To play as Super Sonic you must get all the Gold Emblems in Mission mode. Then, a Chaos Emerald will be selectable as one of Sonic's Extreme Gears. Choose it, and Super Sonic will appear. Super Sonic goes ridiculously fast, and has all three types (Speed, Power, Flight). However, he has some disadvantages. For example, you will lose rings rather than air. This means that sharp turns and boosting/attacking will make you lose rings. Once you have lost all your rings, you will revert back to normal Sonic. To change back, simply acquire one or more rings.

Defeating Babylonian God (Genie)
To defeat this giant, play as Sonic. He has three lives. To catch him, get a good head start. He is very quick. Do not make a mistake or it will take awhile to catch up. When you start, you must catch up to him using the turbulence streams and the grind rails. It helps to make quick work of him. Also, use the ramps and try to make the most tricks you can, but do not take any unnecessary risks. After you start getting close to him, use your boost to go through the lamp-like object below him, and he will let out a cry. Then the stage will look like a digital place for a period of time. After it returns to normal, repeat the process. After the third strike you deliver, it will quickly turn into a race. If you are near the finish line, use the turbulence and your boosts at any costs. When you win you will see an intermission sequence showing what the legendary treasure really is.

Babylon Garden: Shortcut
Go past the first ramp and first turn. You will see boosters. Ride into one and you will see a small ramp. Make sure your jump is at maximum without slowing down, and hold the [Analog-stick Up]. If done correctly, you will ride the turbulence that will shortly be created by a jet.

Another shortcut is near the end of the track. When you see the end of the turbulence created by the jet, you will see a ramp. Go forward and make your jump maximum without slowing down, and hold the [Analog-stick Up]. If done correctly, you will cut half of the automated trail and reach the top faster.

Egg Factory: Avoid losing speed
Instead of losing speed when hitting the lava, boost through it to keep your velocity.

Egg Factory: 100 rings
Go past the part where you are blown into the air by a vent. You should see a machine with spinning cocoon-like objects. Go to the inside of it, and you should see a capsule with 100 rings in it.

Green Cave: Shortcut
Go near the end of the stage. When you see the first ramp, get your jump to maximum height without slowing down. Make sure you are going at maximum speed and hold the [Analog-stick Up]. If done correctly, you will hit three spider webs and cut off part of the track.

Metal City: Shortcut
When you first begin, get a good start. Try to get an "Unbelievable" and you have perfected the first part. When you get to the first ramp, try to get your jump at maximum without slowing down, and hold the [Analog-stick Up]. If done correctly, you will be on a platform in the air. Another way to do this is go past the first ramp. As soon as you hit the ground, ride someone's turbulence and do a jump off it. If done correctly, you will hear a glass breaking sound and be on the platform.

Metal City (night): Shortcut
When you first begin the race, go as fast as you can. Then, get the highest jump possible without going any slower. Also you can do one trick but it is easy to make a mistake; do not attempt it unless you are skilled at angles. If done correctly, you will have jumped on a platform that leads through a small part of the stage. The Power attribute is best here, because there are many obstacles unless you are skilled at dodging.

Red Canyon: 100 rings
To get 100 rings automatically, when you get to the waterfall at the end of the stage, look to your left. You will see a ring box that holds 100 rings that will go into your bank and give you a level 3 Boost and Attack.

Red Canyon: Shortcut
There is a good shortcut that can only be used by flying characters. When you get to the first river stream with the waterfall ahead, go past the speed and power signs. Then there will be a path you can take to go forward or left. Go forward and turn left to see a booster. Get on it and do not turn left or right. You will then see three big looking rings (accelerators) and you will be taken to the Ferris wheel-looking object in a short amount of time.

Sand Desert: Shortcut
There is a straight shortcut that only power characters can use. When the race starts, you will be in the desert. Go straight ahead to the big coin-looking object and travel through it. You will be underground and be propelled in the air at the end of the tunnel. This is the time where you can do tricks. After you fall, you will be in front of the next ramp. The second shortcut is when you enter a place that looks like an ancient temple. Go straight ahead and knock the big rocks out of your way. The last shortcut requires perfect timing. When you go past the rocks you will see giant stone soldiers. One of them will be discolored (darker). Airslide into it and you will break through. Any other statue except that can not be broken.

Splash Canyon: Shortcut
As Tails in level 2 of the Hero storyline, there is a shortcut in a waterfall. After you make the first jump, when you are turning around the bend there is a waterfall. If you go through the beginning of it, you will find a fly kicker and accelerators.

Faster boosts and stronger attacks
Depending on what level your attacks are, they will last for a longer time and have a paralyzing effect. At level 1, you will have a short boost and weak attacks; and no paralyzing. At level 2, you will have a medium sized boost and stronger impact on enemies; and short Paralysis. At level 3, you will have the longest sized boost and a powerful paralyzing attack on your enemies.

Automated trails
To use automated trails to your advantage, wait for when the Analog-stick spinning part begins. When you spin it, it fills your air gauge. However if you keep spinning it beyond that, the speed meter will go faster up to a certain point.

Turbulence
To use turbulence effectively, wait for it to appear and ride on it. After you see arrows on the side, move towards it to gain speed and air. Also, it is an effective way to get in position to pass and hit an opponent.

Trick sets
Every character has three sets of tricks that can be done. To see all three sets you must use the skates, boards, and motorcycles.

Voice announcer
When you play as Shadow, first perform a few tricks. If you listen closely, you can hear the announcer say "She has made a perfect landing!" or "She landed perfectly and has taken advantage of the speed boost."

Glitch: Wrong dialogue
Before the Dark Desert race, there is an intermission sequence showing Storm holding a chip-looking object. When everyone starts to read it, Storm will say "It's about the Babylon treasure from our ancient ancestors.", but it reads "It's about the Babylonian treasure from our ancient ancestors."
