Big the Cat's story is a unique departure from the other characters, focusing entirely on fishing. His objective in each stage is to catch his frog friend, Froggy, who has swallowed a Chaos Emerald. Big's gameplay involves using his fishing rod to cast a line into the water, waiting for Froggy to bite, and then reeling him in. The fishing mechanics require patience and timing. You'll need to cast your line near Froggy, wait for the bobber to dip, and then reel him in by pulling the analog stick back and pressing the action button. Be careful not to break your line by reeling too fast or letting Froggy get too far away. His story provides a comedic interlude to the main plot, often involving him stumbling into major events while solely focused on finding Froggy. While different, mastering the fishing mechanics is key to completing his campaign.
