Sonic Unleashed/Bugs

Back to: Sonic Unleashed.

Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions

Sonic the Hedgehog

Drift in hubs

After a low-to-ground Jump Dash, the player will have sufficient speed to Drift, though the shoulder triggers will be unusable. This will charge a neutered variant of the Air Dash for use.

Not fixed in any version.

3D in 2D areas

Due to the way 2D-to-3D shifts work, by attaining sufficient height and/or simply boosting in the right place, the player can skip many transitions, playing 2D areas in 3D. Two are noted below:

Windmill Isle Act 2

By getting to the broken bridge leading to the final 2D section and climbing the spiral of Spinners, the player can perform an Air Boost into the middle of the area, skipping the transition and playing through the area in 3D.

Not fixed in any version.

Rooftop Run Act 1

After the section where the player needs to defeat enemies to lower a pulley, the player must walk back in the 2D section, and skirt the edge of the house's rooftop. They can make it into 3D in the 2D area, or take a large shortcut through non-solid level geometry.

Not fixed in any version.

Sonic the Werehog

Go through surfaces

The player should perform the Rolling Kick Combo with -- (360)/-- (PS3), but cut it off with a shield as Sonic finishes the spinning part of the last attack. Sonic will, depending on the player's timing, either fall through the floor or walk through the wall in front of him.

Not fixed in any version.

Grab after uppercut

By performing a midair --/-- or --/-- combo, the player will be able to grab things in the air after an uppercut.

Not fixed in any version.

Flying Werehog

If Unleashed is activated and the combo --- (360)/--- (PS3) is infinitely used, the Werehog will be able to fly between certain pitfalls. This is ideal for speedruns.

Not fixed in any version.

Disappearing Sandra

After completing her quiz in Shamar, Sandra will disappear and cannot be found anywhere again, preventing the player from receiving Art Book 40.

Fixed in the Chun-nan Adventure Pack DLC. If Sandra had already disappeared when installing the DLC, she will return.
