Guitar Hero :: Smash Hitz
Guitar Hero: Smash Hits is a compilation of the "best" songs from the original Guitar Hero titles up through Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Adding nothing new to the franchise, what this version does is update those songs to feature band support via your World Tour kit, giving you 48 tunes in the set list that are master tracks. Also, additional difficulty levels, eight new natural wonder-themed venues, and the now standard GH customization tools including the Music Studio, GHTunes, and the Rock Star Creator round out the feature list. With those updates in mind, this is a title for GH players that simply must have full band support - everyone else can easily skip this entry and wait for Guitar Hero 5.
As you can probably imagine, everything you needed to know about this title was encapsulated in the previous paragraph. Of course, here at CheatCC we give short shrift to no title. On that note, Smash Hits' biggest draw is its 48 song set list. These songs are all master tracks of classic Guitar Hero tunes featured in the days when plastic guitar peripherals were the only virtual instruments you had cluttering your living room. While playing through these jams with an entire cadre of friends is an important upgrade, the set list selection is suspect. Sure, taste in music is decidedly subjective, but it's hard to believe "Killer Queen," "Nothin' But A Good Time," and "Cherry Pie" qualify as smash hits. Thankfully, as always, the fidelity of the tunes is of high quality, and the note lanes nicely mimic the appropriate instruments.
Far less compelling are the tweaked classic stages and eight new natural wonder-themed venues. It is true that the characters, crowds, stages, lighting effects, failure animations, etc. all look crisp. However, the visuals aren't really any different than what was featured previously. Besides, does anyone even look at anything other than the note lanes? Maybe just at the artwork on your wall for that franchise-defining, psychedelic effect.
Similarly, all the customization features that players have come to expect from the Guitar Hero franchise have been included, so core players can mess around. These tools include the Rock Star Creator (for playing dolly), the Music Studio (for creating original GH tracks), and GHTunes (to publish, manage, and download user-created music). While I find these aspects to be both powerful and rewarding, the vast majority of players will likely skip this functionality altogether.

Getting unlockables
Always talk to the townsfolk/villagers more than once. They might have an unlockable item for you.
Quick start
In a day level, swing the Wii-mote during the starting countdown between "1" and "Go". If done correctly, Sonic will start with a Spindash boost.
Defeating Beetle
When battling Dr. Eggman's first robot, Beetle, collect the coins so you can dash him when he tries to pincer you. This fight consists of him releasing three boxes from a distance (just run around them), then moving in close to pincer you. Jump then dash in to him when this happens. Once he is down to a certain amount of health, a side view will appear. He will start on the right-hand side and fire three missiles. The pattern of how they come at you depends on how their engines fire up; watch closely. He will then move to the middle of the screen. He will pincer attack once or twice. Just dodge them. Finally he will move to your right again and try to pincer you. Jump, then watch for the homing target, and give it to him.
Defeating Dark Gaia
You will first play as the Gaia Colossus against Dark Gaia. When Dark Gaia opens his hands, quickly hit him with two hands or let him swing his arms and dodge them, giving you a chance to hit him with a normal punch until you finish him off. Next, you will play as normal Sonic. Start running through the Gaia Colossus, and dodge Dark Gaia's tentacles and bullets. Run to the Speed Dash, and hit the correct combination. You must do this three times, each time for one eye. The levels get more difficult, so be careful. Finally, you will play as Super Sonic. Start collecting rings, and attack Complete Dark Gaia's eyes (seven in total). You will need at least eleven rings to attack an eye. Keep track of your ring count. Start hitting the side eyes, and dodging the rocks that are ahead, which get harder by the eye, until he opens his middle eye. Attack the eye, look all around for flying rocks, and hit the last eye. The score is an "S" or "C", so watch your time.
Use the following trick to dodge Gaia's six hand attack. While playing as Super Sonic in the final showdown against Dark Gaia, when he has all his small eyes open, he will try to slash you. A short time later he will get mad and attack with all six claws. It is possible to dodge this attack. Go just under the big eye in the middle of the slash. There is a small square you can fit in. You will not take any damage. However, if you get slashed, you will lose all your rings and fall into the lava.
Defeating the Egg Dragon
The Egg Dragon is pretty easy to defeat. When he shoots ice balls at you, run away from them. When he shoots fire balls at you, jump or run away from them. When he comes in close to the rock field, jump and slice his power core (the light on his chest). Keep hitting it, then when he swings his sword later in the fight, double jump to avoid it. Finally, when he stabs the ground, jump.
Defeating aerial enemies
When fighting aerial enemies as Sonic the Werehog (Dark Sonic), jump and attack once to bring them down. Then, unleash your fury on them.
