ITEMS


Super Ring
This monitor gives the player 10 rings. Collect 100 rings for an extra life.

Normal Shield
Gives the player a temporary barrier, and allows him to retain one hit without losing any rings. Item disappears once you're hit, so be careful.

Fire Shield
Has the effect of a normal shield, but also protects the player from projectiles and fire damage.

Bubble Shield
Has the effect of a normal shield, but also protects the player from projectiles, and allows him to breathe underwater.

Lightning Shield
Has the effect of a normal shield, but also protects the player from projectiles, electric damage, and attracts rings towards the player.

Power Sneakers
Temporarily gives the player a large burst of speed. Use it to your advantage.

Invincibility
Temporarily renders the player invulnerable to all damage, and destroys all enemies on contact. Be careful, though, as you can still die from getting smashed, drowning or falling down a bottomless pit.

1-Up
Gives the player an extra life. Collect as many as you can.

Dr Eggman
Dr Eggman has placed these monitors in various areas on South Island. Avoid them, as breaking one open will deal you damage.

"S" Monitor
Breaking open this monitor will immediately grant you 50 rings, and transform your character into their super form. It also grants each character a specific ability, described on the Controls page. This monitor will only appear in an unlockable game mode.

Star Posts
These save your current position during a level. If you die after hitting one of these, you'll return to the position of the last checkpoint you hit.

Chaos Emeralds
Six of these are found in special stages, while Dr Eggman is in possession of the 7th. Can you collect them all?
