You must be tails for this cheat to work.In Casino Park get Team Blast.In one of the Pinball Games Boost your way to the top. Once you get to the edge and about to fall of to fight some robots use team blast. After you use it you will fall on the floor and see some robots. When you land on the floor Knuckles will be at the bottom and it will look like he is hanging on to somebody like he normally does when your flying but there won't be anybody there. I'm not sure if you can attack. But if you want to stay like that DO NOT switch formations or you will switch to that character and the other to will be behind you like normal.

To get through those security lasers to the V.I.P table as team sonic, all you have to do is change to sonic and use rocket accel to go through the lasers. Upstairs you will find an extra life and a bonus special stage key. You need to activate the switch near the top of the I on the vip sign.You will need to fly up to it and pull it. Sonic must then use Light dash to get across.

Note: This may not work sometimes

To continue teamblast with tails use thunder shoot.
To continue teamblast with knuckles use fire dunk.
NOTE:instead of a blue excel with sonic you will see a red excel.

When in fly formation (tails, rouge, charmy or cream) fly up as high as possible (recomennded for first timers, you can do this at any hight, but it's really hard) and just let them drop, make sure there is somthing to land on below them, then, right as soon as you hit the ground, (the exact moment!), press the X button and, hold it in. You will fly up a bit higher then normal but it's a big help!!!

Collect 141 emblems while playing.

To get Super Hard Mode get all A ranks and Emblems (141 A Ranks and 120 Emblems) then go to Super Hard Mode on 1 player then top right where "???" is will be Super Hard Mode (trust me it works ;))

To get Team Metal Sonic after you've done the above go to 2 player and use metal skin cheat (press X and triangle) at loading screen, do this and play 50 times!

I know this cheat everyone keeps saying but all you do is go to 2p mode, select teams, which battle or race you choose and stage then hold down Triangle and cross meaning X and wait till the stage is set, but metal only works when you do only 1 stage

After team blast has finished each team does a special move,

Team Sonic-After team blast switch to sonic and use BLUE TORNADO you will continue to do team blast until the gauge has gone down to 0.

Team Dark-Stop Time until gauge has dropped to 0 (10 seconds).

Team Rose-Become invincilble for a limited amount of time.

Team Chaotix-When they defeat an enemy they gain rings.

This is how to get easy team blast (Ching Ching)

Push and hold Square and /\\ in FLY FORMATION and the character should float up (it may take a while it's hard to do!!!!!)

Please rate my cheat....

To have Metallic characters, simply hold x and /\ after selecting a character in a 2 player mode.
