VERSION 1.0 IS HERE!!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I've been busy lately... when Sonic Riders came out I did get it and I found
enough time to finish Story Mode pretty quickly, but I just couldn't bother
with the rest of the game yet. Also I didn't have my own computer with me. But
now I am back for the Summer, at least a little while, and I have my computer
back and I had the time to catch up on this game, so why not write about it,
ehh?
This guide assumes you already know all the moves and how to properly take
character shortcuts and how to do trick jumps. If you do not know how to do
these things, please consult another guide.
Enjoy!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
1. What are Missions, Junk and Treasure?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Junk and Treasure are capsules with yellow diamonds floating above them found
in many Missions.
You get Missions by doing other things in the game and you can earn either a
bronze, silver or gold metal, here is briefly how to unlock the missions
(UNLOCK SPOILERS):
Two extra missions for each track (or EXTRA in the case of Jet):
Beat the first three missions with at least a Bronze metal.
Storm:
Metal City, Splash Canyon, Egg Factory, Green Cave, Sand Ruins and Babylon
Garden: Beat the Hero Story in Story Mode.
Digital Dimension: Beat the Babylon Story in Story Mode.
SEGA CARNIVAL: Get a Gold Metal in the Heroes Cup in Normal Race: World Grand
Prix by getting at least 48 points (at least four first places and one second
place).
Wave:
Night Chase, Red Canyon, Ice Factory, White Cave, Dark Desert, Sky Road and
Babylon Guardian: Beat the Babylon Story in Story Mode
SEGA ILLUSION: Get a Gold Metal in the Babylon Cup in Normal Race: World Grand
Prix by getting at least 48 points (at least four first places and one second
place).
Jet:
EXTRA 1, 2, 3 and 4: Beat all of Storm's and Wave's Missions (including the
SEGA track ones) with at least a Bronze Metal.
Junk comes in 5 colors, Green, Yellow, Red, Blue and Gray, Gray being the rare
junk with normally only one in each mission except Jet's, and Treasure is
Purple and can be either a broken board or a repair manual. The colors are
based on the color of the "cap" of the capsule. Isn't that cute, the junk and
treasure is the same color as the 6 main characters...
Anyway, there are specific missions where you need to collect certain amounts
of junk to get either a bronze, silver or gold metal, and some Storm and Jet
missions have the word "treasure" in their description and you can find the
capsule somewhere in that mission. I could look it up, but I do not know
exactly what treasure is in each mission so this guide will just tell you
where there is treasure, now what it is.
To see what Junk and Treasure you have, press Y (or I am assuming a different
button if you don't have a Gamecube) on the Mission Select Screen. As you can
see, there is Treasure A-D and Junks. Treasure A-D will show you what Treasure
you have, each broken board is paired up with a repair manual, and the last
column shows you how much Junk you have collected, you need to finish a
mission to collect junk.
And here is the cool part and one of the two reasons you should be grabbing
that Junk and Treasure! The repair manuals tell you how much of each kind of
junk it takes to repair a broken board. If you have that broken board, the
repair manual and enough junk, pressing A when you have the board selected
will give you the option to fix the board and then it's yours! You can get 4
boards you can't buy this way and of course there is a section about this.
And of course I must mention the second benefit for finding all of the junk is
getting Gold Emblems in those particular missions... you get a nice reward for
Gold Medaling the entire game, so keep at it!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
2. Helpful Moves and Tips
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A couple of things sort of explained in the instruction book, they are
important and I'll try to explain them better and some tips in general.
Air Sliding and Braking:
R and directional buttons is standard racing drifting and you get a burst of
speed at the end. If you don't want a boost of speed Brake instead to
gradually go around the curve.
Jumping:
Hold down A (or other button if you don't have a Gamecube), the longer you
hold A the stronger you jump but the more air you loose. Off of a ramp you
jump farther the closer you are to the edge of the ramp. When jumping off a
ramp flip around a lot and you will be scored on how well the tricks you did
were ranging from C which is bad to the rare XX, this score determines both an
Air and Speed bonus after landing.
Back and Forward Flip:
Press Back or Forward when jumping off a ramp to jump really far. Back gets
you higher up and Forward gets you farther. Different shortcuts and junks need
different tricks off ramps and it is not always obvious which one to do.
Type Specific Abilities:
Usually indicated by monitors, Blue Speed monitors mean grinding, Yellow
Flight monitors mean Air Riding and Red Power monitors mean Smashing Objects.
Type specific abilities allow you to take shortcuts that may have junk and
treasure in them and also refill your Air a little. Going through more than
one type specific thing will cause "Links" to appear which will give you an
increased Air bonus.
Grinding: Speed type
To grind a rail you need to jump either off the ground or a ramp to catch a
rail. A flashing blue light indicates the beginning of a rail and a red light
the end. If you see another rail near the end of the one you are on or in some
cases another rail near the one you are on you need to tap A twice to catch
the next rail and earn Links.
Air Riding: Flight type
You start flying through the air by either just going down a special ramp that
you don't even have to jump off of, it looks different than other level ramps
and has the Flight monitor in front of it, or sometimes you have to jump off a
ramp to catch a Flight Ring. Always you will have to catch Flight Rings to
continue on, when flying through the air press up or down to change your
course. You will float down slowly. If you do not catch Flight Rings you will
eventually fall. Catch a lot of Flight Rings to get a lot of Links.
Smashing Objects: Power type
Just run into objects to smash them. Smash a lot of things one after another
quickly to earn links. Some of the Power type shortcuts are very sneakily
hidden and are just indicated by different colored scenery.
Helpful Tips for Grabbing Junk and Treasure:
Junk is usually more a test of knowing how to use Flips, Type Abilities and
Maneuverability than it is of Speed. You should have plenty of time to
leisurely pick up Junk and Boosting just makes it harder to grab Junk.
Treasure is on the path you would take anyway if you are just trying to finish
a mission or get a Gold Metal, so Treasure tests whatever skills that
particular mission tests.
If Junk is on a curve, be careful Sliding through the curve, slowly go through
the curve, or don't even turn at all till you after you have grabbed the Junk.
It's better to fall of the course with the junk than stay on the course and
miss the Junk if you are going for a Gold Metal.
Junk can be sneaky and could be up high off a ramp, especially in Wave's and
Jet's Missions, so do Backwards Flips off ramps to make sure it's not hiding
up there.
In Wave and Jet Missions, if you see a lot of bombs with one opening, they are
probably guarding a path that has Junk. If they are on a ramp, that means you
probably must do a Flip off that ramp and the Bombs are there to try to stop
you from doing that.
And finally the best tip of all, get to know the levels like the back of your
hand and the specific shortcuts in each.

3. Junk Guide
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This is a guide to the junk missions (there are 12 junk in each mission) and
gives important info for each one including what junk the mission contains
(useful if you don't have enough for a specific board and want to go through a
mission just for a junk), where the junk is and what color it is, and other
info about the mission itself. Enjoy.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
3.a. Storm's Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Description:
Collect 6 or more pieces of junk before Storm appears.
Bronze Metal: 6 Junk
Silver Metal: 10 Junk
Gold Metal: 12 Junk
Basic, the Junk is pretty much either on the straight track and in the type
specific shortcuts.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
3.a.1. Metal City Mission 2 Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Character: Tails
Board: Yellow Tail
Time Limit: 1 minute
Junk Totals:
Green X 2
Yellow X 3
Red X 2
Blue X 4
Gray X 1
Notes:
Pretty easy to grab all 12 if you know how to use Flight type Rings and both
types of Flips. You might have to practice catching and taking the second set
of flight rings a little bit.
Walkthrough:
Junk 1 (Green): Straight ahead from the start before the first ramp.
Junk 2 (Yellow): On the ramp behind Junk 1, do a strong Forward Flip to land
on the shortcut track above. It's then straight ahead of you on this track.
Junk 3 (Red): The inside corner of the next right turn so hug the corner very
tightly.
Junk 4 (Blue) and 5 (Gray): Go off the first flight ramp and through the three
flight Rings, 4 is before Ring one and 5 is before the second one.
Junk 6 (Blue): At the two tunnels, it's in front of the right one.
Junk 7 (Red) and 8 (Blue): After the tunnel, on the right hand side just a
little past the train you will see a Flight monitor. There are two trick jump
ramps against the wall, use the first one to jump up and hit a Flight Ring,
Junk 7 is in front of the first Ring, to get 8 make sure to press up while
flying strongly to catch the next Ring so you can continue on to the third
Ring to grab 8.
Junk 9 (Yellow): Before the next right turn.
Junk 10 (Yellow): Very close to 9 in the inside corner of the curve.
Junk 11(Blue): Soon after grabbing 10, a little on the left side of the track.
Junk 12(Green): Do a strong Backward Flip off the next ramp to take the
shortcut route, you should land on it before the next ramp.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
3.a.2. Splash Canyon Mission 2 Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Character: Sonic
Board: Blue Star
Time Limit: 1 minute
Junk Totals:
Green X 2
Yellow X 4
Red X 2
Blue X 3
Gray X 1
Notes:
Pretty easy, make sure to quickly change rails to grab 7 and 8 which are the
most trouble.
Walkthrough:
Junk 1(Yellow): Straight ahead from the beginning.
Junk 2(Blue), 3(Red) and 4(Green): After the gentle curve, you will see a
grind rail against the right side of the track, catch it to grab an easy three
junks.
Junk 5(Yellow): Off the next ramp do a strong Forward Flip to land on the
upper shortcut track. The Junk is just before you hit the fast moving water.
Junk 6(Blue), 7 (Gray) and 8(Red): After the crazy water ride tosses you up in
the air, you will see the giant wheel thing stuck in the water and a Speed
monitor. It is a ramp, trick off it, you will have to aim a little, to land on
a rail. Junk 6 is on that rail, but think fast, to grab 7 and 8 at the end of
the rail you need to tap A twice to switch rails.
Junk 9(Blue): In front of the giant water wheel.
Junk 10(Green) and 11(Yellow): Both inside the crystal tunnel and easy to grab.
You can boost in here if you are level 2 or 3 to break through the crystals
easier.
Junk 12(Yellow): On the ramp at the end of the tunnel do a Backward Flip, out
of the waterfall a rainbow will appear you grind on and the last junk is on
the rainbow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
3.a.3. Egg Factory Mission 2 Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Character: Tails
Board: Yellow Tail
Time Limit: 1 minute 10 seconds
Junk Totals:
Green X 2
Yellow X 3
Red X 2
Blue X 4
Gray X 1
Notes:
This one actually is about medium difficulty or maybe verging on hard because
of having to think quickly to catch junks and a couple of junks like 6 and 7
that requires a very sharp right turn and good Flight type skills and Junk 8
that are easy to hit a speed booster and speed past.
Walkthrough:
Junk 1(Blue): After the first ramp it's on the far left hand side of the
tunnel.
Junk 2(Gray): After grabbing number 1 stay on that side of the tunnel, the
ledge coming up you can jump off of, Forward Flip off of it to the left to
catch a Flight Ring and the junk is in front of the second ring.
Junk 3(Green): In front of you after you went through the flight rings.
Junk 4(Yellow): After the U turn before the next ramp.
Junk 5(Red): Do a strong Forward Flip from the ramp behind number 4 to reach
the shortcut. The junk is to the right before the next turn, the right most
speed booster pad will send you directly into it.
Junk 6(Yellow) and Junk 7(Blue): After the heat thingy bounces you up in the
air, make a very sharp right toward a flight ramp. Air Ride, 6 is before the
first Flight Ring, 7 is in front of the second ring.
Junk 8(Green): After the lava curtain, take a sharp left and try to hit the
left most speed booster located at the first sharp left turn, the junk is in
the inner most corner of the second sharp left turn, hitting the left most
booster at the first turn should send you into it.
Junk 9(Blue): Just before you enter the room with the huge turning machine.
Junk 10(Yellow): Just before you leave the room mentioned above the normal way.
(Don't take the shortcut to the left where you get hit by the turning arms a
little)
Junk 11(Red): Just before the part where you are on the line ride or whatever
it's called... where you can twirl the joystick and fill up your air and you go
around the fireball with Eggman's face in it...
Junk 12(Blue): After the ride, it's to the right before the right turn.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
3.a.4. Green Cave Mission 2 Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Character: Knuckles
Board: Red Rock
Time Limit: 1 minute 5 seconds
Junk Totals:
Green X 4
Yellow X 3
Red X 2
Blue X 2
Gray X 1
Notes:
Pretty straightforward, but might need some practice to catch everything
correctly, especially 6-9 and 12.
Walkthrough:
Junk 1(Green) and 2 (Yellow): On the first large curve to the left in the
middle of the curve, so carefully go through it.
Junk 3(Green) and Junk 4(Red): After the curve straight ahead you will see a
Power Monitor, it's in front of an Arrow Sign that can be smashed to reveal a
shortcut. 3 is in front of the sign under the monitor, 4 is on the shortcut
path. This path is automated and you can twirl the control stick around to
gain Air.
Junk 5(Yellow): After the shortcut head to the right, the junk is in front of
the right path vine.
Junk 6(Blue): It's on top of the twisting vine, since the vine does twist, you
need to do small adjustments to stay on the correct path toward the junk and
try not to go very fast here.
Junk 7(Green): After riding on the ugly centipede thing after hitting the
first set of speed boosters, stay slightly to the right of the narrow path to
grab this one.
Junk 8(Yellow) and Junk 9(Gray): You will see another Power monitor to your
left, 8 is in front of the arrow sign, 9 is in the beginning of the blackberry
path to the right... isn't it fun smashing giant berries? Or are they grapes?
Whatever...
Junk 10(Blue): You will see it straight ahead of you after coming out of the
blackberries, try not to fall into the abyss to your right.
Junk 11(Green): The speed boosters behind 10 should take you right to 11.
Junk 12(Red): At the next ramp, do a strong Backward Flip to land on a high
shortcut spider web that also contains this junk.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
3.a.5. Sand Ruins Mission 2 Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Character: Sonic
Board: Blue Star
Time Limit: 1 minute 10 seconds
Junk Totals:
Green X 2
Yellow X 4
Red X 2
Blue X 3
Gray X 1
Notes:
Junks 7 and 8 are IMO two of the hardest junks to get in this game. I would
suggest not bothering with them unless you want a Gold Metal. 4 and 5 can be a
little tricky also, the rest are not bad.
Walkthrough:`
Junk 1(Yellow): After heading out of the gate, head to the right a little.
Junk 2(Blue): Go through the arch and turn to the left, see the rising pillars,
stay down the middle of them and you will find this junk.
Junk 3(Yellow), 4(Red) and 5(Green):After the huge jump, head slightly to the
left toward the Speed monitor near the sand hill. Jump on that rail to grab 3.
Now here is the tricky part, this rail continues downwards, but instead before
this rail steeply goes down, you need to double jump to catch the rail that is
going along the edge of the ceiling that has junks 4 and 5 on it.
Junk 6(Blue): After getting off this rail to the right a little, shortly
before the next big ramp.
Junk 7(Yellow) and 8(Gray): VERY tricky set of jumps. After the large jump,
you are now inside. To the left you will see a Speed Monitor. To jump on the
first rail that has number 7 on the end of it you need to jump just to the
left of the Speed Boosters. If you hit the Speed Boosters you miss it, if you
don't have enough speed when you jump you fall down to the lower path and you
miss it... but going for the next junk is much trickier... You have to quickly
double jump about TWICE because there are three rails close to each other that
don't quite run into each other to grab 8, you need quick reflexes to get on
the proper rail.
Junk 9(Yellow): Thankfully after that craziness of getting 8, they didn't put
9 on the upper shortcut path... anyway 9 is in the hallway in front of the
entrance to the room with the giant rising pillars you have to U turn around.
Junk 10(Green): After grabbing 9 and turning to the left, don't hit the Speed
Boosters to your left, the green one is in between these boosters and the
pillars.
Junk 11(Blue): In front of the entrance to the giant bow and arrow room.
Junk 12(Red): When on the giant bow and arrow, twirl the control stick
clockwise as fast as you can to charge up the bow fully so you are launched to
the top of the stadium where this last junk sits.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
3.a.6. Babylon Garden Mission 2 Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Character: Tails
Board: Yellow Tail
Time Limit: 1 minute 15 seconds
Junk Totals:
Green X 2
Yellow X 3
Red X 2
Blue X 4
Gray X 1
Notes:
7, 8 and 9 are a little rough, but overall not that bad if you really have
your skills down.
Walkthrough:
Junk 1(Blue): Straight ahead from the start in front of the first ramp.
Junk 2(Green): After landing off the first ramp, ahead you will see a jumping
ramp and a curve to the left, the junk is tightly hugging the inner corner of
this curve, so you need to strongly slide to the left or just go through it
slowly while hugging but not bumping off of the inner fence.
Junk 3(Red): There is a gateway with three arches, the middle arch has a
Flight ramp in it, air ride to grab the junk in front of the first Flight Ring.
Junk 4(Yellow): After landing, you should see the junk in the inside corner of
the next right turn, this one is easy to grab compared to 2.
Junk 5(Blue): Before the entrance to the turbulent air path.
Junk 6(Blue): After the plane ride the middle Speed Booster Pads will lead you
directly into it.
Junk 7(Red), 8(Yellow) and 9(Gray): After the sharp right turn, to the left
side of the path 7 is sitting in front of a Trick Jump Ramp with a Flight Ring
above it. Take this Trick Jump to catch the Flight Rings so you can Air Ride
to 8 and 9.
Junk 10(Blue): Before the sharp left turn around the tower, try not to start
turning until after you grab the junk, even if you end up flying into the
abyss.
Junk 11(Yellow): After the sharp turn around the tower shortly before the next
ramp.
Junk 12(Green): Backward Flip off the ramp in back of 11 to reach the high
shortcut path, after landing if you hit the speed booster in the middle you
should run directly into 12.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
3.a.7. Digital Dimension Mission 2 Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Character: Knuckles
Board: Red Rock
Time Limit: 1 minute 15 seconds
Junk Totals:
Green X 4
Yellow X 3
Red X 2
Blue X 2
Gray X 1
Notes:
You literally have to go through a lot of Hell (and Heaven) it seems to grab
this junk... anyway, really not that bad of a level, I don't really have any
specific notes.
Walkthrough:
Junk 1(Green): After a slight turn to the left, you will see this junk in
front of a Power Monitor, easy to grab before crashing through the statue.
Junk 2(Yellow): Take a right after smashing the statue, up ahead you will see
the giant scary ghost head behind the ramp.
Junk 3(Red) and 4(Gray): Do a Forward Flip off these creepy ramp to catch the
high shortcut that takes you above the horrible hands trying to pull you into
the abyss... yeah, this track creeps me out... anyway after landing this junk is
straight ahead and a slight and easy right and you will find 4.
Junk 5(Green): After turning on the shortcut path now stay straight and in the
middle so when the boosters send you off the shortcut you will land directly
on this junk.
Junk 6(Blue): In the center of the main path after a left turn.
Junk 7(Yellow): Go toward the light... after finally entering a better place,
head for the rightmost archway in a group of three(these archways are crazy,
sometimes there is a stained glass window there and sometimes there is not)
and this junk is right in front of it.
Junk 8(Green): The center one in the next group of three archways.
Junk 9(Yellow): The rightmost of the next group of archways.
Junk 10(Red): Soon after the track becomes digital, in front of a Power
monitor.
Junk 11(Blue): Smash the two stone slabs behind the Power monitor and it's
straight ahead.
Junk 12(Green): In the middle of the track before you reach the Goal line.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
3.a.8. SEGA CARNIVAL Mission 2 Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Character: Tails
Board: Yellow Tail
Time Limit: 1 minute 10 seconds
Junk Totals:
Green X 2
Yellow X 3
Red X 2
Blue X 4
Gray X 1
Notes:
7-9 can be kind of tough because they require good timing and good Flight
Skills. Some of the shortcuts are blocked off.
Walkthrough:
Junk 1(Blue): Straight from the start toward the ledge, do a strong Flip off
the ledge directly in the center.
Junk 2(Yellow): Head slightly right after landing off the first ramp, easier
if you don't hit the speed boosters.
Junk 3(Blue): Shortly after 2 before a small left curve.
Junk 4(Green): After a sharp left turn slightly to the right.
Junk 5(Yellow) and 6(Red): The next ramp sends you to the Pirate Ship. The
upper shortcut is blocked off so you don't have to Flip. Inside the ship, head
toward the Flight monitor and the Jump Ramp, Jump off it so you can Air Ride
and hit Flight Rings, 5 is in front of the second ring and 6 in front of the
third.
Junk 7(Blue) and 8(Gray): After being shot out of a cannon and the crazy ride
inside a ball... when you land you need to prepare to jump off the first ledge
to your right to catch Flight Rings to grab 7 and 8, 7 in front of the second
Ring and 8 in front of the last one. Make sure to steer down a little to grab
7 but not too much!
Junk 9(Green):After landing from the Flight Rings it is on the last green
floating square platform, under the device that you pass under that well gets
you rings...
Junk 10(Blue): After entering the city area, it's shortly before the drop-off
to the right, easier to grab if you don't hit the Speed Boosters.
Junk 11(Red): Further in the city in front of a building to your left slightly
floating in the air, jump to grab it(There is this strange green glowing thing
back there... not sure what it is or if you use it to grab the junk... I just
avoid this area and jump slightly for the junk.)
Junk 12(Yellow): On top of the large hill to the right a little.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
3.b. Wave's Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Description:
Collect 8 or more pieces of junk before Wave appears.
Bronze Metal: 8 Junk
Silver Metal: 10 Junk
Gold Metal: 12 Junk
This time there are nasty bombs in your path, they have purple diamonds above
them. Hitting one at it will slow you down and take away some of your Air, so
be careful! Also as you can see the Bronze Metal Standard is also now 2 more
than Storm's and in general the Junk is placed in less obvious and harder to
grab places. Plus Sonic is now on his Blue Star II board which is faster and
has worse cornering, which is bad for junk gathering purposes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
3.b.1. Night Chase Mission 2 Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Character: Tails
Board: Yellow Tail
Time Limit: 1 minute 5 seconds
Junk Totals:
Green X 2
Yellow X 3
Red X 2
Blue X 4
Gray X 1
Notes:
Takes practice and you will miss some first time through, but if you know what
to expect it's not bad. 4 just takes a little bit of thinking... 8 and 9 can be
hard to catch after just grabbing 7 and 11 and 12 take good trick jump timing.
Walkthrough:
Junk 1(Blue): Off the first ramp do a strong Forward Flip to catch the upper
shortcut route, then take the left side path.
Junk 2(Yellow): When the path merges into one again, veer slightly to the
right.
Junk 3(Green): Straight ahead from 2.
Junk 4(Red): After taking the sharp right turn, you will see the Speed
Boosters ahead that send you sliding against and arrow sign then to the normal
route. Make sure to hit the leftmost of this long line of speed boosters so
you are send into a junk instead of a bomb after hitting the sign.
Junk 5(Blue): Try to dodge the cop cars... it's to the right slightly shortly
before leaving the large tunnel.
Junk 6(Yellow): At the two tunnels, it's before the entrance to the right
tunnel.
Junk 7(Blue), 8(Yellow) and 9(Gray): In the next area, ignore trick stuff to
the side... at first... 7 is in the middle of the road behind the last small
grassy strip but to grab 8 and 9 you then have to very quickly veer off to the
left side to trick off the little trick ramp to catch Flight Type Rings. 8 is
in front of the second ring and 9 in front of the third.
Junk 10(Blue): in front of the next right curve.
Junk 11(Red) and 12(Green): At the next ramp do a strong Backward Flip to end
up at the top shortcut instead of the Air grabbing ride. To grab 12 you must
do another Backward Flip quickly off the next ramp.

3.b.2. Red Canyon Mission 2 Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Character: Sonic
Board: Blue Star II
Time Limit: 1 minute 10 seconds
Junk Totals:
Green X 2
Yellow X 4
Red X 2
Blue X 3
Gray X 1
Notes:
Very tricky to Gold Metal. For 3 and 4 you might want to jump earlier than you
think to avoid the bomb. 7-10 involve rapid rail transfers, but not bad once
you get the timing down, and 12 since it is in the waterfall and hard to steer
just needs careful small steering adjustments when you get near it.
Walkthrough:
Junk 1(Yellow): Pretty much straight ahead after the speed boosters.
Junk 2(Blue): At the end of the curve to the left, before the tunnel entrance.
Junk 3(Red) and 4(Yellow): Tricky, once you jump off the ramp and get inside
and hit the speed boosters you have to catch the rail under the speed monitor,
but there is a bomb beside it to the right, so you must steer well and jump on
the rail.
Junk 5(Blue):Next to the waterfall on your left and barrels, watch out for
bombs.
Junk 6(Green):To the left of the entrance to the rapids.
Junk 7(Yellow), 8(Gray), 9(Red), and 10(Yellow): After being thrown up by the
rapids, you need to jump off the wheel-like ramp to catch the rail with 7.
Double jump where that rail ends to catch the next rail to grab 8 that is
floating between those rails and do the same to grab the next rail with 9 and
10 on it.
Junk 11(Green): In the tunnel before you break through the waterfall.
Junk 12(Blue): In the final rapids before the goal.

3.b.3. Ice Factory Mission 2 Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Character: Tails
Board: Yellow Tail
Time Limit: 1 minute 20 seconds
Junk Totals:
Green X 2
Yellow X 3
Red X 2
Blue X 4
Gray X 1
Notes:
To properly get through ice without going all over the place, make sure not to
turn left or right even a little bit while riding through the ice or you will
go out of control, instead if you are after something in the ice or on the
other side, aim for it before hitting the ice and take a straight as an arrow
path toward it.
The trick ramps are the next toughest point, since you need to jump off them
in a good place to hit the rings.
Some of the yellows and greens maybe off in the below walkthrough, the total
at the end of the level says above... but it must be the lighting in the level,
I couldn't really tell yellow from green that well.
Walkthrough:
Junk 1(Yellow): Floating high in the air over the first ramp, so straight
ahead from the start then do a strong Backward Flip off the ramp.
Junk 2(Green): Inside corner of the first sharp left turn. Hit the booster
pads before the sharp turn, then very sharply turn to the left to grab it.
Junk 3(Blue): Sitting in front of the next ramp off to the left a little.
Junk 4(Green): In the next room it's to the left, near a trick ramp against
the wall and a Flight-type monitor.
Junk 5(Red): At the above mentioned trick ramp you want to jump so you hit the
Flight ring in the hole in the wall, but you want to make sure you don't jump
too far away from this hole, so jump toward the end of the ramp, if you jump
too soon you often fall short and right on top of two bombs. The junk is found
in the air after going through three Flight Rings and before entering the
shortcut tunnel.
Junk 6(Yellow): Straight ahead after 5 and in the slight curve to the right.
Junk 7(Blue): Make sure when going through the next Flight Rings from Junk 6
that you steer up from the last ring to head back on the normal course. 7 is
straight ahead from here on the other side of the large patch of ice.
Junk 8(Red): Go through the next room, then it's sitting near the next sharp
right hand turn. To grab it try hitting the third Speed Booster to the right
before coming to the turn.
Junk 9(Blue): After the sharp turns near the left wall is another trick ramp,
this junk is in front of the ramp.
Junk 10(Yellow) and 11(Gray): As with the last trick ramp, you need to jump
off this one near the end so you can hit the Flight Rings to grab 10 and 11.
Careful when you land from the Air Ride, steer to the right a little or you
might hit the wall next to the Eggman sign then fall into the abyss.
Junk 12(Blue): In the middle of the path before the right curve that takes you
to the Goal.

3.b.4. White Cave Mission 2 Junk
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Character: Knuckles
Board: Red Rock
Time Limit: 1 minute 5 seconds
Junk Totals:
Green X 4
Yellow X 3
Red X 2
Blue X 2
Gray X 1
Notes:
Easy, seriously it is, the most straight-forward of Wave's Junk Missions, you
might only have trouble keeping on the course if you are unfamiliar with it. I
really don't have much to say about it other than what I have written below.
Out of all of them 11 is probably the most trouble, followed by 6 which has a
little bit of a falloff danger.
Walkthrough:
Junk 1(Green): Slightly to the left before the grove of trees.
Junk 2(Yellow): In the center of the grove of trees, try not to hit trees!
Junk 3(Red): At the first ramp do a strong Forward Flip to land on the middle
shortcut, the junk is a little to the right up there.
Junk 4(Blue): On the main path in front of two rocks that surround a Speed
Booster.
Junk 5(Yellow): Center of main path shortly before centipede ride.
Junk 6(Red): Left side of path after centipede ride in the outer corner of a
right turn. There is a chance of falling off the track here, so be careful.
Junk 7(Green): Main path between some bombs.
Junk 8(Gray) and 9(Green): Crash through the arrow sign before the curve that
is beyond the Power monitor for a speed booster shortcut to grab quite
possibly the easiest gray junk in the game and a bonus green junk.
Junk 10(Yellow): After the shortcut on the main path to the left.
Junk 11(Blue): The higher spider web shortcut is broken... just jump off the
next ramp, this junk is in the inside corner of the right u-turn next to a
bomb, so you have to go around this curve tightly.
Junk 12(Green): In front of the next ramp, the ramp that leads to the spider
web.

3.b.5. Dark Desert Mission 2 Junk

Character: Sonic
Board: Blue Star II
Time Limit: 1 minute 5 seconds
Junk Totals:
Green X 2
Yellow X 4
Red X 2
Blue X 3
Gray X 1
Notes:
Junks 2-4 are very tricky until you realize that you need to mess up a jump as
I describe below in order to slow down. Other than that pretty typical.
Walkthrough:
Junk 1(Green): Do a strong Forward Flip from the first ramp at the top of the
stairs, it's floating in the air shortly before you land.
Junk 2(Blue): Floating about the first jumpable le
