Warp with the Robotnik head and it will take you to an island with a giant rocket on it. There is a warp on the island to take you to Robotnik's air ship.

You can make it any color just when your in an action stage and you get an animal you look at the bottom of the screen where all of your animals are located and look at the animals background color (deers background=green)give 20 of those same colored animals to get a chao that color

WEIRD ITEMS
Have you ever noticed some weird items that you can't do anything with. Some items I've found are: bombs (THEY EXPLODE!!), skulls, green, blue, and orange item boxes from PSO, game boxes of old sonic games, and even an X Box!!!!!! Actually I'm not sure its an X Box but its a black box about the same size and shape of an x-box, and it has a green X on it that looks EXACTLY like the x-box's logo. The PSO items can be found on the ARK on Rouge's last stage, and the X-Box can be found in Sonic's CRAZY GADGET stage (the x-box is on an x-shaped floor but look carefully because it blends in with the floor)

Easy  Way To Beat The Rock Head Dude

All right this is very simple.  When you get around the big rocky dude when he stops and there are the walkways on his back, Do not use your bounce technique, Because when you do that it forces you to go down really fast.
The best way to beat him is just to jump on the stairs.  Another thing, If that little blue robot tells you that you should use the bounce technique because its the easiest way to get to the top, Then he is wrong.

Hints for Pumpkin hill on HARD

Are you stuck on Pumpkin Hill on hard? Well here's the solution.
 
 This is much harder than the 1st mission. From the start, go to the right. Look out for the ghost. Hit him 3 times, or jump over him. Take the rocket up, but grab the wall. Head down as far as you can. Then, Jump and glide. You will see the emerald above the spiny balls. If you're lucky you'll get it on you're first try. If you don't, go back to the bottom of the mountain and jump again. The second emerald is on Pumpkin Mountain. Go around untill you find the ledge with the two skulls blowing fire. You will have to climb the wall where the fire hits. Dig. You should find the next emerald. The last one is hard. Go to Church Mountain and climp to the top of the church. Keep trying until you get a view of the sky. Pause and hold Y & X together. See the green sparkle? That's the emerald! Now for getting it. Go to Pumpkin Mountain. Find the spring behind a metal wall-like structure. Bounce and glide toward Church Mountain. You should be at the same height as the emerald. Keep tr!
ying until you get it.
Huh? Looking for the lost Chao? Well, first snag the Mystic melody from the picture in Wild Canyon. Then, go to the top of Pumpkin Mountain. See the weird box? Use Mystic Melody on it. Take the steps to the top. There he is!

Turning Chao Evil

A easier way of turning chao's evil than petting them and raising them with evil characters is to punch, kick and hurt your chao. If it starts crying hit it some more and it will turn darker and darker until it is black. Then when it evolves it will be evil. Also when you have both evil and hero chao's you open up evil race and hero race in chao stadium.

Chao Pillow

To give a sleeping Chao a pillow, shake a nut of the tree, and set it next to the Chao's head. The Chao will scoot back and use it for a pillow.

Beat the BioLizard


To beat the BioLizard with Shadow, collect the first 7 rings, then run away from him. Once he starts panting, then you jump and use the Homing Attack to do an unbelieveably fast grind up the pipe coming out of it's mouth. It will get angry and start to shoot out electric egg-like balls at you. Just jump and dodge them and attack again.

NOTE: ONLY GRIND ON THE PIPE WHEN IT IS LIGHTING UP.

Be Like Ash

To be like Ash from Pokemon, get the MAGIC GLOVES from the City Escape level. Then, once you come out of the hole, there will be a WalkerBot in front of you. Get directly under it and change the action to Magic Gloves. You can then capture him in a clear "Poke-Ball" like object, and throw him at other enemies and it will blow him up!

Use chaos control on Last Stage Story mode

Ever wish that you could make those stop clocks last just a little longer? Well, theres a way. When you are using Tails/Eggman, you can do it in possibly three (3) different ways:

1. Aim at the clock, then touch without letting go of the button (it should work for about five seconds more than normal.

2. Aim and repeatedly fire at the clock quickly, after about so many times immeadiately hold the button and run where you need to go and hope it works.

3.Same as number three, but rotate the control stick

I still haven't found a way with Rouge/Kuckles yet.

With Sonic, this is the easiest to perform.
When you come into the room that leads to the two walkers, and the floating chaos guy, use the magic gloves on everybody. Once you get to where the clock is, get Sonic ready to perform a super Sonic Spin dash. Hit it at full speed, and the Chaos Control effect should kick in right about...now! If it doesn't work here, use it on the clock just before you go down the big red tube and 'Botnik tells you that it's all up to you. This makes everything easier, especially on the third mission.

After the loop you will run down the building and hit the bouncers and land on a flight of stairs.Run up them and on the floor you will see a grey square made up of 4 metal boxes. Jump above them and use the bounce attack and the box you hit will break. You fall into a small room and the Magic Gloves are there.

Second costumes

All you have to do is pull off rank A on all of any character's missions to get their second costumes. Believe me it is way harder then it sounds!!

Ghost Chao

To get ghost chao,  go to the black market in the chao kindergarten.  Buy a white egg.  Either wait until it hatches or hatch it yourself.  Then get lots of bats(3 or 4, maybe more, it took me 3) from the levels and give them to the chao that came from the white egg.  Then go to the fortune teller and name him Ghostly.

Pumpkin chao


Get some skeleton dogs(good place to do it is pumpkin hill or pyramid cave).  Give them to your chao.  Then start digging with knuckles ou rouge and eventually a you'll find a pumpkin.  I found my pumpkin in the hero garden.  Give the pumpkin to the chao who you gave the skeleton dogs to and he will put it on his head.

You start out with chao garden/Be nice and if your chao evelves good it opens up Hero garden/Be evil and your chao evolves evil to get the dark garden/(The hardest one to get) Get a nuetral and chaos chao (both) to get chaos garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easy way to beat the Last Stage on Hero and Dark

For both Hero and Dark you must fight the hedgehog that resembles you. You will fight on a long runway that goes on until you win. When you start fighting you can hit the enemy regularly for awhile until eventually he'll block your attack. The best way to hit him then is to wait until they get far ahead of you. You then start up the Spin Dash in the middle of the runway. Eventually the enemy will start their special attack. Right before it hits you release the Spin Dash. If you stay perfectly strait you'll hit him. Do this until your opponent dies.

Beating the Last Boss, Biolizard, the REAL Shadow

There are 2 parts to this battle.  The first part you dodge his attacks(shadow ball, bite, bombing, charge) then when he gets energy from his life force orb, grind up the pipe coming out of his mouth then use the homing attack( pres A in the air) and hit the orb on his back.  Then when he uses the bombing attack that surrounds him,  use the homing attack until you get to the orb and then hit it.  Then when he lifts the gravity,  dodge the bombs and hit the orb and kill him.  When you become SuperSonic and UltimateShadow,  press A and B to attack and hit the swelling spot with the charge attack.  If you run out of rings, you lose.  To switch between Sonic and Shadow, Go under the Finalhazard(the boss) and it will switch between characters.  When you beat it, you warp ARK back into orbit and Shadow gets caught in The explosion of the boss and dies. 

Secret Races (And hard Chao Karate)

When you first go to Chao Race, you only have beginner and multi-player races. You can get more of them! To get the Jewel and Challenge races, beat all 3 levels of all 4 courses. (You'll also get special toys in the prosess.) To get the Hero and Dark races, you obviously need a hero and dark chao. NOTE: You unlock the Hero and Dark races together. To get Super mode in Chao karate, you must win the Beginner, Standard, and Hard modes. NOTE: At the end of the Challenge, Hero, and Dark races, you'll face incredibly powerful Chaos Chao! So be careful! You will also face Chaos Chao at the 3rd, 4th, and final rounds of Super mode. How to get them? That's a secret!

the floor. Break open the tube and go through it. When you come out you will see a Ring Box next to a tower. Climb up the tower and on the top you will find
one 1-up. Glide left and you will find another 1-up. Glide to the left one more time and you will find yet one more 1-up. Since you won't want to go through
the level again just glide to the right until you get to the tower you started from. Get on that first tower and glide to the right. The Act will be over and you will
have 3 lives more that how much you started the act with.

Different Battle Music
from Tony (rzor1@aol.com)
Just before Before you fight Robotnik in the Hydrocity Zone, act 2, the boss music will come. Keep Sonic's head under the shallow water until he is about to

flybots will continue to attack, and eventually their value will increase to 10,000 points! Every five flybots will gain you a life and, if you're patient enough, you
can earn up to 99 lives!

Level Select
from DeepC3603@aol.com
There are two level select codes for Sonic 3. The second method is easier, but requires a copy of Sonic 2. Here's how to do each of them:

Method 1:
Immediately after the SEGA screen appears, Sonic will charge at you in a ball. While he's doing this, quickly press Up, Up, Down, Down, Up, Up, Up,
Up. Timing on this trick is crucial.

Method 2:
This code requires a Sonic 2 cartridge. Insert Sonic 2 and enter the Sonic 2 Level Select (play sounds 19, 65, 09, and 17). Return to the title screen,
hold A and press Start. To transfer this to Sonic 3, hold A and carefully remove the cartridge without turning off the Genesis. Insert Sonic 3 and press
Reset. Finally, release A and press Down twice at the main menu.

Note: You'll notice a few levels you haven't seen before, but you can't select them. Since the U.S. version is only 16 megs compared to the Japanese 24-meg
cart, those levels had to go.

Oil Ocean Music
from Roadkill! (roadkill6@hotmail.com)
Here's a way to play the Oil Ocean music through the whole game. Go to the OPTIONS screen and enter sounds 1, 9, 9, 2, 1, 1, 2, 4. You should hear the

Super Sonic
To become Super Sonic without getting all the Chaos Emeralds, first enable the level select and debug mode. When the game begins, create a power-up box.
There should be an 'S' on the box. Jump on it to grab 50 rings and become Super Sonic!

Super Tails
from Greg Rozelle (greg@hotmail.com)
Enable Level Select, then press Down to make sure you have the sound test (don't select it yet). Start a one-player game and choose Tails in the Data Select
screen. When the timer appears, press RESET.

Enter the Sound Test menu and choose any zone. Hold A and press Start. You should be Tails and be in debug mode. From here press B, then press A until
you see a box. Press C to select it, then press B to return to Tails.

To enable Super Tails, jump on the box. Tails will look weird and can not be hurt or lose any rings. He can still get squashed and drowned, though, so be
careful in the Ice Cap zone. You will have do this at the beginning of each zone. Robotnik can hurt him at the very end of Launch Base zone-act 2.

Codes - Sonic Adventure - Dreamcast

Play as Super Sonic
Play through the game with every character and the 7th character "Super Sonic" will be opened. This is the only real way to fight Perfect Chaos, the final boss. Submitted by The Notorious C.A.B (Mesosymon@aol.com)

Sonic Tokens
You can get 5 Sonic Tokens from Chao Race. Just raise a chao then go to the Chao Race chose the first choice and then the place where your chao is. Then chose a crystal and win each one then a 5th one will appear and chose it. If you have trouble finding levels you have beat and want the tokens go to the main options at the chose the second option. You can go to any level you have beaten with out running around for it. This is good if you need to collect more tokens and it tells you which ones you have gotten and where. There are Tokens hidden around the world which shouldn't be to hard to find. I have 114 tokens and missing 6 with Sonic. Submitted by Jimmy Haver

Super Speed with Sonic
If you have trouble beating time trial with Sonic constantly click X or B and you will spin real fast. In some levels you have to do this to beat time trial. Submitted by Jimmy Haver (Chocobo4@juno.com)

[ The following codes were submitted by JagarXK180@aol.com but I believe he/she got them from the Ultimate Sonic Adventure FAQ found here. ]

A Clone of Knuckles
Play through the game (with all the characters) until you get Super Sonic. In Super Sonics Adventure, go to the crashed island. There you see Knuckles and Eggman (Robotnik). After the clip, press A+B+X+Y+Start. Then choose Knuckles. Go to the same place, and there are two Knuckles! This works with other characters, too, but it's not as funny.

Aztec Forest Shortcut
To get to the Frog and the Emerald as Tails in one step do as fallows. After riding the trolly to the Aztec Forest you should be standing up high on a platform overlooking the forest. If you stand on the edge and look down and to the left you will see two trees sticking out of the canopy that are close together. Fly toward the trees and land next to the one that is closest to the ledge you jumped from. You should be standing on top of the canopy. Walk around the first tree until you fall through the canopy and end up right by the emerald and the frog.

Better Chao Parenting
Instead of throwing a Chao against a wall to hatch it, try just rubbing the egg like you were rubbing the Chao. Then set it down and back away. It will start jumping, and then it will hatch. They seem to like you better if you do this.

Black Morphing Chao
First you have to be the robot. To get a black chao go into the egg catcher and go to the bridge. On the bridge you see three doors. Go in the one with the prison. Open the middle cell by jumping on the peg and take the egg back to the bridge. On the bridge go behind the chair Robotnik sits on, behind it is a door with 6 buttons in front of it, stomp on them in an order that spells E-G-G-M-A-N and the door will open. while still holding the egg step into the teleporter in the room, then you'll be in the egg catcher chao garden, now just hatch the egg

Change View in Twinkle Park Race
To change the view in Twinkle Park Race, press UP to toggle between inside, outside, and far out view. This also works when playing the first bumper car portion of the level.

Clean Pause
To remove the pause menu, press X and Y together at the pause menu. This is good if you want to take screenshots.

Drive with anyone in Twinkle Circuit.
After completing the game with all six characters, you will be able to race in Twinkle Circuit with anyone. Just select the character you want, then go to station square. Once your there, go over to the little patch of grass and weeds by speed highway entrance, and pick up the ticket. (It will be rotating, and easy to spot.) Then go into the Twinkle Park building, and instead of entering Twinkle Park, enter Twinkle Circuit. You will hear a special noise that tells you that the secret is unlocked. Now just repeat the process for all the characters. Best racers: Knuckles Sonic Tails E-102 Big Amy

Easy Emblems as Knuckles
If you are having trouble getting the 1 minute emlems as Knuckles, here is a trick that will make it much easier. Find the first emerald shard, but don't touch it! Instead, pause the game and restart the level. Now run to it as fast as you can. Since the shards act as save-points, find the next one and repeat. Do this until you have all three.

Free Rings As Tails
Go to any place with grass and look for a dark green weed. Wack it with your tail. If you are lucky, a ring or extra life will appear.

Free Rings Part 2
While playing with Knuckles and have the Silver knuckle gloves, goto a place where you can dig and in most places (especially places with plants) you can uncover up to 20 rings.

Golden Chao Baby
There are two open shops in the part of Station Square with the open manhole. The golden chao's egg is in one of them. Unfortunately every time you lift the egg from its pressure sensitive platform, the doors are barred shut. Go to the city hall area where you fought Chaos 0 and look near the walls and grass. An egg-shaped rock is here, and you can put it on the platform in the store. You may now leave freely with the golden chao egg.

Metallic Chao Baby
To get the one-of-a-kind metallic chao baby, go to the waterfall near the subway and look to the right of it. You will see a sort of platform. Go to it and push it. A metallic egg will fall down the waterfall and into the pond. When it reaches the land pick t up and bring it to the nearest Chao sanctuary. Throw it and it will hatch.

NiGHTS Chao baby
Give your Chao baby 20 different purple animals and it will start to look a character from the Sega Saturn game NiGHTS

One-and-a-Half Play
When you are playing Sonic's action stages and Tails is on the screen, a second player can control Tails with a second controller. Any rings Tails collects will be added to Sonic's totals. Be careful to not make Tails break open any shields, invincibilities or One Up item boxes as those will not be added to Sonic and will be wasted. This feature may seem trivial to most people, but you'd be surprised how much fun it can be trying to outrun player one (who's playing Sonic) when you're controlling Tails. ;)

PC Wallpaper
If you insert your Sonic Adventure game disc into a PC CDROM drive, you will have access to a directory called "extras". Inside you'll find a number of Sonic Adventure desktop wallpapers you can decorate your PC's desktop with.

Secret Chao Puzzle Game
After you start up the Sonic Adventure game, place a controller into the D port on your Dreamcast and have a VMS in the controller. A hidden Chao Puzzle game will appear on the VMS screen. It is a tile based puzzle game where you have to use the Dreamcast's controller to move the pieces of a moving picture around to win. After every five puzzles you solve, a little animation will play on the VMS screen.

Sonic's Snowboard
Select Just before entering the snowboarding part of the ice stage, press X to get Sonic's blue snowboard (previously seen in Sonic 3 and Sonic Triple Trouble). Press B to get Sonic's yellow board (only seen in Sonic Adventure.)

Sonic's Special Super Speed Shoes In the Station Square
Head towards where you first faught Chaos (0.) Instead of going in the park, go to the hole in the ground. Fall in, then follow the path. You will find a rainbow colored area, step in.To get out, speed until Sonic says "Ready?" and keep holding down the speed button. press the button with the star on it and let go of the speed button.

50,000 Point Bonus
When you are able to collect all the chaos rings, the special stage entrance still appears after collecting fifty rings. This time, the stage appears in a wire frame form which makes it harder. Finish the stage and you get 50,000 points!

Playing Tip
When choosing characters it's best to consider what you need for the next level. For example, if you're after raw speed the combination of Mighty and Espieo can't be beat. For power, Hevey and Espieo are your best bet, and for moments when you need both (like fighting bosses) try Charmie and Hevey.

Hint: Defeating the final Boss:
When you get to the Boss, duck and shoot your fireball. This works quickly and is effective. This is easy, because he uses his arms more than his legs -- he will only kicks with about one in every ten punches. Note: You will still get hit -- jump back and forth if needed.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Columns
Second magic jewel:
Create one row of normal jewels stacked almost to the top of the playfield. Allow a vertical space for only two of the three jewels in the next block to fit.. Watch the preview window for the next magic jewel block. When it appears, quickly move it to the top of the prepared stack.

Phantasy Star 2
Slow motion:
Pause game play while in the countryside by holding Start + A. Keep A pressed to move in slow motion.
No opponents in dungeons:
Continuously press B to display the control menu and A to close it while holding the D-pad in any direction.

Hint: Shortcut:
After leaving the second town (the one the bandits destroyed), go west along the bottom of the isle to the side of the tunnel. The side of the tunnel is a secret entrance and saves either a long trip back, or 60M for the teleporter.

Hint: Zema slowdown:
In the town of Zema (a resort town), after the biolab, the people are all tourists or elderly, and will habitually block the bridges and paths in town. Patience is a plus.

Hint: Visit Zema and Kueri at the same time:
Due to the fact that the monsters in and around Zema and Kueri are very similar, the game allows for both cities to be visited at the same time. Use this to get better armor and weapons, get and level up Kain the wrecker, and level up your party twice as much, making the dump tower (Roron ) much easier to defeat.
 
Hint: Easy Ceramic Knives:
When Rolf is at level 5, he needs to level up to go to the abandoned building where the "scoundrels" are hiding. The knives he is using are almost useless. The Ceramic Knives in the second town have a hit value of about 25 points for most enemies, but cost 2800M. To buy these knives, build your characters EXP and M around the abandoned building. The monsters here have a value of about 80 to over 100 M most of the time, allowing the knives to be bought just about the time the characters are ready for the abandoned building. This also allows you to buy Rudo's Sonic Guns and Shotgun.
 Hint: Amy with knives:
Contrary to other sources, Amy can use knives. To best suit her abilities, pair the best knives in the Aria with her best shot weapon. Also use knives until a decent shot weapon becomes available.

Hint: Saving money:
When the doctor charges large fees to heal, go to Paseo (the first town), where the doctor only charges a small fee. You will also be in Paseo if you are using the Visiphone and the Ryuka Technique, or retrieving Shir the thief when she steals something.

Hint: Stealing items:
When you get Shir the thief and she is leveled up properly (about level 10) take her to shops. When the text finishes appearing on the screen, press B(2) to leave. Repeat this until Rolf says that Shir is gone. Go back to Rolf's house and she will be there, and the item she stole will be in her inventory. Use this trick in the Central Tower in the first city for the Visiphone, and in the second city (the burnt out one) for the Fire Staff. Shir often finds rare items, but you must have patience. She only steals at random, and has a knack for grabbing daggers and other cheap items first.

Glitch: Catman:
Look closely at the Catman on Uzo Island. It is actually a shapely Catwoman.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenge Of Shinobi
Unlimited shurikens:
Select the "Shurikens" choice on the options screen and set it to 00. After approximately ten seconds this value will change to an infinity symbol.

Hint: Golden Chao egg:
Go to the Station Square area. Then, go to the area when you fought Chaos for the first time. Look to the side of the City Hall entrance to find egg shaped rock. Take the rock to the building to the left from City Hall. Walk to the window to see a golden Chao egg. However, if you try to take it the front door will lock. Replace the egg with the rock and the door will unlock, allowing you to leave with the egg. When the egg hatches you will have a golden Chao.

Hint: Black and blue Chao egg:
Go to the egg carrier. Then, go the jail area where Amy was kept. In the cell next to where she was held is a black and blue egg. Step on the switch to open the door. Take the egg to the garden. When it hatches, it will be a dark grey and dark blue Chao.

Hint: Multiple Chao eggs:
Go to the cell next to where Amy was kept. Pick up the Chao egg and take it to the next room. Drop it down the hole in the middle of the whack a mole game. Go back to the room with the egg. There should be two of them. Pick up the one in the original location, take it to the whack a mole game, and drop it down the same hole. Return to the egg and pick up the one in the original location and there will be one under it. Continue to drop this down the hole and you will get multiple eggs.
 
Get an gold, black or silver egg and hatch it. Then, quit and go back to where you found the egg. It will be there again. You can repeat as many times as desired.

Hint: Iron Chao:
Your Chao must first be evolved. Mate a Gold and a Black Chao and hatch it. Only one out of three eggs will be iron.

Hint: Bronze Chao:
Your Chao must first be evolved. Mate a silver and black Chao and hatch it. Only one ne out of three eggs will be bronze.

Hint: Ruby Chao:
Mate a Dark and Hero Chao. It might take a while, but it will eventually appear.

Hint: Special Chao:
Collect at least 100 emblems to get access to a special section called the Black Market on the Dreamcast Network. A Special Chao can be downloaded from this area.

Hint: Get all five Chaos Emeralds with the Chao:
To get all five of the Chaos Emeralds that you can get with the Chao, you need to log on to the Dreamcast Network and go to the Chao Daycare Section. Download one of the Chaos that are 999 in all four categories. Return to your Chao Garden and race him in a Chao Race. He will leave easily defeat all the other Chao. Repeat this on all five races to get the five possible Chaos Emeralds.

Hint: Finding Emeralds quickly:
Emeralds are always in the same place when you go treasure hunting. Learn where the emerald shards are and you will find them very quickly for the third mission.

Hint: Copy Chao:
Place the VMU with the Chao in socket 1 and the destination VMU in socket 2. Enter the Chao Garden, then leave the Chao Garden. After the "Now Saving" message, look at the data on the VMU. If done correctly, it will have Chao data. Note: The VMU will not have the Chao Game on it. This can be fixed by taking your copied chao out of the VMU, and putting it in the Chao Garden. Then, put the Chao back in your VMU.
Hint: Alternate Chao copying:
To copy a single Chao, you have to have at least one VMU and one memory card. You have to chose the memory card to save your game onto and not the VMU. Go into any of the gardens and pause game play. Then remove the memory card from the controller. Pick up the Chao you want to clone and put it into the VMU. After it is in the VMU, do not put the memory card back into the controller. Instead, just shut off the game so it cannot save it. When you start the game again, the Chao should be in the garden and in the VMU.

Hint: Copy up to 24 Chao at once:
Note: A mega memory card is required for this trick. Choose the game on the MMC with the Chao you want to copy (all twenty four in the three gardens). Go into any garden and pause game play. Switch the port on the back of the MMC to the game that you want to put the Chaos in. Caution: The copied Chaos will remove any of the other Chaos in the game you switched it to. After switching the ports, resume the game and exit the garden. After it finishes saving, you should turn off the game. The copying of Chaos does not affect the game itself, only the Chaos in the gardens.
.
Hint: Unlimited Chaos:
Get the Silver Egg, the Gold Egg, and the Black Egg. Then, go to the Chao Garden. It will save while you are going in. After you are in, put down the Chao then quit. Then go back into the game and go to the same place that you got that Chao Another egg should be sitting there. Repeat this as many times as needed.
.
Hint: Super Chaos:
There are four special evolutions possible for the little Chao creatures: the Sonic, NiGHTS, Alien, and the Dragon. After giving a normal Chao so many certain colored animals it will evolve into one of these. After the first evolution, keep giving it more of the same colored animals. Its new features will continue to grow. If you give it different colored animals, they will shrink.

Hint: Keep Light Speed light on Sonic in Chao Garden:
When you are in the Chao Garden, charge up Light Speed until Sonic says "Ready...!" but do not release the button. Go over to a Chao or Chao Egg and press Y to pick it up while still holding the Light Speed button. When you are holding the Chao or Chao Egg, release of the Light Speed button. You can now walk around with Light Speed without holding the button.

Hint: Sonic The Armadillo:

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.

Hint: Casinopolis: Unlimited rings:
When you get to Casinopolis (level 3), go to the Night Pinball. Try to get five cards. You have to get one pair, two pair, three of a kind, full house, four of a kind, or five of a kind to get rings. Note: This is the best way to complete the level.

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.

Hint: Glide as Tails:
Tails' Rhythm Badge is required for this trick. Go to the Egg Carrier and transform the ship so that the platform where you fought Chaos 6 is there. Note: It could be the other form but it is most likely to be this one. Go down the hill behind the large wall until Tails rumbles and will not go any further.

Do your part of the stage by taking Sonic's route through this place. When you find the room with a hole going down and some rings, climb down until you find the bomb's capsule. Activate the bomb, then in that same place keep jumping until Knuckles goes through the ceiling. Note: This may take some time. When you finally go through it, you will notice that there is no ground, so glide instead. When you get to the building, try finding parts of it that you can go through. It does not matter which one. When you do find one, it should look familiar. You are in Sonic's Lost World.

There is a way to skip the loading time on the stairs on the docks at the Egg Carrier. First, go to the dock. Angle Sonic so that he is on the opposite side from the boat. Then, jump diagonally on to the stairs and keep jumping up to get to the top. For fun, jump off the stairs to see Sonic float for a bit.

Now hold a continuous tail attack and get some speed on the edge of the building. Push up against the side so that Tails flies even further to the right and up. The controls are slightly confusing, but when you figure them out, keep going right and up. When you think you have gone far enough press A so that Tails appears to be flying, but is not using any energy. While in this state, go behind the building that Sonic uses to enter the second part of Speed Highway. There will be a hall there. Go into the hall through the top and run to the end. Sometimes either end will work. Tails will be falling down the side of the building. Press Start and choose restart. This section will restart and you will not be racing Dr. Robotnik any more. When you get to the end of Sonic's section, fly as high as Tails will go through the hallway to Knuckles' section of speed highway. Otherwise Tails, will just fall through a bottomless pit until you run out of lives. And If you die in Knuckles' section the same thing will happen.

Hint: Hero or Dark Chao:
To make a Chao a Hero, simply use a Hero character and keep pressing B or X to pet them. If done long enough, it will go white and be a Hero. To make it Dark, just use a Dark character and do the same thing.

Use only Sonic or Shadow to get the specific Chao. Give the Chao a lot of green animals and after it evolves give it a lot of green Chaos drives.

Hint: Night Chao:
Note: For best results, have a Dark and Hero character take care of the Chao evenly to make it a Normal chao for the evolutionary paths. Have a Dark and Hero character give the Chao lots of Purple animals until it becomes a Normal Chao. Now you can pick one character to take care of the Chao. After it first evolves, give it many Purple Chao drives.
Hint: Ghost Chao:
Give your Chao lots of bats using a dark character until it transforms. The best place for bats using a Dark character is the Sand Ocean level as Eggman.

Glide over to the turntable. There are double boxes. One holds either a bat or a skeleton dog. Restart and repeat as many times as needed.
Hint: Sonic Chao:
Note: For best results, have a Dark and Hero character take care of the Chao evenly to make it a Normal chao for the evolutionary paths.

After it first evolves, give it many Green Chao drives.
Hint: Dragon Chao:
Note: For best results, have a Dark and Hero character take care of the Chao evenly to make it a Normal chao for the evolutionary paths.

Hint: Alien Chao:
Note: For best results, have a Dark and Hero character take care of the Chao evenly to make it a Normal chao for the evolutionary paths. Have a Dark and Hero character give the Chao lots of Yellow animals until it becomes a Normal Chao. Now you can pick one character to take care of the Chao. After it first evolves give it many Yellow Chao drives.
Hint: Light Chaos Chao:
Reincarnate a Chao twice. After its second reincarnation, give it every type of animal, including Imaginary and Ghost. Then, get a Chao Fruit and wait until evolution occurs.
 
Hint: Pumpkin head for Chao:
Find one of the Skeleton Dogs; the easiest place to do so is Pumpkin Hill as Knuckles, and combine it with your Chao. As either Knuckles or Rouge, start digging around in the Chao Garden. Eventually a pumpkin will appear. If you give it to the Chao mixed with the Skeleton Dog it will put it on its head. If you want to take it off, either throw or hit your Chao.
.
You can find pumpkins in the regular and Hero Gardens, and skulls in the dark Garden. Get them by digging as Knuckles or Rouge.

Hint: Skull head for Chao:
Find one of the Skeleton Dogs; the easiest place to do so is Pumpkin Hill as Knuckles, and combine it with your Chao. As either Knuckles or Rouge, start digging around in the Dark Chao Garden. Eventually a skull will appear. If you give it to the Chao mixed with the Skeleton Dog it will put it on its head. If you want to take it off, either throw or hit your Chao.
 
Hint: Chao Egg head for Chao:
As with the skull and pumpkin heads, give a Chao a skeleton dog. Then breed or get an egg for Sonic Adventure/other garden. Hatch the egg and give the collectible part of the egg to the Chao.
Information in this section was contributed by Panzer.
Get a skeleton cat and give it to your Chao. Get an egg peach (the thing it hatched from) and give it to your Chao and he will put it on his head.
 
Hint: Wake a sleeping Chao:
Sleeping Chao are annoying because you cannot feed them. To wake them up, stand next to it and whistle. You do not have to anger them by picking them up during a little nap.

Hint: Resurrect dead Chao:
Have your Chao mate until they create an egg. Set any color of Chao drives around the egg to form a circle. When the egg starts to turn white with yellow on top of it, bring one of your Chao and set it nearby. Your Chao will start to dance around the egg. When it is done, the Chao that died first will be resurrected with every part of small animals you gave it. If you are lucky, two can be resurrected.
Hint: Make Chao come to you:
Enter the Chao Garden. Press Y until the whistle appears. Whistle and your Chao will get a question mark, look for you, and come running.
 
Hint: Chao raising:
First, get all the animals you want for your Chao. Make sure that you get the Chao you want it to look like. Then, stop and collect Chaos drives only. Chaos drives are the same as animals, but they do not change your Chao's appearance. Chaos drives are the thin pieces of machinery that fall off of the G.U.N. machines when you destroy them. This way, you can get your Chao to have good stats without having to worry about a good feature being bumped off. Note: Yellow is swimming, green is running, red is strength and purple is flying.
.
Hint: Quick Chao transformation:
Keep petting your Chao and eventually it will transform.

Hint: Chao pillow:
Go to a Chao Garden and get a coconut. Then, with a sleeping Chao, pick up the coconut and put it by the its head. The coconut will act as a pillow.
.
Hint: Chao Ball:
To win the Chao Ball for the Dark Garden, finish in first place in the second Dark Race. You will find a new Chao Ball in the Dark Garden.
 
Hint: Change Chao Ball color:
The little ball above a Chao's head can change color in two ways. The first to make the Chao evolve. The second is to give it different Chao drives. It may take some time, but it can change to green.

Hint: Chao Badge:
Your Chao gets a Badge for winning all the beginner Chao races.
.
Hint: Make Chao learn faster in school:
When you put your Chao in school and you want to make it come out soon, do about four stages, Then, go back to Chao World and you will be able to pick your Chao up. Note: If this does not work, stay in Chao World for a long time.

Hint: Omochao loses his propeller:
This trick cannot be done with Tails or Eggman because their walkers have no hands. Using any other character, pick up Omochao and throw him off a cliff. It may take a few seconds, but Omochao should reappear without a propeller on his head.
.
Hint: Omochao hurts himself:
Use the following trick to get Omochao to hurt himself in the Pyramid Cave, Death Chamber, Egg Quarters, or Sand Ocean level. Activate an Omochao and go under one of the flames. Since Omochao flies above you, he should hit the fire and take a hit. He will get mad at you afterwards.
.
Hint: VMU attributes:
To get intelligence, get a smart fruit. To get luck choose the correct treasure chest . To lose luck, choose an empty treasure chest. To get stamina, win a seed at the end of Chao Adventure 2 in the VMU. Give it to your Chao to plant the seed, and feed him a fruit from it to gain stamina.
 
Hint: Get the Gold, Silver and Black Chaos from Sonic Adventure:
Load Sonic Adventure, then go to the Chao Garden where the Chao you want in Sonic Adventure 2 is located. Put it into Chao Adventure. Load Sonic Adventure 2 and go to a Chao Garden. Go to the transporter. On the VMU with Chao Adventure, there should be an egg. It is the egg for your Chao from Sonic Adventure. When it hatches, it will be back to its first form. The only thing transferred is the name, but the Gold Chao will be gold, the Silver Chao will be silver, and the Black Chao will be black. Note: If you pet or try to influence the Chao you imported, it will lose it original colors.

Hint: Black Chao:
To make a black Chao, grab it and keep throwing it to the ground or the walls.

Hint: Black Bull Chao:
Hit your newborn Chao twice, then give it two sheep until it gets the horns. Next, pet it with a dark character until it becomes a dark Chao. Then, give it about ten Green Chaos Drives and wait for it to evolve. Keep petting it to make this go faster. If you Chao still crawls, give it two animals that walk on two legs, if it loses its horns, give it a sheep. Once it evolves, hit it three times with a hero character. Then, using a dark character, ignore it and do not feed it for thirty minutes (you must be in the Chao Garden). Then, hit it again until it starts to have a angry face and makes angry noises. It will start to charge around like a bull and chase the other Chaos around the Garden . If you want to stop you Chao from doing this, keep petting it with a hero character. If you want it to go back to bull mode, wake it up when it is asleep by picking it up.

Hint: Chao cloning:
Two memory cards are required for this trick; one with the game file, and one with 128 blocks free space. Start the game and enter Chao World, with both memory cards inserted. While in Chao World, pull out the memory card with the game file on it. You will get a message stating that the memory card is not plugged in. Press a button to continue. Pick up the Chao to be cloned and go to the Transporter to put it on the memory card with 128 blocks free. Save it, then restart the game. Put the removed card back into its controller and start the game again. Go to Chao World and you will notice that the chao You cloned seems to have gone nowhere, but remove it from the memory card on the Transporter and one identical to it will appear.
 
Hint: Unlimited Chao:
Note: A GameShark and the original Sonic Adventure are required for this trick. In Sonic Adventure, put a Chao into the GameShark. Then, go to Sonic Adventure 2 and an egg will be in the GameShark. If you take the egg out, another egg will appear. Repeat as many times as desired.
 
Hint: Good and Evil Chao races:
Get a good Chao and a bad Chao to unlock the good and evil Chao races.

Hint: Boss time attack mode:

Hint: Last stage:
Successfully complete both Hero and Dark side story modes. Enter story mode to access the "Last Stage?" option.
Hint: 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.
 
Hint: Super speed:
In two player mode, use a speed up then wait for the little blue light to disappear. Then, get the Super Shoes. The easiest way to do this is to play Shadow's Bridge level. After you fly up the first speed ramp, kill the robot guard then use your speed up. Then, go around the side where the Super Shoes are located.
.
Hint: 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.

Hint: Alternate theme song for Kart Racing:
Collect 69 emblems during the gmae. Instead of hearing the normal chime, you will hear someone whistle. A new theme song for Kart Racing has now been unlocked. The notes are the same, but instruments are different.

Hint: Drive backwards in Kart Racing:
Get a lot of speed and take a sharp turn. Release the gas and rotate the Analog-stick to turn your car around. You should now be driving backwards -- the front of the should be facing you. It only lasts a limited time and is harder to drive this way. If you hit a wall while backwards you will return to normal.

Hint: Catch up to opponent in two player race:
Wait for your opponent to get to a check point, then intentionally die. After you die, you will appear at the check point your opponent went through. This is an easy way to catch up to your opponent when you are losing.

Hint: Alternate jump:
While running, do a somersault, then jump anytime during the somersault.

Hint: Better sharp turns:
Use the following trick to make sharp turns when playing Tails or Rouge or when trying to get Emblems in the Kart Racing mini-game. When you are about to make the turn, release A for about a second and a half. Move in the direction the turn is going in, and then press A again. This should make the tires skid. If you do not turn for awhile however, this effect will wear off and you will need to do it again. This is almost required when going for Rouge and Tail's fourth mission in Kart Racing, "Do not touch the walls." Note: When you do this, you car loses a bit of its top speed. Release A and then press it again to reach your maximum speed once again.

Hint: Easy Emblems:
Start a new file on a VMU that already has Chao Garden data with all races completed. When entering the Chao Garden go to the race entrance. Select the Crab Pool Beginner Race at level 3. If you win, you will receive five emblems. Then, enter the Diamond Jewel Race at level five. If you win, you will receive five more Emblems.

Hint: Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow:
Successfully complete the Last Stage? Level in story mode to unlock Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow.
 
Hint: Dr. Robotnik: Mystic Melody:
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.
Information in this section was contributed by MonkyFun.
Hint: Eggman: Mystic Melody:
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.
 
Hint: Knuckles or Rouge: Finding goals:
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.

Hint: Knuckles or Rogue: Extra lives:
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).
 
Hint: 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.
.
Hint: Knuckles: 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. When you want to use it, press Y(4), B. This is required for most of the fifth mission emblems for Knuckles.

Hint: Knuckles: Spiral Upper:
Rotate the Analog-stick in a full circle. Once the option appears, press X or B to spin upwards, using an attack.
 
Hint: Rouge: Screw Kick:
Rotate the Analog-stick in a full circle. Once the option appears, press X or B to spin upwards, using an attack.

Hint: 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. Press Y to equip it and press B to use it. It will shut off automatically when you jump.
 
Hint: Sonic: Extra points:
When playing as Sonic, use the special punch attack after hitting and destroying an enemy to hit another and collect more points.
 
Hint: Sonic or 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.

Hint: Sonic or Shadow: Flip attack:
To do a flip attack, do a somersault (press X or B), then in the middle of it, jump (press A). When flipping in the air, press the Analog-stick in the direction you want Sonic or Shadow to flip. While in the air, you can land on top of an enemy or do a homing attack (press A in the air) to attack an enemy.

Hint: Shadow vs. Sonic finale: Extra lives:
Get 100 Rings by using Light Dashes.

Hint: Tails: Homing 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.

Hint: 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.

Hint: Tails or Eggman: 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.

Hint: 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.

Hint: Play as any hidden character in multi-player mode:
Go to the characters and press Right or Left on any character. Then, go to "Random Select" and press Left or Right. Press Start after you hear the sound. Note: You must bring out one of the character's hidden costume to do this trick.

Hint: Aquatic Mines: 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.
 
Hint: City Escape: 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.
.
Hint: City Escape: Unicorn animal for Chao:
Play the level as Sonic (the first level of the Hero story) and get the three Chao boxes. The first Chao box should have a Chao key in it. It is at the part (to the right) where you go upstairs. The second one should have four animals in it. It is located down a rail where there is a thing that boosts you down the rail and up a ramp at the end of the rail. The third Chao box should have the unicorn in it. It is at the place where you run down the top of a building and bounce. When you bounce, hold Up until you land on a bar and start swinging. While you swing, you will see a red slash of Sonic's Shoes every once in a while. Try to press A when the shoes slash. If done correctly, you will swing off onto another bar and start swinging again. Repeat and you should swing off onto a platform. On the platform is the last Chao box. Repeat to get as many Unicorns as needed. With Unicorns, your Chao will grow a horn in the middle of its forehead, a pony tail, little hooves, pony ears, and some of its body will change colors.
 
Hint: City Escape: Run on foot:
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.

Hint: City Escape: Stay on snowboard:
When playing as Sonic in City Escape, immediately when you get to the trolley, jump over the speed ramp instead of hitting it. You will still be on the snowboard.

Hint: City Escape: Extra points:
Near the end of the level, before the truck, you can get an Extreme Trick (1500 points). To do this, grind on all three rails without falling off, then 
Hint: 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.
Hint: Crazy Gadget: End of level:
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.
Hint: 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.

Hint: Final Rush: Extra lives:
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.
Hint: Hidden Base: Interesting statue:
In the Hidden Base level as Tails, go to the pulley where, at the top, there are five to six Kiki's throwing bombs at you. In that area is a headless statue of a nude woman, holding her cleavage.

Hint: Hidden Base: 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.

Hint: Iron Gate: Special Dragon Animal for your Chao:
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,
.
Hint: Iron Gate: 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.

Hint: Mad Space: 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.
 
Hint: 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.
 
Hint: 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.

Hint: 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.

Hint: Pumpkin Hill: Safe from fall:
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.

Hint: 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.

Hint: 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.
 
Use the following trick to get the Fire Ring without using the Light Dash. When you get to the row of rings in mid-air on the path to the ring, simply somersault at Super Sonic speed. Press A while holding the D-pad in the direction of the rings. You should be in mid-air. Press A again to use the Homing attack. You will hit the spring and get the ring.

Hint: Radical Highway: Got Ring? Blimp:
There is a blimp with the message "Got Ring?" in the level.

Hint: Radical Highway: Lost Chao location:
Note: You must have the Mystic Melody to find this Chao. Go to the part where there are two loops. At the end of the loops (next to the speed ramps), jump to the left ready to attack and hit the spring that is down there. You cannot see it at first, so be careful.

Hint: Security Hall: Fast completion:
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.
 
Hint: Security Hall: Cut through lasers without losing rings:
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.

Hint: Security Hall: Alternate shield color:
Play as Rouge in the Security Hall under the hard difficulty setting. The shield robots will be holding black shields instead of red ones.

Hint: 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.

Hint: Sky Rail: Find the lost Chao:
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.
 
Hint: Sky Rail: Ancient Light:
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.

Hint: White Jungle: Ancient Light:
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.

Hint: White Jungle: Fourth mission Emblem:
There are no shortcuts in this level. To get the Emblem as Shadow, keep running and do not get hurt.
 
Hint: White Jungle: Easy points:
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.

Hint: Wild Canyon: 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.

As Knuckles go to where you find the Mystic Melody. The little Dragon should be in the rear left-hand corner.
 
Hint: Wild Canyon: 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.
 
Hint: 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.

Hint: 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.

Hint: 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".
 
When fighting Egg Golem, fall down to the sand pit area and land on the platforms. Then, hang on to the rope that pulls you up. When you are up do not get off the rope. Remain there and shoot Egg Golem. When he does his head butt, quickly jump back down on the platform then repeat until he is defeated.
 
Hint: 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.

Hint: Defeating Shadow:
In the Hero storyline, during both Shadow battles you can use the same strategies. Shadow cannot defend against the bounce attack.
Information in this section was contributed by MonkyFun.
Instead of trying to catch him off-guard, keep somersaulting at him. This makes the battle easy.

Hint: Defeating Sonic:
In the Dark storyline, instead of trying to catch him off-guard, keep somersaulting at him. This makes the battle easy.

Hint: Defeating Sonic or Shadow:
This trick works for either character during the final battle. When fighting, fall behind of your opponent. When you are far enough, he will do his special attack. Quickly do the homing attack to avoid it. If you are fast enough, quickly do the homing attack at your opponent and you will hurt him. You need to do the homing attack very quickly, or he will start running again and you will not hurt him.
 
After you complete the last level on the Hero storyline , you will have to battle Shadow. The first three hits are easy. Just to get up close to him and use your Homing Attack. The last two hits are fairly difficult. If you use the Homing Attack, he will also do it. so it wont hurt him. Press the Analog-stick slightly so you are walking, not running. You will get left behind. After about two seconds, start charging up your Spin Attack with B. When they use their attack on you, release and aim for Shadow while spinning. This trick can also be used when facing Sonic as Shadow.
