III. Walkthrough
Here's what you came here for. Everything I list can be done with Sonic,
but Tails is much easier.
1. Turquoise Hill Zone
A. Act 1
Grab the 4 rings at the start, then head on. Just after the ramp jump on
top of the platform. Get the 8 rings here and jump on the moving platform. Go
to the left. Here you'll get 16 rings. Don't get the Rocket Shoe until you get
all the rings. When you get the Rocket Shoe, go right and as high up as you
can. Don't go too fast or you'll miss the next platform. Once on the platform
you'll find 7 more rings and another Rocket Shoe. Get the Rocket Shoe and head
right. Try to get the ring below you, this could make or break getting the
emerald in this act. Keep going right and land on the platform (above a loop).
Get the rings and go left. Get the 24 rings here, and then go right. You
should get a total of 100 rings by just going straight, as long as you got
all of em'.
B. Act 2
Get the 4 rings in front of you, then get 16 when you jump down. Continue
right and avoid the enemy between columns 2 and 3. Now get the rings here to
bring the total up to 28. Turn around and head left. Use the spring enemy to
jump up, but, once again, avoid the enemy. Now head back up, using the moving
platform at the top of the hill. Go right when it gets to the top and jump on
the spring enemy. Get on top of the loop to get 16 rings and invincibility.
Don't use the spring, instead jump straight down and get 20 more rings, bring
the total up to 64. Just after the spikes, there is a spring hidden in the
ground. Use it to go just to the right and get to the platform high above you.
Get 10 more rings and start to run on the twisted road. Go right and get some
more hanging in the air, then go right and jump down. During your fall you
should reach 100 rings.
C. Boss
Just run up to him and jump in to his face.
2. Gigapolis Zone
A. Act 1
After getting 3 rings at start, just keep running right, you'll get 44
more this way. Now, go back to the spring and jump up. Get the invincibility
to your left and go right. Jump up in to the tube and continue left. Here
you'll find 5 more "10 rings". That should put you well over 100.
B. Act 2
Get the 8 in front of you and move on. Don't fall on the spikes after the
first loop. Go left after you fall down and fall down again during the
spinning road. Watch out for the enemy and get the 3 "10 rings". Use a hidden
spring to get back up and get the ring hovering over the spinning road. Get
the 4 "10 rings" all the way to the left. Go right again and get the rings on
the loop to get a total of 100.
C. Boss
Once again, just keep aiming for the head.
3. Sleeping Egg Zone
A. Act 1
Grab the first 9 rings, then use the spring shoe to jump up. Get the next
spring shoe, you'll need to use one of the hidden spring to get up that high.
Now jump left and ditch it. Get the 4 "10 rings" and jump back down to get
the spring shoe again. Continue left, and get the "10 rings" on the ledge.
Then get the 4 rings hanging in mid air. Go left some more to find an extra
life and more rings; your total should be 75. Make your way back to the spring
shoe you already got twice and use it to jump to the right. Get the 6 rings
here by staying on the moving platform. Get 6 more rings here, but don't stop
moving. Continue right and get a "10 rings". Now just go left to get the
remaining rings, but don't stop moving.
B. Act 2
Take the only path until you get the 3 "10 rings". From there keep going
and get 2 more. Step into the fast dash machine and get the remaining
"10 rings". That's it, wow.
C. Boss
Try to jump on top of him. If you can't make it, just stay to the left and
jump when his laser fires.
4. Mecha Green Hill Zone
A. Act 1
Get the rings in front of you and continue right. Jump down at the
spinning road, ignoring the rings, and get a few on the way down. Now, go to
the right and get 2 more, taking the total up to 31. Don't stand on the
platform with 2 on too long, it's a death trap. Head back left and stand on
the platform all the way left. You'll fall down on to a spring. Get the rings
on the spinning road, taking the total up to 42. Doing that may take some
time, be patient. Get 14 more on the next spinning road. The easiest way to do
this is keep running on it from on side to the other, jumping in the middle.
Note that there is a hidden path on the right side, one that you must use. Get
20 more of the next one, using the same strategy. I got all the rings here on
my first try, so it shouldn't be too hard. Continue right and jump on the
moving platform to go up to the next area. Go left to find enough rings to
take the total up to 100.
B. Act 2
Get 6 at start and use the moving platform to go up, get 4 more. Do back
down and continue right. Get 4 and head up there. Get the ring as you continue
right, including the ones on the spinning road. If you got all of them you'll
have 70, but you only need about 60. Continue ahead to get more. Fall down at
the spinning road to find about 30, this should get you over 100.
C. Boss
Sigh, another boss who has a weak head. Try to jump on it when the boss is
at the lowest point, then hold right.
5. Aqua Planet Zone
A. Act 1
Just keep taking the upper-right path until you get 67 rings. Now go right
until you see a spring built in to the wall. Jump up and get the rocket shoe.
Go directly right to get a total of 100 rings.
B. Act 2
Get the 8 at start and go right, don't use the spring. Jump up to the
ledge on the right, then jump as far as you can to the left. Here you'll find
"10 rings". Go up as high as you can and make a running leap off the right
side on the platform. Here you find lots of "10 rings". Here you get a total
of 100 rings.
C. Boss
Kill all the bird robots, don't stand in the middle. Just stay on the
right and, sigh, jump on the boss' head. For the next form, just avoid the 6
missiles and jump up to hit him.
6. Electric Egg Zone
A. Act 1
Just keep going and get all the "10 rings", then jump down and get the
rings below. Spin Dash to avoid lasers.
B. Act 2
Getting 100 rings in this level is highly improbable. So if you want all
the emeralds, you'll need to already have them, or start over.
C. Boss
Form 1: Jump on his head. After a few times he'll fire a bouncing laser.
You can avoid this by staying on the left side of his head.
Form 2: Just jump on his once. He moves fast, so it won't be easy.
Now just sit back and enjoy one of the endings. If you have all the
emeralds you'll see a slightly better one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Other World (Special Stage)
You'll be transported here after getting 100 rings on any level (act 1 and
2 only). Here you can find an emerald, but only if you're quick enough. After
finishing this, you will automatically be taken to the act after the one you
were in before this.
1. First
After 44 seconds of going to the right it will be in the middle of the
screen.
2. Second
Go as high as you can, get the clock in the process. You don't have to use
the spring shoe to do this. Now jump into the right wall and fall straight
down, jump down on the right side from this platform to find a spring shoe.
Use it to jump back to the previous platform and jump as high as you can to
the right. Then jump right, then left.
3. Third
Keep going right and hold up after you enter the fifth tube.
4. Fourth
At the first spring, jump up and break the second block from the left. Now
get the Rocket Shoe and use the hole to save time. Keep going up and right,
repeat with all Rocket Shoes. Make sure you get the last Rocket shoe, if you
run too fast, you'll miss it.
5. Fifth
Go right. Now go left, by holding left, in the second tube from the bottom
when you get to the right wall. You must hold down as soon as you go in or
else you won't make it. When you leave the tube jump right away. Now just get
the emerald.
