Instruction Manual Description
Use Sonic's Spin Dash Attack to crash through marble barriers and propel Sonic up steep hills as he explores this ancient city.
Glitches
- With Knuckles, you can get into Sonic's boss area in act 2. Use the blue spinning top to smash through the walls, then stand on the spikes, climb up the left wall and hit the stone face. Repeat this another two times and you're through. It's easier as Hyper Knuckles as you can glide faster and can stand on spikes without losing rings.
- Sometimes, Tails will not appear for the boss, causing you to die.
Badniks
- Mantis — Green mantis with pointy (sharp) legs.
- Turbo Spiker — A badnik with fake spikes that serve as a spring for Sonic.
- Bubbles — A blue, spike-wielding bubble.
