After you've seen those machines going in circles you'll see a shortcut leading to the left go through it. This shortcut is for every character type.Finally the first Power shortcut anyway when you see the lava falling on the ground you'll go to the left go forward a bit more until you see a shortcut you know what to do go through it.You know that jump that if you don't do anything you'll just die because you didn't do any tricks or didn't charge up your jump enough to get to the platform anyway when you are a few feet away from the Trick Ramp charge up the jump let the button go once you're on the Trick Ramp, the reason why you want to do this is there's a platform above the lower one.Objective: Defeat Storm! (Finish in 1st Place) The last shortcut for this stage, after you've gone through the third Air Ride/normal path you'll see a Trick Ramp charge up to get to the higher platform rather than taking the regular path.After you're done with the second Air Ride/riding through waterfall you'll see a ramp for you to do Air Ride so go ahead and do it.If you didn't succeed the first Air Ride and charge up jump, that's okay because before you ride in the waterfall you'll see a lot of water dropping to the ground so go into it and be prepared to charge up to do Air Ride.If you accidenly fall from Air Ride before you get to the ramp, charge up once you've gotten near the Trick Ramp and let it go cause there's a platform above.Once you see the Grinding Rail immediately turn left and charge up to use Air Ride.EVER! Since so many cars go through that tunnel, you'll constantly get hit and slow down, possibly causing you place. Word of warning: Since Sonic isn't a Power type, whatever you do, never use the right tunnel.

Try to take full advantage of the Speed type shortcuts in this level and you should finish in at least second place.If you are the trickster sort, the jumps at the beginning and near the end are good places to rack up on air on your skills.If you end up in fourth place, just try to catch up to the COM in third.Immediately after the tunnels there will be a jump on the left which will allow you to grind on a rail.When nearing a drop after the dip in the track, stick to the left, as there will be a drop (where you can jump off of if you time it right) and an immediate split into two tunnels.If you fail, dodge the cars, then grind on the rail incoming on the right. When nearing the first jump, charge up while tilting forward: if you launch right, you'll land on the higher platform above all the cars.
