How do you pass clear hard mode for knuckles wild canyon?

For the 1st Piece - head over to the Lonely Statue area - you�ll notice that this Piece is floating right under the platform...
In order to get it - you�ll have to jump from the top of the closest chamber and glide into this Piece...

To find the 2nd Piece - go to the Stone Dance Hall - right under one of the platforms is a Painting that you can dig into...
So dig into it and you'll end up in a room with a bunch more of the same paintings - dig into the 2nd one on the right to find this Piece...

The last Piece is located in the Chamber of Wind - find the shortest pillar - it has a circle of rings on it - put on your Sunglasses and a Spring will appear...
The Spring will bounce you straight into this Piece!!!

P.S. You�ll need to get 17000 points to get an �A� Rank here - Good Luck =)

Well one of the emerald pieces is under a cross one in the wind alter and finaly one in a secret passage to get to one in the secret place all you need to do is go onto the wind and if you look right or left you will see a thing fly under climb up if there isn't anything to the other one and do the same you should then find a tapestry dig into it you should be in a room with loads of tapestrys use the furthest onthe left and there it is the other two emeralds I don't need to explain

Thanks man!
You helped me out solving the prob

For the first emerald, take the wind. Go in the direction of the lonely statue. There is a large platform. Under the platform is the emerald.
For number two, you need again to go outside. There will be one platform with two ring bubbles and one without. You need to head for the one without the bubbles. Under the platform is one of those paintings you have seen already (you dug through one to get the mystic melody needed to find the lost chao). Dig through the painting. Use the sunglasses to find the rings leading up to another painting. Dig through the painting and get the second emerald. The third one in in the wind. You need to go inside and land on the shortest pillar. Again with the sunglasses, you will find a hidden spring. Use it to get the emerald. The best thing to do is to complete the level once, using hints. Then do it again as fast as you can. It will help getting a rank A.
