Mission #42: Monkey Trouble Mission Type: Score Gates Character: Bonanza Brothers
I think this mission is the hardest ever in this game. Score gates mission are like time gates missions in that you must hit them, except that instead of giving you time, you earn points. You must be perfect in order to get AAA in this mission. You go through gates that have points in them you must hit almost every one of the gates (I hit everyone except for 2-3 of them). I will do my best to explain how I did it; you might not understand what to do unless you play this mission and know the layout of the area. As soon as the mission begins go up the ramp that’s in front of you and down the ramp, do a 180 going to the left, hit the gate whiling making the left, go up the ramp hit the gate in the air, I hit the bridge and went straight down and got the gate in front of me, then hit the other 2 gates in front of you, then make right, hit the gate there, then make a right turn, hit the other ramp to get the gate in and try to hit the bridge again to fall down again(I didn’t hit the bridge again) and hit the gate in front you then, hit the other 2 gates in front of you, then make a left turn(180 really) to up the ramp, hit the gate, then make left to go up a ramp on the bridge to hit 1 of the 2 gates, then go straight off the bridge to hit 2 more gates, then make left or a right and go up the ramp then go up the other gate and then go straight to hit 2 more gates, and that should be enough to give you an AAA ranking.

Mission #43: Egg-Splosive Slide Mission Type: Drift Character: Billy

[Fullmetalx07]

Mission #47: Factory Frolics Mission Type: Rival Race Character: Shadow
See Mission #1 for tips. This is one of the hardest rival races because Sonic always seems to find a way to catch up to you. Just keep turbo boosting, and take any shortcut you can, and try to knock him off the course.

Mission #48: Horrible Cup Mission Type: Grand Prix Character: Zobio & Zobiko
See Mission #8

Mission #49: Going Bananas Mission Type: Drift Character: Opa-Opa
See Mission #2…This course has many weird turns, so it might take a few tries to get AAA ranking, other that it’s an easy mission.

Mission #50: Space Channel Drive Mission Type: Battle Race Character: Ulala
See Mission #25 for tips

Mission #51: Haunted Hoedown Mission Type: Hit Contest Character: Jacky and Akira
This Mission is more like a boss battle just hit the item boxes to get the items and hit the big zombie in the center until he dies and also don’t get hit and you will get the AAA ranking.

Mission #52: Bonanza Blast Mission Type: Race Character: Bonanza Brothers
See Mission #5 for tips

Mission #53: Factory Crash Mission Type: Time Gates Character: Tails
See Mission # 9 for tips…and like the previous missions avoid the red gate and turbo boost to make sure you don’t run out of time

Exactly like Mission #13

Mission #59: Super Monkey’s All Mission Type: Rival Race Character: AiAi
See Mission #1 for tips….The last part of the race has some tricky turns that can cost you the race and like the race with sonic, Amigo can catch up to you in no time, so do whenever you can to earned AAA for this mission.

Mission #60: Graffiti Dash! Mission Type: Boost Character: Opa-Opa
See Mission #7 for tips

Mission #61: Beach Party Mission Type: Battle Race Character: Tails
See Mission #25 for tips

Mission #62: Every second counts Mission Type: Time Gates Character: Big the Cat
See Mission #9 for tips. And the name of the mission sums up the entire mission, because one mistake will make you fail this mission. At the beginning of the mission you need to hit one of the gates and then enter the door perfectly if not, you will have to restart because you won’t have enough time to finish this mission…and turbo boosting when you can will help you.

Mission #63: Robot Cup Mission Type: Grand Prix Character: Dr.Eggman
See Mission #8 for tips

Missions #64: Save the day Sonic! Mission Type: Hit Contest Character: Sonic
Just like Mission #51…At start go either left or right, at each corner there is an item box that contains 3 K.O boxing Gloves, and make sure you line up your shot carefully because the big robot does move and your shot will hit. Once you got the item boxes from each corner, go to the other items boxes so you can attack him and avoid getting hit.

Hope this helps everyone, if any one has additional tips I will add it to the guide

[AltruismIsDead]

Yep, of course I am stuck on the 3 hardest missions on the game. #14 Tails vs Sonic #42 Bonanza Bros and #47 Shadow vs Sonic.

I was wondering if there were any shortcuts on those 2 stages where you race against Sonic? I am only able to get AA no matter how much I drift/power slide etc. Sonic is a little douche on those stages :p

You wouldn't happen to have any more advice for those rival missions?

I will replayed those missions again, when I get home tonight and tell you what I did.

[Fullmetalx07]

For Mission #14, try to bump sonic in the poker chips that fall from the sky. that should give you a big enough lead for get AAA ranking.

For Mission #47 the the path split in the middle of the race just straight to the ramp and ride off the ramp, while do 1 jump boost, and you can do tricks on the motorcycle by the thumbstick down which give you a boost

And for Mission #42 I will try to make a video on how to do that mission

[PineappleJoe]

Any tips for mission #49 and #60? Seems like opa-opa hates me?

[Fullmetalx07]

Any tips for mission #49 and #60? Seems like opa-opa hates me?

yea opa-opa is weird character to use.

For Mission #49, I recommended going to the left instead of right at the start of the mission, follow that around and when you get to the circle area, go to the right that should gave a good continuous Drift, the rest of the mission should be simple. Also try avoid hitting the banana peels.

For Mission #60 Make you sure get a turbo boost start with opa-opa, you really can't see if you doing right, but you can hear it. This mission is a lot open areas, for you to easy boost, and don't hit any of the walls...and towards the end of mission, avoid hitting into the barriers in the middle of road, and try boost in between the barriers during the last part of the mission.

[kzone1991]

Thanks! This should help even though the game is preatty damn easy :)

[Fullmetalx07]

Thanks! This should help even though the game is preatty damn easy :)

I know the game is easy but some people but think some the mission might hard, because the Sega superstar tennis game, had some hard mission to get an AAA rank

[Lord Montymort]

Great guide, just today 1000G this, I wish I had seen this before because some of these missions are super hard to AAA.

[Fullmetalx07]

Thank you...I only finish the guide last night, lol

[xAHAx Skywalker]

Great job FullMetal! I am only on mission #17 but #14 was a pain. This will come in handy for some of the tougher ones when I play them.

Cheers! :drunk

#60 also easier if you use level one boost every time instead of charging for the full level 3.

[RockBanditPhil]

I just completed them AAA. I didn't think #14 and #47 were as hard as #59 and #64.

[kzone1991]

I found a nice little video showing you how to beat Mission #42.

YouTube- Sonic and SEGA all stars racing - Mission 42 Score Gates

[BooseyGirl]

For the final Mission (Mission 64) how much time needs to be left on the clock in order to get AAA? I finished with 3 seconds remaining and only got AA.

Thanks : )

[Ptit Ver]

You mean Google found it...

This is just an assumption, but did you get hit? I am pretty sure that you need all three of your "lives" intact to get AAA.

[Ooyah]

You mean Google found it...

Does Google read minds now, so that you don't need to type anything in? It now works without any input? Cool! I must try it out. :p

[mchannon37]

I might be the only one who had trouble with getting AAA on #12 with the stupid chickens, but just a bit of advice, if you bash through the wall of crates near the end, there are a lot more chickens to smash.

[HybridPK]

This is just an assumption, but did you get hit? I am pretty sure that you need all three of your "lives" intact to get AAA.

Yep! Any time you get hit you'll go down in rank.

No hits = AAA
1 hit = AA
2 hits = A
3 hits = B

I found Mission #64 to be pretty rage inducing.

[BooseyGirl]

You and me both! For a game that's a 4/10 on the Road Map it's giving me one hell of a time trying to get the last five missions I have from A to AAA.

Thank you for the help, back to the stupid freaking robot again...:uzi:

[Agent CH]

About your advice for cup missions (like mission 8), does that mean you can restart the race you're on, does does restarting send you back to square one?

[Ackter]

You can restart each race.

[Ooyah]

I might be the only one who had trouble with getting AAA on #12 with the stupid chickens, but just a bit of advice, if you bash through the wall of crates near the end, there are a lot more chickens to smash.

I was trying to do this one last night, I just can't manage the AAA. I find it really hard to move him from side to side, he moves so slowly, that the crows have gone whizzing by before he decides to move. :)

I will try your tip.

[Ooyah]

I might be the only one who had trouble with getting AAA on #12 with the stupid chickens, but just a bit of advice, if you bash through the wall of crates near the end, there are a lot more chickens to smash.

Right, I had another go at this one last night, and still am unable to get above AA. I couldn't actually see the crates to which you refer. There is a line of crates about 3/4 of the way through the mission, but it seems that you have no choice but to go through them. Do you mean these crates, or is there another lot somewhere? Because it seems that you are indicating that the crates are missable?

Annoying mission... if only the egg was a bit more manoeuvrable. :)

[KiddingPigeon]

Annoying mission... if only the egg was a bit more manoeuvrable. :)

I find it easy to tap in the direction you need to move the egg so tap it right three times fast and you will move right, worked wonders for me.

Just a thanks for an amazing guide i was stuck on the ring finding one with knuckles couldent find the hidden stash

[evilronnie42]

i don't actually see how 49 is possible since every time u drift it creates boost, quite bluntly everytime i focus on drifting it wastes time, even if i got aaa it would go to b because i'd be nowhere near the end

[Qoncrete]

For Cup missions, you don't actually have to win all 3 races. You need to be first overall though.

[Ooyah]

i don't actually see how 49 is possible since every time u drift it creates boost, quite bluntly everytime i focus on drifting it wastes time, even if i got aaa it would go to b because i'd be nowhere near the end

This is the last one that I had left, took me countless attempts to do it. You are spot on about the boosting aspect, so annoying. The trick is just to keep drifting, even if you scraping against a wall. Only let a drift go if you are going to hit something head on. Otherwise, try to use the walls to turn him so that you can continue drifting without letting it go. It is a slightly chaotic method, and takes a few attempts, but I got it this way, and I was unable to get it using 'normal' tactics. Hope this helps.

[SenorCovert]

i love the video kzone posted for #42, however, I'm having trouble hitting the two center ground ramps at the proper speed to get the points in the air and on the ground under the bridge. Anyone else have this problem?

[TootieTazzy]

I've been having the same problem for the past few days. This is the last one I need to AAA and I'm having absolutely no luck at all.

[Fullmetalx07]

The only thing I can say, if keep practicing that mission until you get AAA ranking on it

[Siren]

This mission 42 is driving me insane. I do well on one ground ramp, the other I mess up.

[Fullmetalx07]

This mission 42 is driving me insane. I do well on one ground ramp, the other I mess up.

I going to see if I can make of video of how I did it, maybe the way I did it would be easier for you.

[Benchem]

I can't get an AAA on #47, Sonic ALWAYS catches me up. Any ideas guys?

Edit: Nevermind, did it now.

[Mikesahhh]

good guide

[Cooljoe]

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! Gawd, this helped so much!!! Many thank you headed your way:woop:

[GENWAKU]

I found 42 so easy...

The only missions I now have to get a AAA rating on are mission 64, mission 14 (which I can only get a AA on before Sonic catches me up. All the videos I find on YouTube for beating this with AAA are using the infinite drift cheat/technique, so it seems impossible to do it legitimately to me) and mission 23 (Bonanza Bros. bombing the racers, course stops right before I get to AAA.)

I beat all the other Sonic rival races with a AAA rating, they were easy. But Roulette Road is a ridiculous track and Tails' vehicle is too fucking wide for half of the areas. Even tapping the gas button, I somehow strike a wall or have Sonic glued to my front and back no matter how much I boost.

[Andrew14man]

this is a great guide :woop: mission #42 sucksss lol

[FeudalEra]

Thanks for the guide.

[Kash Howard]

Thanks for your guide. It's been too long that I had that bonanza bros mission undone. Finally got my 1000g in the game. Thanks

[DJH4311]

I found a nice little video showing you how to beat Mission #42.

That, was a pain in the neck. Cheers.

Cheers for the guide OP, majorly helpful.

[undergr3nades]

mission 42 bonanza bros is by far the most difficult. just 1,000 this game and this was the only thing about this game I do NOT want to do again *thank god*

[grooselog]

I have to say after playing transformed it made realise just how much better this game is. so after about a year since playing this last I re bought this game and have not regretted it. I especially wanted to go through mission mode as I never really bothered with it.

the missions that gave me the most trouble was #42 #47 & #64.
#42 bonanza bros. score gates unless your spot on, have a strategy/route or are incredibly lucky you just don't have the time to triple a this. the amount of retries alone frustrated me but I persevered and I finally did it.

#47 shadow vs sonic rival race. now unless you can knock sonic off the course or are stupid good at this game I couldn't see how you can get triple a. how I did it I don't know, I put it down to sheer luck or sonic was just having an off race. every single time I was getting double a every time I retried.

#64 destroy bad robot as I like to call it. I forget the amount of retries I had on this but when I eventually got triple a on this I had 12 secs left didn't get hit and seemed to have Lady Luck smiling down on me. this is not easy at all. practice is the key. now I know to have 12 secs left is pretty good but unfortunately I don't upload anything to YouTube. sorry.

as I'm lovin' this game more than ever still gonna go for my gold licence and magical sound shower achievements.:woop:

[grooselog]

I don't believe it i've actually 1000g'd this game finally. Didn't think i'd ever get outrunner but someone was doing worse than me (hard to believe as i was having a terrible race as well). Also went from 39 to 92 hits on opponents online in only about 4-5 races tonight, then all I had left was the gold licence which I only needed about 29000 miles left.

This game proved to be easier than I first thought and I'm extremely glad I went back to it.:woop: kaching:woop:
