How to unlock the Paradise Found achievement in Sonic CD - Definitive Guide

UPDATE: Some users have reported that going through a special stage at the ending sign post AFTER destroying the robot teleporter in Act 1 and again in Act 2 has caused this achievement NOT to unlock. I don't remember if I entered a special stage or not, but it would be best to avoid them and just immediately continue on to the next Act.


New to the Xbox LIVE Arcade release is the addition of Miles "Tails" Power as an unlockable character. To get this achievement, you MUST use Sonic the Hedgehog (starting character). If you have never played Sonic CD (on Xbox LIVE Arcade), then you do not need to worry as Sonic the Hedgehog is the only playable character when you start a new game.

WARNING: This game's achievements (and this guide) has many references to the 1989 film Back to the Future Part II, such as 88 MPH (miles per hour) and alternate reality. If you haven't seen it, I'd highly recommend that you do as it can explain time travel pretty well.

First, lets understand time travel. You have 3 different timelines: PAST (i.e. yesterday), PRESENT (today/now), and FUTURE (tomorrow). When you start an act of a zone, you'll be in the PRESENT. If you are in the PRESENT, some signs say FUTURE and some say PAST. If you travel to the FUTURE, all time travel signs say PAST and will take you back to the PRESENT. If you travel to the PAST, all time travel signs say FUTURE and will take you forward to the PRESENT.

In other words, to get to the PAST from the FUTURE, you must go to the PAST (i.e. PRESENT), then go to the PAST again.


Easiest to do on the first zone (Palmtree Panic Act 1 and Palmtree Panic Act 2). The achievement unlocks after defeating Dr. Robotnik and setting the animals free in the capsule at the end of Palmtree Panic Act 3.

The first step is to get into the PAST. You will also unlock the achievement "88 Miles per Hour" along the way.

Now that you are in the PAST, you need to destroy the robot teleporter in Act 1 (3:14 in the video below) and the robot teleporter in Act 2 (6:04 in the video below). The robot teleporters will ONLY appear in the PAST. Act 3 will count as a Good Future automatically if you made a Good Future in the first two acts.

Destroying the Metal Sonic holograms while in the PAST are NOT required for this achievement, but are required for the "Saviour of the Planet" achievement.

NOTE: Since this game was originally released on the Sega CD (or Mega-CD) add-on device for the Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive), many YouTube videos might NOT contain gameplay from the Xbox LIVE Arcade release. Either way, they can still be a guide for unlocking some achievements.

One thing to add, this apparently doesn't work with Tails. I got the good future in all 3 zones, and it didn't pop. So I assume it has to be done with Sonic.

Another thing to add is that you can't get this achievement if you exit through a special stage ring. You have to complete the level and carry on (Or at least mine never popped the two times I destroyed it and went into a special stage right after).

I found the below video helpful for getting the achievement, I did it on the Palmtree Panic.

1. Hit a Past Post and travel to the past.
2. Find the robot teleporter in the level and destroy it.
3. Repeat for Zone 2.
4. In Zone 3, you'll notice that you are in the future. Complete the level and the Achievement is yours.

NOTE: ONCE IN THE PAST, DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE FUTURE.

Watch the video for more help.

In order to obtain this achievement, you will need to travel to the past in a Zone 1 or Zone 2, destroy the robot generator and the Metal Sonic hologram, and then travel to the future. Once you travel to the future, you will need to finish the level while still in the future.

To do this, simply find a robot teleporter in the past and destroy it to get a good future. Alternatively you can get all the Time Stones in the game to get an automatic good future for every zone. Regardless, once you have acquired a good future, from the past, run past a “Future” sign to be warped to the present and from the present find another “Future” sign post to run past to get to the Good Future. Beat the level from here. The achievement will pop up during your score tally. NOTE: This achievement is missable if you never destroy any robot teleporters or don’t get all time stones if avoiding robot teleporters.
