Other than Achievements or just bragging rights there’s no real purpose in getting Gold Medals, or Rings, since you can unlock Extras with just Silver Medals.

But if you’re having trouble with a boss, be prepared to lose your Rings… then use the brief invulnerability to score a free hit! Just, er, remember to pick up some Rings afterwards. Remember: as long as you have a single ring, you can’t die… unless you get crushed by something or trapped in a shrinking space, or drown, or hit the 10 minute timer, then you die instantly. Sonic 101 - always have at least one Ring on you at all times. It’s okay to be hurt, but don’t get crushed.If it’s a temporary one like Speed or Invulnerability you will, but anything else including rings will still be there when you get back. In previous Sonic games, entering Special/Bonus Stages might lose your rings or power-ups. Don’t worry about entering Special or Bonus Stages.Almost all barring the exploding bots are vulnerable to a good spin-smashing, but mind your timing and be careful they don’t fight back!

Some can’t be hit at certain times, or from certain directions, and some even explode! Others you might have to wait for them to attack first before you attack them. Beware of any new enemy you face! Treat them Dark Souls-like, as all of them have a catch.Just keep pressing Up to make Tails fly higher, then Jump off when you’re somewhere new! He’ll pick up rings, hit the boss for you, and here’s a tip: if you hold Up and press Jump then Tails will fly, and Sonic can grab hold of his hands. Always have Tails with you, as unlike in Sonic 2 he’s not a pain in the two-tailed ass.He’ll shoot forward like a slightly less powerful Spin Dash! Very useful!

Simply hold the Jump button in mid-air and Sonic will roll into a ball, then release the button as he hits the floor. Drop Dash! This is the new move for Sonic Mania.Sonic Forces new Tag Team gameplay turns it into Sonic Heroes 2 Below you can expect general tips, tricks and advice, a Guide To Power-Ups, help getting those Special Stages, Medals and Chaos Emeralds, and Boss Encounter Walkthrough Guides (curse you Oil Ocean!).
