Sonic Frontiers has some interesting puzzles that need to be solved using Sonic's new-found powers. While there are loads of new puzzles all the way through this 3D Sonic game, there are a handful that are proving to be difficult for some players to complete.

One of the early game puzzles that can be challenging is M-024. There are a lot of items around the location of this difficult puzzle, and it can be hard to know which ones Sonic can and can't interact with to complete it. But once players have an idea of how to get through it, they should have no trouble finishing it up for themselves.

Where M-024 is Located in Sonic Frontiers

In order to solve this puzzle in Sonic Frontiers, players will have to find it first. This puzzle is located on Kronos Island, just north of the massive tower with the Chaos Emerald at the top. Look directly north and a little east of the tower to where the elevation begins to turn upwards at the base of the hill.

Here is the location on Sonic Frontier's large Starfall Island map.

How to Solve the Puzzle M-024 in Sonic Frontiers

To solve the puzzle, players just need to use the new Sonic skill that is unique to this game: Cylooping. Players just have to take Sonic around in circles; Sonic's just gotta go fast in order to solve this puzzle.

Look for the leaf pile right at the base of the M-024 sign. Ignore all the other items around this area; this is the only one that players will have interact with. Using Cylooping, make a circle around the leaf pile. Cylooping is an interesting mechanic new to Sonic Frontiers. In order to Cyloop, players will need to press:

  • Triangle on PS5.
  • Y on Xbox.
  • Right mouse click on PC.
  • X on Switch.

Draw a line around the leaf pile with Sonic while running and holding this button. Once the circle is complete, it will change from blue to pink. This will cause the leaves to blow out of the way, revealing a button.

Next, just walk over the button using the directional movement buttons. This will complete puzzle number M-024. As the tool tip in Sonic Frontiers states, if anything in the world looks suspicious, try using Cylooping to draw a circle around it. This will help players to solve puzzles, gain coins, unlock items, and defeat enemies.

Sonic Frontiers is available for PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
