MAGINARYWORLD…
A world in another dimension where Sonic and his friends will embark on a
new Adventure.
A world where dreams and reality co-exist.
Maginaryworld is held together by the power of the Precioustone, a jewel
created from the hopes and dreams of people living in different dimensions.
One day, a monster known as Void appears in Maginaryworld and shatters
the power of the Precioustone.
Without the power of the
Precioustone, Maginaryworld is
faced with the danger of unraveling
at the very seams of its existence.
In order to save Maginaryworld,
Lumina Flowlight, the Guardian
Fairy, sends out a message to the
other worlds in search of a hero
who can help restore
Maginaryworld.
The message is sent out, in search of someone with courage and heart…
…And Sonic and his friends receive it.
Sonic and his friends must battle not only Void, but also Eggman, who learned
of the power of the Precioustone and followed Sonic into Maginaryworld.
Receiving a deck of Magical Cards and Forcejewels from Lumina, Sonic and his
friends must embark on an adventure to restore Maginaryworld.

The game will be saved to the memory card at the beginning of a turn.
Ending
The board will end when all the Precioustones have been collected.
The winner will be decided by the number of Emblems that were collected. See
Page 9 for more about Emblems. You will only be able to advance to the next stage
if you are in first place at the end of the board. If you are unable to place first, you
must play the same board over again.
At the end of each board in STORY mode, the rings you collected during the game
will be put into the Sonic Bank. You can then buy pictures using these rings in the
SONICROOM. See Page 8.
Playing Order

Forcejewels is displayed. At the bottom right of the VMUscreen is a
ring icon that displays whether you are in Lightness (plus sign) or
Darkness Mode (minus sign).

Space as another player. If there are already several players on
the same space, the latest arrival must duel against the first
person to land on that particular space. The loser in a duel will
either lose rings or rest one turn if they have no rings.
Saving
In this mode, the game will not be saved and the rings collected in VERSUS Mode will not
be added to the Sonic Bank.
Ending
The game will end when all the Precioustones have been collected. The winner will be
decided by the number of Emblems that were collected. See Page 9 for more about
Emblems. When the players have completed the board, the game will end and the Title

to display the Human/COMMenu to change these settings and rejoin the game.
VERSUS (1-4 Players)

from 2-7 Precioustones. This will determine the play time of the game. The more
Precioustones, the longer it will take to clear the game.
Finally, confirm the settings made and select “YES” to start the game.
SonicShuffleManual10_13 10/13/00 2:10 PM Page 6

The following rules and instructions apply to both STORYand VERSUSModes:
Join Sonic and his friends in the kind of adventure only Sonic can have! This is a
board-game with a difference. There aren’t any dice. You and your friends must use
the special cards given to you by the fairy Lumina to help Sonic and the others move
across dynamic 3-D board maps that change as you advance through the game.
Use the cards to move across the board and collect the pieces of the Precioustones
that will appear somewhere on the board.
The cards will also allow you to battle monsters when you land on a Battle Space.
When you defeat a monster, you will receive a Forcejewel. The Forcejewel is a
special item that can be used to help you move across the board or to hinder the
other players. You can also get Forcejewels in certain mini-games or buy them at the
shop using rings that you collect as you advance through the game.
You can collect rings by landing on a Ring Space, or by beating your friends in one
of the many mini-games. Mini-games are triggered when you land on an Event
Space.

Select TUTORIAL to read the following instructions for the game.
GAME OBJECTIVE
Here the objective of the game is explained. The player who collects the most
Emblems is the winner. The way to collect Emblems is also described here.
CARDS
This is where you can find out what each card means and how they can be used.
SPACES
This is where you can learn about the different types of spaces.
Everyone’s hangin’ out in Sonic’s Room after the game!
Grab those rings you collected and join the fun.
Sonic has a photo album full of memorable scenes from the
game on his coffee table.
You’ll need the rings you collected during STORY Mode to
purchase the pictures in the album. The pictures you can
purchase will increase as you advance through the game.
By purchasing specific pictures, you’ll see new items such as a
Toy Box or a Stereo set appear in Sonic’s Room. The Toy Box will allow you to play all
the Mini-Games you played in the STORY Mode.
Certain pictures will also allow you to use new characters in VERSUS Mode.
Other than the items that appear when you purchase the pictures, new items will
also appear as you play the game, such as dolls of the characters, plants, and fish in
the aquarium.
Select which memory card to save to or load from.

Emblems
It’s fun to demolish your friends in the mini-games or to give
them a hard time using the Forcejewels, but don’t forget your
ultimate goal is to be the player with the most Sonic Emblems
at the end of the game.
There are 5 different ways you can get an Emblem.
1. Collect the Precioustones.
2. Be the player with the most rings at the end of the game.
3. Be the winner in the Board clear mini-game. (→P. 19)
4. Fulfill the Quest of the Board. (→P. 12)
5. Be the winner of the most Duels (→P. 7 VERSUS Mode only).
Don’t forget that if two players have the same number of Emblems, then the winner
will be the player with the most rings. If two players or more have both the same
number of Emblems and rings, then the winner will be decided by the playing order
with the first player being the winner.
SonicShuffleManual10_13 10/13/00 2:10 PM Page 8

Plus Ring Spaces
Normally, you will receive 3 rings if you land on a Plus Ring Space.
Once the final Precioustone has appeared, this number will double.
Minus Ring Spaces
Normally, you will lose 3 rings if you land on a Minus Ring Space.
Once the final Precioustone has appeared, this number will double.
Ring Space Combos
If you continue to land on either Plus Ring Spaces or Minus Ring Spaces for
consecutive turns, you will gain or lose up to 5 times the amount of
rings. Therefore if you land on a Plus Ring Space two times in
succession, you will receive double the amount of rings, then triple
if you land on a 3rd Plus Ring Space on your next turn and so forth.
Even if you land on more than 5 consecutive Plus Space Rings, you
will only receive a maximum of five times the number of rings. A
combo will continue even if you land on a Minus Ring Space after
a Plus Ring Space.
Light Mode and Darkness Mode
This is when Eggman periodically descends on the board to wreak havoc on the
players.
Light Mode
This will mean that landing on a Plus Space will win you +5 rings and landing on a
Minus Space will cost you –1 ring.
Darkness Mode
This will mean that landing on a Plus Space will win you +1 ring and landing on a
Minus Space will cost you –5 rings.
These modes also affect ring combos when they are landed on a certain number of
times on the board:
Plus Ring Spaces Every 15 times (Darkness Mode)
Minus Ring Spaces Every 10 times (Light Mode)
Game play will return to normal when a mode ends.
Three icons will be displayed in the middle of the screen when
it is your turn.
Icons
Press the D-Pad to select an icon and press to enter.
The icons from left to right are as follows:
STORY MODE:
System Icon – Select this to display another three icons:
Sound – Switch between Stereo/Mono
Card Display Position - Select whether to display your cards on
top or in a fixed position.
COM Speed - Increase the speed of the COM players.
Card Icon – Switch to the card selection screen.
Forcejewel Icon – View your Forcejewels or select one for use.
VERSUS MODE:
This is the same as for Story Mode with the addition of the following:
System Icon - There is a fourth option:
Human/COM – Change the player from human to COM or
change the computer difficulty level.
You have the option to play any of the available cards, whether they are in your
hand or not. The cards in your hand are displayed on the screen of your VMU.
Played cards are displayed in the Trash Can window to the right of the screen. Press
the D-Pad to select a card, then press to enter your selection. If you do
not have a VMU, make sure you reshuffle your cards after choosing one, to confuse
the other players! You will then move the number of spaces indicated on your card.

Jump Space
Bounce to another space.
Your opponent will show you a card with a number from 1 to 6. You
have two attack options, which are indicated by the two onscreen
icons. The first is to play a card that is either the same number or
higher than your opponent’s. A roulette will spin displaying every
number from 1 to the number value of your card. Press to stop
the roulette. You will perform a critical hit if you hit your opponent
with the same number as its HP. You will defeat your opponent and
win a Forcejewel if the number the roulette stops on is the same as
or higher than that of your opponent and you will lose rings if you are defeated. If you are
defeated and have no rings left, you will have to miss a turn. As with all other Sonic games,
you only need a single ring to remain safe.
The second option is to play one of your Forcejewels - if you have one.
After winning a battle in VERSUS Mode, another roulette will appear showing the portraits
of the other players on the board. Press to stop the roulette and you can steal coins
from another player. If you perform a critical hit in STORY Mode, you will receive 2
Forcejewels and in Versus Mode you will be able to steal twice the number of rings from
another player.

Precioustone Spaces
These are where Precioustones appear. Only one Precioustone will
appear on the board at a time. You will have to fight a battle if you
land on a Precioustone Space where there is a Precioustone. See
Page 12 for more about battles. You will be pushed back 1-6
spaces if you lose the battle.
Any damage that you receive will be added, so that you will start the next battle with
the same HP as you had when you finished the last one.
The next Precioustone will appear in a new location if you win.
When you take a Precioustone, Eggman will take half of the rings from the player
furthest away from the Precioustone by dropping a huge weight on him or her.
When you win the 2nd, 4th and 6th Precioustones, one of the Precioustone Spaces
will become a Void Precioustone.
Void Precioustone Space
Land on one of these to trigger an event.
Pay 50 rings and you can take a Precioustone from another player using the roulette.
If you succeed in stealing a Precioustone, you will be moved to another square.
Revolving Spaces
There is a 50% chance that it will turn you around to head in the
direction you came from when you cross over one of these
spaces. Nothing will happen if you land on top of one.
What are Precioustones?
The Precioustone is a crystallized form of the dreams of
all people.
14
Event Spaces
Land on one of these to trigger either a Mini-Event or a Mini-Game.
Regardless of who actually lands on the Event Space, all the players
will be involved in a Mini-Game. However, only the player who lands
on the Event Space will be involved in a Mini-Event.
Mini-games
There are too many Mini-Games in Sonic Shuffle to list in this instruction manual.
Before each game starts, some brief instructions are displayed. Press the D-Pad
to view different pages and press to start playing. You will either win or lose
rings in a Mini-Game and may also win a Forcejewel.
Result Screens
After the Mini-Game ends, the number of rings that every player lost or won will
be displayed. After this, a second Results Screen will be displayed that shows won
or lost bonus rings in the Mini-Game plus the present rank of every player in the
board game. A player could move from 2nd place to 3rd place by losing lots of
rings in a Mini-Game.
Accident Mini-games
With the exception of 4th Dimension which only has 1, each board has 2 specific
mini-games that will be accidentally triggered at a certain point. Just as with the
other mini-games, the instructions for playing will be displayed on the screen before
the Mini-Game starts.
Mini-events
You must answer a simple question in a Mini-Event with the following
consequences:
1. You may win or lose rings
2. You may receive or lose a Forcejewel
3. You may be moved closer to or further from a Precioustone
4. You may have to miss a certain number of turns
5. You may have to fight a monster in a battle

Void
A mysterious character who always appears 1 step ahead of Sonic
and the others and destroys the Precioustone.
He suddenly appeared at the Temple of Light which is located in the
center of Maginaryworld and shattered the Perfect Precioustone.
Thereafter, Void appears in the different lands of the Maginaryworld
and further shatters the Precioustones (shattered pieces of the
Perfect Precioustone).
Void is a boy with a far away look in his eyes and shows no emotion at all. At times
he speaks as if talking to himself and expresses his deep feelings, which have a
sense of sadness to them.
Illumina
She is the guardian angel of Maginaryworld who
resides in the Temple of Light and protects the
Perfect Precioustone.
When Void shattered the Perfect Precioustone,
Illumina disappeared from Maginaryworld. She
sometimes appears in the dreams of Sonic
and the others.
She has a warm and mysterious smile and fills the hearts of the listeners with joy and
warmth with her words and the music from her harp.
Eggman
Eggman’s role in this game is to ruin your day. Learn to expect him
to show up whenever things are going well for you.
