These badniks are often shy though, and will fly away after a couple of pics, unless you can trap them somehow (you don’t need to be in view of the badnik itself, you both just need to be in the frame).ĭescription: Let the wind take you through Allow any number of bat enemies to take photos ten times in a single Act for this to count. They have flash photography mechanics in their circuitry when these bat things get near, they will take a picture of you. Guide: There are bat-like badniks in Studiopolis Zone that come quite close to Sonic, but rarely touch (unless they’re feeling super-bold). Stack your beans in such a way that when one set disappears, it lines up another set of four beans to disappear, and so on until the achievement dings.ĭescription: Have your photos taken in Studiopolis Zone You can chain combos of multiple coloured beans to build up a barricade of blank beans.
The objective is to pair up four or more beans of the same colour in order to send blank beans to your opponent’s chamber. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, then you’ll feel right at home here. Guide: You activate this achievement during the Act 2 boss in Chemical Plant Zone. Once you burn it down, the achievement should pop. The prize in the middle is a fire shield – grab it, and then backtrack to the bridge. Speed past that, and you’ll head into a waterfall area in which a number of Buzzbombers surround you. Guide: In Act 2 of Green Hill Zone, you’ll come across the dreaded wooden spiked bridge of old. If it reveals a power-up monitor, the banner bounces – you need to find two power-up monitors in a row for it to count.ĭescription: What would happen when you cross a bridge with a fire shield? You can do this as many times as you like until it makes contact with the ground. For those who don’t know, at the end of Act 1 in any Zone, once you’ve beaten the boss, you can hit the falling banner and knock it around. To get this achievement, you need to reveal two hidden power-up monitors using the Act 1 stage marker. Make sure you’re going as fast as you can!ĭescription: Find the hidden item boxes at the end of the Zone The easiest way of doing this is in Green Hill Zone Act 1, when you enter the classic ‘S’ bend and hit the Star Post before entering another ‘S’ bend.

You start off at Mach 1 and can go up to Mach 3 speed be careful to note your surroundings in the Special Stages and prepare to take corners early when going super-fast (you can even jump around corners if you’re going fast enough). Each Special Stage is a 3D looping obstacle course where the objective is to collect blue spheres (to speed up) and rings (to extend time) in order to catch the UFO ahead which is holding the Chaos Emerald. You find entrances to the Special Stages within giant rings hidden within Zones. Guide: Easier said than done, but still pretty obvious what the game wants from you at this point. Mind you, some of those Blue Sphere stages are rather brutal…ĭescription: Collect all seven Chaos Emeralds Seeings as there are only two grades – gold (for getting ‘Perfect’) and silver (for simply completing a stage) – it should be relatively easy to get this one. You need to simply complete all 32 Blue Sphere stages with any grade. Guide: This is related to the above achievement, only there is a lower bar to clear with this one. Good luck!ĭescription: Collect silver medallions in Blue Spheres Bonus Stage And, you get a ‘Perfect’ by collecting all rings before grabbing the very last blue sphere in a stage.
