Hint: Radiant Emerald: Flame power-up:

Go to the location where you can play a quick pinball game as Amy or Super Sonic to get a flame power-up.

Hint: Radical City: Shortcut:

Use Knuckles at the start. At the dip, jump and float. Go down the stream until reaching a ledge and a road below. Go to the road and turn left to find the pinball area. Float above that at the drop. Jump up the gamble bit and take the boost. It is possible to get a time of 32:00 seconds by doing this trick.

Hint: Reactive Factory: Shortcut:

Select any character. Turn right when you are catapulted near the gap in the road. You should skip about five seconds.

Hint: Reactive Factory: Free rings:

At the start, turn around and go backward up a ramp. Keep going until you reach an object that says "ring" along the right side of the path. Sit there and wait. It will spew free rings to you; as many as you can hold.

Hint: Regal Ruin: Shortcut:

Select any character. Turn right when you see the hill and catapults. Then, turn left when you can. You should see an archway. Go through the archway and turn left at the fork. Then, go up the steep hill and go forward. You should reach the end soon. By doing this, it is possible to finish a lap in 25 seconds. Repeat this process.
