INTRODUCTION
==============================
Hello, and welcome to my very first FAQ.
For the time that I have owned Sonic Riders, it has
always left me frustrated.
The Story mode was tough, the Grand Prix was
tough,but nothing pissed me off
like the Mission Mode. Maybe I was just a noobie
at it, but over time I
eventually passed every single mission. However,
I yearned to get 100% perfect
in the game, so I decided to get a gold medal
on every mission. I’ve seen many
people needing information to get
gold on the missions so that they can get 100% too,
so I am writing this FAQ just to tell you how to get gold…not
bronze, not silver, but GOLD!!!
==============================
OVERVIEW
==============================
This FAQ generally talks about how to get a gold on each mission.
I am not going to bother to write about bronze or silver, for if
you want to be perfect like me, you’ve gotta reach for the top! I will
post a brief description of the level, what needs to be done, then I’ll
tell you exactly how you achieve it. Sound good? Great! Let’s move on.
===============================
GENERAL TIPS
===============================
There are going to be some tricks you’re going to perform in
order to get gold on these missions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DOING TRICKS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of them is doing super jumps. To do a super jump, you
must hold down the jump button, either hold up or down,
then release the jump button before the jump while still
holding the analog stick in the direction you’ve had it in.
Sometimes, this will cause the character to fly really high
into the air to gain access to secret passages, and sometimes
in the missions, you MUST get to these secret passages in
order to get gold.
While describing the missions, I’ll simply use the terms:
Down Super, and
Up Super,
to describe which direction your analog stick
must be in while doing the super jump.
At any time while you’re in the air, before you land,
you are given the chance to perform tricks. To do tricks,
you’ll need to rotate the analog stick in either the up,
down, left, or right position. For beginners, holding the
analog stick in the up position, will get you an ‘S’ ranking
at the most. In order to get rankings like ‘X’, you’ll need
to experiment on which direction you’re doing the trick.
For example: While in the air, you might want to hold up
for 2 tricks, then rotate the analog stick to the left,
then the right. Successfully doing that will get you an
‘X’, if not, then a ‘SS’ at the most.
The point system is as follows:
X = 10 points
SS = 8 points
S = 6 points
AA = 4 points
A = 2 points
B = 1 point
C = 0 points
For the missions where you must perform tricks,
getting an ‘X’, and ‘SS’ are usually required.
That is…if you want the gold.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GRINDING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grinding is a very easy, and fun thing to do.
Whenever you come across a rail,
or a vine, with a blue light at the beginning
of it, you’ll need to jump,
then push the jump button again before you land, and away you go!
If there is another rail after the first one, simply jump,
then push the jump button again to
land on the second rail and continue grinding.
If there is a rail adjacent (beside), the first rail you’ve
been one, simply jump off the first rail, move your character
towards the second rail, and push the jump button again, before
you land to continue grinding.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SMASHING OBJECTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There will be times where you’ll have control of Knuckles,
and you’ll be required to smash objects. To do that, simply
get near a car, pillar, wall, and touch it. Knuckles will
automatically smash the object away, and it will give you air.
There will be times where getting 7 in a row is required to
finish the mission. To do this, simply get into the line
where the statues are placed, and before you smash the
first object, boost yourself, and you’ll fly all
through 7 of them in less than 3 seconds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AIR RIDE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Air Ride is asked about a lot by people. To do Air Ride,
you simply ride off the ramp that’s right behind hovering
rings. You’ll glide all the way through the rings
smoothly. Sometimes you may need to maneuver yourself
through these rings, and to do so you:
Push up to go down, and
Push down to go up
+++++++++++++++++++++
Now that I’ve gotten all that covered, let’s move on to the missions,
from the 1st to the 100th.

points before Storm appears
Difficulty: 7/10
To get gold: At least 30 points
How to: There are at least 6 places to do jumps.
At the beginning of the level, you’ll need to do
an Up Super jump to the higher platform. There
is a platform before the tunnels where you can
jump off of as well. After the tunnel, there
are half pipes you can ride on to jump off of
and perform tricks. At the end of the level,
there’s a jump where you’ll need to do a Down Super
jump, then there’ll be another jump following that one.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 6 or more pieces of junk before Storm appears
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: The pieces of junk are very easy to see so
I won’t display where every single one is. At
the beginning, you’ll need to do an Up Super
jump to get the higher part of the plaza. The
first Air Ride you’ll see, you’ll need to use
it to get more pieces of junk. When you get
to the tunnels, use the right one. When you
get to the half pipe, you’ll need to time
your jump very well to jump off the half
pipe to the right to just barely land in the
ring. Finally, at the last jump, you’ll need
to do a Down Super to get to the higher platform.
Mission 3
Description: There are many overturned cars on the track.
Reach the goal in 60 seconds to get back at Jet and his band.

before Storm appears
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: At least 22 points

After the waterfall, you’ll see a big steering wheel
thing that belongs to a ship, that you can jump off
of too. Near the end, you can do a Down Super jump
to get a lot of air, and ride the rainbow.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 6 or more pieces of junk before Storm appears
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: All 12 junk pieces
How to: The junks are easy to see again. Collect
the junk at the beginning of the level and grind
the first rail you see. At the second jump, do an
Up Super, to go to the higher platform to get more
junk. At the next rail, jump off the steering wheel
thing and grind the rail. Jump to the next rail to
get more junk. At the last jump, do a Down Super to

Mission 3
Description: Reach the goal in 60 seconds. Knock away
any obstacles in your path!
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0’48”98
How to: Boost, boost, and boost! Whenever you see
objects to be smashed (the barrels) smash them
for air, and boost some more. At the second jump,
do an Up Super to get to the higher platform to
destroy more barrels. After the waterfall, use
Knuckles’ shortcut. At the last jump, do a Down
Super to ride the rainbow to get a nice slide
down to the finish line.
Mission 4
Description: Use Air Ride to pass through 6 or
more Rings and reach the goal before Storm appears
Difficulty: 5/10

Jump off of that, and Air Ride through some more
rings. Afterwards, race to the finish.
Mission 5
Description: Do over 6 grinds to get the treasure before Storm appears
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: Grind 11 rails
How to: The rails are very straight forward.

be cautious though, if you miss one rail,
you’re almost guaranteed to miss the others.
~~~~~
Egg Factory
~~~~~
Mission 1
Description: Perform tricks to get 14 or more points
to show off your technique
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: At least 30 points
How to: There are at least 5 jumps in this level.
Do a Down Super at the first jump to get a lot of air.
There’s a platform where you can jump off of, before
you land to the lower area. Jump off of that and
perform tricks. The next jump just do a charged jump
and perform more tricks. Near where the lava waterfall
is, there’s a half pipe where you can jump off of and
perform tricks. Finally, the last jump, do a Down Super
to get lots of air.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 6 or more pieces of junk before Storm appears
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: Near the beginning of the level there is
a piece of junk to be collected. Right after you
do that, charge a jump and jump off of the platform
to hit on of the Rings in the air, to Air Ride and
gather another piece of junk. When you come to the
next jump, do an Up Super, to get to the higher platform
where there are more pieces of junk. There will be an
Air Ride ramp to fly off of soon, so use it to get more junk.
Mission 3
Description: Evade the monitoring robots and reach
the goal in 65 seconds.
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0’51”68
How to: You’ll need to get high jumps and boost
a lot in this mission. At the first jump do a
Down Super to get lots of air. Use the track
boosts to your advantage as well. At the third
jump, do an Up Super to get to the higher
platform to evade more robots. Where you
come to the half pipe, jump up and grind
on the rails to the last jump. Evade the
purple robots and quickly boost yourself to the finish.
Mission 4
Description: The surveillance robots have gone
totally out of control. Destroy 9 ore more to stop the chaos!
Difficulty: 7/10
To get gold: Smash 15 robots
How to: The robots are very hard to get so
pay attention and be cautious. At the beginning,
there’ll be a robot. After the second jump,
there’ll be a robot on the ground, and two others
scurrying around. Do an Up Super at the third
jump to get more robots. Near the lava waterfall,
use Knuckles’ shortcut to get more robots.
When you get near the last jump, DO NOT use it.
Instead run into a wall, that has a broken sign
over it, and you’ll go into a secret passage.
There’ll be robots inside there as well, so
be sure to get them. Afterwards, boost your butt to the end.
Mission 5
Description: Get the treasure that the robot has before Storm appears
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0’19”36
How to: At the beginning, do a Down Super jump
to land on the ground faster. After, use
the track boosts to your advantage and boost
whenever you see objects to be destroyed.
Be fast, and boost a lot, and do not miss the robot if you pass him.
~~~~~
Green Cave
~~~~~
Mission 1
Description: Perform tricks to get 12 or
more points and split before Storm appears.
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: At least 26 points
How to: There are 4 jumps in this mission,
so it’s a bit tricky. At the first jump, do
a Down Super to get a lot of air; you can
easily achieve an ‘X’ ranking from this. After
you ride the centipede, there’s a half pipe
that comes up which you can use. If you’re fast
enough, you can use the half pipe twice to get
points. The third jump, do a Down Super to get
a lot of air and achieve an ‘X’ rank. Finally
at the last jump, do a charged jump and perform
your last set of tricks.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 6 or more pieces of junk before Storm appears
Difficulty: 7/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: The first 3 pieces of junk are very
easy to collect. Follow the 3rd piece, and
punch through the sign to get more junk.
After, go on the right side to ride the
giant vine to collect another piece of junk.
After you ride the centipede, there are 3
more pieces of junk to collect. At the 3rd
one, quickly turn into the sign to blast
it away, and get your 10th piece of junk.
At the 3rd jump, do a Down Super to go
really high and land in the spider webs
that’ll get you more junk.
Mission 3
Description: Go as far into the forest as you
can before Storm appears and reach the goral in 65 seconds
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0’54”65
How to: Boost whenever you can. At the first
jump, do a Down Super jump to get a lot of
air and to land faster. The giant grapes
are very easy to dodge, so don’t worry about
them. When you get to the giant vines, go
in the middle to ride off an Air Ride ramp
to travel through Rings. Near where you get
to the half pipe, you may want to jump off
of it and into more Rings which you can travel
through. Finally, at the 3rd jump, do a Down
Super jump to land in the spider webs.
Mission 4
Description: There is a route where you can go
down. Do 4 more grinds so Storm’s work goes to waste.
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: Grind 8 times
How to: At the first jump, do an Up Super
jump and land on the rail that’s very high
in the air. Transfer to the other rails on
the way. When you get to the part with the
giant vines, you’ll see a “Speed” sign. Go
over there, and you’ll see a small jump which
you can jump off of and land on the rail.
Near the half pipe, there are several rails
here. You’ll need to do 2 transfers, so watch
out for the other rails.
Mission 5
Description: Use Air Ride 19 times or more to
get the treasure before Storm appears
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: Air Ride through at least 33 Rings
How to: Using Air Ride at least 33 times is
quite tricky to do at first, so it may require
a few tries to do this one. At the first
jump, do an Up Super to go really high, to
land in the Ring. Air Ride through all the
Rings very carefully, until you come to the
part after the centipede. Oh, and don’t forget
to pick up the treasure on the way too. If
you really want to use Air Ride more, there’s
more Rings to be ridden through at the half
pipe. The maximum of Rings in this level is actually 36.
~~~~~
Sand Ruins
~~~~~
Mission 1
Description: Perform tricks to get 13 or
more points to excite the crows before Storm catches up
Difficulty: 10/10
To get gold: Get 34 points
How to: This is possibly THE hardest mission
in the entire game. So don’t put yourself
down, if you can’t do it the first, or second
time. There are 5 jumps in this level,
so use them well. At the first jump do a
Down Super jump to get a lot of air, and
achieve an ‘X’. Near the part where the
pillars fall down, you can jump off of one
of them to perform tricks. Try to get a
‘AA’ here. After that, there’ll be another
jump which you can use, so charge your jump
and let go to get enough air to possibly make
a ‘SS’ at the very least. After, go to the
left side of the ruins, and grind the rail.
Then transfer yourself to the rail on the
left, and transfer yourself to the rail on
the right. To do the last transfer, jump
just before the second rail starts descending.
You’ll be on top of another platform now, so
do an Up Super jump to get transferred to
another platform. Just before you fall off of
the platform, you can execute the final jump.
You NEED to use all these jumps if you want to get
the gold.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 6 or more pieces of junk
before Storm appears
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: At the beginning, bank to the
right of the dunes to get 2 pieces of
junk. After the first jump, go on the
rail that’s to the left. Transfer to the
second rail that’s at the top. Collect
more junk until you’re in the ruins, where
you’ll have to do the 3 rail transfer I
talked about in the first mission. Collect
another piece of junk there. At the end
where you’re put on a giant bow, make sure
the bow is stretched back all the way, so
you’ll fly up and collect the final piece
of junk before you finish.
Mission 3
Description: Reach the goal in 65 seconds.
Knock away any obstacles in your path!
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0’54”08
How to: At the beginning of the level,
go straight through the middle of the
sand dunes to use Knuckles’ shortcut.
At the first jump, do a Down Super to
get lots of air, and to land faster.
Use the track boosts whenever possible.
When you see a line of statues boost
right before you hit the first one so
you can gain back the lost air. Remember
to boost a lot, and with time, you’ll get gold.
Mission 4
Description: Use Air Ride to pass through
8 or more Rings and reach the goal before Storm appears
Difficulty: 2/10
To get gold: Air Ride through 15 Rings
How to: Finally, an easy mission. After
the first jump you’ll come across a
ramp you can ride off of to start Air
Riding through Rings. The first Ring
can easily be missed so watch out.
When you’re in the ruins, go to the
right, and you’ll see a ramp there. Air
Ride through more Rings and ride your
way to the finish.
Mission 5
Description: Destroy 7 stone statues in
a row to uncover the hidden treasure before Storm appears
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: Destroy the first 7 statues you see
How to: This is a little tricky to do,
so have patience. When you get to the
first 3 statues, boost your way into them,
then quickly turn to the left to destroy
another 3 statues. Just right after you
destroy the last statue, boost again to
destroy the final two. Your time will be
around 6 seconds if you do it right.
~~~~~
Babylon Garden
~~~~~
Mission 1
Description: Perform tricks to get 12 or
more points and split before Storm appears
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: Get at least 24 points
How to: There are 4 jumps in this mission.
At the first jump, do a Down Super to
get lots of air. You’ll come across a
half pipe soon, so do a jump off of there.
When you get to the next jump, do an Up
Super to get lots of air. At the final
jump, do a Down Super to get lots of air.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 6 or more pieces of
junk before Storm appears
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: The first couple pieces of junk
are easy to come across. When you get
to the Air Ride ramp, use it to get more
junk. After the part where the jet drops
you off, there’ll be more pieces of junk
up ahead. Keep your eyes peeled for a Ring
because you’ll need to do a basic jump to
get into it. This Ring is hard to miss the
first couple times. Finally, at the last jump,
do a Down Super to get the last piece of junk.
Mission 3
Description: Avoid the obstacles and reach the goral in
75 seconds
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 1’03”18
How to: The challenge in this one isn’t
avoiding the obstacles, but getting to
the finish line fast. At the beginning
the obstacles are a joke, so swerve through
them. Jump off of the half pipe and grind
the rail when you see it. After the part
where the jet drops you off, make sure you
get the rail you see ahead. Time the jump
just right to grind the rail. Now the obstacles
are starting to mean business. Swerve through
them without getting hit and take the jump
that’s near. The last turn is the hardest turn,
so do your best there too. Do a Down Super
jump at the end to get a track boost to the
finish line.
Mission 4
Description: Smash 9 or more objects to make Storm’s
work go to waste
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: Smash 15 objects
How to: The objects are very hard to miss
when seeing them, but they’re hard to miss
when actually getting to them. Along the
track, you’ll see multiple objects that need
to be smashed. With practice you’ll get all
of them. At the last jump however, do a Down
Super jump to reach the higher platform and
you’ll get to the last object.
Mission 5
Description: Grind 6 or more times to get the
treasure before Storm appears
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: Grind 12 times
How to: All the grinds are hard to miss, but
some of them are quite tricky to transfer to.
Near the end though, you’ll come across a
rail that wraps around a building. To get to
it, you need to jump off the first rail just
before it turns then jump onto the next rail
to get the treasure. The rest is easy from there.
~~~~~
Digital Dimension
~~~~~
Mission 1
Description: Perform tricks to get 12 or
more points and split before Storm catches up
Difficulty: 7/10
To get gold: Get at least 24 points
How to: There are 4 jumps you can use
in this mission. The first jump is obvious,
so do an Up Super jump when you get there.
When you get to the heaven area, grind on
the first rail you see, but don’t grind on
the second rail. Instead, charge a jump and
jump right before the end of the platform.
Do the same thing when you get to the next
platform. Finally, and the last jump, do a
Down Super jump to get lots of air.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 6 or more pieces of junk before
Storm appears
Difficulty: 2/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: The pieces of junk are very hard
to miss, you can easily get them, even
if you didn’t try. Collect the first
piece of junk at the beginning, and do
an Up Super jump at the first jump. Collect
the junk on the way until you get past
the heaven part. Go into the middle to
smash away objects to collect the junk.
The remaining junk is after the last jump.
Mission 3
Description: Reach the goal in 75 seconds or
less, before Storm appears
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0’58”91
How to: You’re Tails in this mission so
that means you’ll have to use Air Ride.
The statues are easy to avoid at the beginning
so don’t worry. You can’t do an Up Super
at the beginning, but oh well. While you’re
on the lower level, try not to go too close
to the chasm, because you could get pulled
in by the hands. When you get into the heaven
part, swerve to the left and you’ll see a
ramp you can go off of to use Air Ride. After
the heaven switches, go all the way to the
right and use another Air Ride ramp to go
through more rings. Finally, at the last
jump, do a Down Super jump to get lotsa air.
Mission 4
Description: Traps in sub-space? Get past
these obstacles by doing 5 or more grinds
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: Grind 10 times
How to: The first rail is hard to miss.
Make the first jump to go on the first
rail and to the second. Once in the heaven
area, grind on the rails there. The rails
are a bit tricky to transfer on, but you’ll
get the hang of it eventually. When the
heaven part switches to the next part, you’ll
have to transfer rails almost immediately.
So be careful.
Mission 5
Description: Destroy 7 stone statues in
a row while in sub-space to uncover the
hidden treasure before Storm appears
Difficulty: 3/10
To get gold: Destroy the first 7 statues you see
How to: Like the other mission that was like
this, the way to get gold is still the same,
and same concept. When you see the first 3
statues, don’t boost, but boost after that,
when you come across the 4 statues that are in
a row. After, just get the last statue standing.
Easy enough.
~~~~~
SEGA CARNIVAL
~~~~~
Mission 1
Description: Perform tricks to get 16 or
more points to excite the crowd and split
before Storm catches up
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: Get at least 36 points
How to: There are 8 - 9 jumps in this mission.
Plenty to get the points you need. At the beginning
of the level, you can jump off the platform you’re
on, so do so. The next jump, do an Up Super jump
to try and get to the top level. If you don’t make
it to the top, there’s a half pipe at the bottom
level which you can perform a trick on. Once you’re
in the Monkey Ball part of the stage, there are
several platforms here. At the end of each one,
you can perform a jump and do tricks. If you fall
off the platforms, there’s a half pipe underneath
for you to perform tricks on as well. On the
final jump, just do a regular charged jump and
get tricks by doing that.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 6 or more pieces of junk before
Storm gets one
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: At the beginning, do a Down Super jump to get
the first piece of junk, then get all the others on
the way. When you get to the lower part of the ship,
get to the half pipe, and jump off of it to get into
the Ring. Right after the NiGHTS section, jump off
the platform you’re on and go into the Ring that’s
there. Afterwards, the pieces of junk are easy to find.
Mission 3
Description: Reach the goal in 70 seconds so
Storm’s work goes to waste
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0’56”46
How to: Again, it’s not about avoiding the
obstacles, but getting the finish fast. At
the beginning, jump off the platform to get
on the rail, and go to the second. After the
rails, do an Up Super jump to try and get to
the upper part of the ship. When you have reached
the Monkey Ball section, try to jump from
platform to platform instead of falling off.
Then at the last jump, do a Down Super jump
to get to the higher platform. If you have done
all this, then you are quite guaranteed a
gold or a silver at the very least.
Mission 4
Description: Smash 9 or more objects to reduce Storm’s morale
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: Smash 15 objects
How to: Smashing the objects is easy to do,
it’s getting it done quickly which is hard.
Follow the usual route and smash the barrels
on the way. Remember to boost whenever
possible. When you get to the Monkey Ball
section, stay on all of the platforms ‘till
you get to the last one, because there’s a
barrel there. And no, smashing the bowling
pins don’t count.
Mission 5
Description: Use Air Ride 28 or more times to
get the treasure before Storm appears
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: Use Air Ride 35 times
How to: At the beginning, use a Down Super
jump to get to the first Ring. From there,
it’s easy sailing…or so you’d like to think.
Maneuvering through the Rings is quite tricky
to do. I’ve failed the first 5 times on this,
so it takes a bit of practice to do.

Night Chase
~~~~~
Mission 1
Description: Perform tricks to get 14 or more points before Wave
catches up.
Difficulty: 7/10
To get gold: Get at least 24 points
How to: Yay for Cream! I personally like using her in races, so this
makes me happy. Anyways, there are 5 jumps in this level. At the first
jump do a regular charged jump and do tricks. Take the left tunnel
when you get to the tunnels to avoid the cars. Once you get to the
half pipe, do tricks off of that. Just like Metal City, at the last
jump, do a Down Super to get really high, and follow up with the
last jump afterwards.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 8 or more pieces of junk before Wave appears
Difficulty: 7/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: At the first jump, do an Up Super to get to the higher platform
Stay to the left to get more junk. Once you get to the next track
boost, stay as far to the left as possible. Use the right tunnel
once you get there. Get the next piece of junk that's in the middle
of the road then quickly get to the half pipe, so you can jump off of
it to Air Ride in the Rings. Finally more junk pieces on the way,
look out for the bombs, and at the last jump do a Down Super to get
to the higher platform and get the another piece of junk. At the final
jump, do another Down Super jump to get the last piece of junk.
Mission 3

and reach the goal within 60 seconds.
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'47"50
How to: At the first jump, do an Up Super jump to get to the higher
platform. Carefully weave through the cars and go through the right
tunnel. You'll soon see an open truck with a little platform. Quickly
charge a jump and jump off of the slanted platform to fly in the air
and to quickly start grinding on a rail there. The cars are easy to
avoid to the end. Again, do a Down Super jump at the last one.
Mission 4
Description: Knock away 9 or more police cars to force Wave to change
her plan.
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: Smash at least 15 cars
How to: When you do the first jump bnk to the right to hit some police
cars. While you're on the road, hit all the moving police cars you
can see. Go through the right tunnel when you get there and use
Knuckles' shortcut. The rest of the police cars are easy to see until
the end.
Mission 5
Description: Be clever with your gear! Try to keep your speed over 140
as you head toward to goal!
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'47"88
How to: The track boosts on this level helps a whole lot, so use them
whenever you see them. Try to avoid the bombs as well. All there is to
this mission is to, do an Up Super jump at the first jump, use the
right tunnel when you get there, and do a Down Super jump once you get
to the last jump.
~~~~~
Red Canyon
~~~~~
Mission 1
Description: Perform tricks to get 12 or more points to excite the
crowd before Wave cathes up
Difficulty: 8/10
To get gold: Get at least 18 points
How to: There are only 3 jumps in this mission, which sucks a whole
lot. So you need to do super good on the three jumps if you want a
gold. At the first jump, do a regular charged jump and do tricks. When
you get to the giant steering wheel thing, jump off of that and get
points. At the last jump, do a regular charged jump again and get
points. As long as you get 2 'SS's, you'll be in the green.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 8 or more pieces of junk before Wave appears
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: The pieces of junk are very clear to see, so grab them on your
way through the course. After the first jump, grind the rail to get
2 more pieces of junk. After the waterfall, grind the rail to get more
pieces of junk. Finally, at the last jump, do a Down Super jump to get
to the higher platform to get another piece of junk. When you go
through the waterfall, stay to your right to your right so you can
slide down the water to get to the last piece of junk easily.
Mission 3
Description: Reach the goal in 65 seconds. Knock away any obstacles
in your path!
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'56"53
How to: Smash all the objects you can in this missin and boost whenever
you do. Do an Up Super jump at the first jump to get to the higher
platform. After the waterfall, use Knuckles' shortcut as well. At the
last jump, do a Down Super to get to the higher platform, and stay
to the right to slide down the water. Remember to watch your air!
Mission 4
Description: Use Air Ride to pass thorugh 8 or more Rings and reach the
goal
Difficulty: 3/10
To get gold: Air Ride 15 times
How to: This mission has a lot of smooth sailing through here. The only
challenge is to jump off of the steering wheel at the right time to
land in one of the Rings. Don't forget that there's an Air Ride ramp
near the beginning of the platform.
Mission 5
Description: Reach the goal with over half of your Air left
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: Have at least 180 Air when you cross the finish line
How to: This is the first mission like this, so it's going to be tough
at first. With Tails, get the Air capsule at the beginning of the
level. Try not to air slide around this corner. Do a charged jump at
the first jump and get a lot of Air. Ride off of the Air Ride ramp to
fly through more Rings to get more Air. Avoid the bombs at all costs.
Once you get to the waterfall, rotate the control stick AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE! After that, jump off of the steering wheel, and Air Ride
through the Rings. Use Tails' shortcut to ride off another ramp to
sail through Rings. At the last jump do a charged jump and get more
Air. Stay at your right to slide down the water. Remember, on this
mission and more like it ahead, DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT BOOST!!!

Mission 1
Description: Perform tricks to get 18 or more points to show off your
techniques
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: Get at least 30 points
How to: There are 6 jumps in this mission. At the first jump, do a Down
Super jump to get lots of air. You'll land on a platform which you can
jump off of at the end of it. At the next jump, do a charged jump to
get some air as well. You'll soon see a half pipe ahead of you. Use
that half pipe, to jump off of and ride into the Rings ahead. Soon
enough, you'll come across yet another half pipe. Do tricks off of
that. At the last jump, do an Up Super jump to get lots of air. This
shouldn't be too difficult, once you get the hang of it.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 8 or more pieces of junk before Wave appears
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: At the first jump do a Down Super jump to get that floating
piece of junk that's way up there. I reccomend to jump over the first
track boost to easily get the piece of junk that's around the corner.
After the next jump, use the half pipe to use Tails' shortcut to get
more junk. Collect more junk on the way until you get to another half
pipe. Use Tails' shorcut again to get more junk. There's more junk
on the way to the finish, so gather those.
Mission 3
Description: Evade the monitoring robots and reach the goal in 75
seconds
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 1'02"36
How to: Try not to get hit by the robots. That's the obvious part. Now
at the beginning, do a Down Super jump to get lots of air, and stay
to the left. Jump off of the platform and grind the rail to the next
jump. At the next jump do another Down Super jump to get to the higher
platform. Conserve your boosts! When you get to the half pipe part
again, stay to the right, so you can jump off of a pipe and land on
another railing. At the last jump, do an Up Super jump to get lotsa
air. NOW boost to the finish.
Mission 4
Description: The surveillance robots have fone totally our of control.
Destroy 9 or more to stop the chaos!
Difficulty: 7/10
To get gold: Destroy 15 robots
How to: Try not to worry about how long you take, just carefully take
out every single robot you see. Use Knuckles' shortcut near the giant
fan, and take out more robots. When you get to the next turning point
sharp turn IMMEDIATELY to gain access to Knuckles' seconds shortcut.
Finally, take out the remaning robots and reach the goal.
Mission 5
Description: A bunch of Rings have just appeared. Collect 50 or more
Rings, then reach the goal
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: Collect at least 70 Rings
How to: This is your first mission like this, but don't worry, there
are PLENTY of Rings to collect in this mission. It may take a few
tries to get gold, but you'll eventually get it. The only suggestions
I can give is, take ALL the track boosts you can, whenever you see a
line of Rings, STAY ON THAT LINE, and at the third jump, do a Down
Super jump to get to the higher platform.
~~~~~
White Cave
~~~~~
Mission 1
Description: Perform tricks to get 14 or more points and split before
WAve appears
Difficulty: 3/10

Super jump.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 8 or more pieces of junk before Wave appears
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk

through the sign when you see it, to go through it and get more junk.
You'll get the last pieces of junk near the end.
Mission 3
Description: Go as far into the forest as you can before Wave appears
and reach the goal in 60 seconds
Difficulty: 3/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'48"18
How to: The obstacles and bombs are rediculously easy to avoid, so
don't even worry about them. Do an Up Super jump at the first jump,
and use the track boosts whenever possible. Use Tails' shortcuts as
well. You may boost yourself, whenever you get the chance. When you
get to the second to last jump, do a Down Super to land in the spider
webs and launch yourself to the finish line.
Mission 4
Description: There is a route where you can go down. Do 4 or more
grinds so Wave's work goes to waste
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: Grind 8 times
How to: At the beginning of the level, do an Up Super jump to get
really high, so you may land on the first rail. Transfering from rail
to rail may be tricky at first, but you'll get the hang of it. After
the centipede drops you off, find another rail that needs to be
ridden. Be careful, for the next rail is tricky to transfer to.
Afterwards, get yourself to the finish.
Mission 5
Description: Fight with Wave! Hit her with 1 or more attacks and reach
the goal before she does
Difficuly: 5/10
To get gold: Hit Wave at least 3 times
How to: This mission is a little different from the others, but be
aware of one thing...THE AI IS VERY, VERY, STUPID! Don't let the
computer intimidate you. You can EASILY win the race, even if you
didn't try. On the other hand, you must hit Wave 3 times. First, let
Wave get a head start, then follow behind her. Boost up to her to
attack her once. Purposely slow down, so she can get ahead of you
so you can boost up to her and attack her once more. Do this one more
time, and get to the finish line.

Mission 1
Description: Perform tricks to get 14 or more points to excite the
crowd before Wave catches up
Difficulty: 9/10
To get gold: Get at least 28 points
How to: There are 7 jumps in this mission and you must use them ALL!
At the first jump, you can do any charged jump you want, you'll get
lots of air, either way. On the way down, you'll come across three
platforms which you land on. You can jump off of these platforms
and perform tricks. When you get into the ruins, do not use Air Ride,
instead, use the jumps that are there and perform tricks off of them.
This is a very difficult mission, even if you try really hard, you
still may end up with a silver medal at the end, but keep trying and
you'll eventually get the gold.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 8 or more pieces of junk before Wave appears
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: At the first jump, do an Up Super to get the first pieces of
junk. The next pieces of junk as you can see, are suspended in the air
meaning that you must jump off of the next few platforms to get to
them. Try and avoid the bombs too. Once in the ruins, stay in the
middle, and grind the rail to get another piece of junk. After you're
teleported out, grind the last two rails to get more junk. The last
few pieces are quite easy to spot.
Mission 3
Description: Reach the goal in 70 seconds. Knock away any obstacles in
your path!
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'56"88
How to: Do an Up Super jump at the beginning to get lots of air. Smash
any objects that you see and boost when you do. once in the ruins

Description: Use Air Ride to pass through 7 or more Rings and reach the
goal before Wave appears
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: Air Ride 15 times
How to: After the first jump, jump off of the platform and land in a
Ring to start Air Riding. You may have to maneuver yourself carefully
through here. After, get in the ruins and take the path to the right.
There, you'll see an Air Ride ramp to ride off of. Take it and sail
through the ruins. After you've been teleported, you'll see another
ramp. Ride off of that, and get yourself thorugh the last set of
Rings.
Mission 5
Description: A bunch of Rings have just appeared. Collect 50 or more
Rings, then reach the goal
Difficulty: 3/10
To get gold: Get at least 70 Rings
How to: The Rings are hard to miss. Like I've mentioned before in this

on.

Sky Road
~~~~~
Mission 1
Description: Perform tricks to get 16 or more points and split before
Wave appears
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: Get at least 30 points
How to: There are 5 - 6 jumps in this mission. At the first jump, do a
Down Super jump to get lots of air and perform tricks. At the next
jump, do not be intimidated by the bombs, instead do an Up Super jump
and do more tricks. Quickly turn around the corner, and charge your
jump. Go off the platform, and get more points. Once you turn the
next corner, you'll see a ramp that lead's to Cream's shortcut. DO NOT
take this ramp! Instead, go around it, and take the next ramp that's
up ahead. At the last jump, do a Down Super jump and collect more
points.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 8 or more pieces of junk before Wave appears
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: The pieces of junk are easy to see, yet again, so don't get
worried about not being able to see them. One cautious note though,
is to avoid the bombs at all costs. Getting hit by one of them could
possibly slow you down so much, that even if you get all the pieces
of junk, you wont be able to make it to the finish line in time. When
you get to Tails' shortcut, jump off the ramp and fly through the
Rings. At the final jump, so a Down Super jump to get the final piece
of junk.
Mission 3
Description: Avoid the obstacles and reach the goal in 65 seconds
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'51"56
How to: Avoiding the obstacles are easy. What you need to worry about
is getting to the goal in time. At the beginning, stay to your right
and as you go off the jump, you'll see a rail. Land on it, and it'll
make the trip easier. Try to do an Up Super jump at the next jump too.
When you get to Sonic's next rail, use it, and ride to the last jump
where you'll do a Down Super jump to make life easier.
Mission 4
Description: Smash 9 or more objects to make Wave's work go to waste
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: Smash 15 objects

Easily swerve yourself through the bombs and smash the objects. There
is no great strategy to this other than avoiding the bombs.
Mission 5
Description: Be clever with your gear! Try to keep your speed over 140
as you head toward the goal!
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'52"80
How to: In this mission, it is crucial that you use all the track
boosts there are. Smash any objects that you see, and boost at the
same time when you see them. Be sure to do a Down Super jump at the
first jump, an Up Super jump at the second, and finally a Down Super
jump at the last jump, in order to maintain your speed over 140.

Mission 1
Description: Perform tricks to get 12 or more points and split before
Wave appears
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: Get 20 points
How to: In this mission, there are only 2 jumps. Which means you MUST
achieve an 'X' ranking off of both jumps. Do not worry about the
objects that are in your way, you can avoid them easily. At the first
jump, do an Up Super jump and get an 'X'. At the last jump, do a Down
Super jump and achieve an 'X'. Watch out for the bombs at the last
jump though.
Mission 2
Desctiption: Collect 8 or more pieces of junk
Difficulty: 3/10

How to: The pieces of junk are made to look so obvious that it's
funny. Collect the pieces of junk on the track and be careful of the
bombs. Just like before, do an Up Super jump at the first jump to get
a piece of junk, and a Down Super jump at the last jump to get
another.
Mission 3
Description: Go as far as you can before Wave appears and reach the
goal in 45 seconds
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'36"81
How to: This mission is quite different, for you have to attack the
Babylon Guardian once before you can even cross the finish line. On
top of that, there are statues and bombs to avoid as well. This can be
made easy if you follow the following. Get a good start and the
beginning and boost once. Swerve through the statues DO NOT go around
them. After you pass some more statues, boost once more and hit the
Guardian. Afterwards, sharply turn around the corner and do an Up
Super jump to get to Rings in the air. Finally, get yourself to the
final jump and do a Down Super jump to get lots of air, and boost
yourself to the finish.
Mission 4
Description: Traps in sub-space? Get past these obstacles by doing 5
or more grinds
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: Grind 10 times

be hard to transfer to. At the final jump, do a Down Super jump to get
on the last rail.
Mission 5
Description: Reach the goal with over half of your Air left
Difficutly: 5/10
To get gold: Have at least 180 Air when you reach the goal

bombs at all costs, and grab more air capsules. At the final jump do
a Down Super jump to get lots of air. Remember, DO NOT BOOST!!!

Wave appears
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: Get at least 26 points
How to: There are 4 jumps in this mission. The first jump is off the
platform you start on, so do a jump off of that. At the next jump do
a charged jump to get lots of air. Once you get to the Space Channel 5
area, there will be a half pipe. You can perform tricks twice on these
pipes so do so. At the final jump do an Up Super jump to get lots of
air and earn points.
Mission 2
Description: Collect 8 or more pieces of junk before Wave gets one
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: At the beginning, jump off of the platform to Air Ride through
some Rings. Collect more junk on the way and watch out for the bombs.
At the next jump do a Down Super jump to get more junk. Collect more
junk on the way until you reach the Space Channel 5 area. Use the half
pipe here to Air Ride through more Rings. At the last jump, do an Up
Super jump to get another piece of junk. As you enter the Chu Chu
Rocket area, get on the RED arrow and it will guide you to 2 more
pieces of junk.
Mission 3
Description: Reach the goal in 75 seconds so Wave's work goes to waste
Difficulty: 7/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'57"73
How to: At the first jump, do a charged jump off of it. Boost yourself
to the track boosts, then after, boost some more. Get to the rail and
grind it. After you get off the rail, do a Down Super jump to get to
the higher platform. Boost your way to Space Channel 5, and get to the
rail there, and grind it. Be careful not to fall in to the hole. At
the final jump, do an Up Super jump to get lots of air. Weave around
the bombs to get on a GREEN arrow. Finally boost your way to the
finish line.
Mission 4
Description: Smash 9 or more objects to reduce Wave's morale
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: Smash 15 objects
How to: The objects are easy to see, as they're big flying red things.
Smash all the ones you can see. At the second jump do a Down Super
jump to get to the higher platform. Smash more objects on the way
until you get to Space Channel 5. There, take the right most route
and smash more objects. Once you get to the Chu Chu Rocket area, take
the RED arrow, and smash down the last object.
Mission 5
Description: Fight with Wave! Hit her with 1 or more attacks and reach
the goal before she does
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: Hit Wave at least 3 times
How to: Remember, the AI is as stupid as a piece of toast. As said
before, let Wave get a head start, and boost up to her to attack her.
Purposely slow down, and let Wave get ahead, boost, and attakc her
once more. Do this one more time and get to the finish. The problem
in this mission is that the computer tends to boost around corners
so be sure to hit Wave before she gets a chance to do that.
==============================
Jet's Missions
==============================
~~~~~
EXTRA 1
~~~~~
Mission 1
Description: Jet is following you! Maintain a speed of at least 140
to break away from him
Location: Metal City
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'49"80
How to: Jet made me laugh a lot in this level. As long as you maintain
a speed of at least 140, he will NEVER catch up to you. Use all the
track boosts in this level, and boost yourself whenever possible.
Also, at the first jump do an Up Super jump to get to the higher
platform. Jump off of other platforms as well, but NOT the half pipe.
When you get to the last jump, do a Down Super jump to get really high
and use the track boosts there to do another jump off of the final
jump.
Mission 2
Description: Reach the goal with over half of your Air left
Location: Splash Canyon
Difficulty: 7/10
To get gold: Have at least 180 Air when you reach the goal
How to: This mission has a lot of bombs and obsticles in the way so
be weary of them. You need to use all the jumps in this mission to
gain air, so do so. At the second jump, just use a regular charged
jump and gain air. At the waterfall, rotate your analog stick like
crazy! After that, do not jump off of the steering wheel. Instead,
use Tails' shortcut. At the last jump, do a Down Super jump to get
really high.
Mission 3
Description: A bunch of Rings have just appeared. Collect 50 or more
Rings, then reach the goal
Location: Egg Factory
Difficulty: 3/10
To get gold: Get at least 70 Rings
How to: Jet's in this mission again, but only to distract you. Don't
bother about Jet. I crossed the finish line without boosting once with
Jet WAY behind me. As said before, use the track boosts to get on a
line of Rings and stay on that line. Find more lines of Rings lying
around as well.
Mission 4
Description: Fight with Jet! Hit him with 1 or more attacks and reach
the goal before he does
Location: Green Cave
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: Hit Jet at least 3 times
How to: This is just like Wave's missions. Give Jet a head start, tail
him, and boost up to him and hit him. Purposely slow down and wait
for him to get ahead, boost again and hit him once more. Repeat this
one more time, and get to the finish.
Mission 5
Description: Fight with Jet! Collect the scattered junk and reach the
goal before he does
Location: SEGA CARNIVAL
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: Collecting the pieces of junk is easy. However, there is one
drawback. If you're not fast enough, Jet will come along, and will
take the junk for himself. At the first jump, do an Up Super jump to
get the first piece of junk. Get the rest of the junk on the way
until you get to the Monkey Ball section. Stay on the platforms, and
jump off of them to grab the junk in the air. Finally, grab the rest
pieces of junk on the way and get to the finish.
~~~~~
EXTRA 2
~~~~~
Mission 1
Description: A bunch of Rings have just appeared. Collect 50 or more
Rings, then reach the goal
Location: Sand Ruins
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: Get at least 70 Rings
How to: Just like all the other missions that were like this one, find
a line of Rings, and stay on it. Use the track boosts when neccessary,
and stay on the line of Rings it gives you. Jet is just another
distraction in this mission so ignore him.
Mission 2
Description: Jet is following you! Maintain a speed of at least 140 to
break away from him
Location: Babylong Garden
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 1'00"06
How to: Yet again, Jet is just another distraction, so ignore him.
Use the track boosts as much as possible and boost before a jump, or
when you're about to smash some objects. There are a lot of places
where you can easily screw up, so watch out. Do a Down Super jump at
the first jump, and do an Up Super jump at the next one you see.
Finally, at the last jump, do a Down Super jump to get really high,
and boost yourself to the finish.
Mission 3
Description: Reach the goal with over half of your Air left
Location: Digital Dimension
Difficulty: 8/10
To get gold: Have at least 180 Air when you reach the goal
How to: There are A LOT of bombs and obstacles in here so WATCH OUT.
At the beginning try not to do an Air slide. If you want to quickly
move to the right of left, just lightly tap the L1 or R1 buttons.
At the first jump, do an Up Super jump to get to the higher platform
and an air capsule. Keep avoiding the bombs until you get to the
transfering point of hell and heaven. There, rotate your analog stick
as fast as possible! When you reach the heaven part, grind on all the
rails for more air. At the end, grind on the last rail, and do a Down
Super jump at the last jump, to get lots of air.
Mission 4
Description: Fight with Jet! Hit him with 1 one or more attacks and
reach the goal before he does
Location: SEGA CARNIVAL
Difficulty: 6/10
To get gold: Hit Jet at least 3 times
How to: Like all the other missions like this, allow Jet to have a
head start, tail him, boost up to him, and attack him. Afterwards,
purposely slow down, wait for him to pass and hit him one more time.
Do this once more, and get to the finish.
Mission 5
Description: A match with Jet to prove who is the fastest! Prove that
you are by reaching the goal before Jet!
Location: Sand Ruins
Difficulty: 7/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'56"38
How to: Jet is actually a little smarter in this mission but not that
much smarter. Use all the track boosts to your advantage, and boost
yourself, whenever possible. At the start, do not take the left side
of the track. At the first jump, do a Down Super jump to get lots of
air. Keep boosting, until you get to the ruins. Do the 3 rail transfer
inside that I've mentioned before. After you land on the platform,
do an Up Super jump to land on another platform. Get yourself to the
finish from there by boosting.

Mission 1
Description: Catch up to a police car and take the treasure befor Jet
appears
Location: Night Chase
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'14"26
How to: The police car is really easy to catch up to. At the first jump
do an Up Super jump to land on the higher platform. Keep to the right
and use the track boosts there. Then boost yourself and chase after
the car. After you get yourself on the road, boost one more time
then you'll get the car.
Mission 2
Description: Grind 8 or more times to get the treasure before Jet
appears
Location: Red Canyon
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: Grind 14 times
How to: At the first jump, do an Up Super jump to get to the first
rail. Keep transfering rails from then on all the way until the end
of the course.
Mission 3
Description: Catch up to a robot before Jet appears to grab the
treasure
Location: Ice Factory
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'34"25
How to: At the first jump do a Down Super jump. Use the track boosts
as much as possible, and boost yourself too. Whenever you come across
objects to be destroyed, boost before you destroy them. Do not bump
into anything, else the robot will get enough speed to get away
and you'll lose your chance at getting gold. Oh, and try now to run
out of air either.
Mission 4
Description: Use Air Ride 30 or more times to get the treasure
before Jet appears
Location: White Cave
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: Air ride 38 times
How to: At the first jump, do an Up Super jump to fly to the first
Ring. Now the difficult part, is to stay in these Rings, until you
reach the end of the course. Maneuver yourself carefully, and don't
forget to pick up the treasure on the way.
Mission 5
Description: Fight with Jet! Collect scattered junk and reach the goal
before Jet does
Location: Night Chase
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: All 12 pieces of junk
How to: Get a good head start to grab the first piece of junk or else
Jet is going to grab it. After the first jump, stay to your right to
get more pieces of junk. On the road, try to evade the cars, and get
more pieces of junk. Take the right tunnel when you get there. After,
grab more pieces of junk on the way and watch out for the bombs. Do
not worry about Jet, because after the first junk piece, he'll fall
WAY behind.

Mission 1
Description: Destroy 7 stone statues in a row to uncover the hidden
treasure before Jet appears
Location: Dark Desert
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: Smash the first 7 stone statues you see
How to: At the first jump, do an Up Super to get some speed when you
hit the ground. Get all the way to the entrance of the ruins. There
you will see some statues. When you get to the first 3 statues, boost,
and start hitting all the other statues as well.
Mission 2
Description: Grind 8 or more times to get the treasure before Jet
appears
Location: Sky Road
Difficulty: 5/10
To get gold: Grind 14 times
How to: At the beginning, stay to your right. Go off of the jump, and
land on the rail underneath. Keep yourself on the rails until you get
to the last one. You'll get the treasure on the way, so don't worry
about it.
Mission 3
Description: Destroy 7 stone statues in a row while in sub-space to
uncover the hidden treasure before Jet appears
Location: Babylon Guardian
Difficulty: 4/10
To get gold: Smash the first 7 stone statues you see
How to: When you get to the first 3 statues, first hit the first 2,
then boost just as soon as you hit the third one. Afterwards,
continue hitting the next 3 until you get to that last one. Again,
boost just at the last one, and go for the last statue. Because you'll
need to maneuver very carefully, this may take a few tries to do.
Mission 4
Description: Use Air Ride 26 or more times to get the treasure before
Jet appears
Location: SEGA ILLUSION
Difficulty: 3/10
To get gold: Use Air Ride at least 33 times
How to: At the beginning, jump off of the platform and into the Ring
to start Air Riding. It will be smooth sailing from here; you
practically don't have to move Tails while he's flying. On the way
you may notice a Ring that's underneath another one. Don't try and
get it, as it's there to distract you. Anyways, Air Ride all the way
to the end.
Mission 5
Description: The final battle with Storm, Wave, and Jet! Prove you're
the best by reaching the goal before them
Location: Sky Road
To get gold: I achieved a time of 0'53"01
How to: Storm, Wave, and Jet are just there to intimidate you. Ignore
them completley and do your own thing. At the first jump, do a Down
Super jump to get lots of air. Watch out for the bombs on the way. At
the second jump, do an up Super jump to get lots of Air there too.
You can ignore the next jump, and boost your way to the next one. At
the next jump, do an Up Super jump to get an air capsule, and more
air. Finally, at the last jump, do a Down Super jump, to get to the
higher platform, and boost your way to the finish!
If you have collected all the gold medals, then I congratulate you!!!
It has been long, but you've done a great job. Pat yourself on the
back, and go buy that Chaos Emerald gear! Super Sonic awaits you!
