Sonic Rush/Water Palace

Act 1
Begin the level by running. Use the ramp to try and get over the water. ''If you miss the ledge, go on to 1. If you hit it, go on to 2.''

1. Run as fast as possible past the gigantic 360 loop. Hitchhike on the spiky-balloon. When it says 2, leap off into the speed boost. (If it gets to 0, it explodes, so beware!)Get onto the water blaster, then get onto the ledge with the enemy. Go on to 3.

2. Blast upward on the water-blaster. Beat the enemy, and take the spring to the loop. Now run down the water slide and get to the water blaster. Go onto the ledge with the enemy. Go on to 3.

3. Beat the enemy, and take the ramp into the water. Take the spring to the ledge. If you miss it, go on to 4. Quickly beat the enemy there. Get onto the second spring. Run up the wall to the speed boost. Take the speed boosts to the spring, onto the skating platform. Slide all the way down the waterslide. Beat both enemies then go onto the moving platforms. ''If you miss the platforms, go on to 6. Otherwise, go on to 5.''

4. Take the spring upside-down. Kill the jellyfish if you want to. Bounce on the spring and get an air bubble. Then run upside-down and kill the jellyfish. Blast upward onto the moving platforms. ''If you miss the plaforms and keep on going in the water, go on to 6. Otherwise, go on to 5.''

5. Jump from the platforms onto the ledge. Quickly defeat the enemy. Get to the checkpoint. Go upside-down, and take the spring to the next floating platform. ''If you fall off the platform, go on to 7. '' Get onto another moving platform. Kill the enemy on the ledge, then go into the water. Grab the invincibility. Go on to 8.

6. Run through the speed boosts to the springs. Get to the checkpoint and another speed boost. Go on to 7.

7. Bounce through the springs past the special generator. KO the enemy, and go into the fan. ''If the fan takes you upward, go on to 7.5. If it takes you downward, stay on 7.''

7.5 Run as fast as possible through everything you see. If you see a countdown going 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, you're running out of breath. If you make it up the wall into the air, you're safe. Bounce onto the skating platform. Fly to the enemy, and go down the slope. Get onto the next skating platform. Take it to the spring to the next one. Now run down the wall and down the water-slide. Run on top of the water, then go down to the next checkpoint.

Chaos Emerald
Use the generator to the SPECIAL STAGE screen. Tap the screen. Grab the first row of rings, from right to left. Grab the second. The third has some spikes where rings would be, so you'll need to skip past the spikes. Do another row left to right, then grab the balloon in the middle. Tap 1,2,3,4,5. Grab the row alternating between far right and middle right. Next, do something just like that, but don't touch the spikes. Get the balloon and hit 1,2,3,4,5,6. Next grab the rows on the right, left, right. Then go through the spike barrier and get the rings on the left. Avoid the sets of enemies on the middle and the left. There is a total of 172 rings up to this point. If you have 140+, you'll move on to the next half. The rest coming soon
