Retro Game Walkthroughs for Sonic Gems Collection (PlayStation 2)
Submitted By: schummi
Walkthrough:
From the start, travel right to the first pillar where you will fall down a hole. Head right, you will pass a moving platform, until you pass 3 Powerpods. There should be a dead end to the right of the third powerpod. Wait for the moving platform to come down and jump onto it. Wait till it gets as high as it can go and double jump out of the hole. Go right again. When you reach a bunch of photons in a "V" shape, there will be a hole underneath them.
Fall down that hole and continue to follow the path that you can go(you can only go one way). When you are able to go left and right, head left. When you see more mushrooms, jump on the first one, and double jump to the topmost right-hand corner. Blast down the wall and destroy the powerpod at the end of the tunnel. This powerpod contains an extra life. Retrace your steps and go right. You should find another platform down the tunnel, jump onto it, double jump out of the hole to the right and you've completed the stage!
Scene 3 - Bog Jam
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
This is a pretty long level, and this walkthrough is pretty confusing. I'll try my best, though. Jump on the first branch of the first tree you see to the right. "Climb" up the tree until its not possible for you to go any higher. Jump to the right (double jump) and land on a crooked branch. Continue up this tree, until you see a branch that connects two trees ("bridge").
On that branch, jump left and land on another "bridge". Head left and double jump to the branch above it. Double jump over to a pair of upside down crooked branches. Double Jump to the left. Double jump to the right and climb up it until you reach another "bridge" branch. Go up by jumping on the alternating trees until you reach 2 parallel "bridges". Go right until you finish the stage(there's a powersac along the way, partially covered by moss, it contains an extra life).
Scene 4 - In Blackest Night
Boss Match # 1
Destroy these two heads by shooting them. Beware to not touch them. This boss shouldn't be too bad.
Scene 5 - Fired
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
This is a pretty straightforward level. Just continue right, avoiding bug attacks and the lava (TIP: if you collect the scorpion power-up, you can walk on the lava). You should climb up a "mountain" and go down it along the way.
Bonus Level - Tubular
After Scene 5, you will be taken to a bonus level. Attack the bugs with your ship as you fly through a tube. Collect as many photons as you can and rack up a high score. The more "clocks" you collect, the more time you will have. If you do well enough, you will eventually finish the Bonus level like any of the other stages. This is a great way to get extra lives and points.
Scene 6 - Magma P.I.
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
At the start, climb up until you reach the top of the mountain. Head right and fall down when you see a lava waterfall. When you back to the bottom, journey to the right. Climb up a small mound, and you will see some rock blocking your path on the top of the hill. Jump and shoot downwards to open the hole up and fall down and head to the right to finish this stage.
Scene 7 - Turn Up the Heat
Boss Battle # 3
This level is pretty hard. This lava monster will charge move in one direction so shoot it a few times and jump. DON'T get caught in the corner and don't land in the lava. After a few hits, it will go down.
Scene 8 - Orbit Express
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
This is the first skating level. Obviously, you're on skates and move much quicker than on foot. All skating levels are short, but not necessarily easy. Skate your way to the right, the entire level, trying to avoid getting hit by the flying and jumping bugs.
Scene 9 - Dirty Job
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
Travel to the right until you're on top of a dirt mound. Jump and shoot downwards and carve a path below you. Do the same on the next dirt mound and then make a path to the right. It gets a little tricky after this. Make a path upward, using the metal platforms to help you. Go to the right and go to the open platform to end the level.
Scene 10 - Vectorman 1 2 3
Vital Information:

Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
This is another skating level, second so far. Keep going right and avoid the bugs.
Scene 11 - I can dig it
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
From the get-go, shoot your way to the right. When you reach a clearing in the rocks, fall down. Shoot your way to the right and you'll reach a small opening. Stand there and thats the end of the level.

Go up another series of platforms to jump up towards the right to reach a new level. Go right to finish the level.
