secret Chao Garden

If you beat the game with Tails(this is who I beat it with I'm not sure if other characters work for this code) and go to a Chao garden you will find 2 warp points with an S.S. on it and another with a small robotnik head on it. 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.

Secret Emblems

To get secret emblems first go to Big's place where he lives, go up in the tree and in the very top there is a hole go into it and get a emblem. Next is in the burger shop go in and it is on the inside. Next is when you are Knuckles fly up into  Tail's place and face the mountain,go and fly to it and you should see a emblem on a ledge.

How to get different colored chaos

 Note: it only works on a chao that is newborn or dosen't have any animal charistics on it

To get a sonic look alike give the chao 20 blue animals (ex. moles koalas etc)

To get a alien look alike (green sonic) give the chao 20 green animals ( deer , kangaroo rabits)

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

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.

To do this trick you must get to the first level of the Launch Base Zone. Set off the first alarm, stop Sonic in the middle of it, and do a Spin-Dash attack. The
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!

Extra Rings in Debug Mode
from swalter@silo.com

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

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.

View Animations
Enter Debug Mode and press B + C. You'll be treated to a view of Sonic and Tail's moves

Bonus Rounds
from Anthony LaVorgna Jr.
To play the bonus rounds at any time, insert any game into your Sonic & Knuckles cartridge. When the "No Way" message appears, hold A + B + C and
press Start. If you do this with the original Sonic game you can play the levels in order and will be given a password to save your progress.

Note: In case you're wondering, I've left out the passwords deliberately. There are over 32,000 bonus rounds in Sonic & Knuckles. I can't possibly list them
all on the page, nor is there much point to doing so since the levels are nearly identical. Thank you.

Debug Mode when Linked to Sonic 3
from Kyle Wightman
There are two normal ways to get debug mode without a GameShark:

Method 1: Activate level select and hold A and press Start while selecting any stage.

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.
