Boosting with Knuckles

While playing as 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.

Air riding

When "air riding" (riding through the hoops with flight characters), all you really need
to do as you go off most ramps is to move fast enough. No jumping is necessary. Press X or
B to boost just before you reach the ramp to just about guarantee you getting into the
air. When air riding, just press the Analog-stick Up to move your character downward, and
Analog-stick Down to move him or her upward (like a plane).

Automated trails

To use automated trails effectively, wait for the Analog-stick spinning part to begin.
When you spin it, it fills your air gauge. However if you keep spinning it beyond that,
the speed meter will go faster up to a certain point.

Finding shortcuts

Ramps usually lead to shortcuts. To reach these shortcuts, hold A for as long as possible
(without slowing to a complete stop), then release it at the very edge of the ramp.

Leveling up

Once you collect enough rings during a race you will level up. The stream your
character's board leaves will change colors, and his or her attacks will become more
proficient.

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.

Trick sets

Each character has three sets of tricks that can be done. To see all three sets you must
use the skates, boards, and motorcycles.

Voice announcer

While playing as Shadow, 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."

Wrong dialogue

Before the Dark Desert race, there is an intermission sequence showing Storm holding a
chip-looking object. When everyone starts to read it, Storm will say "It's about the
Babylon treasure from our ancient ancestors.", but it reads "It's about the Babylonian
treasure from our ancient ancestors."

Dark Desert: Mission 4 tips

Make sure to trick off the three drop-offs. When you get to the weird part, take the
Speed route instead of the Flight route. There are three jumps on this one instead of two.

100 rings in Egg Factory

Go past the part where you get blown into the air by a vent. You should see a machine
with spinning cocoon-like objects. Go inside of it to find a capsule with 100 rings.

Random character selection

At the character selection screen, press R.

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.

100 rings in Red Canyon

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.

Defeating Babylonian God (Genie)

To defeat this Boss, 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 perform as many tricks as
possible, but do not take any unnecessary risks. When 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. Once you deliver the third strike, 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.

Avoid losing speed in Egg Factory

Instead of losing speed when hitting the lava, boost through it to keep your velocity.

No traffic in Metal City

When you get off the short ramp and reach the fork in between two tunnels, go to the left
and there will be no traffic.

Easy completion of Metal City: Mission 1

Do a back flip off the first ramp. When you have completed the flip, spin until you land
to get 10 points. You can perform stunts again on the drop-off just before the two
tunnels. Do the same thing to get 8 points. Trick on one of the slopes on the side of the
four-lane road. Finally, on the ramp before the end, do a backflip off it. Make sure to
release A on the very edge of the ramp. If done correctly, you will bypass the hanging
part of the stage and be offered another ramp to trick off from. Use this to get 30 points
or more.

Splash Canyon

While playing as Tails in level 2 of the Hero storyline, there is a shortcut in a
waterfall. After you make the first jump, when you are turning around the bend there is a
waterfall. If you go through the beginning of it, you will find a fly kicker and
accelerators.

Babylon Garden

Go past the first ramp and first turn and you will see boosters. Ride into one and you
will see a small ramp. Make sure your jump is at maximum without slowing down, and hold
the Analog-stick Up. If done correctly, you will ride the turbulence that will shortly be
created by a jet. Another shortcut is near the end of the track. When you see the end of
the turbulence created by the jet, you will see a ramp. Go forward and make your jump
maximum without slowing down, and hold the Analog-stick Up. If done correctly, you will
cut half of the automated trail and reach the top faster.

Egg Factory

After the part with the falling lava, turn to your right and you will see signs. One of
them is crooked. Ride into it to smash through and reveal a shortcut.

Sand Desert

There is a straight shortcut that only power characters can use. When the race begins,
you will be in the desert. Go straight ahead to the big coin-looking object and travel
through it. You will be underground and be propelled in the air at the end of the tunnel.
At this point you can do tricks. When you fall, you will be in front of the next ramp. The
second shortcut is when you enter a place that looks like an ancient temple. Go straight
ahead and knock the big rocks out of your way. The last shortcut requires perfect timing.
When you go past the rocks you will see giant stone soldiers. One of them will be
discolored (darker). Airslide into it and you will break through. Any other statue except
that can not be broken.

Red Canyon

There is a nice 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. 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.

Sega Carnival

When you get to the Crazy Taxi area, a green arrow will appear at the top of the screen.
Keep to the left and you will see a sign with an arrow pointing to the right. Go behind
the sign and you will see a spinning money symbol and a green circle on the ground. Go
into the circle and a taxi will take you through a shortcut during the race.

Metal City

When you get to the first ramp, try to get your jump at maximum without slowing down, and
hold the Analog-stick Up. If done correctly, you will be on a platform in the air.
Alternately, go past the first ramp. Just as you hit the ground, ride someone's turbulence
and do a jump off it. If done correctly, you will hear a glass breaking sound and be on
the platform.

Metal City (night)

At the beginning of the race, go as fast as possible. Then, get the highest jump possible
without going any slower. Also you can do one trick but it is easy to make a mistake; do
not attempt it unless you are skilled at angles. If done correctly, you will have jumped
on a platform that leads through a small part of the stage. The Power attribute is best
here, because there are many obstacles unless you are skilled at dodging.

Green Cave

When you see the first ramp near the end of the stage, get your jump to maximum height
without slowing down. Make sure you are going at maximum speed and hold the Analog-stick
Up. If done correctly, you will hit three spider webs and cut off part of the track.
Additionally, when you get to the part where you are about to go onto the centipede thing.
To make the centipede get to the opening faster, before you go on the centipede shoot off
to the right. The centipede should go down or up. Either one is good. The centipede should
go to the left, then go to the hole faster. In White Cave, follow the steps above except
go to the right.

When starting out at the Green Cave with Knuckles, go at a normal speed. When you
approach the grind rails, slow down. When you go around the turn you should see a power
formation sign. Smash through the blockade under the sign and you will unlock a shortcut
with a lot of dash panels which will send you to the forks just before the centipede ride.
