How to unlock the Getting the Hang of Things achievement in SONIC UNLEASHED - Definitive Guide

To get this you have to finish an Act with Sonic and get an S ranking. I found this easier in the beginning levels (Windmill Isle Act 2 is recommended).

Make sure you learn the layout of a level so you know when to jump/slide/boost etc... Also wherever possible hold the X button down to gain massive speed boosts (don't just tap it like most people do).

Videos below of my exploits so far. Choose what you think is easiest!
Hope you enjoy. As bad as it sounds, it's a good idea to restart if you die--adding up points from the beginning instead of a recent checkpoint will--obviously--net you a higher score.

I unlocked this one while also going for the Blue Meteor Achievement. Since you lose so much time when you die, you really need a flawless run to get Blue Meteor, and the lack of death means all your points add up and will be multiplied by your fast time, making an S Rank easy to obtain.

There's only a handful of parts to Windmill Isle Act 1 that can slow you down, the low sandbag wall at the beginning if you don't jump, the walls you have to slide down, and after the long bit where you're grinding on the rails the first time there's a jump that lets you skip a brief platforming section. It's a short section...but every second counts. I messed up a jump at the very end of the level but because I had maxed out my speed and ring energy gauges I still made it to the end before the time required for Blue Meteor. Practice the level a few times to get a feel for it BEFORE you try to S Rank it. You need to practice it at normal speed before trying to run the level at...however fast Sonic can run with a maxed out speed gauge.

I find it easier to get S rank on Act 2 since they only take 1 minutes to beat most of the time. Remember, it'll be hard to get an S rank by getting there with good times, you have to kill enemies and get rings (you can do both by Boasting towards them)

When you complete a level, you get graded. You can get either an E, D, C, B, A or S. You need an S at least once to get this trophy using Sonic the Hedgehog. The recommended stage to get this trophy easily is Windmill Isle Day Act 2. Aim for the "Blue Meteor" trophy while doing this if you haven't gotten it already. Don't lose a life, don't get hit by any enemy, don't lose your rings, destroy as many enemies and finish the level as quickly as possible. You should get a S rank if you do so.

You need to get an S rank in any Day stage with Sonic for this achievement. Getting an S rank basically means getting over 150,000 points at the end of the stage.

An easy stage to do this in Apotos, Windmill Isle Act 2. Doing the time trails for the chili dog vendors should give you some good practice. Be sure to:
- Get under 02:30:00 (I had 02:26:53 to be precise).
- Aquire around 400 or so rings.
- Take out a good deal of enemies.
- Perfect both of the tricks (the jumps when you do button combinations).
- Use the Sonic Boost at all possible times.

This should get you that S rank.

If you are a bit further into the game, another easy S rank is Act 3 of Rooftop Run in Spagonia. All you need to do for this stage is find the 10 chaos littered about the place, so after a bit of memorizing, collecting rings and blasting some baddies you should easily get an S rank. I finished at 02:01:04 as well.

It is best to do this achievement after completely improving at least Sonic's speed. And in addition, you will receive all 4 techniques...


You need to get an "S" rating in any day mission. To get an "S" rating you need to score 150,000 or more points at the end of the stage.
The easiest way to do this is in "Apotos, Windmill Isle, Act 2". Completing timed tasks for the chili dog seller will be good practice here. To get "S" you need:

  • Complete a stage in less than 02:30:00.
  • Collect 400 or more rings.
  • Destroy as many enemies as possible.
  • Successfully complete both tricks (jumps during which you need to press buttons).
  • Use Sonic Boost wherever possible.
