Where to Find Every Collection Box Key in Radical Highway in Sonic X Shadow Generations

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours logged into action-platformers, I must say that Radical Highway in Shadow’s Campaign is a true testament to the genre’s challenging spirit. The Collection Box Keys here are as elusive and tricky as a chameleon on roller skates!


In the final leg of Shadow’s journey, found on the Radical Highway, you’ll encounter the most challenging collectibles.

“The keys for the donation boxes on this level can be quite tricky to find and may require some challenging moves to obtain.

Fortunately, unlike other stages in this game, the current level does not require keys to overcome its difficulties. Defeating the final boss here doesn’t grant access to additional challenging stages either.

To clarify, these new keys will prove to be significantly trickier compared to their predecessors, as they conceal numerous less obvious detours.

Act 1

At first glance, you may anticipate finding the keys suspended high, necessitating your winged suit, but surprisingly, the first two are on the ground and neither of these locations accommodate the use of wings. Things become particularly challenging with the third key, so let’s delve into that aspect now.

KeyLocation
Music KeyRight at the start of the stage, jump on the spring, and boost into the small hole in the grate. After that, you’ll be sent on a route and put on a swing pole, just make sure to time it right and hit the blue part of the swing for your key.
Art Key #1While you’re sliding down the massive sloped building, after hitting a checkpoint, you might notice a bit of building with Rainbow Rings to the right. Jump onto that platform, dodge the lasers, and hit the Rainbow Ring at the end to get sent onto a rail, where you’ll get your second key.
Art Key #2This is the only one you need the wings for. When you get sent to a massive drop with an item box below you and a bridge underneath that, you’ll need to have your wings on, then fly forward and make sure not to lose height. The key is within a circle at the end, so you need to be right at the correct height and hit it, which can be kinda hard. If you mess up, hit the spring at the end of the bridge, go a little under the ring trail in front of you, fly backward, and hope.

Act 2

The unique feature of Radical Highway is that it doesn’t offer the common advantage associated with simpler paths, such as easier key retrieval.

As a gamer, I must say that Act 2 seems less cryptic compared to the initial act, yet those keys didn’t hold back on complexity and kept me searching for what felt like an eternity.

KeyLocation
Art Key #1A while into the stage, after fighting the first miniboss, don’t take the upper route on top of the floating pieces of road. Instead, get onto the bottom part of the floating roads, and get to the second spinning piece. Wait till it flips over, and you’ll find your key waiting for you.
Music KeyWhile you’re on the weird autorunning tube segment, you’ll go around the corner, so position yourself at the bottom right segment. You’ll have to quickly jump across a gap, grab the key, then jump again to keep it. This is a one-time thing, and you can’t go back, though, so if you mess up, you have to fall out of the world on purpose.
Art Key #2This one is a bit tricky, and you will need the wings again. When you hit a checkpoint just before a spring that leads to 10 rings and a ring capsule, you’ll be sent onto a bunch of rotating pieces of road. Get on the rightmost one, then use your wings to fly straight forward onto the path in front of you, where you’ll find your final key.
