Overview

In this version, there are in total 103 Sun Medals and 71 Moon Medals. Sun Medals are obtained for every time you complete a Night Stage's set objective for the first timeMedia:SonicUnleashed PS2 US manual.pdf^[1], and Moon Medals for every time you complete a Day Stage'sMedia:SonicUnleashed PS2 US manual.pdf^[2]:

In a Night Stage Act, the three objectives are to finish the level within a set time, to collect at least a set number of Rings and to get at least a certain ammount of Dark Gaia Force;
In a Day Stage Act, the objectives are to finish the level within three gradually increasing set times;
In both Night and Day Stage missions, the objective is to simply clear the mission;
In Boss Stages, the objective is to beat the respective boss;

The Sun and Moon Medals serve to unlock the Item Doors at every Gaia GateMedia:SonicUnleashed PS2 US manual.pdf^[3], so they are required to complete the game (although not necessary for story progression), as the last obtainable mission - "Reach the goal unscathed!" Day Stage in Adabat - requires you to get all Secret Items (except Secret Movie 36, which you obtain in this level), therefore you need all the Item Doors that contain them. Also, even if you don't complete the last level, most Secret Missions are also obtained in the Gaia Gates.
