Game appearances

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)

The Soleanna Medals come in gold, silver and bronze. Gold medals are received after missions or objectives, such as accomplishing a Town Mission or finishing an Action Stage, making them this game's counterpart to the Emblems from Sonic Adventure and Sonic Heroes. Silver medals are hidden all throughout Soleanna and can be located around Town Stages and Action Stages, usually in difficult to reach or hidden places. Bronze medals are the objectives in some of the missions.

Sonic and the Secret Rings

In Sonic and the Secret Rings, the medals serve roles similar to those in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). There are three types of Medals in the game, Gold, Silver, and Bronze, each of them emblazed with Sonic's trademark head.

In gameplay, the player can earn Medals for each completed mission and defeated boss. The type of the Medal collected depends on the player's score and time. The Bronze medal is the lowest and the golden is the highest. Both the silver and gold Medals in particular unlock missions in Adventure Mode and items for the Special Book.

In normal stages, it is possible to get a maximum of three per level by getting S-Ranks. In the night levels, one medal is obtained depending on time, one depending on rings and one depending on Gaia Force points. There are total 103 Sun Medals and 71 Moon Medals.
