And while this open world may look a bit barren, there are actually some fun things to do in your spare time. One of which is the chance to go fishing. If you’re interested in how to fish in Sonic Frontiers, then we’re happy to explain so you can do it too!

How to Fish in Sonic Frontiers

When it comes to going fishing in Sonic Frontiers, there are actually going to be a few things you’ll need to obtain in order to do so. More specifically, you’ll always want to uncover the fishing location for each island so that you can actually fish, and you’ll want to actively collect Purple Coins.

When finding the proper fishing hole for your island, the entrance to it actually looks closer to that of Zone Portals. Big the Cat helps you out on these fishing excursions and supplies the fishing pole so that it’s one less thing you have to worry about bringing.

What Are Purple Fishing Coins in Sonic Frontiers?

Oddly enough, the reason you need to harbor Purple Coins is that they are used as the type of payment to actually catch the fish. So the more you can keep in your wallet, the more fishing you can actually do, whenever you want.

Fishing will earn you tokens for your catch, with the rarity of the fish alongside its size affecting your payout.
