Walkthrough

Hero Story

Let's start out doing the Hero Story.

Metal City

Objective: Finish in the top 3!

Character: Sonic

Strategies

1. When nearing the first jump, charge up while tilting forward: if you launch right, you'll land on the higher platform above all the cars. If you fail, dodge the cars, then grind on the rail incoming on the right.
2. When nearing a drop after the dip in the track, stick to the left, as there will be a drop (where you can jump off of if you time it right) and an immediate split into two tunnels. The left has less cars.
3. Immediately after the tunnels there will be a jump on the left which will allow you to grind on a rail.
4. If you end up in fourth place, just try to catch up to the COM in third.
5. If you are the trickster sort, the jumps at the beginning and near the end are good places to rack up on air on your skills.
6. Try to take full advantage of the Speed type shortcuts in this level and you should finish in at least second place.
7. Word of warning: Since Sonic isn't a Power type, whatever you do, never use the right tunnel. EVER! Since so many cars go through that tunnel, you'll constantly get hit and slow down, possibly causing you place.

Splash Canyon

Objective: Finish in the top 3!

Character: Tails

Strategies

1. Once you see the Grinding Rail immediately turn left and charge up to use Air Ride.
2. If you accidenly fall from Air Ride before you get to the ramp, charge up once you've gotten near the Trick Ramp and let it go cause there's a platform above.
3. If you didn't succeed the first Air Ride and charge up jump, that's okay because before you ride in the waterfall you'll see a lot of water dropping to the ground so go into it and be prepared to charge up to do Air Ride.
4. After you're done with the second Air Ride/riding through waterfall you'll see a ramp for you to do Air Ride so go ahead and do it.
5. The last shortcut for this stage, after you've gone through the third Air Ride/normal path you'll see a Trick Ramp charge up to get to the higher platform rather than taking the regular path.

Egg Factory

Objective: Defeat Storm! (Finish in 1st Place)

Character: Knuckles

Strategies

1. You know that jump that if you don't do anything you'll just die because you didn't do any tricks or didn't charge up your jump enough to get to the platform anyway when you are a few feet away from the Trick Ramp charge up the jump let the button go once you're on the Trick Ramp, the reason why you want to do this is there's a platform above the lower one.
2. Finally the first Power shortcut anyway when you see the lava falling on the ground you'll go to the left go forward a bit more until you see a shortcut you know what to do go through it.
3. This shortcut is for every character type. After you've seen those machines going in circles you'll see a shortcut leading to the left go through it.

Green Cave

Objective: Defeat Wave! (Finish in 1st Place)

Character: Tails

Strategies

1. The first Flight shortcut lets get started, after you've taken tyhe first sharp turn you'll see the sight that says Flight you know what to do go toward it and remember charge up your jump and use Air Ride once you're off ground.
2. After you've taken the ride on the worm you'll see a ramp charge up and use Air Ride!
3. This shortcut is for every type of character after you've done what ever you did you'll see a Trick Ramp charge up your jump and let it go, also this shortcut is a LOT different than the others it'll bounce you on three webs.
4. This shortcut is only if you failed the web bounce, you'll see a ramp that's leaning to the right side once you've gotten off it use Air Ride.

Sand Ruins

Objective: Defeat Jet! (Finish in 1st Place)

Character: Sonic

Strategies

1. From the immediate start there will be a split into the left and the right: there is no difference, but the right is preferred.
2. Immediately after the first jump, head left and jump onto the grind rail.
3. If you want to move on fast, jump right at the peak of the first grind rail, and you'll land on the second rail taking you past the sand-fall.
4. The giant temple is not so hard to navigate if you know where you're going. Stick left, and jump onto the grind rail. Do NOT jump onto the second rail. Instead, ride on and stick to the easier path (it's faster as well).

Babylon Garden

Objective: Defeat Jet once and for all! (Finish in 1st Place)

Character: Sonic With Blue Star II

Strategies

1. After the first jump, there will be a wall-jump to a rail on the right.
2. At the three-path junction, take the left path.
3. At first, you can not jump on the sides of the turbulence, but on the 2nd and 3rd laps, you can use jump on the edges to speed yourself up.
4. If you are not first and someone is ahead of you, you can use their turbulence immediately after the flight to jump through the roof.
5. If you don't, you can take the grind rail beyond the path right in front.

Congratulations! You have beaten Hero mode! Now it's time for Babylon mode!

Babylon Story

This story IS a lot harder than Hero Story the reason why is that in every race you gotta come in 1st Place and the tracks are harder so I hope these strategies are good for you. Enjoy!

Night Chase

Objective: Show Sonic What You're Made of! (Finish in 1st place)

Character: Jet

Strategies

1. When you see the first ramp charge up your jump because there's a platform above.
2. If you didn't succeed that jump you'll see a ramp on the left side, after you grinded for a second you'll see another ramp if you want to take it make sure you jump to the left side or you'll fall off.
3. There are a lot of cars so be careful.

Red Canyon

Objective: Defeat Amy! (Finish in 1st Place)

Character: Wave

Strategies

1. After you've went through your first Trick Ramp you'll see a ramp you know what to do fly.
2. Once you've dropped from the lagoon you'll see the ramp then fly.
3. After you've ridden on the water (the one you get to control your character) for one second and make sure you go on the rock anyway when you come down you'll see the box so go get it.

Ice Factory

Objective: Leave Eggman Robo Behind! (Finish in 1st Place)

Character: Storm

Strategies

1. There are some sharp turns so make sure to do Air Slide.
2. When you see the grinding rail make sure to go on that machine so you can take a Power shortcut.
3. The 100 Ring Power-Up is on the right side of that big machine that goes in circles.
4. Once you've seen the grinding rail when you have to go on a sideways trick ramp get ready to break a block of ice also a 100 Max Air Power-Up is in the Power shortcut.

White Cave

Objective: Finish in 1st Place!

Character: Jet

Strategies

1. Once you've see the first trick Ramp charge up because there's a platform above.
2. After you have gone through the ramp you'll see a grinding rail you know what to do jump and grind on it.
3. There are some sharp turns so be careful not to fall.
4. After you've gone on the bug and after you've gotten past that turn go to the edge and immediately jump on the grinding rail.

Dark Desert

Objective: Win the World Grand Prix! (Finish in 1st Place)

Character: Jet

Strategies

1. Once you've gotten into that big room go in the middle of the room and after you've see that wall ahead there is a grinding rail so go on to grind on it.
2. After you've through the chamber thing you'll see a grinding rail so go ahead and grind on it.

Sky Road

Objective: Run From Eggman Robo! (Finish in 1st Place)

Character: Wave

Strategies

1. There are some sharp turns so be careful not to fall.
2. After you've taken the first sharp turn you'll see a Trick Ramp ahead and make sure to charge up the jump because there's a turbulence above that makes you miss a sharp turn. Note: This shortcut is a really important one to get ahead so make sure to get on the turbulence.

Note: Sorry I don't know any shortcuts for Flight characters so email me and I might know then.

Babylon Guardian

Objective: Beat the Guardian!

Character: Sonic

Strategies

1. This level is very easy just try to hit the bottle under him before you've gone through all the laps.
2. Their is only one shortcut for every type so the Speed one is on the left side of the course and don't worry you can't miss it.

Great job you beat Story Mode!
