How to unlock the Super Sonic achievement

    This achievement is one of the harder ones on the game but definitely not impossible. When in the Games mode click on the Sonic the Hedgehog to load the game needed to be played on to get the achievement.

    The aim is to collect 7 Chaos Emeralds which can be collected by hopping through a big coin which drops every few levels or so (need to collect coins in order for it to appear though). Once in the bonus stage simply collect all the coins (there may be a time limit but if so I never noticed) and an Emerald is yours. This needs to be repeated 7 times in order to get the achievement.

    What makes this achievement hard to get is that it takes a while to do it (10-15 minutes) and staying alive for that long becomes difficult as the levels progress. On Level 8 (the last one) you'll have multiple enemies throwing a variety of bombs and jolts that alongside the coins now moving on the stage can be tricky. It is however possible with practise. After a few tries I was able to save up my lives and only lost them on the last couple of levels.

    Once you get to Level 9 the difficulty resets, meaning Level 9 is the equivalent of Level 1 all over again. Set the target of getting on to Level 9 and you should be alright, I got the achievement on Level 14 or so where it started to get hard again. I did get every coin I could see though so I recommend trying to do that otherwise the chaos emeralds will take longer to get.

    SycomaniaaI got to level 18 with 30k and 5 lives left over and the game just ended. WTF. Oh I got the achievement on my first try though. It was really easy. Even though my first 5 powerups were running boots.

    First, you must go into the games mode and select Sonic the Hedgehog. The aim of this game is to get rings and avoid the spikes and bombs as you collect rings. After some time (or rings?), a big ring appears which takes you to a bonus stage. Within the bonus stage, you must collect all the rings. When you do, you get a chaos emerald. When you collect 7 emeralds, the achievement is yours.

    To start, I chose Shadow the Hedgehog. Next, I followed up with sweeping left to right motions across the court, not necessarily going for every single ring. The sweeping motion keeps the spikes spread out, and paces the time it takes for you to get rings. I noticed that more 1ups appeared when I took my time and made it look like I needed help. Be sure to stay on the outsides and bottom as well in case bombs appear. What I mean by that is, the game starts with forming groups of 3 rings, then groups of 4 as you progress, then groups of 5, and finally by the 8th (and every other divisble-by-8 level) level groups of 5 rings that move around the court. Well sometimes, instead of the appropriate grouping of rings, one of the rings is replaced by a stationary bomb that outlasts the grouping of rings, so it needs to be avoided in order to get all the rings.

    JUST PLAY CAUTIOUSLY, even if you have many lives. Don't try going for every single ring if it's too dangerous, especially when the robots start launching their spikes without hesitation. Just swing around the court in sweeping left to right movements to dodge, and collect what you can as you do so.

    Doing this, I got the final emerald around level 14 or 15. Trying this strategy I got the achievement on my first try, versus just going for rings which I lost about 6 times before switching strategies.

    Good luck, and extra good luck going for the AAA achievement X(

    terrett101Worked perfectly, got it on my second attempt. I'd definitely recommend the cautious approach, there really is no hurry to get all the rings available. My only addition would be to move in boxes when necessary, i.e. up, across and back down closest to the camera. This is obviously more dangerous when there are bombs being thrown.

    WiznyattI have a hard time being cautious but just to add some notes....after several plays I think I have determined at least one thing.

    1) Clearing ten sets of rings will advance the level. I know that the early levels if you get 10 groups of 3 or 4 rings on each level it advances to the next.

    ( This must be done in Games mode NOT IN Superstars mode)
    Go to Games mode on the main menu and choose sonic the hedgehog game. You have to collect coins while avoiding bombs and spiky balls. Once you collect enough coins a big coin will appear which will take you to a "bonus stage". The chaos emerald will appear once you collect all rings in the bonus stage. You have to survive enough to get to 7 bonus stages.

    My advice is that you take your time and DO NOT be greedy, if you think it's too risky to get a set o coins just let it go.
    Eventually lives, bubble shield and invincibility items will appear which will help you to stay alive. The difficulty progresses until level 8. After that it will be reset and progress again until level 16 (and so on).

    Aim to survive until level 16. You probably should get it before that. ( I got mine on level 14th and misses some coins ). On the last level the coins will be moving in the field. Do not risk you live to get them. They will eventually move close to you.
