Jungle Joyride is known for its beautiful scenery and challenging water sections. Sonic's speed is affected by water, so knowing when to boost and when to jump is crucial.

- Water Sections: Sonic's speed is reduced in water. Use the Boost to skim across the surface or jump over large bodies of water.
- Vine Grinding: You'll encounter sections where Sonic grinds on vines. These often have branching paths.
- Waterfalls and Currents: Navigate powerful waterfalls and currents that can push Sonic off course. Use Quick Step to adjust.
- Enemy Ambushes: Expect more enemies in unexpected places, often requiring quick Homing Attacks to maintain momentum.
- Hidden Sun Medal: After a long water-skimming section, look for a series of springs that lead to a high platform with a Sun Medal.
Medal Count: 5 Sun Medals. Many are found on higher paths or require precise jumps over water hazards.
