---------------4. LOCATIONS---------------Here are descriptions of how to get each item in the game. I'll try to makethem as descriptive as possible so I dont get as many emails asking. If adescription isn't descriptive enough, email me at <[email protected]>.Then I'll have a chance to do my best and make the description easier tounderstand and so on.

**UPGRADES IN LEVEL ORDER**

A. Sonic--------

Item: Magic GlovesLocation: City EscapeRequirements: Bounce Bracelet, Flame Ring

What It Does: Allows you to pick up enemies and throw them. Press B when thetop right corner says "Magic Gloves" to pick up the enemy, thenpress B again to throw.



Difficulty: Fairly Easy

How To Get: First of all, make sure you have the Bounce Bracelet AND theFlame Ring before you attempt to get this upgrade. Run throughthe level as you would in a normal run until you come to a partwith 2 enemies shooting at you. Near them should be a staircasegoing down with a rail and an arch over it. Right before you go

down that staircase, there should be 4 metal boxes imbedded inthe ground. Do a bounce attack and located down in the groundshould be the Magic Gloves and a spring. Grab the Magic Glovesand of course, use the spring to get out.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Light ShoesLocation: Metal HarborRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: Allows you to use the EXTREMELY useful Light Dash. The Light

Dash (also seen in Sonic Adventure) allows you to dash through

a line of rings to get over and avoid obstacles under. This isusually used to access shortcuts and occasionally used tocontinue on the normal path.

Difficulty: Extremely Easy - REQUIRED to finish level

How To Get: Continue through the level as normal until you come to a LONGstring of rings and no other way across the water. Stop and gointo the structure to see one of those things you grab and itraises you. I don't know what they are called. Anyways, at thetop is a platform with the Light Shoes upgrade. Go down to theline of ring to test out your upgrade and continue on your way!

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Ancient LightLocation: Green ForestRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: Allows you to use the Light Attack. The Light Attack allows

you to attack enemies in a quick row.Difficulty: Medium

How To Get: Right before the second checkpoint, there should be 2 boostersthat lead outside the enclosement. This should be a shortdistance after the open loop. Right before you leave, facethe camera and you should see an enemy floating. Do a homingattack on the enemy, then do another homing attack on to theledge across. The reason this is sort of tough is the horriblecamera angle. Anyways, the ledge across should have a free lifeand the Ancient Light powerup.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Bounce BraceletLocation: Pyramid CaveRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: Allows you to do the bounce attack and also allows you to bounce

off the ground and gain momentum to get to high ledges. Thebounce attack is another REQUIRED upgrade to complete the level.


How To Get: In my opinion, the easiest powerup on the game. Its located



DIRECTLY on the path. Just proceed through the level and you mostlikely will spot it easily.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Flame RingLocation: Crazy Gadget

Requirements: NoneWhat It Does: Allows you to break metal boxes allowing you to find more hidden

animals and coin boxes. This is a very useful upgrade.Difficulty: Easy-Medium - REQUIRED to finish level

How To Get: Right after the second warp pipe type thing and what I believe isthe third checkpoint, jump down the large step. You should beupside down when you are done with the warp pipe. Anyways, usethe gravity switch straight in front of you to turn right sideup. Go backwards a little bit and hit one of the two springs inthe back of the room. The flame ring should be located behindsome wooden boxes.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Mystic MelodyLocation: Final RushRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: Allows you to play a melody in front of certain ancient shrines

that unveils new paths that usually lead to the lost Chao.These also allow shortcuts occasionally.

Difficulty: Medium-Hard - REQUIRED to get 3rd level emblems

How To Get: The hardest upgrade to get for Sonic is the Mystic Melody. Thisis hard to explain, but I'll do the best I can. After the fifth

checkpoint you should come to a large room with many splittingpaths. After you take the long vertical grind, grind down thethe next platform where it splits. Grind the left rail on thisand you should get enough distance at the end to make it on theplatform with the rocket. If you take the left path, watch asyou go down for a platform at the left. Jump on it if you canand it'll lead you to the platform with the rocket. After a fewtries, you should get it down easily. Take the rocket to a freeguy, then continue along the path and eventually you will cometo the Mystic Melody upgrade. Play the Mystic Melody at theshrine and take the warp to continue on with the level.

_______________________________________________________________________________

B. Tails--------

Item: Laser BlasterLocation: Prison LaneRequirements: BazookaWhat It Does: Increases the amount of space and firing radius Tails has. You

can lock on to enemies with double the radius now. This isanother useful item when you are attempting for A ranks on thelevels.

Difficulty: Easy-Medium

How To Get: If you've been looking for this and not finding it, it's actuallya pretty obvious upgrade. In the final room, make sure you do



NOT touch the goal ring and look near the back of the room. Youshould see a metal door with boxes behind it. Shoot all theenemies in the room and the door should open. If it doesnt, makesure you have all the enemies near the ceiling. Jumping aroundwhile locking usually works. Once the door opens, proceed downthe hall and shoot the 2 guards to open the final gate betweenyou and the Bazooka.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: BoosterLocation: Mission StreetRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: One of Tails most useful upgrades, this allows you to hover over

open spaces to make those long, tough jumps. This is requiredto finish Mission Street and is also required to finish many ofthe other missions with Tails in the game.

Difficulty: Easy - REQUIRED to finish level

How To Get: Proceed through Mission Street until you come to a large gap inthe road you can't jump with a line of rings going across. Turnaround, and you should see the powerup behind you. Be carefulwhen getting it as the road will collapse, requiring you to flyafter you pick it up. Fly over the large gap to continue on withthe level.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Mystic MelodyLocation: Hidden BaseRequirements: BazookaWhat It Does: Allows you to play a melody in front of certain ancient shrines


Difficulty: Easy - REQUIRED to get 3rd level emblems

How To Get: Walkthrough the level as you would normally until you come up toa very large "lower portion" of the level. This is right afteryou rise up by a crane type thing and shoot all the bomb throwingmonkeys. From a distance, a graphic error makes it look as if anopen passage is on the bottom. As you get closer you'll notice 4metal boxes blocking the opening. Shoot these 4 boxes and jumpthe easy set of gaps to pick up the Mystic Melody. Once you grabit, play it at the shrine and use the crane to raise yourselfon the path and to continue the level.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: BazookaLocation: Eternal EngineRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: Allows you to break metal boxes. This is another extremely

useful upgrade for Tails. Breaking metal boxes allows you tofind new paths, shortcuts, and even some animals to raise yourChao with.

Difficulty: Easy-Medium - REQUIRED to finish level

How To Get: Continue through the level as normal until you come to a longbridge with a switch at the other end. Under the switch shouldbe a locked door and a floating platform between you and the



door. There are 2 ways to make it into the locked door thatcontains the Bazooka upgrade. First, you can walk across thebridge and hit the switch being careful not to blow up the pathin front of you. If you accidently blow it up, you'll need tofall down to the large platform below. Near the back of thisplatform should be the switch. Hop onto the platform nearby toascend back up to the now unlocked door to see an upgrade

surrounded by a ring of rings.

_______________________________________________________________________________

C. Knuckles-----------

Item: Mystic MelodyLocation: Wild CanyonRequirements: Shovel ClawWhat It Does: Allows you to play a melody in front of certain ancient shrines

that unveils new paths that usually lead to the lost Chao.

These also allow shortcuts occasionally.Difficulty: Easy - REQUIRED to get 3rd level emblems

How To Get: Make your way up the Thermal Lift type thing (thats just whatI call it) and head to the left (or right, depending which wayyou are facing). Fly over to the lonely statue and way above hishead is a picture. Dig through the Oval type shape in the centerto find a secret room with Knuckles Mystic Melody. Use it on theshrine to create a warp that leads you back to the starting room.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Shovel Claw

Location: Pumpkin HillRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: Without a doubt the most useful upgrade for Knuckles, this

allows you to dig through walls and floors to find some of thepieces of the emerald (or keys depending on which level).Without this, you won't make it past Pumpkin Hill.


How To Get: Look straight ahead from you and you will see the Shovel Claw.All you need to do is fly or walk across the ledge to get overto the "island" and pick up this simple upgrade.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Air NecklaceLocation: Aquatic MineRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: Another useful upgrade for our little red echidna is the air

necklace. The air necklace allows infinite air while swimmingunderwater. You'll have a VERY tough time beating the finallevel without this item, so I suggest you pick it up on yourfirst time through this level.

Difficulty: Medium-Hard - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for final stage

How To Get: The first thing you need to do for this upgrade is getting the

water level lowered. Walk straight forward at the beginning ofthe level, crawl up that central structure (water powered lift),and grab the crane lift to get up to the highest floor. Find the



level 3 water switch and hit it to make life a little easier. Godown into the level again and look for a long pipe typestructure with 2 caution signs plastered near the top of it. Godown the pipe and if you see a spring at the bottom, continue on.If theres only an opening and no spring, go to the other side ofthe level (should be kitty cornered) and drop down that one. Hopinto a water and now is when the fun begins. As fast as you can,

swim through the path. Soon you'll come to a small room withsome wooden planks at the bottom. Quickly and carefully swimthrough them and swim through another pipe. Now quickly swimstraight up and hope you dont run out of air. At the top is asmall room with the air necklace.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Hammer GlovesLocation: Death ChamberRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: Allows you to destroy metal boxes. Destroying the boxes can

help you find extra rings, animals, shortcuts, and even upgradesfor some characters. These are required to complete the level.Difficulty: Easy - REQUIRED to finish level

How To Get: At the beginning of the level, use the hourglass to go throughthe door. Turn to your right in the hallway to see some crates.Break through them and located behind are the Hammer Gloves.You can now get through the 2 paths with metal crates in the mainroom and continue on with your hunting quest.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Sunglasses

Location: Meteor HerdRequirements: Hammer GlovesWhat It Does: Allows you to see hidden pictures and hidden items. Required to

get most Hard Mode emblems (5th emblem for each Knuckles level)I recommened you pick up this upgrade right away considering itis fairly easy to get and comes very useful. Out of all ofKnuckles upgrades, this one is the coolest.

Difficulty: Medium - REQUIRED for most Hard Mode emblems

How To Get: There are actually 2 ways to get this upgrade. I would suggestusing the way that seems easier for you. Straight in front ofyou is a circular type platform (located directly under whereyou fight Rouge in the next level) with 6 doors with red slasheson them. Use the nearby meteors by smashing them into the doorsto find a metal box with a switch. The door you need has themeteor a fairly large distance away. You can either:A) Get a good start and smash that meteor as hard as you can into

the doorOR you canB) Softly tap one of the other meteors around and place it as

well as you can in front of the door. Then you can smash itinto the door.

Either way, once you open the door, break the box and hit theswitch. This will remove the floor from the force-fielded wallsin front of you. Fly up and over the force field walls and fall

down into the newly opened area. On the bottom platform shouldbe located the upgrade. Pop on the sunglasses by using the Ybutton to shuffle through your B list. Then hit B to put them



on to see some hidden surprises nearby.

_______________________________________________________________________________

D. Shadow---------

Item: Flame RingLocation: Radical HighwayRequirements: Air ShoesWhat It Does: Since this is the same as Sonic's Flame Ring, I'll just copy

and paste that definition here. Allows you to break metal boxesallowing you to find more hidden animals and coin boxes. Thisis a very useful upgrade.

Difficulty: Easy-Medium - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and may be REQUIRED

How To Get: Near the beginning of the level, you should see a "staircasepyramid" type structure leading up to the highway. Hop up thismaking sure not to shoot the boxes. After walking a little ways

you'll come up to a highway path you need to "turn" on. Insteadof going the way the camera goes, go the other way. You shouldsee a roller that you can spin under. After this should be aline of rings going to another highway. You should know what todo here, if not simply do a Light Dash across the way. Hit thespring on the path and hop into the circle to get the Flame Ringupgrade.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Air ShoesLocation: White JungleRequirements: None

What It Does: Allows you to use the EXTREMELY useful Light Dash. The LightDash (also seen in Sonic Adventure) allows you to dash througha line of rings to get over and avoid obstacles under. This isusually used to access shortcuts and occasionally used tocontinue on the normal path.


How To Get: Go through the level as normal until you get to a long line ofrings. Look around on the island you are on to find a woodenbox. Open it up and fall down into the hole to land on a lowerbit of the jungle mountain. Look around to see the Air Shoes.To get out of this area, spin under the wooden wall nearby anduse the shoes for a light dash across the ring line.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Ancient LightLocation: Sky RailRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: Allows you to use the Light Attack. The Light Attack allows

you to attack enemies in a quick row.Difficulty: Medium-Hard

How To Get: Not as hard as it seems. Proceed through the level as normaluntil you get to the first rocket. DO NOT take this rocket, but

instead homing attack the enemy over to the ledge with the chaobox. Walk over and break the chao box. Tiptoe over to the edgeand get as close to the mountain as you can. A row of baddies



should appear. Homing attack them and then homing attack thefinal one with the spring to get to the top of the mountain andthe Ancient Light upgrade.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Mystic Melody

Location: Final ChaseRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: Allows you to play a melody in front of certain ancient shrines



How To Get: Continue through the level as normal until you get to the partwhere you are continuously running up gravity pipes and jumpingonto platforms with those annoying Chaos type guys attacking you.At the top of one of those you will be able to see in thedistance another gravity pipe with an entire electric field

around at one point. Jump at the pipe so you land above theelectric field and then follow up the pipe for a platform andthe Shadow's Mystic Melody upgrade.

_______________________________________________________________________________

E. Dr. Eggman-------------

Item: Laser BlasterLocation: Iron GateRequirements: Large CannonWhat It Does: Increases the amount of space and firing radius Eggman has. You

can lock on to enemies with double the radius now. This isanother useful item when you are attempting for A ranks on thelevels.

Difficulty: Easy

How To Get: Continue through the level as normal until you get to the 2ndcheckpoint. In front of you should be a hallway blocked by metalboxes. Simply shoot the boxes out and continue through the"trashy" hallway to get this upgrade. See..that wasn't so hardnow, was it?

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Mystic MelodyLocation: Sand OceanRequirements: Jet EngineWhat It Does: Allows you to play a melody in front of certain ancient shrines


Difficulty: Easy - REQUIRED to get 3rd level emblems

How To Get: At the beginning of the level, hop onto the spinning platformshortly in front of you. Wait on the end of it until it comes upto the platform on your left. Jump and hover over and walk downthe short path to find the Mystic Melody at the end. Play it at

the shrine to create a warp and continue on your way.

_______________________________________________________________________________



Item: Jet EngineLocation: Lost ColonyRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: One of Eggman's most useful upgrades, this allows you to hover

over open spaces to make those long, tough jumps. This isrequired to finish Lost Colony and is also required to finish

many of the other missions with Eggman in the game.Difficulty: Easy-Medium - REQUIRED to finish level

How To Get: When you get to the large room that appears to be a never endingcircle and fairly dark, look around until you see a staircasemade of the unbreakable metal boxes. It should be the onlycompleted staircase that you can actually walk up in this level.This will allow you to hover to the other platforms and exit theroom which is why it is required.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Large CannonLocation: Weapons BedRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: This is a weapon upgrade for Dr. Eggman that allows him to break

metal boxes. Breaking metal boxes in SA2 is extremely helpfuland required in finishing some missions or finding hidden ringsand animals.

Difficulty: Easy - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and possibly REQUIRED

How To Get: Head past the large stock of enemies at the beginning of thelevel and keep an eye out on the left side for 3 doors. Oneshould be open while the other two are closed with dynamite packs.Open the center door or the left one with dynamite in it to find

the upgrade tucked away. Sometimes Sonic Team can be so sneaky!

_______________________________________________________________________________ Item: Protective ArmorLocation: Cosmic WallRequirements: Jet EngineWhat It Does: Obviously, the Armor upgrade upgrades your armor allowing you

to take more hits from the baddies!Difficulty: Medium

How To Get: This is a fairly obvious one, but I will still explain it. Afterthe second checkpoint, there will be a free fall coming up. Asyou fall, look for a platform with a rocket on the left side.Land on the platform and launch the rocket to blow up some"hidden" crates. Hover over to the hidden platform locateddirectly below the other platform. It's tough to see but you'llneed to try to land right between them. If you can manage that,you'll get this upgrade.

_______________________________________________________________________________

F. Rouge--------

Item: Mystic Melody

Location: Dry LagoonRequirements: Pick NailsWhat It Does: Allows you to play a melody in front of certain ancient shrines




Difficulty: Easy-Medium - REQUIRED to get 3rd level emblems

How To Get: In the starting room, look around for a picture to crawl through.It should look like the ones you ran across in Egg Quarters andKnuckles' Death Chamber levels. Anyways, there should be 2

pictures in the room you start in. One is uncovered while theother is hidden behind some boxes way up on the top. Find theuncovered one which is a little bit lower than the covered one.Once you find it, crawl in and grab the Mystic Melody. Play iton the shrine to create a warp and continue on through the level.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Pick NailsLocation: Egg QuartersRequirements: NoneWhat It Does: Without a doubt the most useful upgrade for Rouge, this allows

you to dig through walls and floors to find some of the piecesof the emerald (or keys depending on which level). Without this,you won't make it past Egg Quarters.


How To Get: At the start of the level, go forward through the hallway whilewatching out for the beetle robot. When safe, continue throughthe next room with 2 robot enemies and through another hallway.When you get to the room with the rocket, set the rocket off andgo through the wall it opens up. Located at the far end of theroom is the upgrade. Please be careful as there is a trap in thecenter of the room waiting to crush you if you dont go around it.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Treasure ScopeLocation: Security HallRequirements: Iron Boots, Mystic MelodyWhat It Does: Allows you to see hidden pictures and hidden items. Required to

get most Hard Mode emblems (5th emblem for each Knuckles level)I recommened you pick up this upgrade as soon as you get theBoots and the Melody, because it comes in handy.


How To Get: The first thing you'll need to do is get on the Yellow floor whichI believe is floor B and the center floor. Anyways, run to theend nearest the beginning and you should see a Shrine. Obviously,play the Mystic Melody and a line of platforms will appear walk orjump across these into the door and continue to find the TreasureScope. Put it on by cycling through your B list with the Y buttonand you will see a free life in the corner of the room you foundit.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Item: Iron BootsLocation: Mad SpaceRequirements: None

What It Does: Allows you to destroy metal boxes. Destroying the boxes canhelp you find extra rings, animals, shortcuts, and even upgradesfor some characters. These are required to complete the level.



Difficulty: Medium-Hard - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

How To Get: This one is tough to explain, but I'll do the best I can. Hereis a short walkthrough on getting it from beginning to end. Atthe beginning, go to one of the 3 connected platforms with theswitch. The switch puts a rocket on a platform above. Climb upand use the rocket to get on a big green asteroid. Look around

for a smaller asteroid (still rather large) that looks sort oflike the moon. Fly down to it and look in the enclosement in thecenter of the asteroid to find the upgrade.

_______________________________________________________________________________ --------------------------------5. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS--------------------------------Q: I picked up an upgrade, but when I started my game later, I didn't have it.

Why don't I have it anymore?A: You'll need to finish the level or finish some level so the game saves

before you turn off the game or your upgrades will not save.

If you have any questions, please submit them to <[email protected]>

Hey there. I decided to make an FAQ for the lost chao, because when I waslooking for them, I noticed that there were absolutely no lost chao in-depth

FAQs! And a lot of people are asking for the lost chao on the boards so...I finally got all the lost chao, and now I decided to make a guide to helpyou get all of them. I know it can sometimes be hard to find them and it tookme a long time before getting all of them so I tried to make my FAQ asdetailed and helpful I could. Hope you will enjoy my FAQ and it will helpyou finding all the lost chao!

~WishingTikal on 06/10/02

Hiya all, I'm back... four years later! That FAQ was my first one, so it's veryspecial to me. I decided to update it a bit, because considering it was my very

first FAQ, it's obviously not my most well written one (although it does ismy most detailed and in-depth one, it even surprise me how detailed I went inmy explanations!). I'm not changing the layout, since it's part of thenostalgia, but I'll correct all those little mistakes here and there, and tryto make it clearer. I'm glad it helped so many people, and thanks for yoursupport. I hope you'll keep using and enjoying it.

~WishingTikal on 01/01/06

*Note that this FAQ was actually made for the Gamecube version of the game, butit's the same so I only modified a few little things.

I finally got all 180 emblems (hey, I'm not bragging!) so all the A Ranks forthe third missions. I would have liked to add the ways of getting all the ARanks for the lost chao missions, but I never really had the time to. Anyways,there is only and only one trick: get to the lost chao the fastest you can, soknow the level by heart. But of course, I wrote down all the times you need tobeat to get an A Rank on the third missions for every single level. For certainmissions, you will need to have specific character's upgrades (like the MysticMeldoy) in order to find the lost chao. If you don't have them, you will not beable to reach the lost chao. If you need one of them, please consult theUpgrade FAQ (on GameFAQs.com). Good luck.



Mission 3 : Find the lost Chao

*******************************************************************************

A. S O N I C

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Â.a. CITY ESCAPE^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Upgrade needed : Mystic Melody

*****************A Rank -> 2:30*****************

Some people seem to have trouble finding this one but it's really easy. Afteryou reach the park area ( checkpoint 2 ), you will go through a loop and then

run down a building. Press the jump button to jump so you fall off thebuilding instead of running down it. You will land near springs. Walk a littleforward until you come to a tree, then turn left. There you will see an ancientshrine, so play Mystic Melody near it and a spring will appear on top of it.Jump on the spring and grab the pulley above. Press A to jump on the nextpulley, then jump on the spring and grab the other pulley and repeat the sameuntil you see a beetle enemy with an electric field around it. Wait until itdisappears and home attack that beetle. You will fall on a spring and thengrab another pulley. Now a pole will be in front of you, so jump on it andlet it go while you are spinning upward so you will jump towards the building.Stay close to the wall and while falling, enter the opening in the wall. Hereis the lost Chao.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Â.b. METAL HARBOR^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Upgrades needed : Bounce BraceletMystic Melody

*****************A Rank -> 0:50*****************

This one is pretty simple. When you get to an area with planes launchingbombs, go at the extremity of the area before the row of rings, and look onyour left. You will notice four hangars. In the bottom middle one, there isa chao box. In the hangar on top of this one you will see an ancient shrine.Bounce to reach this hangar and play Mystic Melody next to the ancient shrine.A floating platform will appear in front of you. Jump on it and then at theright, on the hangar. There should be some floating platforms in the air overthe sea. Bounce on the first one above you, then use the homing attack indirection of the next platform. Be careful not to fall. Home attack to reachthe last one and then a last time on the structure with red boxes on it inthe water. Go at the end of it on the yellow footbridge and grab the lost chao.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



A.c. GREEN FOREST^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


****************

*A Rank -> 1:30*****************

Another easy one. Right before reaching checkpoint 3, you should be in an areawith a lot of big red flowers. Go up the little hill where a green tree trunk islying on the ground (an animal is next to it) and take a look below, at the leftextremity of the hill. Down there you will see an ancient shrine. Jump down toit and play Mystic Melody. Floating platforms will appear. Instead of jumping onthe first platform, go back up where the red flowers are. Walk a little forwardnext to the second floating platform and jump on this one. Then, bounce up toreach the third platform. Now be careful. Jump a little to your right, where youcan see two beetle enemies. Press A to home attack the first beetle. No need to

home attack the second one. Just hold the stick forward to land on a platformnext to the lost chao.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Â.d. PYRAMID CAVE^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


****************

*A Rank -> 3:50*****************

Next to checkpoint 3, you have surely notice an ancient shrine, but it's notthe right one, so don't mind it and keep going until you see another ancientshrine. You can't miss it, don't worry, it's right on your way (just before arow of rings and a loop). Play Mystic Melody on it and a spring will appear onthe right edge. Jump on the spring and you'll land near a wire fencing, butdon't mind it. Instead, go through the passageway. Hit the hourglass switch andbounce up on the pole above you. You will have to be very quick. Swing on thesethree poles and if you make it in time, you will land in front of the half closedoor. (If not, make your way back on the poles to the hourglass and try again.)Quickly go through the half close door to reach the lost chao.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Â.e. CRAZY GADGET^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

*A Rank -> 5:00*****************



When you reach the area with colored block platforms ( checkpoint 5 ), pressthe first gravity switch you see and you will now be on a purple block. Go tothe left and follow the trail of rings to another gravity switch. Press it andyou will land on a green block. Go left, then down and jump on the black boxes.Bounce on these to reach the top and another gravity switch. Press it and youwill land on a yellow block. Turn left, then continue your way up. Home attackthe beetle enemy you see there to land on a blue block. Make your way right and

press the gravity switch there. You are now on the yellow block. Watch out forthe blue enemy on this block. If you go right you will find a shield capsule.Then go back where the blue enemy was and press the gravity switch. Jump on thespring and hold the stick down to fall on the other side of the yellow block.Go down and hit the spring. Light dash through the line of rings to land on theramp. Now you should be on a green block. Go upward and use the spring to reachthe purple block. On your right is a line of rings so light dash through it.Once on the blue block, press the gravity switch. On the purple block, makeyour way right and then down. You should come to a switch with a star on it(the round white one). Press the gravity switch next to it to land on the redblock. Watch out for another blue enemy. Press the switch on your left to fallon the purple block. Go to the end of the platform and you will finally see the

ancient shrine. Play Mystic Melody next to it and light dash through the row ofrings that just appeared. Make sure to hold the stick forward while lightdashing to carefully land on the red block. Once there, watch out for the twoflying beetle enemies that are homing at you. The lost chao is waiting for youstraight ahead on a ledge of the platform.

If you're going for the A Rank, Link Eiyu has a faster method of reaching thelost chao:

When you get into the gravity chamber/block room with all the switches, pressthe first switch in the room. You'll end up on the purple block. From there,run towards the second switch. But INSTEAD OF PRESSING IT, jump to the right,onto the red block. This should shave a good 30 seconds off your time to get

there. From there, proceed as normal by hitting the gravity switch to yourleft, landing you back on the purple block. Then go to the shrine and play theMystic Melody and light dash on the line of rings that appears.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Â.f. FINAL RUSH^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Upgrades needed : Light ShoesMystic Melody

*****************A Rank -> 4:15*****************

After checkpoint 5, at a certain point, you will grind up a railing and hit aspring, then land near a purple railing and a orange one. Get on the purplerailing. I suggest you hitting the sixth checkpoint in front of you beforecontinuing because you can easily die here. After hitting checkpoint 6, goback to the ancient shrine next to the purple railing. Play Mystic Melody andfloating platforms should appear; go on them. Now this can get pretty tricky.Try to use the homing attack onto the purple railing with a red "X" infront of you to climb it up. Crouch on it to gain some speed. The only trick I

can give you is to jump while holding the stick forward when the railing isstraight. Once you make your way to the top of the railing, follow the path toanother ancient shrine. Play Mystic Melody and then light dash through the row



of rings that just appeared. Then, another hard part. Make your way throughall these orange railings carefully until you reach a tunnel. Go through thetunnel and destroy the blue enemy. Then, home attack on the railingand crouch to get to the top of it (it can take a few tries). In the center ofthe room is the lost chao.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^B.a. RADICAL HIGHWAY^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


*****************A Rank -> 2:30*****************

After checkpoint 2, you will go across two loops, then you will run down to aramp. Make sure to press A while on it to bounce on a spring and finally onanother road. Once there, destroy the robot enemy and jump on the pole. PressA while upward to land on the moving lifts. Then wait for the beetle enemy todrop its electric field and home attack it and then the two others.Destroy the robot enemy ahead and jump on the springs. You should now be onthe upper part of the bridge. There should be a golden beetle here. Head left(or right) towards the side of the bridge where Omochao is. From now on, read

carefully. People always have trouble understanding what to do. Next toOmochao is a bridge rail with rings on it. DO NOT go on this one. So, on theOTHER SIDE of Omochao is another bridge rail (on the OPPOSITE side of the onewith rings). There is no rings on this one. This one takes you to the oppositeside. So instead of grinding forward, you go BACKWARDS. I repeat, BACKWARDS.So, get on the rail going backwards and crouch to gain speed. You will land onthe other part of the bridge and in the middle is an ancient shrine. PlayMystic Melody and floating platforms will appear, so jump on these and you'llreach the lost chao.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^B.b. WHITE JUNGLE^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


*****************A Rank -> 3:20*****************

An easy one. At a certain point of the level (after the third checkpoint) youwill come to a chao container with three capsules behind it. Jump on thespring. You should now be in front of a slingshot. But do not jump onto it.

Head to the opposite direction of it. You will see the shadow of a weight trapabove you, but don't worry, continue your way to the ancient shrine. Play MysticMelody next to it and floating platforms will appear. Jump on the ancient shrine



and then on the platforms. On the third one, you will see a beetle enemy. Homeattack it and land on the platform. Now jump onto the slingshot, then onanother one. Home attack the next beetle enemy but watch out for its electricfield. Other beetle enemies will appear after you hit it so do not go too fast.Home attack all of them in a row. The lost chao is on the next platform.

You are now on a round platform and in the center isanother higher round platform with fences around it so you won't be able toclimb it. Go left (or right) and watch out for the flying robot enemy firingat you. You will find a spring lift so home attack it and destroy the flyingrobot enemy in front of you. Then, use the other spring lift and carefullyjump on the platform with the lost chao on it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^B.d. FINAL CHASE^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Upgrades needed : Air ShoesMystic Melody

*****************A Rank -> 4:30*****************

If you find an ancient shrine at the beginning of the level (somewhere aftercheckpoint 2), then it's not the right one so continue your way untilcheckpoint 6. You will pass through some horizontal cylinders with springs onthem and blue enemies. Then you will use a pulley to go up, destroy a blueenemy, and land on a vertical cylinder. There is a panel on this cylinder tokeep you from spinning around it. On top of this cylinder is a spring and nextto it is a pulley. Do NOT jump on the spring. Grab the pulley to go up to aplatform with an ancient shrine on it. Play Mystic Melody and a line of ringsshould appear on the other side of this platform. Light dash through thoserings and you should land on a floating platform. Jump on the other platformwith a 10 rings capsule on it. Don't jump on the spring on this platform, goon the cylinder instead. Watch out for the meteors and the electric fieldswhile you make your way to the top. Once on top, grab the pulley.

Then, glide tothe left, following the metal beam to another platform with a rocket on it. Usethe rocket. It will take you to a churchyard on top of Church Mountain. On theother side of the cemetery is a dancing dead tree and next to it is anotherrocket. This rocket takes to Pumpkin Hill, so use it to get there.

Then, glide to the second platform with a scarecrow and finally to thelast platform with pumpkins and the lost chao.

This is the other (longest) way to get the lost chao: From the beginning of thelevel, turn around and glide to the rocket on the platform with pumpkins andOmochao.

B. E G G M A NUpgrades needed : Jet Engine

Large Cannon



Mystic Melody

Straight after checkpoint 2, there is a small platform you must land on to gobelow, but instead of going on it, you will need to reach the door on the otherside. Hover to that door. You might have to hover from the rail to the door toreach it. Once you reach it, break the metal crates and keep going on to theancient shrine. Play Mystic Melody and a shield capsule will appear behind you.

That's all? Yup, that's all. Now make your way to the end of the level.

Eggman has opened a new path for Rouge now. At the beginning, turn left and youwill notice there is a new open path now. Normally, there was a door here. Atthe end of the tunnel is an ancient shrine so play Mystic Melody and a shieldcapsule will appear. That's all for Rouge. Finish her level now.

D. K N U C K L E SUpgrades needed : Mystic Melody

Rouge has made floating platforms appear for Knuckles now. Leave the waterarea and go to the security door near Omochao (the one you must open to finishthe level). There are now floating platforms next to it leading to a hole inthe ceiling. Jump and you will grab a pulley. Once in the tunnel, you will seean ancient shrine so play Mystic Melody to make a magnet shield capsule appear.That's it. Use the pulley to head down and go open that security door to finish

knuckles' level.

E. S O N I CUpgrades needed : Light Shoes

The last and hardest part. You start from sliding down a pole. Once you slidedown the second pole near the end of the level, you will fall on a kind ofyellow waterslide. Knuckles should have made a row of rings appear on top ofthe waterfall. Press the right button to light dash through it when you getclose to it. It can be hard because of the water flow (it took me a fewtries...). While light dashing through the rings, hold the stick FORWARD toland on a platform. Destroy the two blue enemies on this platform to open thedoor. Watch out for the three robot enemies inside and finally pick up the lastlost chao.
