You actually don't need to mash the boost button to get the emeralds in sonic heroes. In reality, if you just hold it, it makes it look like you're going slower, but it makes the emerald slow down hence making it easier to obtain. try it for yourself and you'll see the difference! Also (and this is a theory of mine) when the bubbles start showing up in different formations, it's much better to switch to the character that matches that formation because I feel like they change that section's physics to acommodate the different characters' speed.
I was able to get all the Chaos Emeralds by pausing and unpausing the game whenever the game tries to screw me over, I’m not kidding, it’s awfuI, I absolutely loathed this game with a passion!
i remember these mini games bringing me to tears they were so frustrating as a kid
