Part 3

Find answers to frequently asked questions about Sonic the Hedgehog, including gameplay mechanics, level navigation, and potential inaccuracies in game guides.

Questions Answered:

Q. What are the differences between the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 versions of this game? Were any previous glitches fixed?

As of this update, there are no major gameplay differences or fixed glitches noted between the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. Some minor glitches might exist, and the 360 version features Achievements. Button references in this guide are generalized to avoid confusion between versions.

Q. If I don't have enough Rings to buy an upgrade after completing the Episode and all Town Missions, what do I do?

If you lack sufficient Rings after completing the story and town missions, you must replay the last few levels in Episode Mode. For example, Sonic can revisit Aquatic Base, Shadow can revisit Dusty Desert, and Silver can revisit Kingdom Valley. This is also how to rewatch the credits via Episode Select.

Q. Do I have to complete all of the Town Missions in Episode Mode?

No, not all town missions are mandatory, but some are essential. Talking to NPCs in town will provide clues for progression.

Q. How do I find Town Missions or Silver Medals in the Town Areas after I complete each Episode?

Return to Episode Select to access the Town Areas. Each town has two gates leading to other town areas, but some gates will be closed upon returning. For Sonic and Shadow, you can travel between Forest and New City from Castle Town, but the direct gate between Forest and New City is closed. For Silver, you can travel between Castle Town and New City from Forest, but the gate between Castle Town and New City is closed.

Q. Where do I go in this town?

Look for NPCs with Orange Exclamation Points for clues, or follow the main walkthrough.

Q. The Xbox 360 Achievements listed on Xbox Live and GameFAQs/other places are confusing! Does Blue Phantom mean an unlockable Super Sonic in normal levels? Does Nights of Kronos unlock a new ending?

The confusing Achievement descriptions are due to poor writing. There is no Super Sonic in normal levels, nor is there a secret ending. The correct list and information are available in the guide's dedicated section.

Q. The booklet says this... where is it in the game?

This game was rushed, and several features mentioned in the booklet were removed before release. The guide clarifies these inaccuracies:

Pgs. 7, 12 and 13 (Custom Actions):

The booklet mentions Custom Actions having three levels, using an Action Gauge, being upgraded with Chaos Drives/Light Cores, and having
