Collectibles Types
The map tracks three distinct collectible categories, each with unique visual markers and collection methods across Sonic Frontiers’ open zones.
Memory Token
Memory Tokens unlock story sequences and character backstory content throughout the campaign. These tokens appear as glowing orbs in specific locations and require precise platforming to reach. Collecting all Memory Tokens in each zone is essential for experiencing the complete narrative.
Sound Memory
Sound Memory collectibles reveal additional lore through audio logs and background story elements. They’re often hidden in less obvious locations compared to other collectible types. These items provide context for the main story and expand on character relationships and world building.
Purple Token
Purple Tokens serve as currency for skill tree upgrades and character enhancement options. These tokens are scattered throughout each zone and often require solving environmental puzzles or completing platforming challenges. Gathering Purple Tokens is crucial for maximizing Sonic’s abilities and combat effectiveness.

- Group collectibles by elevation level, collecting ground-level items before tackling high-altitude platforming challenges
- Use the map’s zoom function to identify cluster areas where multiple collectible types appear close together
- Mark collected items on the map to track progress and identify remaining gaps in each zone
