EMBLEMS Each time your character successfully clears an Action Stage you will receive a Sonic emblem.

Additional Sonic emblems can also be found in both the mini-games and scattered about the Adventure Field. The total number of emblems you have collected is displayed in the File Selection Screen. GAME OVER & CONTINUE Your character will lose one life if they sustain damage while not carrying any rings. Your character can also lose a life, even when carrying rings, if they fall off the Action Stage course or a cliff in the Adventure Field. The "Game Over" Screen appears when the number of "extra lives" your character has reaches zero and they lose their last life. Select and enter "Continue" to restart the game at the beginning of the same stage or "Quit" to return to the Title Screen. *In Action Stages, boss battles or minigames, your character will restart at the beginning of the stage. *In the Adventure Field, your character will restart from the location where the character was when the game was last saved. Start = Pause, 82 = Select, A Button = Enter, B or X Button = Cancel ACTION STAGES Each character has a different goal that must be met in order to clear the Action Stages. This goal is displayed at the start of each Action Stage. The goal of each stage is broken into three levels (A, B, and C) so set your sights on clearing all three levels and good luck!For details about Action Stage goals and a diagram of the Action Stage display for each individual character, see the character introductions on p. 5. RINGS & BONUS LIVES A number of rings can be found in each Action Stage. Your character can survive damage inflicted by an enemy attack as long as they are carrying at least one ring. However, when attacked, they will automatically lose all the rings they were carrying. If attacked when not carrying any rings, your character will lose a life. Whenever your character collects 100 rings, they will receive an extra life. Item boxes containing an extra life can sometimes be found in the Action Stages as well. The rings obtained in the Adventure Field as well as Adventure stages except Casinopolis are saved and can be used when shopping at the Chao Garden.

Options available in the pause window vary according to the type of stage you are in when the game is paused. Refer to this diagram and select an option from the pause window. PAUSING IN THE ADVENTURE FIELD POINT MARKERS You will find a number of point markers throughout each Action Stage that you can use to save your character's time and position within the course. If your character loses a life, the next life will start from the location of the last point marker touched with the time that was logged when the marker was originally touched.
