Make Omochao angry
Pick him up and throw him around. If you throw him at an enemy, he
will explode. You can even shoot him with Eggman or Tails while he
is flying around your head.
Big the Cat appearance
Aquatic Mines level: You can also find Big the Cat when
the water is all the way up and you look through the
cage with the caution side.
Cannon's Core level (as Tails): When you take the first
elevator down, you will see Big below hanging on to the
wall to the right (or left).
Cannon's Core level (as Knuckles): Big can been found
inside of the wall near where you find a lot of lasers
close to the ending (next to the ground that is green on
the right side). He is waving to you.
City Escape level: Big the Cat appears after the last
corner in the G.U.N. truck vs. Sonic scene. look For him
at the right of the screen, running downhill on the
sidewalk away from the truck.
Colony's Core (as Sonic): Note: this is the last part.
When you are going down the slides, jump on the pillar
to your left (the one with the timestop switch). Look
across from you on the other pillar to see Big.
Crazy Gadget level: Reach the room with all the color
boxes. When you first get to the yellow one, jump down
to land on another yellow piece. Big will be jumping up
and down on it -- you can reach him.
Crazy Gadgets (hard difficulty): Big will be hanging on
to the blue block instead of on the yellow block.
Cosmic Wall level (as Dr. Eggman): When you are on the
second train-like rail car immediately after you reach
the top of the first hill, spin the camera angle around
to see behind Dr. Eggman. Big will be sitting on the
corner of the platform behind you.
Death Chamber level (as Knuckles): Go in the middle,
where the big engine is located. Climb around it in one
location and you can see Big the Cat inside of it.
Dry Lagoon level (as Rouge): Go to the turtle and rescue
him. Then, go to the other place with the underwater
swimming turtle. Grab hold of him and on the way to the
under prison, look on the bottom right of the screen to
see the lower half of Big sticking out of the sand. Look
carefully and make sure you are entering the tunnel, and
not the exit.
Egg Quarters level: Go to the green room with the eight
pillars. In the middle of the room is a Mystic Melody
ruin. Stand on top of it and jump up. On the wall to the
left (or right), Big is holding on under a flower.
Green Forest level (as Sonic): Big can be seen (barely)
on a platform against a tree, immediately after the part
when you home attack two enemies that are floating above
platforms. Look to the left to see the large platform
against a tree. Big is a little difficult to see.
Hidden Base level (as Tails): When you reach the
entrance to the first pyramid, look to the right. Big
will be sitting on a metal girder that is around a large
statue against the wall.
Iron Gate level (as Dr. Eggman): When you reach the
first elevator, jump off and hover (or fall towards the
wall with the exit on it.). Keep falling to see Big
hanging onto the wall.
Last episode level (as Rogue): Go to the top, and when
you press the button, fly the same way that you got
there. Climb up on the wood thing and you should see Big
the Cat. You cannot go there -- he is just turning his
back at you.
Last? story level (as Dr. Eggman): As you fall down a
ravine with lasers, Big is sitting on the far left ledge
near the three water enemies.
Metal Harbor level (as Sonic): Big can be seen when you
reach the rocket that takes you to the big rocket. Look
around to see him sitting on a platform off to the side
Meteor Herd level: Big can been seen below the light
screen window that is close to the lava. He is hanging
on the middle of the ledge. Note: It is located close to
the huge platform that has a sign that reads "0-2 0-3".
He is difficult to spot.
Prison Lane level (as Tails): Go to the room with the
"elevator". In one of the cells you will see something
sticking out on the left side. Move the camera so its
pointing to that cell to see Big the Cat.
Pumpkin Hill level (as Knuckles): Go to the one of the
train gates. You can see Big the Cat hiding behind the
gate, waving to you.
Pumpkin Hill/Mountain level (as Knuckles): Go to the
Ghost Train Turntable and drop down to the tracks. In
one of the barred tunnels, Big the Cat will be waving at you.
Pyramid Cave level (as Sonic): You can see Big the Cat
on the far left side of the screen, behind the fence on
the first rail you grind on.
Radical Highway level (as Shadow): Go to the rocket that
takes you over the "Got Ring?" blimp. Big the Cat will
be looking down. When playing under the hard difficulty
setting, you will see him hanging from the blimp instead
of looking down.
Sand Ocean level (as Eggman): Big can be seen
immediately near the end ring. Turn the camera to see
Big sleeping on a platform off to the side.
Security Hall level (as Rouge): Immediately when you
start the level, go to your right or left and reach the
ledge directly next to the hole with the A/C tubes in
it. Move the camera so you can see under Rouge, and you
should see Big hanging onto a wall. Note: You can use
Drill Drive to attack him and pass through him like a ghost.
Sky Rail level (as Shadow): Immediately at the start of
the level, when Shadow is grinding down a pole, look at
the girder behind him. You will see Big sitting on a
girder in the background. Note: You will only see his
head unless you jump.
Weapons Bed level (as Eggman): Big is sitting on top of
the first garage with TNT packs on it.
White Jungle level (as Shadow): You can see Big at a
platform on the right of the screen when swinging on the
last vine with the waterfall. After seeing him, look up
to the top right-hand side to see Big sleeping on a
giant heavy looking leaf on a tree just before you reach
the goal ring.
White Jungle level: Big can be seen again at the end of
the level. Before you hit the ring, turn the camera to
the right to see Big sitting on a tree to the left.
Wild Canyon level (as Knuckles): Go forward and up the
wind. Go over to the wall in between the two paths you
can go, and climb up. Big the Cat will be hanging on for life.
You can also see him in the battle against Sonic while
playing as Shadow.
In the Tails level where you are running from the police
and you first get your hover ability, Big the Cat can be
seen again. There is a part in the level where you need
to knock a column over in order to use it as a step to
reach a higher level, from which you hover over to a
platform with a police barricade and two robots. If you
miss the platform and fall in the hole, you will see Big
the Cat sitting on the girders underneath the platform.
In the intermission when Sonic beats up the Egg Golem
(Dark storyline) look against the wall to see Big behind
one of the doors, jumping up and down,
After you complete Final Hazard, and Shadow and Sonic
get ready to use the Chaos Control, Big will sometimes
be seen floating around in the background.
Play as Rouge and do the battle against Knuckles. At the
end when you and Knuckles are saying "Whew", Big will
walk across the beam behind you.
Extra dragons and lives
Use the following trick to get a lot of dragons in about ten
minutes. At the start of the Wild Canyon level, climb the tall
pillar to your right. When you reach the top, get the extra life
and glide to the pillar on the other side of the room. Then, glide
onto the pillar closest to it and get the Chao box. Enter the
"wind tunnel" and when you get to the top, go to your left. Go to
one of the first cubes blocked by boxes. Punch the boxes for
another extra life, then go to the end of the path. Once there,
hit the Chao box, but avoid the animals. Once you get that, go to
the path across from the one you that are in. Go all the way down
and either kill or ignore the rhinos. Then, drop down into the
statue area. Get the Chao box and the dragon, then exit and repeat
this as many times as needed.
Defeating Sonic
In the Dark storyline, instead of trying to catch him off-guard,
keep somersaulting at him. This makes the battle easy.
Defeating Big Foot
In the Hero storyline, you can defeat Big Foot faster by jumping
on the wooden boxes. From here, you can attack him without having
to wait until he lands. After he shoots out all the boxes, defeat
him the standard way.
As Sonic, if you have the bounce attack, just bounce around Big Foot.
Defeating Eggman
In the Hero storyline, during both battles with Eggman forget
about the lock-on missile -- it is too slow. Instead, rapidly
attack him with your Vulcan cannon.
Defeating Egg Golem
Beside climbing the stairs on Golem's back, you can hit him
another way. You can only do this when he has two or less hits
remaining. When he uses his head butt of death, stay to the side
of his fists so the head misses. Then, get directly under the
head. He takes a few seconds to pick it up again -- use a bounce
attack to hit the "battery".
Defeating Shadow
In the Hero storyline, during both Shadow battles you can use the
same strategies. Shadow cannot defend against the bounce attack.
Instead of trying to catch him off-guard, keep somersaulting at
him. This makes the battle easy.
Defeating King Boom Boo
In the Hero storyline, only run fast enough so you can see his
face. When he starts breathing blue fire, you will have more than
enough time to punch the ghost holding the hour glass while he is
preoccupied making is wall.
King Boom Boo as one attack called the Chomp Attack. Be careful,
because he also speeds up when he does it. If you slow down,
quickly speed back up or he will speed up and attack.
Alternate shield color in Security Hall
Play as Rouge in the Security Hall under the hard difficulty setting.
The shield robots will be holding black shields instead of red ones.
Sky Rail shortcut
There are places in the level where you can jump as Shadow from
the rail you are on to a rail you are going past that you normally
would not get to until later in the level. This method saves time,
and it is fairly easy. Be careful -- do not jump to a rail that
will take you back, adding time. Additionally, on the last rail,
take the rail on the right versus the left. The one on the right
slopes straight down to the goal. Also, crouch at the very
beginning to go much faster.
Find the lost Chao in Sky Rail
The Mystic Melody and Light Speed Dash are required. At the second
checkpoint there will be rail. Do not go on it. Instead, turn to
the left and you should see the Mystic Block. Play the Mystic
Melody and rings will appear. Do the Light Speed Dash and there
will be a lot of bouncy things. Bounce up a few and at the top you
will see the lost Chao. Go up a few more bouncy things to reach it.
Ancient Light in Sky Rail
As Shadow, skip the rocket and use the spring. Hit the bouncy
propeller object until you get to the limit. You will see an enemy
robot that you need to kill. Following him is a string of robots
that you attack until you get to the Ancient Light for Shadow. It
does the same thing as the Ancient Light for Sonic.
Ancient Light in White Jungle
To get the Ancient Light from the original Sonic Adventure, go to
the White Jungle level as Sonic and keep playing until you reach
the part where you are in a tree with many enemy robots. Jump up
to the area with the box of rings. From there, walk to the edge of
the platform until you see an enemy robot. Home attack it and keep
going, attacking item boxes until you get to an extra life at the
end of the line. There is also a 1-Up item which is the Ancient Light.
Fourth mission Emblem in White Jungle
There are no shortcuts in this level. To get the Emblem as Shadow,
keep running and do not get hurt.
Easy points in White Jungle
When playing as Shadow there are two places where you get points
for easy things. At the very start of the level, after swinging on
your first vine, somersault under a fence for 500 free points.
Then, when you are in a grassy area much like the area where Sonic
gets his Ancient Light, instead of going the short way which leads
to invincibility, somersault under a gate behind two robots. Dodge
the sparking robot and when you reach two robots, one flying
around one just standing, hit the flying one. Stay in the air as
long as you can and bash the second one to get the usual 100
points, but you will also get 400 bonus points.
Special Dragon Animal for your Chao
Play as Knuckles in the Wild Canyon level. Get all three Chao
Boxes. The first Chao Box will be the Chao key. When you get the
second Chao Box you can get 2, 3 or 4 animals. With the third Chao
Box, you can get the Dragon.
For an easier way to get a Dragon, start the Wild Canyon level and
go to the place where you get the power-up on the wall you came
out of. Look to where it and the left wall intersects. Climb up to
find a Dragon. Go over there and play the Mystic Melody. Go
forward and get the extra life. Restart and do it again.
Phantasy Star Online items
In the Mad Space level as Rouge, you can find items from Phantasy
Star Online lying around -- the boxes rather not items themselves.
For example, you can find green and blue boxes from the game.
Metal Harbor shortcut
Near the beginning as Sonic, after doing the loop-de-loop there is
a robot you can home-attack, which will take you to a faster
route. After completing this much faster route, simply finish the
rest of the level as fast as you can without taking detours. Also
try to go straight all the way on the street board at the end-- do
not zig-zag.
Pumpkin Hill ghosts
As Knuckles, from Pumpkin Hill to the rest of the game you can find
ghosts in certain places. Note: They just pop out and knock you down.
Pumpkin Hill Extra Skeleton Dogs
As Knuckles, go to Pumpkin Hill and get the extra life that is
buried where the Shovel Claw was located. Then, go to Church
Mountain and look around one of the graves closest to the wall.
You should find a Skeleton Dog there. Restart the Level and do the
same thing over again until you have as many as needed. The last
time you do that, find a Chao Key and finish the level. It is
easier to do this if you are on the 100 Ring mission or the Find
The Chao mission.
Pumpkin Hill fall tip
When you fall for a while, glide then do the Spinning Dig move and
hold it down. You will bounce back up and be able to glide to
safety. If you do not make it, repeat until you do.
Pumpkin Hill early lives
When starting Pumpkin Hill as Knuckles, go to the left rocket that
takes you to Church Mountain. Then, take the rocket that leads to
Pumpkin Mountain, which is somewhere in the graveyard area. While
falling down from that rocket, quickly glide forward to the flying
"island" in front of you. If done correctly, you should grip to
the floating chunk of land and be able to go forward to get the
extra life. This can be useful for people who are collecting
Skel-dogs, because you can get it in the graveyard place before
you take the rocket. There is also an extra life buried where the
digging claw things used to be -- so this can double as an
unlimited lives trick. Note: Skel-dogs are useful for people who
are raising running Chao because they remove the boar's ugly
features, and provide a running improvement of up to 16, without
subtracting from other stats.
Radical Highway Fire Ring
As Shadow, after the second highway you spring to, go backwards
instead of forwards. You will see a rollie object that you need to
somersault through to a new route. The new route leads to the Fire
Ring that allows you to break steel crates. Note: You need the
Light Shoes or you will not be able to get it.
'Got Ring?' message
In Radical Highway, there is a blimp with the message "Got Ring?"
in the level.
Fast completion in Security Hall
In this stage you play as Rouge the Bat and are given 5 minutes to
complete it. This can prove to be quite difficult. If you have
enough lives you can do this trick. If you cannot seem to find the
Emeralds, you should die. You will keep the existing Emeralds that
you have collected. You will begin at the start of the level and
the Emeralds will move to different places. This is the fastest
method for completing the level if you are having trouble.
Security Hall laser tip
As Rogue, get a running start and glide as fast as you can. If you
are quick enough, when you touch a laser you will hear a spark but
will not get hurt. You can only do this on lasers that are high.
This is best done in the higher room with the switches.
Run on foot in City Escape
At the start of the City Escape level, instead of landing on the
ground with the board, scrape the roads on the board. When on foot
run full speed at a wall and get knocked down. Pause game play if
you fall after hitting the wall. Choose to restart the level to
run on foot and not on the board.
Cosmic Wall Extra life
As Dr. Robotnik. While trying to get up one of the giant holes by
jumping from platform to platform, you will see two platforms
extremely close together. Shoot all the boxes there to reveal a
1-up item which increases your life bar, so you can sustain more
attacks before dying.
Geting to the end of Crazy Gadget
As Sonic, reach the last sequence when you hit the switch before
you get the goal to launch the missile. Use the first switch then
instead of using the second switch. Use the bounce attack to go
higher to the red platform and move to your left. Hit the switch
to go down. Step off the purple platform to find the switch. Use
the bounce attack to get high enough to reach the gravity switch.
Once you do, just jump to hit the switch. The next part is tricky.
Use the homing attack to hit the spring near the goal and do not
press anything. You should end up back where you started use the
first switch to go up. Repeat the procedure, except use the switch
that is straight ahead. When you get down, fire the missile to get the goal.
Egg Quarters A rank
To get an A rank for Rouge in Egg Quarters, get the three keys in
4:30. Usually you have to get it in 1:30.
Extra lives in Final Rush
As Sonic, after the first grinding rail, land on the first
platform. Take the lower of the two rails. At the end of the rail,
jump to the platform and use the only rail, on the ground. At the
end of that rail, there is a platform with speed panels. At the
end of the platform there is a bomb robot over another platform.
Destroy it and use the rail off of the platform it was over. At
the end of that rail is a check point with a small gap afterward.
Jump the gap and go all the way down the big drop. At the bottom
is a rail on the left side. It will take you to a platform with a
ring box and a life box. Get the life and then choose "Exit" from
the "Start" menu. Re-enter the level and you should have the same
number of lives you had when you exited the level. Repeat this as
many times as needed.
Green sea monster Chao
When playing as Tails, there is a hidden green sea monster Chao in
the small maze. It makes your Chao's color turn green.
Special Dragon Animal
To get A Special Dragon for the Dark story line, get all three
Chao boxes in Iron Gate as Dr. Eggman. Be careful 00 one of the
boxes is near the goal,
Laser Blast
First, find the Cannon in the Weapons Bed level, then play the
Iron Gate level again. Go to the location where you find the most
coins and two gas pipes. Blast those gas pipes. You will now see a
way leading to a hall. The Laser Blast is inside, glowing green
light. Take it. It makes it easier to lock-on to more opponents.
Tails Laser upgrade
A weapon not mentioned in the manual is the upgrade for Tails'
Homing Laser. After completing the stage in which Tails earns the
Volcan Upgrade, go back to Prison Lane via the level selection
screen. At the end of the level, before touching the goal, look
for the cameras. Shoot them down and break the iron boxes in front
of the gate (if there are any). The Laser upgrade will be behind
two barred doors afterwards.
Tails, Mystic Melody
Get the Vulcan Cannon upgrade (which is a mandatory item that you
will eventually get). Then, go to the Egyptian level and play
through it until you see a door blocked by iron boxes. Shoot the
boxes, go through the door, and collect the Mystic Melody.
Extra health
To gain a little health for Eggman or Tails, hit an enemy. When
you see a Chaos Driver, get it. Your power bar will rise slightly higher.
Homing Laser upgrade
To get the Homing Laser upgrade for the Eggwalker, on the first
stage of the Dark story line, find a hall blocked by iron
containers. Shoot them with your Vulcan cannon (needs to be
upgraded first). You will find the homing laser upgrade at the end
of the hall.
Air Necklace
Go to the Aquatic Mines level as Knuckles. Find the switch that
changes the water level to its third setting. (o do this, make
sure it is on the first setting and climb the pole in the center
of the room. Then, jump to the pulley taking you above. Go to
level 2 of the stage and find the a caution sign. Jump in the pit
and keep following the path to the item. The Air Necklace allows
you to breathe under water for an infinite amount of time. This is
especially helpful in the very last level, where you spend
virtually the entire time underwater.
Magic Gloves
Once you get the Fire Somersault Bracelet, return to the first
level of Sonic's adventure (City Escape). Go towards the end of
the level and look for a spot on the ground composed of four steel
crates. Perform the bounce attack on top of them and you will fall
into a secret room. Once there, you can bounce and destroy more
crates to find the Magic Gloves. They will allow you to turn an
enemy into a miniature throwable version. However, you have to get
very close, making it not all that useful.
Knuckles: Mystic Melody
Go to Wild Canyon as Knuckles. Go straight into the windy gust
throwing you upward. Look to the left and you should see three
small buildings containing four boxes in each one. Ignore them. Go
straight past them to find the Lonely Statue. Climb above the
statue's head straight up and you should see a strange painting.
Dig through it to find the Mystic Melody.
Sunglasses
To get the sunglasses for Knuckles, play through story mode until
you get to the Meteor Herd level. This occurs immediately after
fighting the "Egg Golem". Look around for a big meteor on a
separate floating rock island. Get on it, then get in back of the
huge meteor, as far as you can go. Punch twice and then move
forward for the Mini-Spiral Upper. If this does not work, try
running at full speed and slam into the door in front of you. If
it opens, break the metal box located there, then hit the button.
Find a spring that takes you up to the top (or climb up), then
fall down the newly opened area. You should see a rainbow-colored
area with the Sunglasses power-up.
Rogue, Treasure Scope
Successfully complete the Dark story line or get the Iron Boots in
the Space level. Then, return to the first level and look for the
Egyptian sign that was in Egg-Quaters. You will find Mystic Melody
here. Then, go to the Security Hall and find the point of usage
for Mystic Melody (there may be two). Follow the bridge that
appears and use the Iron Boots on the crates to break them to find
the Treasure Scope.
Extra points
When playing as Sonic, use the special punch attack after hitting
and destroying an enemy to hit another and collect more points.
Sonic and Shadow, Mystic Melody
The Mystic Melody for sonic and shadow is in their final stages.
For Sonic, keep playing through the level until you see a rocket
on a platform while grinding on a rail. Jump to it, and use it to
go to a different route. Keep playing through this route until you
get to the Mystic Melody. For Shadow, there is one part of the
level where you can keep spiraling up on magnetic tubes.
Eventually you will get to the Mystic Melody. The Mystic Melody is
a tool every character can get. To use it, you must find those
strange boxes that are in each level. Play the Mystic Melody to
unlock a secret passage. The secret passage will usually lead you
to the lost Chao you need to find to complete mission 3.
Shadow vs. Sonic finale, Extra lives
Get 100 Rings by using Light Dashes.
Alternate costume
Finish all of one character's (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, etc.)
missions to get an alternate costume in two player mode.
Boss time attack mode
Successfully complete either side story to see all the scenes from
the side of the story that you chose or you can play the Bosses
that you fought in a time attack mode. To get both the Hero and
the Dark modes you have to complete both sides of the game.
Last stage
Successfully complete both Hero and Dark side story modes. Enter
story mode to access the "Last Stage?" option.
Extra Island level
To get an extra Island level, you must get all the Emblems,
including Kart, Timed Boss, and the emblems for all A rating. Once
you have them all, which should total 180, the island next to the
Green Forest level will have the face of Sonic on it. The new
level is a 3D version of the Green Hills Zone, from Sonic the Hedgehog.
Kart Racing mini-game
Catch the President with Tails, or catch Tails with Rouge. If you
do both, you will unlock versus in two-player mode. Either way
will work -- it does not matter which you do first.
Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow
Successfully complete the Last Stage? Level in story mode to
unlock Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow.
Mystic Melody in Sand Ocean
At the very beginning of the Sand Ocean level, stay on the
turnstile until it rotates the entire way around. At that point
you will see a glow, which is the Mystic Melody. You must fly over
to a new platform to get it.
Mystic Melody In Eggman's Sand Ocean level
In Eggman's Sand Ocean level, go onto one end of the turning platform
and stay there until view changes. You will see the Mystic Melody.
Finding goals, as Knuckles or Rouge
At any point if you cannot seem to find what they are supposed to
look for, intentionally die. You will lose all your rings, but in
big stages you will find that it is to the most benefit.
Note: Make sure that you have plenty of lives.
Extra lives as Knuckles or Rogue
Enter two player mode and choose Knuckles or Rouge. Keep digging
in the stage. After you dig you might get a lot of coins or lives.
Keep digging for lives -- you can use them when you try an
adventure (Dark or Hero story line).
