Introduction
Sonic Unleashed is Sega's most recent entry in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise for the Xbox 360. It will take a while to get the full 1000, and it won't be a cake walk, but it's by no means impossible. For more details on all of the achievements and how to complete them, use the guide below.
Step 1: Story, Side Quests, & Upgrades (17 for 500)
This is the easiest part; just play through the game. Once you're done, you'll be able to go back and get all of the other achievements. Once you're done, you'll have all seven story-related achievements as well as the Partly Cloudy and Half Moon achievements, which are required as you go through the game. While playing through the game, be sure to get the Helping Hand, Hedgehunk, I Ain't Afraid of No Ghost, Get on the Exorcise Band Wagon, Lay the Smackdown, Wallcrawler, Airdevil, and Hyperdrive achievements by doing side quests and finding upgrades.
Step 2: Chili Dog Missions (9 for 90)
After you've completed the game, go back to each city and talk to the chili dog vendors, there is one in each city. You can buy special missions, and you'll need to complete all of them from the city's vendor for that city's achievement. Some of these are very hard, so you will need to practice! If you're struggling on a specific mission, try checking YouTube for a video to help you.
Step 3: Collection Achievements (7 for 100)
Now you get to slow down and do some collection achievements. Collect all sun and moon medals for Sunny and Full Moon respectively. Talk to everyone in every city for Social Butterfly, then buy and eat one of every food item for Hungry Hungry Hedgehog. Buy something from Wentos and give the professor every souvenir and you'll get First Time Customer, Oh, You Shouldn't Have!, and That's Enough, Seriously.
Step 4: S-Ranks and Time Trials (5 for 90)
These achievements are kind of hard, but with a few tries you should be able to get them. S-Rank one mission as Sonic the Hedgehog for Getting the Hang of Things and one as Sonic the Werehog for Creature of the Night. Next, get the Speeding Ticket, Blue Meteor, and Ace Pilot achievements using the guide below.
Step 5: Leveling (6 for 100)
If you haven't already, max out the stats for Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Werehog. You should have most, if not all, of these by now, but the achievements are: Blue Streak and Power Overwhelming for Sonic the Hedgehog and Basher, Smasher, Crasher, and Thrasher for Sonic the Werehog.
Step 6: Wrap-Up (6 for 120)
You should have most of these achievements at this point, but if not, go back and get BFFs by feeding Chip, Combo King by getting over 10,000 in cumulative combos, Ring Leader by cumulatively collecting 5,000 rings, and Knockout Brawler by defeating 1,000 enemies. Once that's done, beat every stage with both Sonic the Hedgehog and Werehog for Day Tripper and Hard Day's Night.
Conclusion
You did it! You now have 1000 on Sonic Unleashed. Congratulations!
