~You now have to split your party into 2 teams before leaving the room.
This room is you stronghold as well, so you can back here to heal your party
as you pass by later.
~Once you've done, you will control Sonic team ahead. Follow the passage,
take the Chao Egg in the corner then exit through the upstairs door.
~Afterwards, you control Tails team from the same spot as Sonic. Now use
the door next to the way you start. Next room, examine the chest on the
left for Rubber Gloves, Health Seed, Cure All Spray. Check the machine
at the bottom of the chest for a scene. Obtain Weapon Part.
#= Metropolis
~Back to Sonic. Move left and climb the wall with Knuckles to get some
rings and Chao Egg up there. Make sure you also take the items from the
chest below which contains Swift Boots, Ring of Life, and Grapple Claws.
~Back to the street, go North-East area through the only path you got.
Also check the small space on the left surrounding by a Gun Pawn, there's
a Chao Egg there. Climb the red wall on the right for Chao Egg. Explore the
road behind the airbase for a Speedy Sneaker.
~Head up to the airbase, climb to upper area with climb.

Rock Salt, Health Root, POW Gum.
~Take the exit on the right side to leave.
#= Metropolis

What you gonna do for this puzzle is just press the colour switch according
to the lights. For the red colour switch, you can reach by flying from the
yellow switch. Press the operator to start it when you're ready.
~Once the escalator has been on, climb to the top for some rings. Now fly
to the tower in the middle of the map, and from here you could fly to many
different spots to get more Chao Eggs and items. There are 4 directions are
available from the tower. If you eventually come to the bottom right area,
you can always return to the underground and back up to the upper area.
~Side Mission: The Search for Omega
From the middle tower, select the fly to the left and it will get you to
a room. Enter the room and defeat some enemies to rescue E-123 Omega. He will
become a part of your party now.
~Make your way back out at the top exit of the map from the underground,
move left and go up the slope. Check the chest at the end for Weapon Part.
~After the scene, new destination appears as the star shown on the map.
Back to the bottom right area through the underground passage, enter the
Eggman's lap for a scene.
#= Air Skiff
~Sonic team, head to top right and defeat the captain.
#= Metropolis
~Back to Tails team. Exit the lap, go down and head up the stairs near the
door to underground to find another Chao Egg.
~Through the underground again come to the top part of the map.
~Get up to the escalator and fly left to the tower again. From here jump down
once and use the fly action on the right, so you will reach to the cannon, and
a fight with Guardian Pawn and Laser Drone Mk.II is waiting. Defeat them to
proceed.
#= Angel Island
~Sonic team, you may explore the new area to obtain as many thing as possible.
~Don't miss the Chao Egg at the beginning which can be reach by a flying ally.
Check whether you have already obtained the Fess Chao which increases the
chance of getting rare and unique Chao from the eggs, equip it before you
take the eggs.
~Be sure you take everything on the map before you dash up the only ramp,
because once you did it you will be forced into the fights in a row.
~After defeating some Nocturne Hestaruses, the scene will back to Tails.
Just head back to the stronghold at the underground.
~Finally Tails catch up with Sonic. Now rearrange your team for the boss fight.
~BOSS: Imperator Ix, Nocturne Hastatus x2
The Nocturne Hastatus will revive after serveral rounds defeated, so I suggest
put all your moves on the Imperator first. Personally, I have included Cream
and Big in the fight, with Big spams his Lure Whip to keep Imperator Ix sleep,
he is almost useless in the fight (BTW I have maximized the Lure Whip level).
For Cream, perform her Refresh POW move to restore PP when necessory, the rest
just keep using their most powerful moves to end the battle fast. Needless to
say, you have to perform the actions well to avoid getting hit hardly or
perform fail attack.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 6: BLACK HOLE SUN
#= Metropolis Ground Zero
~Now Shade has joined the party.
~Check out the stars showing on the map to find the 3 generators. Activate all
the generators to proceed.
~Afterwards, a new star appears on the top right which is the Hazard Vault.
Now back to the stronghold at the bottom, bring an ally with Smash III (Amy).
~Enter the Hazard Vault. Move on to trigger a scene.
~BOSS: Egg Bot, Assault Drone MK. II x2
Kill the Assault Drone MK. II as soon as possible since the Egg Bot will
revive if his minions are not destroyed yet. BTW, Big's Lure Whip does work
with the Egg Bot as well.
~Obtain Dimensional Buffer. Smash the crates to get the last Chao Egg of this
place, also check the chest for Iron Claws, Cure All Spray, and POW Drink.
~Head back to the stronghold and speak with Tails.
