When tails spots a sign advertising the Mobius Grand Prix it becomes a chance for the ever ego-boosting Sonic The Hedgehog to show his fantabulous speed! But the real interesting thing about the race is that Robotnik is one of the racers! And where there is Robotnik, there's sure to be trouble! And trouble it is! Robotnik has set a trap for our heroes as well as laying the grounds for an elaborate scheme to get his hands on the Chaos Emeralds as well, especially since now he has learned of thier location!!! But Sonic is not the only one who will be racing with Dr. Robotnik! Sonic's rival, Knuckles, has learned that Sonic will be participating in a very important race and Knuckles never turns down a chance to be around Sonic when the action starts! And Amy Rose will be there too. After secretly overhearing Dr. Robotnik's plans, she also will be racing to find the Chaos Emeralds! So now there's an all out free for all to see just who will first find the Chaos Emeralds and win the Mobius Grand Prix!!! Let the races Begin!
Codes
Clean Pause
While playing, pause the game and press X + Y + Z at the same time.
Duplicate Characters
Player 2 can play as the same character as player 1. The first player picks a character then the second player high lights the same character. Hold X + Y + Z. This also works for Super Sonic and all hidden characters.
Manipulate The Title Screen
To have a little fun with the title screen, wait a moment, then fiddle with the D-pad. the "R" will rotate to your will. If you press the B button, the color of the R will change to a metallic outlook. Pressing the A Button restores the R to its former color. Pressing Y and X will darken or lighten the R.
Cheats
Trouble With Metal Sonic ???
An easier way to beat Mecha Sonic after collecting the 5 tokens is to first capture The Tails Doll who is easier to get than the Metal Sonic and then use Mecha Tails against Mecha Sonic, cutting across the water to get a lead. Always make sure you run through the ruins or the open 20 ring door.
Chaos Emeralds
Emerald #1: Resort Island
(behind the door which opens with 50 rings)
Emerald #2: Radical City
(behind a door which opens with 20 rings, bottom of the course after falling down the hole in the street short after the tunnel)
Emerald #3: Radical City
(behind the door which opens with 50 rings)
Emerald #4: Ruins course
(behind the door which opens with 50 rings, location left side of the course on some arcades right after the start)
Emerald #5: Regal Ruin
(behind the door which opens with 20 rings, location is right in front of you after racing up the ramp)
Emerald #6: Reactive Factory
(behind the door which opens with 50 rings, location is just after the looping the emerald will jump out of the machine in front of you)
Emerald #7: Reactive Factory
(behind the door which opens with 50 rings, location short after the looping left of the ramp where a excelerator is located. The emerald will pop out of the submarine which waits for you right ahead)
Back In Time
This one's a killer. These ancient Egyptian remains are an archaeologist’s dream (or a nightmare, depending on if you like mazes or not). The main path is pretty easy to follow, but there are many little roads and nooks which could be hiding treasure, so search well! Springs might help you out of tight spots in this course.
Tokens
Token #1; After the 1st turn right, there is a hump and a left turn. Go over the hump.
Token #2; Coming up to the built-up area there is a slope with two springs to the left. Jump on the second one you see.
Token #3; Just follow the track as the CPU racers do... It's pretty highup.
Token #4; Finishing the lap (almost), stick to the left on higher ground. You should see it.
Token #5; At the right of the slope mentioned for the 2nd coin. Go up some stairs and follow the path around.
