The Metal Sonic Projectors can be found in the past of each two zones of all rounds (except Metallic Madness), which can only be reached by utilizing a Time Warp sign that is set to the past. When the player finds one, the player can destroy the Metal Sonic Projector by hitting it with a Spin Jump or Spin Attack. After destroying a projector, animals are seen moving around freely in every timeframe of the Zone, especially in the good future. Unlike robot transporters, destroying Metal Sonic Projector does not give any points.
By destroying all of the Metal Sonic Projectors along with all of Eggman's machines in the past of every zone, the player is awarded the "Saviour of the Planet" achievement/trophy in 2011 re-release of the game.
