Sonic Adventure

-- Intro --
It's really time to get away from those side scrolling games and get some true 3D graphics! All Sonic fans' prayers were answered when this revolutionary game hit acorss the USA on 9/9/99! Even supported by a new Sega Dreamcast console so cool that "It's thinking...". A game so prestigious it's an instant classic amongst the rest. Come venture along with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Big, & Gamma! Are you ready to enter Sonic Adventure?!


-- Story --
Just like any Sonic game, Sonic Adventure has it's own storyline. But, in it's own unique way. To get into specifics, each character has their own storyline that comes together in one big adventure. The main story is that Eggman (Dr. Robtnik) is back and he has bad news for the Sonic gang with him. He found a mischievous water monster by the name of Chaos! If matters aren't already worse, this monster feeds on chaos emeralds to grow stronger. Sonic must stop Eggman and Chaos before it's too late!


-- Gameplay Info --
Gameplay in each level has a pretty simple pattern to it. You run through a fairly large 3D level (destroyings enemies and getting items along the way) and doing other obstacles. This game has different characters with different goals to meet in each level.

This game has 6 different characters to play! Each with their very own storyline. This game is very unique with different attacks and moves. And throughout the game each character must use one of their special abilities to get across some obstacle.

  • Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic the fastest character in the game. He can do an incredible dash through the air, jump, even dart across a chain of rings from his enhanced shoes! Sonic's role in the game is the longest.
  • Miles "Tails" Prower: Sonic's little sidekick, Tails is in the game also. Tails spins his tails around to defeat his enemies. With improving his abilities, Tails can fly high and rapidly do a tail attack.
  • Knuckles the Echidna: Knuckles can do a combo of attacks. By pressing the attack button 3 times; the first two attacks are normal, and the 3rd attack is a direct hit. Like older Sonic & Knuckles games, Knuckles can glide through the air and climb. ;)
  • Amy Rose Amy's back from Sonic CD with a more mature look. She carries around her piko-piko hammer to whack her enimies. As she gets enhanced, she spins her hammer around and does multiple higher flips through the air.
  • E-102 "y" (Gamma) E-102 is a new character to the Sonic series. He's a robot that Dr. Eggman created and his trained to obey and destroy Sonic, Tails, & Knuckles. Code name: Gamma can shoot lasers with lock-on technology. He can hover hover water and if you keep him moving smoothly enough he'll even use his wheels!
  • Big the Cat: Big is another new character and he gets his name from his size. Big the Cat seems like a very slow character. He carries a large fishing rod around so he can do what his profession is, to fish! He loses his best friend which is a frog. Big just uses his fishing rod to reel and attack.
  • Super Sonic: Super Sonic is a secret character in the game. You must beat the game with all 6 characters to get him. Although you don't get to play Super sonic for a long adventure, he's the key factor on "really" beating the game. Just like the original games again, he needs rings to be in his super state. He can soar through the air quickly to stop Perfect Chaos!

Codes & Cheats

A Clone of Knuckles
Play through the game (with all the characters) until you get Super Sonic. In Super Sonics Adventure, go to the crashed island. There you see Knuckles and Eggman (Robotnik). After the clip, press A+B+X+Y+Start. Then choose Knuckles. Go to the same place, and there are two Knuckles! This works with other characters, too, but it's not as funny.

Aztec Forest Shortcut
To get to the Frog and the Emerald as Tails in one step do as fallows. After riding the trolly to the Aztec Forest you should be standing up high on a platform overlooking the forest. If you stand on the edge and look down and to the left you will see two trees sticking out of the canopy that are close together. Fly toward the trees and land next to the one that is closest to the ledge you jumped from. You should be standing on top of the canopy. Walk around the first tree until you fall through the canopy and end up right by the emerald and the frog.

Beat the first chaos
First go to trial option and pick sonic as your character, go to boss mode and when the mode is picked it will start at chaos 0. Use your light speed attack on him it makes a really cool effect. NOTE--you have to have the light speed dash first.

Black Chao
First you have to be the robot. To get a black chao go into the egg catcher and go to the bridge. On the bridge you see three doors. Go in the one with the prison. Open the middle cell by jumping on the peg and take the egg back to the bridge. On the bridge go behind the chair Robotnik sits on, behind it is a door with 6 buttons in front of it, stomp on them in an order that spells E-G-G-M-A-N and the door will open. While still holding the egg, step into the teleporter in the room, then you'll be in the egg catcher chao garden, now just hatch the egg.

Change View in Twinkle Park Race
To change the view in Twinkle Park Race, press UP to toggle between inside, outside, and far out view. This also works when playing the first bumper car portion of the level.

Clean Pause
To remove the pause menu, press X and Y together at the pause menu. This is good if you want to take screenshots.

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.
