I've spent the last few days playing through the missions on this game, I never gave up on a mission until I got Extrem rank.

Earlier, I finally finnished the job & unlocked NiGHTS, Amigo & Billy Hatcher (What's with the clucking?). I also unlocked a shitty "mag gear" which can't gain any GP & sonic's special gear "Chaos Emerald".

In other words, I have finally unlockd Super Sonic, I'll run through the details.

Good point: If you press the jump button while going round a corner, he will start turning with flying grip (Exsactly like using a wheel gear).
Bad side: You must collect fifty rings after getting the "Ring Magnet" sheild gear change before making this possible.

Good point: When you get the "Ring Magnet" sheild gear change & collect fifty rings, you will automatically go into offense mode (You know, when you can attack your opponents). This has a top speed of 181!
Bad side: It suckes up about 2 rings a second, but at least the rings will be attracted to you thanks to your permanent magnet sheild.

Good point: He dosn't need GP to use Gravity Dive/Control.
Bad side: Using one of these sucks up your rings up so fast that, with a good amount of rings, you will only be defying gravity for about 2 seconds, meaning, if you are playing a level such as "gigan rocks" or "crimson cratr", you will most definately come in a really rubbish place, probably fifth.

Good point: Super Sonic is the fastest character in the game with a top speed of 161 (excluding the special offense mode thing)!
Bad side: being super sonic consumes rings, you loose one ring every 3 seconds, you start out with 0 rings, so you are running as sonic for as long as you have no rings.

Good point: Umm... he's gold & shiny?
Bad side: He's power trype, in the previous game, he was every type.

Good point: If you show this guy off to your friend, they'll gape.
Bad side: They'll laugh at you when you loose.

Good Point: He's fun to mess around ith on Megalo Station.
Bad side: He's completely useless, pretty much.

Bad side: He's really not worth the hastle of unlocking!

Bad side: he has a kind of disadvantage when it comes to tricks, if you are at the point where you don't have the disadvantage, you're probably in a sucky place (eg. fifth.).

Bad side: WTF? He's Super Sonic & HE CAN'T FLY?!?

One of the worst points:
Okay, in a sonic game, you end up against the last boss as super sonic (with the acception of shadow the hedgehog), in this game, you may not play as him in the last level, mobius strip (VS. Master Core: ABIS).

As you can see, he has more bad points than helpful good points (I say helpful because of my "he's gold & shiny" comment). Watch how & when you use him, it could easilly go wrong!

If you have any comments or any uses for this dissapointing character post them here.

As for me, I think I'll stick to the previous game when my copy arrives.

Thanks for the heads up I found this very useful. O well. Ive made extreme rank on far too many missions to give up now. But super sonic isnt all that bad,if you know how to use him.In aquatic capital,i was raceing againt the best ghost they had(probably still the best)and he/she was using super sonic.It was insainity! I could barely keep him/her from over laping me. It was incredible.Obviosly, whoever that person was, was VERY good at this game.Id love to learn his secrets...
