Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games

Photosensitive Seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms–children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions:

Sit farther from the television screen.

Use a smaller television screen.

Play in a well-lit room.

Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Thank you for purchasing Sonic The Hedgehog™. Please note that this software is designed for use with the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®. Be sure to read this software manual thoroughly before you start playing.

STORY

BASIC CONTROLS

It all started in Soleanna, the beautiful city of water.

On the night of the Sun Festival, the young princess of Soleanna

was abducted by none other than the calculating Dr. Eggman

who was working under dark and sinister motives

to destroy the special kingdom.

Sonic dashed to Soleanna

to stop Dr. Eggman’s malicious plot and save the princess.

Yet suddenly, a mysterious white hedgehog named Silver

appeared before him. Believing Sonic to be the “Iblis Trigger,”

he interrupted Sonic’s daring rescue with his amazing powers.

Who is the Iblis Trigger, and why does he think it is Sonic?

And what is the Flames of Disaster that Dr. Eggman is eagerly after?

As Sonic speeds through the vast kingdom,

the mystery unravels.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

The world’s fastest hedgehog who is free spirited but hates knavish acts. He can be short tempered, but is available for those in need of help. In Soleanna, he will confront Dr. Eggman in order to save Princess Elise.

DR. EGGMAN

A master of robotic engineering with an IQ of 300. Knowing about the princess’ secret powers, he attempts to capture her to unlock and use her powers for his self-

serving needs.

PRINCESS ELISE

Princess of Soleanna at the tender age of

17. She lost her father when she was younger, but she keeps her promise to him to never cry, no matter what. She fulfills her duty as the royal princess, but she has yet to see the mysterious powers she possesses.

■ ACTION GAUGE

The Action Gauge indicates the amount of special power the character holds. This power is required to use Sonic’s Custom Actions (P.13), activate Shadow’s Chaos Boost (P.14), and use Silver’s telekinetic powers (P.16). Using such actions will deplete the Action Gauge, but all three characters can refill their power by collecting Chaos Drives and Light Cores (P.10). Note that Sonic’s and Silver’s gauges are also gradually restored by time.

The Level Indicator is the 3-light display located in the right portion of the Action Gauge. The number lit is the level of the currently selected Custom Action (Sonic), or Shadow’s Chaos Boost.

If you are playing as Sonic, there is another gauge below the Action Gauge which will display the maturity of the Custom Action’s Level.

SINGLE PLAYER MODE

TOWN STAGE

There are two main objectives during the Town Stage. One is to seek where the next Action Stage begins, and the other is to increase your character’s ability by purchasing enhancement items which will allow you to use the Power-Up moves (check P.12, 14, and 16 for their moves).

■ INFORMATION

Walk toward anyone with an icon above their head and press the X Button to hear what the folks in Soleanna have to say. Information from them will usually give you a better idea as to what you should do and where to go in the Town Stage.

■ EVENT

At various times during the game such as finding an Action Stage entrance, completing an Action Stage, or meeting a special character, a cinematic presentation of the event will automatically play.

■ MISSION

You will encounter various missions while you are in the Town Stage. These may be in the form of a trial, a task, or a battle. Complete each Mission as it’s presented to advance your story.

BOSS STAGE

After clearing certain Action Stages, your character must battle the Boss to advance the story. Bosses are stronger than regular enemies and will require more skill to overcome.

Most Bosses will need to be attacked in a specific way, so find the most efficient attack by locating their weaknesses. The Boss will finally be defeated when their Life Gauge (displayed in the top right) is empty.

PAUSE MENU

Press the START button to pause the game and display the Pause Menu. During the pause, select CONTINUE to resume gameplay or QUIT to exist the game.

Additionally, the START OVER option will allow you to start over the current Stage/Mission from the beginning, with the cost of one life. During the Town Stage, there will also be an option to freely save your game progress to a designated storage device.

■ SHOP

Go to the Shop to purchase various items that will enhance your main character’s skills. Shop items are purchased with money you’ve earned mainly by clearing the Action Stages. Items sold will change according to your game progress, so browse in the nearest Shop if you have a chance.

your story.

Custom Actions you’ve already gained can be freely selected during the Action Stage by using the D-pad. Note that Custom Actions require power on your Action Gauge, and cannot be used when the gauge is empty.

All Custom Actions are upgradable (up to Level 3) by collecting Chaos Drives (P.10) – leveling up the action will result in more power and/or better mileage from the Action Gauge. Also, leveling up a Custom Action occurs one at a time since only the selected action can absorb the power of the Chaos Drives.
