I N T R O D U C T I O N =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= So... hello. I'm a huge Sonic fan and I particularly like Knuckles and Tikal. SADX and SA2Battle are two of my favorite games for the Cube right now.. I'm impatiently waiting for the release of Sonic Heroes.. Anyway, on to the FAQ. -= WishingTikal =- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 2. U P G R A D E S =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ********************* *A. Sonic's Upgrades* ********************* ____________________ a) LIGHT-SPEED SHOES Location : After "Windy Valley", return to the place where a car was on a hole leading to the sewers (Station Square). The car's now gone and you can access the sewers. Drop down in the hole and jump on the "balcony" over you. Here you'll find your new shoes. Purpose : You can now perform the Light-Speed Dash and dash through lines of rings. I'd like to have running shoes like these. _______________ b) CRYSTAL RING Location : After getting the Light-Speed Shoes, go to the hotel. Go upstairs and press the button to make a line of rings appear. Press the other button and the door to the other side will open. Quickly light-speed dash through the line of rings before the door closes. Inside you'll find the Crystal Ring. Purpose : Now you can charge up the Light-Speed Dash twice faster than before. Hey that's some nice blue bracelet Sonic. ________________ c) ANCIENT LIGHT Location : After "Speed Highway", take the train to Mystic Ruins and go inside the cavern where the Ice Cave is. But instead of going there, go down the tunnel to the end and you'll end up near the Master Emerald Shrine (I guess that is Floating Island). Behind a big rock before the footbridge, you should find the Ancient Light. Purpose : You can now perform the Light-Speed Attack. (Used to enter "Red Mountain") ******************** *B. Tails' Upgrades* ******************** _____________ a) JET ANKLET Location : In Station Square, left of Twinkle Park is the entrance to the sewers. Go at the end near the gate and you'll notice a hole in the ceiling. Use Tails' ability to fly and go up the hole. In a room up there you'll find the Jet Anklet. Purpose : Now you can fly faster and longer. Tails' a lucky guy. ______________ b) RYTHM BADGE Location : It took me some time finding this one... When Tikal brings you back in the past, the Rythm Badge can be found somewhere left of the "temple". You can't leave the past without it anyway. Purpose : You can now perform the Rapid Tails Attack. You can spin continously, attacking with your tails. ******************* *C. Amy's Upgrades* ******************* __________________ a) WARRIOR FEATHER Location : Beat the mini-game "Hedgehog Hammer" aboard the Egg Carrier for the first time. Purpose : You can now perform the Spin Attack Hammer. Oh yeah swing it. ______________ b) LONG HAMMER Location : Go in Adventure Mode with Amy and aboard the Egg Carrier. Replay the mini-game "Hedgehog Hammer" a second time and beat your high score. You'll be awarded the Long Hammer. Purpose : It's green, it's stronger, it's faster, it's better. *********************** *D. Knuckles' Upgrades* *********************** _______________ a) SHOVEL CLAWS Location : Near Tails' workshop is a cave. (Down the mountain) Inside, near the Chao Mystic Ruins garden you should find the Shovel Claws. Purpose : Dig the ground to find things, like rings. Press A and B simultaneously. (Hard !) __________________ b) FIGHTING GLOVES Location : Take the mine kart in Mystic Ruins to get to the "jungle". Glide in direction of Big's House and you should see a ledge over it on the wall. Climb to this ledge to find the Fighting Gloves. Purpose : You can now perform the Maximum Heat Knuckles attack. You don't wanna get punched by Knuckles. ********************* *E. E-102's Upgrades* ********************* ______________ a) JET BOOSTER Location : Inside the Egg Carrier, in one of the 2 doors on the upper legde of the main room. Once inside the room, go down to find the Jet Booster. Purpose : You can now hover... over things in the air. ______________ b) GUN UPGRADE Location : After the Egg Carrier crashes, return inside the main room and the Gun Upgrade is inside the opposite room of the room you found the Jet Booster in. Purpose : You can now lock-on more enemies at the same time. Useful for the level A emblems. ******************* *F. Big's Upgrades* ******************* ____________ a) LIFE BELT Location : In the Ice Cave, in Mystic Ruins. After "Ice Cap Zone", you'll find it right in front of you down the ladder. Purpose : You can now float in the water. (What is the real purpose of that ?) ____________ b) POWER ROD Location : In Mystic Ruins, in the "jungle" part. Go to Big's House and in his hut, lift up his bed to find the Power Rod under it. Purpose : You can now cast your rod further. _________________ c) LURE POWERUPS Purpose : Used to catch bigger fishes. Locations : 1. Left of the entrance to Twinkle Park, in the sewers. 2. In the jungle area of Mystic Ruins, look on the map and you'll notice 2 small caves. In the one NEAREST to Big's House is the lure. Use your map to guide you. 3. In Adventure Mode, go in the "Ice Cap Zone" stage. At the begining of the level, lift up the rock and throw it on the ice to make a hole. Jump in the hole and at the bottom of the water, go through the tunnel there to end up in another area. You can see the lure behind a "wall" but cannot reach it. Instead, jump on the spring to get out of the water. You'll be on a dinosaur skeleton. Go to the right where there is a spring next to an "invinsibility capsule" behind some spikes. Jump on the spring and you'll be in the upper area. Take the rock there and throw it on the ice to make a hole. Or you could jump on the part where the ice seems fragile. At the bottom of the water, next to the dinosaur skull, you can find the lure. 4. Aboard the Egg Carrier, go in the room where Amy was being held. In one of the cells you'll see the lure. Jump on the switch near the cell to open the gate. Hope my FAQ helped you ! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3.
