Okay! Let's get started! First thing you need to know above all things, there will be a lot of green ooze in this stage so don't fall into it, it's for your own safety. Secondly, make sure you have certain items because you'll need them to defeat this stage.
The characters go in order like this:
Tails 
Dr. Eggman
Rouge
Knuckles
Sonic

1.Tails
Destroy the 4 dynamite packs in front of you. Then, you should see a robot with a sheild. Aim, but don't shoot until he prepares to fire at you. The next room should lead to a robot with a bomb, just shoot it. In the next room is something you can't shoot. Before you enter a room, in the center of the room is a timer. As you can tell, the timer doesn't last long. Before you enter the next room, shoot the timer. It stops so shoot it again and then shoot the liquid robot before the timer stops. Then, go on to the small platform and it should take you up. You can shooot the floating robots on the way up. When you reach the top, destroy the dynamite packs. Then, go in and stop the timer and go throught before the timer stops. Destroy the bomb robot then hover, slowly, to the non-moving platform that should be below you (it's right next to the wall). WHen you land there, shoot all three bomber robots. Then you should hover slowly to the door. Destroy the dynamite packs and then quickly kill the bomber robot. You should see another room with a liquid robot. Aim and wait until he pops his head out and shoot. By now, the robots should be in back of you so shoot them too. The next room should have two drop weights. Stop the timer and go through. Destroy the bomber robot  and stop the timer. Go on the hovering platform before time runs out. Then, when you reach the solid floor, jump onto it. Aim for the timer and wait for the weight to fall, then shoot Jump on the weight and then onto the center platform. Stop time again and jump. Shoot all the robots you can and then shoot the ones that land. Shoot the door until it blows up.

2. Dr. Eggman
First, aim for the three sheilded robots. When the two in front prepare to fire, shoot. Then, go into the next room and stand at the center. The robots should surround you first. Shoot all of them and then go into the next room. Shoot the bomber robot  and land on the floating platform and go up. Destroy the robots on the way up. Hover to the platform and go into the next room. Two liquid robots should be there. Destroy them and enter the next room. Shoot the 20+ rings  and hover slowly downward and you should grab the lever thingy. You should stop in front of two shielded robots, wait for them to aim, then fire. Go into the next room and two floating robots should be there. Shoot them and go into the next room. Three floating liquid robots should come down, just aim and shoot them. After killing them, turn on the timer and kill the frozen liquid robot. Then, enter the next room that should be full of blocks and green ooze. (DON'T FALL INTO THE GREEN OOZE! IT JUST MAKES YOUR POWER GO DOWN IN BIG CHUNKS!!!)
Look on your right and you should see a block that goes up. Stop time, hover, and land on it. Stop time again (by aiming and shooting) and hover forward. Below is a platform  that points up, jump on it and let the timer stop. You should see a block ahead of you with the up mark on it. You should see a door, hover and enter the next room. Go foward and a robot should appear, shoot it and then stop time. Quickly move forward. You should see a platform, hover, but sorta land on it, it falls very quickly. The mebst thing for you to do is hover and stay at the walls so you would know where to hover to. Then, below, you should see three timers. Shoot at least one of them and  and go foward. Land on the platform that goes up and down. Shoot the balloon and go into the next room. Two liquid robots should be there. Aim, wait for their heads to pop up, and then shoot. Go to the next room and this should be another place with blocks and green ooze. As you can see, there platform with the up on it goes to the center platform. Stop time an dtry to get on this platform. If you do, go to the door and destroy it.

3. Rouge
By now, you should be that this stage and the next two are really hard to master. Anyway, when you being the stage, you notice that the switch is in front of you, but it's sealed up. Don't fall into the water because the curren will drag into one of those holes and kill you. If you haven't noticed, there are pillars on the center platform. One has a beige-colored top, go and climb to the top of it. When you get to the top, fly to to the next pillar in across from you. Keep doing that until you get to the last one. The last one should have a timer on top of it.  Before youg touch it, down at the right is an opening that is covered by a waterfall. Use the timer and quickly  go through the waterfall. When you get to the next room, there should be a couple of blocks going in and out of the green ooze. A block goes out of another room. When it comes out, push the timer on the wall in front of you. G into the next room and the liquid robot should bee on the center platform. Destroy it and push the button. Go back and push the timer. Get out of the room, push the timer, and go out the waterfall...HIT THAT BUTTON!!!

4. Knuckles
You're probably tiered and wanting to turn off the game. If you stop, you will have to start all over with Tails. Now, get all the rings on the surface. Remember Rouge and you had to use the timer? You have to use that timer on the beige-colored platform. Now, before you use it, look straight ahead and you should see a floating liquid robot guarding a lazer field. Go underwater and click the timer, then quickly go to the surface and go through the lazer field and break through the metal boxes.  You should bounce up and then hit the switch button and the lazer feild underwater should dissapear. Go thorugh the meat box ahead of you . Go out of the small opening before the liquid robot hits you. To do the rest of this stage, you need the underwater necklace or you won't be able to defeat this level. You can get it in Aquatic Mine. Anyway, go through the opening that the lazer filed dissapeared at.  Go thorugh the opening and two liquid robots should be there, on the above wall where the opening is, is the timer. Push that and  then push the button on the center platform. Psh the timer and then go through the opening. Do it quickly  because the curring will push you back if you run out of time.  YOu should be in a room full of lazers. Go down and you should see the time, push it quickly and go through the opening. Quickly push the other timer and go through. As you can see, there are numerous metal boxes you can't break. Go through quickly and push the button for the door.

5. Sonic
This is the last stage. You must be happy by now. This is the most difficult stage in Cannon's Core. This is pretty much easy, if you know how to do the magic hands attack and you have the bounce bracelet. First, stop time and do the homing attack to get across. Defeat the floating liquid robot and go into the open  room. Destroy the two sheilded robots and stay there. Press Y button until you see 'magic hands'. Push B button and throw the robot away. The next room has a current so defeat the robot above and stop time. Go below and somersault through and the current should pull you down. You should see two timers, use one of them to stop time and go up, you should be carried by another current. You're on your own from this point. It's like playing 'Lost World' from SA. YOu should reach the goal at the end of the currents.
