| abstract | - Leave the GUN HQ and head southeast to the center of town. Talk to the GUN agent by the streetlight, then go south and grab the 8 rings around the center lamppost. Go southeast now under the hanging lights and talk to the man by the sky blue car for a Side Mission. Follow the road (and rings) down to the southwest and enter the shop down there. Purchase new equipment and items here; the Angel Amulet is probably the best thing to buy right now. The Bug Spray will also come in handy in a bit. Return to the center lamppost now and go north past the fire hydrant. Talk to the man by the yellow building to the northeast of it and you'll have a puzzle you need to solve. Now have Sonic dash through the pipes to reach a ramp, then dash down that as well to bounce off a springboard and land nest to some Wasp Swarms. If Sonic has learned the Whirlwind attack, use that against them. Follow the path left and have Tails or Rouge fly to the next roof over to the west. Take out the wasps here, then jump to land on the brown building. Take the ring here, then drop back down and go northeast for more rings. Jump up to the right to reach the Queen Wasp if you want to take her on (and you really should). Check the "Side Mission: Queen of the Swarm" box above for more info on defeating the Queen Wasp. After you take care of the Queen Wasp, return to Tails's Workshop to heal up, then go east of the workshop to find 2 rings by the airport and a Chao Egg farther east, by the hydrant. Go south of there, around the fence, to find a path to a manhole that goes down into the first hideout. Descend into the smell depths of the sewers to do so. You'll have two Swat Bots to deal with down here, and they must both be defeated in the same round, or the defeated one will be revived! Use POW Moves to defeat them, and Tails will find the Communicator #1 afterward. Take the ring here and open the box for some POW Candy and two Health Seeds. Now return to the surface. Heal again at the workshop, then take the blue pipe back to the rooftops. Before you go to the area where the wasps were, use Tails or Rouge to fly to the glass roof you zipped past earlier. Jump down to the last section, then jump up to the roof with the springboard on it to find 3 rings and a Chao Egg. Go back and use the springboard now and make your way around to where you jumped to the roof with the Queen Wasp on it, but this time, jump to the orange roof on the left. Take the 4 rings as the roof curves around, then jump to the light brown ledge. Go through the green door, and when you come out the other side, cross the checkered wall to the door on the right. Head through and open the box for some Bug Spray, POW Candy, and a Revival Ring. Go to the area below the springboard and jump down. Take out the Drones here, take the 3 rings, then heal your party before descending the stairs to the second hideout. Defeat the two Swat Bots down there as you did before, making sure to kill them both in the same round. Afterward, the Communicator #2 is yours. Take the one ring here and open the box for some POW Candy and two Health Seeds. Try to get your characters to Level 4 now so that Amy learns Smash II and Tails & Rouge learn Fly II. Once they do, go to the alley where the first hideout was located and have Amy Smash through the crates to find a Chao Egg. Next, head to the brown roof with the pipe tunnel, zoom down the ramps, then head back to the roof of the Chinese-looking building in the southeast corner. Have Tails or Rouge Fly across the gap there to the circular roof. Take the 6 rings here, then head north to find 5 more. Switch to Sonic and dash up the ramp to find a Chao Egg there, then jump down to find 2 rings. Now get to the lower-left edge and Fly to the top of the smaller round roof. Go left and Fly again to the roof of the yellow building, and grab the Chao Egg there. That's it for Central City for now, so go heal up one more time at Tails's Workshop, then go west back to the Green Hill Zone.
