“This has gotta be another one of Eggman’s schemes!”
Sonic’s hunch proves to be correct. As soon as they
arrive at the island, they spot Dr. Eggman already waiting
for them. As Sonic confronts Eggman, he triumphantly
holds up a card. Sonic and Tails are shocked to see that
the card bears a picture of their friend, Amy Rose.
“Do you know what this is, Sonic?”
"I’ve sealed that little brat away inside this card!”
“Ha! Do you really think we’ll believe that?”
While Sonic simply brushes off Eggman’s supposedly
ridiculous story, the more scientifically-minded Tails takes
things more seriously.

time. Possessing the power to use the Chaos Emer-

Eggman and uncover the truth!
Sonic the Hedgehog
This hedgehog is the fastest living being in the universe.
He’s defeated Dr. Eggman to save the world numerous

Tails and Amy, have been mysteriously turned into Cards.
Now’s it’s a race to take down the nefarious Dr. Eggman
once and for all and free his friends!
knuckles the Echidna
The guardian of the Master Emerald, Knuckles is as
tough as they come. Unfortunately, the Master Emerald
has been stolen right out from under his nose and turned
into a Card by Dr. Eggman. Now this renowned echidna
must race to find the Master Emerald and take down the
evil mastermind behind this insidious plot.
Silver the Hedgehog
A mysterious young silver hedgehog, Silver is equipped
with psychic powers that allow him to propel items

Silver really knows is that he is searching for someone…
but for whom, and more importantly, why? Shrouded in
mystery, Silver begins to chase after Dr. Eggman to find
the clues that will unlock his quest.

In typical Sonic The
Hedgehog fashion,
Sonic™ Rivals'
stages are played out
in Zones and Acts.
There are a total of
six Zones, with three
Acts for each Zone*.
Sometimes Boosting isn’t enough to stay in front of your
rival. When push comes to shove, engage in some old
fashioned attacking! Attacking will temporarily knock your
opponent to the ground or stun them, causing them to
lose Rings while allowing you to get ahead or jump to
new heights. To attack, get right behind your rival and

Forest Falls: Don’t let the lush scenery, grassy platforms,
and cascading waterfalls fool you. Forest Falls is brim-
ming with danger, including steep drop offs, large loops,
and plenty of Eggman’s robot minions.
Colosseum Highway: Amid the majestic columns and
pillars this perilous track is littered with pitfalls, traps, and
steep hills. Twisting corkscrews and Boost hoops provide
a non-stop white-knuckle experience.
Sky Park: This theme park gone wild is comprised of a
thrill-a-minute rollercoaster, complete with twists, turns,
loops, drops, and even stuffed teddy bears designed to
slow your racer down. Use springs, dash panels, and the
strongman platform to propel your character through the
atmosphere while staying one speed boost ahead of the
competition.
rings
Although finishing first is the ultimate goal in Sonic™
Rivals, making sure you have at least one ring is critical
to staying alive and avoiding respawn delays. Large
collection of Rings provides score bonuses and special
awards.
Crystal Mountain: Icy crystals, snow banks, slippery
tracks, and freezing waters comprise this winter won-
derland. If the blizzards don’t slow your racer down, the
brittle ice barriers will. Make sure to hop in the bobsled to
barrel down the track at death defying speeds.
Death Yard: Death Yard is a dry, deserted wasteland filled
with razor sharp spike beds, corkscrews, gaping pits, and
Boost hoops that must be navigated correctly to stay in
the game. These tracks have so many dips, twists, turns,
and loops, that dizzy doesn’t even begin to describe what
your racer will be feeling when he reaches the finish line.
Meteor Base: Not much is known about Dr. Eggman’s
top-secret base hidden deep within a meteor shower, but
you can bet it’s filled with hot, bubbling molten lava and
some of Eggman’s fiercest robot goons.

boosts
power-ups
Boosting can give you extra speed, distance, and/or air
by interacting with special environmental objects — such
as logs, rocks, poles, and more — and allow you to gain
the upper hand on your rival. Oftentimes, correctly per-
forming a Boost leads to special Power-Ups or shortcuts.
When a Boost opportunity presents itself, a context-sensi-
tive button icon will appear over the environmental object.
In order to successfully pull off a Boost maneuver, you
must quickly press a Boost button before the opportunity
is lost. There are two types of Boosts: Air and Speed, and
the context-sensitive button will help tell you which is the
best one to use.
Pick up Power-Ups as you
speed across the track and
use them to temporarily
stop your rival in his tracks.
Power-Ups can be found
hovering in the air. To pick
up a Power-Up, simply run over it.
Each Power-Up has two uses: Offensive and Defensive.
If you are ahead of your rival, the Power-Up will be used
defensively. If you are behind your rival, it will be used
offensively. Offensive Power-Ups are generally used as
projectile weapons that shoot down the track until they
hit your rival or an obstruction. Defensive Power-Ups are
generally used as dropped weapons that sit on the track
until your rival runs into them.
Note: You are not required to match the context-sensitive
button displayed for each Boost — it just gives tips!
