Hero Story
Stage 2
Wild Canyon

1st Mission
Find Three Pieces of the Master Emerald
Mission Rankings:
A:16000
B:14000
C:10000
D:8000

Since the emerald locations are changed every time you play the best suggestion of finding emerald pieces is to simply jump and glide around. This provides a quick skim of the stage since your radar will pick up pieces from a pretty far distance. Also use the computers to give you hints.

2nd Mission
Collect 100 Rings
Mission Rankings:
A:under 1:30
B:under 2:00
C:under 3:00
D:under 4:30

This stage has a very low amount of rings. Right from the get go you should be able to pick up 8 rings. After this, head to the top of the pillars. A quick 56 rings are available up here. From here go to the outside. Float up to the top and land on one of the ledges right below the windmill wheel type structure. You should find another 30 here, giving you 94. From here to in the direction of the Lonely Statue, you should find enough to give you 100.

3rd Mission
Find the Lost Chao
(Shovel Claw, Hammer Gloves, and Mystic Melody Required)
Mission Rankings:
A:under 0:40
B:under 1:00
C:under 2:00
D:under 2:30

Go forword a little then turn right, you should see a statue. Run to that statue and climb a nearby wall until you reach the top floor. From here you should see four metal boxes in the corner. Bust them open to find a picture. Dig inside the oval shape in the center, this will take you to another room. Once inside play the Mystic Melody on the ancient shrine, it should open a door with another ancient shrine. Play here also. A warp should open up on the opposite wall, jump in to be taken to the room where the Chao is.

4th Mission
Collect the Emerald pieces in 2:00
Mission Rankings:
A:16000
B:14000
C:10000
D:8000

This mission is basically the same as the first, except with a time limit of 2 minutes.

5th Mission
Clear Hard Mode
(Shovel Claw and Sunglasses Required)
Mission Rankings:
A:17000
B:15000
C:10000
D:8000

The emerald locations in Hard mode are the same each time. Just follow these directions and you should find them no problem. The first emerald is located outside. Quickly ride the air lift up and go to the direction of the Lonely Statue. You should pick it up on your radar rather quickly. It is located under a platform with four ledges extending from it. Stand on the nearby large stone structure (the one with wooden boxes inside it) and you should be able to jump up and glide into it. Emerald two is located outside also. When you reach the outside, drop to the ground around the air lift. Run around the air lift until you find an area with a spiked enemy and a spring in the ground. When you find it, jump onto the wall behind it. Climb up and you should find a picture you can dig into. Dig into it, and put on your sunglasses. Look around in the small room until you find a trail of rings leading up to a picture. Climb this wall and dig into the picture, you should end up in another small room with the emerald piece. The third and final emerald you've probably seen. It is located at the bottom of the air lift. You can't just jump at it, or you'll get blown up in the air. Rather, from the starting point, look at the three pillars to the left. Go up the middle pillar (the shorter one). You should then put on your sunglasses and see a spring, run into it and you should bounce into another spring, then go into the emerald.

Level Up Item:
Mystic Melody
Knuckles' Mystic Melody is hidden in a room behind a painting above the Loney Statue. You need the Shovel Claw to dig through.
