Hints
Speed boost
At the start of any non-Boss level, you can get an extra boost of speed out of the start gate. Quickly hold [Right] just before the counter says "START!". This may require a few attempts to get the correct timing.
Use the following for a speed boost on Sky Canon. Choose any character that is fast. Select the Sky Canon Act 2 stage. Once you find a fan that blows you to get more speed, go back near the fan. Wait a few seconds and their speed will increase. After this process, turn around. This is useful with Tails because he starts by walking, then jogging, and finally flying.
Go higher and farther off a red ramp
When you get to a red ramp in the level 1, you can get farther and higher. When your about to jump on it, press [A] when about to jump. This only can be done on level 1.
Cheese gets rings
When playing as Cream the Rabbit, you can use Cheese (her Chao) for more than attacking enemies. You can also call Cheese to snag Special Rings.
Defeating Cream's final Boss
Stand in between the first and second platforms and use Cheese (her Chao) to attack Eggman's machine. Be careful of its right hand -- it is the only weapon that can reach you. Once you destroy the right hand, Eggman can no longer attack you. Destroy the left hand. Once you have destroyed both hands Eggman can only use his laser. Stay on the ground and keep using Cheese to destroy his head.
Defeating Tails' final Boss
On the huge machine at the end of the final level, use Tails' propellers to hit his head. Note: You need to hit him with the propellers precisely.
On the last level with Tails, get on a platform begin to spin. A little before you touch the spikes, let go and Tails will hit the robots head and come back. Repeat this until you win.
Sonic: Somersault attack
To do a somersault attack at the Boss, quickly press [Up] or [Down]. Sonic should be stretching or ducking.
Knuckles: Punch attack
Punch the Boss then quickly press [Up] or [Down]. Knuckles should be practicing punching or ducking.
Glitch: Blurry/double characters
This glitch works for Knuckles, Tails, and Cream. Go to a Boss with one of those characters and fly or glide to the left side of the screen. They will be blurry and you will see doubles of them. Also, if you are Cream and she gets tired while flying, when Cheese tries to pull her up there will be two Cheeses.
