A Sun Medal from Sonic Unleashed.

Sun Medals are collectibles present in Sonic Unleashed. Their gameplay characteristics, role and way of obtaining vary between the PS2/Wii and the PS3/X-Box version, although their appearance is identical.

PS2/Wii version

On the PS2/Wii version, Sun Medals are obtained every time you complete a Night Stage's set objective for the first time:

• In a Night Stage Act, there are three set objectives:
  • Time Objective: finish the level within a set time;
  • Rings Objective: collect at least a certain number of Rings;
  • Dark Gaia Force objective: collect at least a certain ammount of Dark Gaia Force.
• In a Night Stage mission, you have to simply complete the stage.
• In a Night Stage boss, you have beat the respective Boss (Dark Gaia Phoenix, Dark Moray, Dark Guardian or the Egg Dragoon).

The Sun Medals serve to unlock the Item Doors at every Gaia Gate, so they are required to complete the game: the last obtainable mission (in Adabat) requires you to get all Secrets Items, so you need all the Item Doors that contain them. Also, even if you don't complete the last level, most Secrets Missions are also obtained in the Gaia Gates.
