Alternatively, you can just place a goal post after killing the rhinobots, no need to defeat the boss

This achievement is cumulative across all plays, and the achievement will pop upon finishing the act, however, rather than when the 10th is defeated

Rhinobots found in mission mode do not seem to count towards this achievement

Put simply, the best understanding is that the tally for that Act isn't "locked in" until the results screen, and entering a Special Stage (giant ring) or Bonus (sparkles above the sign post) reset that Act's total to zero, so it's best to dedicate a run (or two) of Angel Island Zone AVOIDING these things

This information has also been incorporated into the walkthrough

The following link leads to maps of Angel Island Zone that shows (among everything else) the location of the Rhinobots

Yeah, sorry... I'm pretty good at being, what some might call thorough, and what others might call unnecessarily lengthy in the things I say.

SonicRetro is where I was getting my detailed maps from to get chaos emeralds in Sonic 2/3&K as fast as possible. Though, for Sonic CD, I just followed a video guide for travelling to the past and finding the machines, but SonicRetro has detailed maps by the looks of it for Sonic CD too.

I can't wait for a patch that fixes the problem with this achievement and makes my information worthlessly outdated and you get to update the guide again once to reflect the achievement's intended simplicity.

To clarify (I'm the player from the forum), the achievement shouldn't need to be done in a single run, my progress was at 10% when I completed my first run of Angel Island Zone on Story Mode (which led me to testing things out and discovering what I did) and when I found that I gained progress after completing an act in a run where I had avoided the Special and Bonus stages in Anniversary Mode, it was equal to the number of Rhinobots I had destroyed that run plus the 10% I started with from Story Mode. I finished the achievement destroying the exact number I had remaining according to my progress at that point, though, that was also just by coincidence as I was merely running towards the end of the level assuming I'd easily get what remained along the way. This is evidence enough for me to conclude that the achievement is cumulative as expected and progress can gained between Story and Anniversary modes. I'd assume progress can also be made in both Classic and Mirror modes too, but that's just my assumption.

Also, I played on an original Xbox One, so I doubt what I've stated above is a problem with which Xbox console the game is played on.

I would also point out that there only appears to be 4 Rhinobots in Angel Island's Act 1 and an additional 6 in Act 2 or only 2 in the the Knuckles path of Act 2. I believe entering the Special stage (and maybe the Bonus Stage, my memory is admittedly fuzzy on that side of things) causes enemies to respawn, but as what I've said prior also suggests to avoid Special Stages, it shouldn't be possible to get the 10 kills in Angel Island Act 1 alone in a single playthrough, nor even in Act 2 if playing as Knuckles. I admittedly get these numbers from counting them out on maps of the levels which also show enemy placement on them from another website, though, with that said, I do trust the accuracy of the maps.

This seems to be the only glitchy achievement I've encountered, as it only seems to count one or two defeated when I've done more in a run of the Zone

This needs to be flagged as "buggy" 🪲 My progression meter doesn't move at all.

I'll work on condensing that info into the solution, thanks!! Was that by any chance the Zone0 website? Their maps are great! A little off this topic but invaluable in Sonic CD 100% runs

I managed to get it to pop in no save mode. You need to complete the first zone apparently. Didn't check the progress meter on the way, it just popped.

According to friends it seems to be no problem on Xbox One (they played on X), I play on a Series X currently and had quite some trouble with it.

Could be possible all 10 need to be done in one run 🤔 I'm sure I had three or four going in for a second run and I don't feel like I got all 10 in a single run but could be wrong. I'll add to the guide it may be needed to get all 10 in one run and then finish the Zone

A user on the forums sussed it, you can't enter a special stage/bonus stage otherwise it voids any you defeated before entering.

I can confirm that it is possible using Debug Mode. Enter Angel Island Act 1 with Debug Mode activated, spawn as many Rhinobots as you want, destroy them and complete the stage (without entering special stages, but from what I've seen dying doesn't interfere with the chievo). Once you defeat the mini boss and Act 2 loads, the achievement should pop up.

Sonic Retro is great resource also! SonicZone0 is slightly more thorough in that it also doubles as a "how to get the most from your game" kind of feel. No apology necessary, I am exactly the same, especially in written word. On that note, Sonic Origins Walkthrough is now up for review and should be published shortly

Load up Sonic 3.

On title menu for the game, press cn_upcn_upcn_downcn_downcn_upcn_upcn_upcn_up (You'll hear the sound of a ring).
Press cn_start. Go down twice to find Sound Test. On this menu, go down to the sound test option, and play the following sounds in order: 01 09 09 04 01 00 01 08 (You'll hear the sound of a ring).

Go to Angel Island 2 (we go to 2 instead of 1 to skip the intro), and because (unlike the other guide says), the other levels don't have these enemies.

Move forward through the level a little bit until you get to a flat-ish area. The area I used as a pink flower on the left that's on fire.

Press cn_X to go into debug mode. Press cn_A nine times to get to the Rhinobot enemy. To place them, press the Y button. Put as many as you want, but at least 10.

Now press cn_A seven times to go to the item box. Press cn_B five times to get to the invincibility item box and place it.

Next, press cn_A five times to get to the animal container. Put that just to the right (with cn_Y] where you can jump on it when you're done. Return back to Tails, press [cn_x] to exit debug. Activate the invincibility, kill the rhinobots, and then move to the right to destroy the animal container to end the level.

Saves you going through the whole level, and pops this achievement.

Hope this helps.

The Rhinobot looks like THIS. They appear in Angel Island Zone. This is cumulative. To save achievement progress, you have to finish the level. You can also spawn them in debug mode. Refer to the roadmap for doing so.

Note that you can only spawn these in Angel Island Zone (any Act), and that the achievement won't unlock until you complete the stage. So, spawn them in, destroy them all, then beat the stage to unlock this achievement.

Rhinobots are the one-wheeled rhinoceros looking enemies found in Angel Island Zone. For this trophy you must defeat 10 of them. They only count AFTER finish the act, so make sure you complete the act after defeating the 10th one. This carries over between playthroughs, so if you do not get it initially just restart the game and continue defeating Rhinobots until you have 10, then finish the act.

Here it is better to use Debug mode (See how to turn on debug mode in “Complete clear!”), after you hear the characteristic sound in the sound test, go to angel island act 1, and as soon as you gain control of the hero, press square and then press 8 once the cross so that you have a rhinoceros robot. Well, to place this enemy, click on the triangle. After you destroy 10 rhinobots in this way, go through the entire level to the end and the trophy is yours

Enemies are counted after passing the level. Personally, it took me several times to run through the first two levels to find 10 of these enemies - somehow there are not enough of them in the locations.
