In Sonic Superstars, players may discover a hidden third level located behind a Penguin on the World Map, in the same area where Acts 1 and 2 of "Bridge Island" are located. These unique levels, known as "Fruit" stages, offer players the opportunity to earn medals and compete against others for a high score in multiplayer mode.
Although Sonic Superstars does not explicitly provide instructions on accessing the Fruit Stages, players are likely to come across the necessary item as they progress in the game. This guide will detail the steps to access the Fruit Stages and also includes a brief video demonstrating gameplay in the first Fruit Stage. Sonic Superstars features a range of additional stages that can be unlocked throughout the game, with "Fruit" stages being just one type.
How to Unlock Act "Fruit"
To access Act "Fruit," players must first obtain fruit, a rare collectible that can be discovered in different stages of the game or earned through the roulette wheel in Act 2 of most Zones. If players successfully land on the Animal Capsule on the "Fruit" icon, they will receive a piece of fruit. These fruits are often cleverly hidden in secluded areas of the stages, promoting thorough exploration and replaying of levels to uncover alternate paths.
In each level of the "Fruit" Act, the layout may differ, but players must continuously move to avoid an advancing laser barrier. The main objective is to collect as many rings as possible while navigating through the level. Rings can be found individually scattered around the level, as well as collected in large quantities from ring balloons and special targets. The player who gathers the highest number of rings by the end of the Act will be declared the winner.

The Act concludes with a chest that grants additional rings and a medal. Additionally, there are golden Medal Balloons spread across each Act that, when burst, yield a medal. Act "Fruit" presents a great opportunity to acquire extra medals for the shop. The accompanying video showcases gameplay from the initial "Fruit" Act, which is located alongside the other "Bridge Island" Acts on the World Map. Sonic Superstars is playable on PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
