to either Sonic (blue) pinball or the Nights pinball. Once you go into one of the pinballs, when you have less than 100 rings (for example, 20 or 30 rings), fall into the hole three times down to the garbage (Dilapidated Way) and get 200 rings. After you climb up the ladder into the shower room, exit the room, and go to the vault room to store 200 rings. Repeat the process again to get the 200 rings. When you have the 200 rings and store it in the vault, it will equal 400 rings. You will destroy the capsule before five minutes to collect the emblem for level A. You can do this in adventure mode or trial mode.

Casinopolis: Take a shower:
Go to the Casinopolis zone as Sonic and enter the shower area. Get into one of the stalls and push against the wall to give Sonic a shower.

Casinopolis: Ring room:
Approach the little computer in front of the blue pinball machine in the Casino Metropolis. Press the "Talk" button in front of the computer. It will say "get 100 coins or less" and you will get a surprise.

Casinopolis: Cream appearance:
After completing Casinopolis as Sonic or Tails for the first time and after Robotnik a.k.a. Eggman flies away, you will see Cream the Rabbit from Sonic Advance 2 fly around the Train Station.

Egg Carrier: Emblems:

1. In the pool room on one of the ledges.

2. Go in the rockets on the big circular platform. They will launch you into little boxes that will break. In one of them is an Emblem. You must be Sonic to do this. Note: You many need to transform the ship.

3. Go into Robotnik's office and press the switch that opens up his bed. Note: You may need to transform the ship.

4. On top of the big satellite dish. You must be Tails. Note: You may need to transform the ship.

Egg Carrier: Change shape:
Go to the Egg Carrier crash site. Go to the cockpit where you will find the switch. Press it and go outside. The shape will look different. If you want to get to the inside from the front of the ship, use the monorail or complete the Sky Deck stage. You only need to destroy the capsule. If you want to change the ship's shape again, do it in the exactly same way that you did it in adventure mode. The ship should be its normal shape again.

Egg Carrier: Easy "Whack-a-Sonic" win:
As Amy, after acquiring the Warriors Feather and Long Hammer by getting a score over 2000 at the "Whack-a-Sonic" game), you can easily rack up points by standing in the center of the platform and using your Hammer Spin attack. You will lose points for hitting Robotniks, but you should be gaining more than you are losing if there are enough Sonics. Note: You will not get any additional prizes for winning. If you spin too much you will get dizzy, making it impossible to do anything for a short period of time.

Egg Carrier: Two different Metal Sonics:
In the Egg Carrier, you can find a capsule containing Metal Sonic. That Metal Sonic is the one from Sonic CD. However, in another capsule you will find another Metal Sonic. This Metal Sonic resembles the one that is fought with Knuckles and/or Sonic in Sonic and Knuckles.

To see the Metal Sonic closer, go to the right of him. There will be a door and a cone-like object with Eggman's symbol on it . Stand next to it and make sure to have the free camera view on. Hold L and the screen will jump. Now, move closer to the door. The screen will stop jumping and zoom. Then, use C stick to look at Metal Sonic.

Emerald Coast: More rings:
On Emerald Coast (level 1) go back when you are at the beginning, and then go to the right. You should find three capsules. Hit all of them and you will get 30 rings. When you are at the green hill around the middle of the level, do not go up it. Instead, go around to find three capsules. Break them all to get 1, 5, 10, 20, or 40 rings.

Emerald Coast: Sonic Super jump:
As Sonic, go to the Emerald Coast level. Go to where you find the second extra life capsule. Do a light speed dash into the slope from behind. Sonic will jump very high and then fall to the ground.

Ice Cap: Get up mountain:
When you reach the end of the level as Sonic, do not complete it. Instead, move to where it appears you cannot go to (the mountain) and Spin Dash up. You should be able to go up.

Mystic Ruins: Knuckles' Maximum Fighting Gloves:
When you are in the area where Big's home and the Lost Ruins are located, use Knuckles to fly to the very back end of that location. You will see a small cliff. When you get off the mine cart, it will be directly ahead in the distance. Once on the cliff, you will see a glowing light. With the Gloves, you can do an attack much like Sonic's "Ancient Light", only with Knuckles.

Mystic Ruins: Extra life:
Tail's workshop is located all the way at the top of the mountains in the Mystical Ruins. Go to the very top and look around to find an extra life. Use the spin attack to zoom over and collect it.

Station Square: Opening doors:

Go left to find an egg-shaped rock Use that rock in the store in Station Square with the Gold Chao Egg in the window. Take the gold one off the platform and put the rock on that same platform and the doors will unlock and open.

Station Square: Twinkle Circuit in adventure mode:
As any character, go to the little patch of grass near the entrance to Speed Highway (the one you go in as Sonic or Tails). A pass will be there. Pick it up and take it to Twinkle Park. You can now get into Twinkle Circuit. Note: You may need to complete the game to do this. You can also play Twinkle Park as anyone in trail mode.

Station Square: Unlimited rings:
Play as Knuckles and dig until you get to the magnet barrier. Then, go to the Hotel Lobby and run up the stairs. You will see two buttons. Press the one that brings the trail of rings with the magnet. You will attract the closest ring. Note: Stay on the button or the rings will not reappear. Allow the game to idle and you should get a large number of rings. To save them, play the Speed Highway level and try to collect the three Emeralds without dying. The rings are now yours.
