Aztec Forest Shortcut
To get to the Frog and the Emerald as Tails in one step do as fallows. After riding the trolly to the Aztec Forest you should be standing up high on a platform overlooking the forest. If you stand on the edge and look down and to the left you will see two trees sticking out of the canopy that are close together. Fly toward the trees and land next to the one that is closest to the ledge you jumped from. You should be standing on top of the canopy. Walk around the first tree until you fall through the canopy and end up right by the emerald and the frog.
Bigs Lures
Big the Cat has four lures hidden in the game, and you need all of them to get all his Emblems. They are:
1 - In the sewer of Station Square.
2 - Hidden in the Icecap level.
3 - Aboard the Egg Carrier.
4 - Hidden in the jungle by Bigs House. From his place, take the second path on the left. Follow it to the fork and go to the right. Once past the first river youll find it.

Easier Emblems with Big
On the levels where you have to catch 1000g of fish, catch at least one 500g fish then catch Froggy. Froggy weighs 500g and you will complete the stage with 1000g.
Easy Catch
In any level with Big the Cat, when you are fishing and a fish bites the bait, press Down on the joystick and the fish will hook. Note: you can also find this in "Instruction" under Big. It will be "fishing tip 1".
Flip Both Flippers
In Casinopolis in the pinball machines, both flippers can be flipped at once by pressing the A button.
Free Rings
As Tails, go to any place with grass and look for a dark green weed. Wack it with your tail. If you are lucky, a ring or extra life will appear.
Hint
An easy way to get into the Casino as Sonic is to hit the ball above the Casino doors.
Knuckles Glitch
Go to the mystic ruins with knuckles and go to the forest by using the mine cart near the waterfall. When you get to the forest glide across to the big structure in the middle and go to the eggman door that leads to the place where e-102 does the final egg level. jump on top of the door and walk past the yellow fence (while still on top of the door). you should drop into the place behind door. shift the camrea angel using the left and right triggers until you can see the front of the eggman door then walk over to it making sure you are in the middle of the door. use the d-pad to look in first person veiw and you shold be inside the door. to get out go to the oppisite end of the place behind the door (away from the eggman door) and tap b b b or x x x to do a tripple punch. you will fall off the edge and lose a life but it is worth it.
