Background Info

Summary of the Opening Movie

In the beginning, we watch as Sonic infiltrates Eggman's space armada. When Sonic uses the 7 Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic, Eggman quickly tries to escape into a strange looking spaceship. Once Super Sonic catches up to Eggman, Eggman pleads for forgiveness.

It seems that the battle is pretty much won so Super Sonic agrees to let Eggman go and begins to leave. But then Eggman pulls a switch and an energy cage forms around Super Sonic. The machines that released the cage now separate Sonic and the Chaos Emeralds, as Eggman reveals the space ship is actually a Chaos Energy Cannon. He then uses the energy coming from Sonic and the Emeralds and fires a ray at the Earth.

The results of this cause the planet to break up into pieces, floating above the Earth's core, while awakening a dark energy being known as Dark Gaia. It also causes Sonic to turn into a new form called the Werehog while the Chaos Emeralds lose their colors and turn black as Night. Happy to accomplish his plans, Eggman ejects Sonic and the Chaos Emeralds, sending them towards the Earth's atmosphere.

Dark Gaia divides himself and spreads over the entire planet...

Important Characters

These are all of the main characters in Sonic Unleashed.

• Bio: Sonic is a blue hedgehog who's well known for his superpower: speed. Sonic can run faster than the speed of sound and enjoys travel and going on adventures. He can also use his speed to curl into a ball, spin, and cut through different materials including metal. Although he is impatient sometimes, he always helps those in need and hates to see injustice. His only known weakness is water. At high speeds, he can hydroplane, but he can't swim. After meeting with Chip, Sonic sets out on his journey to restore the planet, the Chaos Emeralds, Chip's memories, and himself.

Super Sonic

• Bio: Super Sonic is a form Sonic takes when he collects all 7 Chaos Emeralds (and sometimes 50 Rings). In this form he turns a golden yellow, can move faster speeds, perform stronger versions of regular moves, becomes invulnerable to almost all attacks, and can even fly. However, this transformation always has a time limit.

Sonic the Werehog

• Bio: Sonic the Werehog is a new form that Sonic takes during the Evening, due to the fact Dark Gaia's power only becomes active at Night. Since Super Sonic was being used to power the Chaos Energy Cannon, Sonic's body absorbed a part of Dark Gaia. However, since Sonic's mind was strong, his body was affected instead, unlike others who have been possessed by Dark Gaia's Minions. While in this form, his arms are more muscular and his limbs can expand and stretch out over certain distances. Though he can't break the sound barrier at night, he can dish out punches, kicks, and other devastating blows in a matter of seconds. It is truly the complete opposite of Sonic's regular Hedgehog form.

• Bio: Chip is our navigator in Sonic Unleashed, who travels with Sonic in hopes of recovering his memories. Although Chip forgot who he is, he seems to have knowledge of Sonic's abilities, places, and points out things people would probably miss. He also has other mysterious powers besides a love of sweet foods and what seems to be an endless supply of chocolate. As Sonic and Chip restore the planet, Chip will eventually recover his memories and remember his true purpose.

• Bio: Tails is Sonic's best friend, who's IQ and mechanical abilities almost match those of Dr. Eggman's. His real name is Miles Prower but he was given the nickname Tails due to the fact that he has 2 instead of 1. He can use them to spin like a propeller and fly around for periods of time. When traveling long distances or to airborne places, Tails uses his biplane Tornado, which he has modified over past adventures. He was last seen heading towards Apotos...

• Bio: Amy is a pink Hedgehog who believes she is Sonic's girlfriend. It's wise not to make her angry otherwise she will go into her own form of Unleash Mode and attack with her Piko Piko Hammer, which she can create out of thin air. She loves Sonic so much that she has mistaken other male hedgehogs for him. She was last seen heading towards Spagonia...

• Bio: Professor Pickle is a teacher at Spagonia University, who is the leading expert on Dark Gaia. His favorite food is cucumber sandwiches. He was last seen at his Laboratory in Spagonia...

• Bio: Dr. Eggman (aka Dr. Ivo Robotnik) is a mad scientist is who bent on taking over the world. His plan is to create a place called Eggmanland which will be his base of operations as he sends attacks around the world. As always, Sonic is the only thing standing in the way of his dreams. Can Dr. Eggman be stopped now that he's unleashed Dark Gaia and broken the world?

• Bio: Orbot is a robot assistant that Dr. Eggman recently created. Although Orbot is intelligent, his mouth gets him into trouble.

• Bio: The Egg Fighter Series is Eggman's fighting force in Sonic Unleashed. While a few of the robots here are updated versions of older Badniks, most of them are new and have specific designs to annoy and try to destroy Sonic.

• Bio: Dark Gaia is a dark energy being that slept inside the core of the planet. He was awakened when Dr. Eggman used the Chaos Emeralds to separate the planet. Since it wasn't the Time of Awakening, Dark Gaia couldn't maintain his body, so when the planet split into pieces, he did too. His essence is still spread around the world. So far, the sun is the only thing that can stop Dark Gaia's powers.

Dark Gaia's Minions

• Bio: Dark Gaia's Minions are all of the pieces of Dark Gaia that scattered across the planet. Once the sun goes down, Dark Gaia's powers reactivate, causing people's negative actions and emotions to manifest into Dark Gaia Minions. They also have an ability to possess a person's body, causing their hosts to act the opposite of their normal selves. However, Sonic the Werehog's personality is the only one that remains unchanged.

Important Items and Places

These are some of the important items and specific locations in the game.

• Bio: The Chaos Emeralds are 7 powerful gemstones that come in 7 different colors: Green, Red, Blue, Cyan, Yellow, Purple, and Grey. Should a person be fortunate enough to find 1, it can bestow the user with incredible abilities. The most common two uses are allowing the user to perform Chaos Control, giving them control over time and space, or using all 7 to transform into a different form. After Dr. Eggman used them to break the planet into pieces, the Chaos Emeralds all turned black and lost their shine. Is there a way to return them back to normal?

• Bio: The Tornado is a biplane that Sonic and Tails use to travel. Tails has been modifying it over the years to increase its performance. The current model is a combination of the original and the Tornado 2, allowing it to transform 2 Modes: Flight and Battle.

• Bio: The Gaia Temples are 7 temples that are located in 7 different Countries throughout the world. Although their purpose is unknown, Dr. Eggman seems bent on finding them for some reason...

Controls

In this game, Sonic has some of his old abilities from past games and plus new ones. Not only that, but his new Werehog form comes with a different style of gameplay. This game also has an Experience system which can be used to level up his current abilities in either form.

Hedgehog's Regular Moves

During the Daytime in the Town Stages and Entrance Stages and during Day Acts, Day Boss Battles, and Day Missions, Sonic will be in his regular Hedgehog form. These are all of Sonic the Hedgehog's normal moves and abilities in Sonic Unleashed.

Hedgehog's Guages:

• Ring Energy (aka Boost Gauge): This is the gauge shown on the bottom of the screen. When the gauge is empty Sonic cannot perform regular Boosts or Air Boosts. To fill it up, collect Rings and destroy enemies.

Hedgehog's Special Shoes

Similar to the Sonic Adventure games, there are 4 permanent Power-Up items that Sonic needs in order to progress in the story, get all Collectible Items, and play certain DLC Day Acts. In this game, they come in the form of Shoes that can be found in 4 different Entrance Stages. They only affect Sonic's Hedgehog Form.

• There are 4 Achievements for Collecting the Shoes and using their moves for the first time:
  • Lay the Smackdown: Get the Stomping Shoes and use the Stomp for the first time
  • Wall Crawler: Get the Wall Jump Shoes and use the Wall Jump for the first time
  • Airdevil: Get the Air Boost Shoes and use the Air Boost for the first time
  • Hyperdrive: Get the Light Speed Dash Shoes and use the Ring Dash for the first time

Bobsled/Roller Coaster Car

In Cool Edge Day Act 1 and Eggmanland: The Final Act, Sonic will use these to travel. The controls change slightly.

Werehog's Regular Moves

During the Evenings in the Town Stages and Entrance Stages and during Night Acts, Night Boss Battles, and Night Missions, Sonic will turn into his new Werehog form. These are all of the normal moves Sonic the Werehog can do.

Werehog's Guages:

• Shield Gauge: This gauge appears above the Unleash Gauge and Life Gauge. This tells how many times Sonic can guard/shield against enemies. If there are no Shield Counters present, Sonic cannot use his Shield and will have to wait for it to recharge or grab a Shield Charge.
• Unleash Gauge: This gauge appears above the Life Gauge. To fill it, collect Dark Gaia Force by defeating enemies, destroying items, and performing Combos and Critical Attacks.
• Life Gauge: This gauge represents Sonic's Health and depletes every time he gets hurt. If it becomes empty, you will lose a Life. Collecting Rings, 10 Rings, and Heal Rings will refill this gauge.

Grabbing with the Werehog

In his new Werehog form, Sonic can grab and carry different things by pressing the B Button, but the Buttons change depending on what's being held. Press the X Button when trying to grab large enemies to cancel the grab.

• After Jumping, press B to grab an enemy, to jump up. Mostly used on Dark Bats.

• A: Jump while holding the enemy
• B: Smash the enemy into the ground. It hurts other enemies who are in the way.
• X: Throw the enemy. A cursor normally appears when other enemies are around so you can throw it at them.
• Holding Y: Swing an enemy, hitting all surrounding enemies in the way. A cursor will appear showing where the enemy will be thrown. You can't swing forever so choose a target.
  • Note: When you have one small enemy, you can grab another small enemy, and carry both in each hand. The controls are the same as holding a single enemy.

• A: Jump while holding them
• Repeatedly B: Sonic swings the enemy, in front and back, into the ground while hitting anything in the way
• X: Same as Small Enemies
• Holding Y: Same as with Small Enemies
  • Note: After a while enemies may break free of Sonic's grasp if you wait too long. Also, he'll let them go if he gets attacked.

• A: Jump while holding it
• B: Gently set it down
• X: Throw it
• Repeatedly Press Y: Do a combo where Sonic swings it
  • Note: When holding something, press LT/RT to move faster.

• Sonic can grab ledges and can either climb up onto the platform or area, hang on to it and move around the side, or Jump off from it.
  • Opposite Direction of where the Ledge is + A: Jump in that direction

• Sonic can hang on the side of them like the regular Ledges, but some Tightrope Rails can't be grabbed or have spikes on them.

• A: Jump off
• Left Analog (Up) + A: Sonic climbs up the pole faster

• A: Jump off
• X/B: Let go of the pole

• Up + A: Jump up above the pole
• Left + A: Jump to the left of the pole
• Right + A: Jump to the right of the pole
• Opposite Direction of where the pole is + A: Jump in that direction

Critical Attacks

• Critical Attacks are different for every enemy
• Doing a Critical Attack makes the enemy drop more Chaos Orbs (experience) than when you normally defeat them. However, be aware of where you activate them because Sonic may send enemies flying near bottomless pits.
• If you fail a Critical Attack, Sonic will take damage instead while the enemy you tried it on will recover full health.
• The time it takes to pull off Critical Attacks changes depending on how much health the enemy has left. The less health the Enemy has, the longer you can pull off Critical Attacks.
• If you're trying to perform a grab instead of a Critical Attack, knock them to the ground and then grab them.
• While doing a Critical Attack Sonic will be unaffected by outside attacks until the QTE is over. However, once it's over Sonic may get hit by an incoming attack so shield as soon as you can.
• Using a Critical Attack will force an Egg Fighter to drop their swords and shields.

Skill Lists

At the beginning of the game, Sonic the Werehog starts out with 10 attack combos. As you increase his Combat Stat, more effective and stronger techniques will be unlocked. To see what moves the Sonic the Werehog can do, press the Start Button, and choose the option Skills. On this menu, it splits all of Sonic the Werehog's techniques into 4 categories and shows the Button sequences.

Here I put down all info involving every technique, in that same order.

Straight Attacks

Hook Attacks

Aerial Attacks

Note: If you try doing these after Sonic Double Jumps or Dash Jumps, he may not go through the entire combo.

Special Attacks

Items

There are different items that Sonic can use in Sonic Unleashed. I've separated them into 5 different categories: Regular Items, Gimmicks, Traps and Hazards, Collectible Items, and Mission Items.

Regular Items are items that can easily be found throughout Entrance Stages and Acts. Some act as Power-ups.

Gimmicks

Traps and Hazards

Collectible Items

Sun and Moon Medals/Levels

When Sonic collects Sun Medals, Chip's Sun Level will increase and when Sonic collects Moon Medals, Chip's Moon Level will increase. Certain Gaia Gates (portals to Acts) only open once Chip reaches a certain Sun or Moon level.

For example, in order to open Sun Level 4 Gaia Gates and unlock new Day Acts, Chip's Sun Level has to be 4 or higher.

In order to collect Sun Medals and Moon Medals you have to find them in the Town Stages, Entrance Stages, Acts, Missions, and Boss Battles, and have Sonic touch them. Professor Pickle has 6 Sun Medals and 6 Moon Medals that he'll sometimes give Sonic after giving him Souvenirs.

• If you see a Sun or Moon Medal that's transparent, that means you've already collected it.
• There are 200 Sun Medals and 200 Moon Medals, making a grand total of 400 Medals that can be collected.
• There are 4 Achievements for Collecting Sun and Moon Medals:
  • Partly Cloudy: Collect 100 Sun Medals
  • Sunny: Collect all 200 Sun Medals
  • Half Moon: Collect 100 Moon Medals
  • Full Moon: Collect all 200 Moon Medals
• In the Town stages, Moon Medals will only appear during the daytime and Sun Medals only appear during the nighttime.
• Day Acts have more Moon Medals than Sun Medals and Night Acts have more Sun Medals than Moon Medals.
• You can see how many Sun and Moon Medals are in a Town Stage, Entrance Stage, Act, Mission, and Boss Battle by pausing the game and looking in the bottom right corner of the Pause Screen Menu.
• You can look at the number of Medals you need to reach the next Sun/Moon Medal by standing on a inactive Gaia Gate and having Chip tell you or by looking at the gauges in the Status on the Pause Screen Menu.
• In order to beat the game you will need to be at Sun Level 7 and Moon Level 6.

Food

When Sonic goes to the Town Stage Shops, you can buy Food Items that Sonic and Chip can eat. When you press the Start Button, go to the Pause Screen Menu, and then go to the Inventory to select and eat Food. All of your Food items will have an icon that looks like a yellow loaf of bread.

When Sonic eats Food, he gains Experience. When Chip eats Food, you increase his Friendship Level, which is a invisible stat. There are also 3 Videotapes you can get by feeding Chip in certain Countries. Food can only be eaten in Town Stages.

There are 2 Achievements involving Food. If you're trying to get the BFF Achievement, check the Food below to see what Chip likes to eat.

Chip's Commentary: Sometimes after giving Chip food to eat, he'll say something. The more he comments, the higher your Friendship Level with him is.

Professor Pickle's Lab

In Professor Pickle's Lab, you can talk to him to find out where Sonic and Chip should go next, which will unlock other Countries, and look at Hints.

When Sonic gives him Souvenirs, more Hints will be added and there's a chance he'll give you 1 of 6 Sun Medals, 1 of 6 Moon Medals, Art Book 19, Art Book 20, Art Book 52, Art Book 53, Record 3, and 3 extra flashes for the Uncanny Camera.

• After Sonic buys the TV, Bookshelf, and Gramophone from Spagonia's Town Stage Shop, you'll be able to look at artwork, see the Townspeople and Enemies you've met, watch cutscenes from the story, and listen to music.
• To view/listen to music in Professor Pickle's Shamar Lab, buy the Audio System from Shamar's Town Stage Shop.

Souvenirs

When Sonic brings Professor Pickle 1 or more Souvenirs, he gives you extra Hints about Acts, Missions, Bosses, and other parts of the game for each one given.

Professor Pickle may also give Sonic 1 of 6 Sun Medals, 1 of 6 Moon Medals, Art Book 19, Art Book 20, Art Book 52, Art Book 53, Record 3, and 3 extra Flashes for Chip's Camera. However, when he decides to give these to Sonic is random.

• There are 5 Souvenirs for each Country. Altogether, there are 45 Souvenirs in the game.
• There are 2 Achievements for Souvenirs:
  • 1 that requires giving Professor Pickle at least 1 Souvenir
  • 1 that requires giving all of them to Professor Pickle.

Art Books/Bookshelf

Altogether, there are 71 Art Books in the game.

The Art Books can be viewed in Professor Pickle's Lab after Clearing Savannah Citadel Night Act 1 and buying a Bookshelf from Spagonia's Town Stage Shop.

Bookshelf

• The Bookshelf is an Enclyopedia that has 3 sections: Data Archives, Directory, and Bestiary.

• To get Videotapes 57, 58, and 59, you have to increase Chip's Friendship Level and feed him a Food from the same Country while in that Town Stage.

Note: When I was in Holoska, I fed him 11 Canned Horror and 1 Perma Meat, so my results for Video 58 may be off.

Records/Gramophone/Audio System

You can listen to Records in Professor Pickle's Spagonian Lab after Clearing Savannah Citadel Night Act 1 and buying a Gramophone from Spagonia's Town Stage Shop. To listen to Records in Professor Pickle's Shamarain Lab, you have to buy a Audio System from Shamar's Town Stage Shop.

Gramophone

• Item Description: An old (but not forgotten!) device.

NOTE: My list is based on the same order as the one in Professor Pickle's Lab. However, when some of the Records are found, the numbers shown don't go in that order. I believe I fixed all the mistakes but if you see one, please contact me.

Traveling Salesman Wentos

• Directory Entry: In a classic tale of a boy and his puppet, Wentos travels the world with his inanimate buddy Chao. If it weren't for the obvious size difference, nobody would believe the feisty Chao' wasn't the one controlling the painfully shy Wentos''.

Wentos is a young man in a green suit, wearing a green hat, and is holding a briefcase in one hand and a Chao hand puppet in the other. After restoring the Green Chaos Emerald, you may notice him standing in the Mazuri Town Stage. When you talk to Wentos for the first time (in the name bar it will say A mysterious youth), regardless if which option you choose, he'll run and go to another Country.

To get Wentos to sell stuff:

1. Talk to him inside the Mazuri Town Stage (Pick any choice).
2. Talk to him inside the Holoska Town Stage (Pick any choice).
3. Talk to him inside the Chun-nan Town Stage (Pick any choice).
4. Talk to him inside the Spagonia Town Stage (talk to him twice).
5. Finally, upon reaching Shamar, talk to him twice, and he will sell stuff to you.

• Wentos is Townsperson #98. Apparently, he's not a native from any Country.
• Wentos will not go to Adabat until you've unlocked it yourself.
• It seems he's been to Shops in most of the Countries and bought 1 Souvenir and some of the local foods from each one. You need these to complete your own collection of Food and Souvenirs.
• Once Sonic talks or buys something from him, he goes off to a different Country. Where he travels to next and what he sells can be entirely random.
• Some of the Items he sells can be bought at other shops but he changes the prices of his items each time you meet, so you may be able to get it cheaper.
• When you do spot him in the Town Stages, check to see how many Rings you have before speaking to him, because some of the items he sells are exclusive and can't be purchased anywhere else. Also, until you actually talk to him, he will stay in the same spot.
• Wentos will travel everywhere except Eggmanland.
• 1 of the Achievements in the game involves Wentos:
  • First Time Customer: Buy any item from Wentos for the first time

Experience

Similar to Sonic and the Secret Rings, this game has an experience/level up system that allows Sonic to become faster during the Daytime and stronger during the Nighttime. After eating Food and collecting Chaos Orbs from Enemies in levels, you can choose to increase Sonic's Stats either by going to the Status option on the Pause Screen while on the World Map, Town Stage, or Entrance Stage, or wait until you complete an Act, Mission, or Boss Battle and do it after seeing the Results Screen.

When comparing Experience Points and Bars: 1 Experience Bar = 100 Experience Points

However, it's easier to calculate experience points received from Food than Enemies and Chaos Orbs. Once you're on the Status Screen, you will see the Experience Gauge (a gauge showing how much experience you have collected) and underneath it bars for different stats (to switch between Hedgehog and Werehog Stats, press LB/RB). To fill a level, just pick the stat and press the A button to fill up the meter. Depending on how many experience points you have in the Experience Gauge affects how much you can put in.

For Example, say Sonic's Strength Stat is at Level 6 and you want to raise it to Level 7. When you check the Strength Stat on the Status Screen, it says it requires at least 10 EXP Bars/1000 EXP to reach Level 7.

• If the Experience Gauge has 12 EXP Bars/1200 EXP, you can fill up all 10 bars to get Strength Stat Level 7 and have 2 Bars/200 EXP left over.
• If the Experience Gauge has 8 EXP Bars/800 EXP, you can fill it in but it will still need 2 EXP Bars/200 more EXP to get Sonic's Strength Stat to Level 7.

• The Experience Gauge can only hold up to 99 EXP Bars/9999 EXP.
• As far as collecting Experience goes, you'll collect more from:
  • Night Acts, Night Missions, and Exorcisms, especially if you use Critical Attacks on all the enemies, including the Titans and Big Mothers
  • Sonic eating Don Fachio's Hot Dogs, which give him 70 EXP each
  • Sonic eating Dureeks or Hero Sandwiches from Wentos, which give him 50 EXP each
  • Clearing Missions
• There are 6 Achievements involving gaining Experience and Leveling Up:
  • Basher: Increase Sonic's Combat Stat to Level 5
  • Smasher: Increase Sonic's Combat Stat to Level 10
  • Crasher: Increase Sonic's Combat Stat to Level 15
  • Thrasher: Increase Sonic's Combat Stat to Level 20
  • Blue Streak: Increase Sonic's Speed Stat to Level 11 and Ring Energy Stat to Level 6
  • Power Overwhelming: Increase Sonic's Combat Stat to Level 31 and his Strength Stat, Life Stat, Unleash Stat, and Shield Stat to Level 11

Speed Stat

This Stat increases how fast Sonic can go during the day.

Ring Energy Stat

This Stat increases Sonic's maximum Ring Energy Gauge and makes it deplete slower.

Combat Stat

This Stat gives Sonic the Werehog more attacks and combos he can use in battle. This is the most important stat to level up because you'll want Sonic to learn stronger Combos for later Night Acts, Night Missions, and Night Boss Battles.

If you want to know how to do these attacks, press start, and select Skills (or go to the Skill Lists Section of this FAQ).

Strength Stat

This increases the Werehog's offense and defense.

Life Stat

This increases the length of the Health Bar, giving the Werehog more HP.

Unleash Stat

This increases the size of the the Unleash Gauge and lowers the bar so Sonic can use Unleash Mode earlier.

Shield Stat

This increases the amount of energy in the Shield Gauge, allowing Sonic to guard more often.

Scavenging

There are 2 goals when playing the Acts in this game: getting high Ranks/Scores and Scavenging.

Scavenging focuses more on collecting all the items in the Act instead worrying about high scores, losing lives, and getting to the Goal late.

My suggestion for Scavengers and people trying to get high Ranks/Scores: don't try to do both, unless you're doing a Night Act that's not difficult. The reason is that some of the Collectible Items in the game are hidden in places where Sonic may have to slow down, or lose a life because of being missed or for being on a different path. Of course, that doesn't mean that if you want to grab an item that happens to be on the way, ignore it. I'm just saying that when you're Scavenging, focus on the items, not your score.

World Map

In the beginning of the game, the World Map won't be fully assessable until after you've Defeated the Day Boss: Egg Beetle. Tails will give you a tutorial on it after Clearing Savannah Citadel Night Act 1 and leaving the Spagonia Town Stage. Every time you continue from your Save File, you will be brought here.

Basically, it shows a broken globe that shows all the Countries you have access to, which are represented by each Country's Flag, and it shows whether it's Day or Night for the Country with small Sun and Moon icons. You'll also see any planet pieces that haven't been restored yet.

In the top left corner, you can see your current number of Lives, Sun Medals, Moon Medals, and Rings.

• After beating the game, Eggmanland's Planet Piece will act as if it never got restored
• Countries that you've downloaded DLC for will have a green wireframe globe icon with a yellow arrow pointing down on the left corner of the Country's Flag

Town Stages

The Town Stages are the first areas Sonic and Chip go to when they first arrive in a Country. In these stages Sonic can talk to Townspeople to get information on the story or Missions, buy items from different Town Stage Shops, and get access to the Entrance Stages. On the World Map, when you select a Country, choose Go to Capital/Village if you want to go to the Town Stage.

When the loading screen comes up, it shows a map of the area, with symbols that represent the World Map Gate, Town Shop, Entrance Stage Gate and, for Spagonia and Shamar, the Lab where Professor Pickle is. The World Map Gate takes you back to the World Map Screen and has 2 small blue holographic globes to the sides. The Entrance Stage Gate takes you to the Entrance Stage and has a circle floating inside it with the sun and the moon rotating. Most Shops have people standing behind a counter, but in some places they'll be standing around, so talk to everyone you meet.

• Sonic and Chip can only eat Food in the Town Stages
• During the Day, you can find Moon Medals, while during the Night you can find Sun Medals. When you go to the Pause Screen Menu in a Town Stage, a number will appear to show how many there are and if you got them all.

Entrance Stages

These are the hub areas in the game where you can play Acts and certain completed Missions, collect Rings, Extra Lives, Special Shoes, and certain Collectible Items.

After you defeat the Day Boss: Egg Beetle, you'll find Hourglasses in the Entrance Stages that allow you to switch between Day and Night. Some Entrance Stages have areas that can only be accessed during the Day or during the Night.

• The Portals to the Acts are called Gaia Gates. The Portals to the Bosses are called Boss Gates.
• The Day Act Gaia Gates are only open during the daytime and the Night Act Gaia Gates are only open during the Nighttime.
• You won't be able to access Act 2 or Act 3 Day/Night Gaia Gates until you have enough Sun/Moon Medals and you have Cleared Act 1.
• Some Entrance Stages won't have a Day Act 3 Gaia Gate, Night Act 2 Gaia Gate, or a Boss Gate (unless you downloaded the DLC Packs)

Acts

NIGHT FIGHT Template

Result Screen

The Result Screen appears at the end of each Act and Mission. It shows you if you made a new record time wise and gives you a Rank based on certain things within the stage. The ranks range from S being the highest while E is the lowest.

• Time: How long it took to beat the level
• Rings: How many rings you had at the end
• Speed: Points given depending on how fast you went through the Checkpoints
• Enemy: Points given for enemies defeated
• Tricks: points given for going over Ramps, Rainbow Rings, and passing QTE Gimmicks

• Time: How long it took to beat the level
• Rings: How many Rings you had at the end
• Enemy: Points given for enemies defeated
• Combo: Points given for the number of Combos done
• Crush: Points given for the destroying objects in the background
• In order to get high ranks in the Night Acts, take your time, smash everything, collect Dark Gaia Force, defeat certain enemies with Critical Attacks, and try not to lose a life. You donﾕt necessarily need Combos to get higher ranks, but it does increase the total a little.

• To get higher ranks in the Boss Battles, beat the boss as fast as possible.

• Time: How long it took to beat the level
• Enemies Defeated: Points given for enemies defeated
• Max Combo: Points given for the highest number of successive hits
• Shield: Points given for amount of shield left

Walkthrough: Run down the hill and collect Rings. Keep running even when you see the gap up ahead. Jump up the hill, Home Attack the Spring, and Grind it to the Checkpoint.

CHECKPOINT

Home Attack the enemies to make the pulley come down. Then Home Attack the other enemies, and run down the path. Dodge the spikes and you'll reach the Goal Ring.

END OF WINDMILL ISLE DAY ACT 1

Scoring an S Rank:

• Beat the level without getting hit, destroying all the enemies, and in under 45-50 seconds.

Windmill Isle Day Act 2

• Rings: Coming Soon
• Extra Lives: 2
• Experience: 140 EXP
• Summary: Sonic runs through the island while trashing Egg Fighters and Spinners. This level is sort of a tutorial of Sonic's other moves besides what you learned in Windmill Isle Day Act 1. This is truly level 1 for the Day Acts.

Walkthrough: Boost through the path from the starting point. When Sonic hit the Spring at the end, he'll hit a Rainbow Ring, and land in an area with 3 Egg Fighters. Defeat them to make the Pulley come down.

CHECKPOINT #1

Home Attack the Spinners in order to get across the gap. After Sonic lands, Boost to the next Checkpoint.

CHECKPOINT #2

Continue Boosting and Slide when the B Button shows up on the screen.

CHECKPOINT #3

Sonic will eventually land on a 3 way Grind Rail. Move from the middle rail to avoid the spike and Boost from here. Sonic will go over a Ramp that sends you into the next Checkpoint.

CHECKPOINT #4

Switch from the middle rail to avoid the spike and switch back to it once it's passed. Boost from here and go into the Directional Launcher. After going up in the air you'll see a moving platform, an Egg Spring, and a Spring Pole. Do not use a Homing Attack here. Just wait for the platform to come down and jump on top of the spring pole to get up. Boost and hold the slide Button to go into a series of springs and Dash Panels. When you see the Egg Fighter, Home Attack it and the Spinners, and land on the other side. Up ahead is a QTE Ramp. If you pass it you will take a shortcut.

CHECKPOINT #5

From here is a fork in the road. It doesn't matter which path you choose because you'll end up sliding under a crack towards the end. Hit the spring and use the pulleys to get up to the checkpoint.

LAST CHECKPOINT

Jump to the platform and then Home Attack the Spinners to get to the other side. Boost from here to get to a 2D area. Once you get to the other side you'll hit another QTE Ramp. If you pass it you'll take another shortcut. Jump over the spikes and hit the Rainbow Ring to avoid the next set of spikes. Then hit the spring and land on the Goal Ring.
