Boss
Two player mode:
Use controller two to play as the Hero characters, such as Sonic, Tails,
Knuckles, etc. This does not work with Doom's Eye. It also works with Maria.
Note: They cannot pick up guns.
Character choices:
In just about all of the stages you have three choices: to help the Dark
side, yourself, or the Hero side whenever you have someone with you and it is
not a Boss fight. To change the character you want with you, press Start. There
will most likely be three selections: Dark, Neutral, and Hero. Press Left or
Right to highlight a character or ring in the middle. Press X to select the
highlighted character. That character will remain with you until your next run
in with the other character. You can then simply press Start and do the process
again. Note: You cannot select a Hero partner if there is an "X" over the Hero
side. You cannot select a Dark partner if there is an "X" over the Dark side.
Another way to do this is to use the D-Pad on the controller during the game.
Press Right for the Hero character, Left for the Dark character, and Down for
the Neutral character.
Yuji Naka reference:
Sometimes the GUN soldiers will say odd things. One of the things that they
say is "Mr. Yuji Naka is all right." Yuji Naka is the creator of the Sonic
series.
Fall through floor:
On the stage where you first see Gloria on the space station you will fall
through the floor after you get very far in the level. This happens in one of
the hallways between rooms
Extra ammunition:
Go to the stage were you have to kill the Chaos. There is a room near two
GUN soldiers and a Chaos that has two weapon boxes in it. Break both boxes, then
go in the room with the GUN soldiers. Go back and the boxes will be back. You
can repeat this as many times as desired.
Poseur Co-Op
When playing with a character from the Hero side, a second player can
control that person, but they cannot use any weapons or cars.
Choose Your Morals
Shadow's dark-light leaning is determined by his ability to hurt or heal
enemies (note this is not the IGN board phenomenon). You definitely need the
Heal Gun to carry this through. When attacking soldiers (stages include
Westopolis and Death Ruins), simply heal them right before they die and you will
gain massive evil points for simply attacking them.
For good points, all you need to do is heal them 9without attacking). For each
action of healing, Shadow gains one hero point, whether or not the target is
wounded.
Samurai Blade:
The Samurai Blade has a low amount of slashes in level 1, but it kills in one
hit due to a shock-wave that comes out of the blade. Like all swords you cannot
ride on it, making its use difficult in levels such as Black Comet and Prison
Island.
Hyper Shadow:
In order to turn into Hyper Shadow you first need to complete all the endings
for all the stories. This includes the good and evil storylines. Once you do
this, you will unlock the Last Story. Choose the Last Story and you will begin a
level called The Last Way after some intermission sequences. Once you complete
this and reach Black Doom, there will be an intermission sequence, at the end of
which Shadow takes the Chaos Emeralds and turns into Hyper Shadow.
To defeat Devil Doom as Hyper Shadow, hold Square to charge Chaos Spear and hit
it numerous times. Get lots of rings and you will survive.
Save lives in Expert mode:
When playing in Expert mode, you must go through all of the levels one at a time
without a break or mission, and on a harder difficulty. You are given five
lives, any lives you pick up, but cannot continue. If you lose all your lives,
you must start all the way back on the first level. However, if you find
yourself in a dangerous position (for example, falling off a cliff), press Start
before the game registers the loss of the life, then select "Quit". At the
Expert mode menu, select "Resume". At the cost of starting at the beginning of
the level you were on, you will not lose that life and resume with whatever
total you had previously.
Recommended weapons:
The weapons in order of best to worst are as follows.
Shadow Rifle
Samurai Blade
Satellite Laser
Omochao Gun/Heal Cannon (Heal Cannon recommended for The Doom)
Chaingun (most common in Gun Fortress)
Refractor (Elite Black Arms Soldiers)
Homing Missile Launcher (Missile Mech or Soldiers in GUN Fortress)
Worm Launcher (Giant Worms)
Spaz Shotgun (anywhere but level 1)
Egg Vacuum
Death Ruins: Black Bull:
Do not bother using the homing attack; it is too hard to get to, and it is
difficult to keep hitting him like that. Instead, defeat the two Black Arms
soldiers and collect the guns from them. Then, head for the spring and use it.
Move forward a bit so you do not start grinding the rails. Pass Black Bull in
your jump, and rapidly shoot a little before you level with its eye. Repeat the
strategy, and if you fill your Hero gauge, activate Chaos Control and finish him
off. This seems easier than to grind around him and shooting him every time
around, which wastes ammunition on a lot of missed shots.
Defeating Black Bull:
Use the following trick to defeat Black Bull in Death Ruins. Kill lots of
soldiers. Then after getting the desired number of bullets, shoot him. When you
get Chaos Control, use it and shoot him rapidly. The shots will keep the Hero
meter full and you will kill him.
Renegade as name
Do fifteen Dark missions and two Hero missions. When Eggman or Doom's Eye speaks to you, will be refereed to as ''Renegade".
Hyper Shadow
In order to turn into Hyper Shadow you first need to complete all the endings for all the stories.
This includes the good and evil storylines. Once you do this, you will unlock the Last Story.
Choose the Last Story and you will begin a level called The Last Way after some intermission sequences.
Once you complete this and reach Black Doom, there will be an intermission sequence, at the end of which
Shadow takes the Chaos Emeralds and turns into Hyper Shadow.
Character choices
In just about all of the stages you have three choices: to help the Dark side, yourself, or the Hero side
