Easy Rings as Amy:
The Long Hammer is required for this trick. At the Station Square area, go into the place where Sonic got his Crystal Ring. At the top of the stairs, press the button that makes the trail of rings appear that lead to the room where Sonic got the Crystal Ring. Approach the first ring in the path very slowly. Try to get the ring as far as away as you can from it. When you get that ring, turn around in the same place so you are facing that button. Hit the button with the hammer. You will get one ring. Keep doing this from the same location to get more rings. This is slightly difficult to do.

Easy rings with Sonic:
When you are at Casinopolis, go to the slot machines and press Jump twice. This will make rings appear from the slot machines.

Go in front of the casino. Press the button that makes a line of rings. Keep pressing the button and another line of rings will appear. Light Speed Dash repeatedly until satisfied.

Unlock mission mode, then go to the pool behind the hotel. Grab the mission card. It will tell you to get 100 rings and return to the Sonic X billboard (next to the pool). Go to the entrance of Casinopolis. Press the button used to unlock the doors to Casinopolis. Charge your Light Dash and collect the rings. Repeat this until you have 100 rings and return them to the Sonic X billboard.

You can get easy rings for Sonic in adventure mode. There are two ways. For the first, go to the place where you get the Crystal Ring. For the second, go before the entrance of Casinopolis (easier). Push the switch and nine rings will appear each time. You can collect over 999 rings. Until you get a certain amount of rings, you can go in a level and the number of rings will already be displayed. Note: This will not work if you go in Casinopolis, since the rings you have collected will drop down to zero.

Easy coins with E-102 in Adventure Field:
Go to Station Square and in the hotel, go up the stairs to the second floor. Stand at the very top step. Shoot your laser at the second button on the floor. Keep shooting to get coins.

Easy coins with Tails:
Find a patch of dark green grass. Move over and stand on it, then twirl your tail around. A group of coins will appear out of nowhere.

Easy rings for Tails:
As Tails, fly up and ring the bell which appears around the halfway point of Speed Highway. About 40 rings will pour out of the bell.

Easy rings for Knuckles:
Go into to the entrance for Red Mountain, but do not go in all the way inside. Dig at the entrance and many rings will almost always appear.

Extra lives for Knuckles:
With Knuckles in Station Square, dig repeatedly on any patch of grass (the best being the triangle in front of the hotel) until you find an electric shield. With the shield, go upstairs in the hotel and stand on the button that creates rings for Sonic to get his power-up. The rings will continue to replenish after being drawn into the electric shield. The rings will keep appearing until you have 999. Note: Getting the shield may take some time.

Catching fish with Big:
In the Gamecube version, cast your rod anywhere in the water. After you get a hit, press A + X. The fishing meter will almost always stay in the blue area and you will get your fish. It is suggested that you get the best rod power-up first.

With Big, when you hook a fish repeatedly shake the lure side to side while holding B. This will tire the fish down and make it easier to catch.

Sonic and Shadow:
Successfully complete the game with all six characters. Then, select Super Sonic at the character selection screen in adventure mode. Follow into the game and Tikal's spirit will take you back to the past. Watch the intermission sequence and it will show Sonic with a black color and a reddish set of stripes, like Shadow from Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle.
