Then go into the Twinkle Park building, and instead of entering Twinkle Park, enter Twinkle Circuit. You will hear a special noise that tells you that the secret is unlocked. Now just repeat the process for all the characters.

Easy Emblems as Knuckles
If you are having trouble getting the 1 minute emlems as Knuckles, here is a trick that will make it much easier. Find the first emerald shard, but don't touch it! Instead, pause the game and restart the level. Now run to it as fast as you can. Since the shards act as save-points, find the next one and repeat. Do this until you have all three.

Golden Chao Baby
There are two open shops in the part of Station Square with the open manhole. The golden chao's egg is in one of them. Unfortunately every time you lift the egg from its pressure sensitive platform, the doors are barred shut. Go to the city hall area where you fought Chaos 0 and look near the walls and grass. An egg-shaped rock is here, and you can put it on the platform in the store. You may now leave freely with the golden chao egg.

One-and-a-Half Play
When you are playing Sonic's action stages and Tails is on the screen, a second player can control Tails with a second controller. Any rings Tails collects will be added to Sonic's totals. Be careful to not make Tails break open any shields, invincibilities or One Up item boxes as those will not be added to Sonic and will be wasted.
This feature may seem trivial to most people, but you'd be surprised how much fun it can be trying to outrun player one (who's playing Sonic) when you're controlling Tails. ;)

Extra Items and Other Tips
I've beaten the game several times. You get very funny extras in original mode. All HotD2 professional players read the points at the end of this long text.
playing as a grandma (you can also play as Goldman, Amy, Harry and others)
getting a ufo-icon. An ufo appears in the sky and you can try to shoot it
Shooting green fishing lures instead of bullets (get bass? Total strange)
You get new guns like Machine Gun, a Shotgun and a Paintball gun.
Note that these items are deleted when you use them. However, you can keep them forever by removing your VMS card before you use the item you wish to keep.
The special items don't appear always on the same spots. There are just some spots that give you very special items every time you shoot them. First of all, use a 1.5 or 2.0 ammo in original mode (these are not too hard to find in normal boxes), only with these bullets you get all those extras. Only the 1.5 and 2.0 ammo is able to open secret doors. Here are 4 Spots where you get extras:
In Level 2 a car drives to you with a zombie on it. shoot the zombie down. The camera turns arround, on the right side is a parking, blue car. Shoot the back door of the car and it opens, after the guy says thank you, the camera moves to the right and shows into the blue car where a extra is waiting for you to be shot.
After that you go up stair and shoot a group of zombies, then you turn to the left and a knife throwing zombie jumps from the rooftops. Kill him. After that you move some steps forward. Now hurry and shoot the door at the end of the hallway. It will open if you have 1.5 or 2.0 Ammo. Kill the 2 jumping zombies that now will block your way and a man will come out of the open door and give you something special (very often he gave me 2.0 ammo).
In Level 3 is a scene where a green zombie attacks a man on a motorboat. Kill the zombie without killing the man, in the background on the right you see a box, shoot it to open it, it contains a 1-life extra. In the second you shot the 1-life extra a special extra appears on the boat. Shot it, camera will move away quickly!
In Level 5, after you killed this waterboss with the open heart your car will continue driving over the bridge toward 2 cars and a group of zombies. You can shoot the backdoor of the left car and open it that way. Now kill the zombies between the cars and the 2 zombies with critters in their chest that come out of the right car. After that the camera turns toward the left open car and you can shoot a special extra.
There are more spots like that, but that should help you to get the point how to get those extras. Oh, all those extras are then only available in the NEXT game you start in Original mode. Some extras can only used a single time, others seem to be saved and useable forever. I have not found anything that tells you what differs the one from the others.
