Treasures along the Way...
Course Points of Interest
Rings | These are "key" to your
success in the game. You need to collect a different amount per course. How many do you need? Why do you need them? Telling would be cheating! Maybe you'll just need to look around and find out for yourself. |
|
---|---|---|
Item Panel | This red, yellow and blue item will
come in handy, so be sure to pick it up as you run around the course. There are different powers your character gains for a short time when you run through an Item Panel. |
|
Fleet Feet | Fleet Feet increases your character's
speed. As if your character wasn't fast enough already! |
|
Water Shield | With a Water Shield (blue sphere), you
can walk or run on water! Keep in mind that you can only use the shield once, so use it wisely! |
|
Lightning Shield | When a Lightning Shield (yellow
sphere) appears around your character, there is no need to touch the Rings. Just run by them and the Lightning Shield will suck them in! Remember that falling in the water makes the shield disappear. |
|
Big 5 Ring | 5 rings will be added to your Ring count. | |
Big 10 Ring | 10 rings will be added to your Ring count. | |
Big 20 Ring | 20 rings will be added to your Ring count. | |
Ring Gate | This gate will be open only if you
have enough rings for the number displayed above it. Through this, you may take a short cut, or may find Chaos Emeralds...... Ring Gate is also "key". |
|
Accelerators | Run through an Accelerator and you are
propelled forward at an unbelievable speed. Of course, riding this high-tech wonder machine will require a fee in Rings. The more rings you have, the further the Accelerator will send you. Keep in mind that your rings will run out with Warp System.When you want to save your rings, you better avoid it. |
|
Sonic Tokens | Find the five Sonic Tokens located on
each course. Gather all of them, continue to run, and something rather unexpected might happen. The search is well worth the effort. |
|
Chaos Emeralds | What would a Sonic game be without
Chaos Emeralds? Race around the tracks to find the Emeralds, but only the best racers can keep them. |
Checking Chaos Emeralds
You will check the Chaos Emeralds your character has collected so
far from the LOAD/ SAVE DATA option menu.
