Sonic Adventure Tips & Hints

Bonus NiGHTS area
Drop in the top hole while playing in the pinball section of the casino level to reach another pinball machine. Place the ball into the middle hole to fly through a warp and reach an area based on NiGHTS.



Defeating the whale
When on the whale stage(s), run over a speed ramp as soon as it appears. Then, do not press anything on the controller; the CPU will do the rest.



Defeating Chaos 6
Wait until Eggman drops his freeze bombs. Then, use the homing signal to turn his bombs into eggs and throw them into Chaos' mouth. He should freeze. When he does, attack him. Repeat this as many times as needed. When playing as Knuckles, get the Fighting Gloves then go to the trial (if you have already completed the game). If you have not completed the game, you can find the Fighting Gloves behind Big's house -- climb the wall, then go right until you find a ledge. When you fight Chaos 6, freeze him, power up, then get close to him and release the button. Repeat this two times.



Defeating Perfect Chaos
When starting, get as many rings as possible. Then, go over one of the speed tracks to gain speed. Once you are glowing blue, speed straight for Perfect Chaos and you should hit him. Repeat this as many times as possible.



Hurt Perfect Chaos at less than maximum speed
You can hurt Perfect Chaos without going top speed, although you have to be fast. Go onto the road and speed up. Stop moving during that until you are not in a Blue Shock ball, then quickly move into Chaos. If done correctly, you will hurt him without going at maximum speed.



Perfect Chaos face smash
As Super Sonic, go to the fight with Perfect Chaos. Instead of hitting Chaos head on, go to either side of him. Try going into Chaos through his arm. If done correctly, Super Sonic will fly up and smash Chaos on his chin. Note: This does not do any more damage than the usual attacks.



More than one Gold, Metallic, or Black Chao with one memory card
First, get a Chao that you want more than one of (whether it is the gold or silver). Then, bring the Chao to a Chao Garden and put it into your memory card. After it has saved, turn off your Dreamcast, then turn it back on. Go to the Chao Garden and take it out. Go back to the place where you got the Chao and repeat this until your Chao Garden is full or you do not want any more of them.



Super Sonic Chao
Raise a Golden Chao and give him all the animals to make the Chao look like Sonic. The Chao should look like a Golden Sonic, which is Super Sonic. To make him like a real Super Sonic, raise all of his stats to 999.



Silver Chao egg
Go to the Mystic Ruins. Go to the water fall located in the middle of the Adventure Field. Push the stone that is jutting out of the wall to the right of the water fall. A silver egg will fall from behind the waterfall and float to shore. When it hatches, a silver Chao will be born.



Golden Chao egg
Go to the Station Square area. Then, go to the area when you fought Chaos for the first time. Look to the side of the City Hall entrance to find egg shaped rock. Take the rock to the building to the left from City Hall. Walk to the window to see a golden Chao egg. However, if you try to take it the front door will lock. Replace the egg with the rock and the door will unlock, allowing you to leave with the egg. When the egg hatches you will have a golden Chao.



Black and blue Chao egg
Go to the egg carrier. Then, go the jail area where Amy was kept. In the cell next to where she was held is a black and blue egg. Step on the switch to open the door. Take the egg to the garden. When it hatches, it will be a dark grey and dark blue Chao.



Iron Chao
Your Chao must first be evolved. Mate a Gold and a Black Chao and hatch it. Only one out of three eggs will be iron.



Bronze Chao
Your Chao must first be evolved. Mate a silver and black Chao and hatch it. Only one ne out of three eggs will be bronze.



Get all five Chaos Emeralds with the Chao
To get all five of the Chaos Emeralds that you can get with the Chao, you need to log on to the Dreamcast Network and go to the Chao Daycare Section. Download one of the Chaos that are 999 in all four categories. Return to your Chao Garden and race him in a Chao Race. He will leave easily defeat all the other Chao. Repeat this on all five races to get the five possible Chaos Emeralds.



Copy Chao
Place the VMU with the Chao in socket 1 and the destination VMU in socket 2. Enter the Chao Garden, then leave the Chao Garden. After the "Now Saving" message, look at the data on the VMU. If done correctly, it will have Chao data. Note: The VMU will not have the Chao Game on it. This can be fixed by taking your copied chao out of the VMU, and putting it in the Chao Garden. Then, put the Chao back in your VMU.



Alternate Chao copying
To copy a single Chao, you have to have at least one VMU and one memory card. You have to chose the memory card to save your game onto and not the VMU. Go into any of the gardens and pause game play. Then remove the memory card from the controller. Pick up the Chao you want to clone and put it into the VMU. After it is in the VMU, do not put the memory card back into the controller. Instead, just shut off the game so it cannot save it. When you start the game again, the Chao should be in the garden and in the VMU.



Copy up to 24 Chao at once
Note: A mega memory card is required for this trick. Choose the game on the MMC with the Chao you want to copy (all twenty four in the three gardens). Go into any garden and pause game play. Switch the port on the back of the MMC to the game that you want to put the Chaos in. Caution: The copied Chaos will remove any of the other Chaos in the game you switched it to. After switching the ports, resume the game and exit the garden. After it finishes saving, you should turn off the game. The copying of Chaos does not affect the game itself, only the Chaos in the gardens.



Super Chaos
There are four special evolutions possible for the little Chao creatures: the Sonic, NiGHTS, Alien, and the Dragon. After giving a normal Chao so many certain colored animals it will evolve into one of these. After the first evolution, keep giving it more of the same colored animals. Its new features will continue to grow. If you give it different colored animals, they will shrink.



Sonic The Armadillo
Go to the past when the Master Emerald altar is on fire. Move the camera so Sonic is facing the screen head on. In the red light, he looks just like Mighty The Armadillo from Knuckles Chaotix game on the Sega 32X.



Sonic Stage 1 shortcut
On Sonic's first stage, when you are propelled upward by a booster at the base of the level's highest ramp towards the end of the level, spin dash up to gain extra air. You should see a later part of the level. While falling, go towards there. If done correctly, you should make it, cutting ten seconds off your time.



Emerald Coast: More rings
On Emerald Coast (level 1) go back when you are at the beginning, and then gi to the right. You should find three capsules. Hit all of them and you will get 30 rings. When you are at the green hill around the middle of the level, do not go up it. Instead, go around to find three capsules. Break them all to get 1, 5, 10, 20, or 40 rings.



Casinopolis: Unlimited rings
When you get to Casinopolis (level 3), go to the Night Pinball. Try to get five cards. You have to get one pair, two pair, three of a kind, full house, four of a kind, or five of a kind to get rings. Note: This is the best way to complete the level.



Casinopolis: Ring room
Play as Sonic until you get to Casinopolis. Enter the slot machine pinball (the blue pinball room). Make sure that every time you lose a ball it goes behind the flippers. You will end up in a room with many rings.



Mystical Ruins extra life
Tail's workshop is located all the way at the top of the mountains in the Mystical Ruins. Go to the very top and look around to find an extra life. Use the spin attack to zoom over and collect it.



Easy rings with Sonic
When you are at Casinopolis, go to the slot machines and press Jump twice. This will make rings appear from the slot machines.



Easy rings with Amy
Play through until you defeat Hedgehog Hammer. Go near some grass and do the Revolving Hammer Attack (X + rotate Analog-stick) Sometimes rings will appear.



Easy coins with E-102 in Adventure Field
Go to station square and in the hotel, go up the stairs to the second floor. Stand at the very top step. Shoot your laser at the second button on the floor. Keep shooting to get coins.



Easy rings with E-102
When you complete the game, go to the Egg Carrier by taking the boat from Station Square or the lower level of the Mystic Ruins train station. The boat is available when Egg Carrier crashes. Go to the place where the pool used to be located, then jump, hover, press X, and release. If done correctly, you should get some ring capsule shot. There are some on top of the pool, by the emblem. The pool room is by the Golden bridge.



Easy coins with Tails
Find a patch of dark green grass. Move over and stand on it, then twirl your tail around. A group of coins will appear out of nowhere.



Easy rings for Tails
As Tails, fly up and ring the bell which appears around the halfway point of Speed Highway. About 40 rings will pour out of the bell.



Easy coins with Knuckles
When inside the hotel, go upstairs to the switch to make coins appear. Then, stand on it with Knuckles and repeatedly press X. Go to almost any spot of dirt or grass, then press A + B to dig down and come up with many coins.



Easy rings for Knuckles
Go into to the entrance for Red Mountain, but do not go in all the way inside. Dig at the entrance and many rings will almost always appear.



Easy coins and lives for Big
Go to one of the Chao gardens as Big. You can fish out coins or even lives from the water areas. Keep trying if you did not get anything the first time.



Two employee cards
As Sonic after beating Twinkle Park for the first time, an employee card to get into the Speed Highway will appear in Station Square. Carry it into the hotel. Put it down. Go back to where you first found the card. The card will be there and a copy of the card will fall from the sky. The copy will also open Speed Highway, but if you do not touch it for a while it will disappear. However, you can recreate it.



Get to Sky Deck in adventure mode
Choose either Sonic or Tails, then go to the Egg Carrier. Go to the top to get to the control room outside. Then, switch the ship to first mode. After that, go down to the bottom of the Egg Carrier and catch a train ride back up. The ship should change modes. From there, head up. You should see a door that leads into Sky Deck.

Go to the Casinopolis zone as Sonic and enter the shower area. Get into one of the stalls and push against the wall to give Sonic a shower.

Change Station Square appearance

Go up the mountain as Tails
It is possible to go up the mountain as Tails in level 3. Aim Tails up and keep pressing Up while jumping. It is difficult to tell what Tails is doing, but this is a good way to pick up arches that were missed.



Hitching a ride
To get a ride, stand in front of the car, then jump on top of the car. You can go anywhere in Station Square except for the hotel parking lot.



Continuing with a bad disc
If you have a scratched disc, the game may freeze at certain points when a character speaks, and they must finish for you to continue. If this happens, simply switch the voices to another language and you should get past that point.



Upside-down Knuckles
When playing as Knuckles, fly in a circle by rotating the Analog-stick counter-clockwise. Do this as many times as possible, until Knuckles turns upside-down.



Glass Sonic
Get the shoe and the ring power-ups, then find a location where you can see Sonic up close, without using the D-pad. Hold B or X to start spinning, and Sonic should look like glass.



Hidden Puzzle VMU Game
Connect a controller with a VMU in its first slot to port D before turning on your Dreamcast with Sonic Adventure in the drive. You will be able to play a hidden VMU game called Chao Puzzle on that controller when you start a game.



Alternate Twinkle Park Race views

Glitches

Sonic in the sand hill
Get on top of the ledge and pushing the button to drain the sand. Locate the sand hill cave, but do not enter. Move a short distance back out of the cave entrance. Charge up your speed of light dash, but not to the point where he says "Ready". Release, then jump immediately before you go over the little bump or lip. If done correctly, Sonic will end up in the sand hill. Note: It is just like the sand hill in trial mode.



Giant characters
Go to the Mystic Ruins as any character. Walk on to the platform by the train. Jump on the train and have your character face the sea. Rotate the view so that the character is facing you. It now should appear as if the character has grown to immense size on the platform.



Skip Egg Carrier loading time
There is a way to skip the loading time on the stairs on the docks at the Egg Carrier. First, go to the dock. Angle Sonic so that he is on the opposite side from the boat. Then, jump diagonally on to the stairs and keep jumping up to get to the top. For fun, jump off the stairs to see Sonic float for a bit. You still cannot get to top because of loading time, so jump diagonally onto the Egg Carrier.



Tails falls forever
In the Mystic Ruins Chao Garden, go to the far right of the garden(so that your left is towards the fence and a stone wall is to your right). Make Tails fly off the fence to the right as far as possible. The screen will turn black and you will see a blue ring trail behind him after awhile.



Tails falls through wall
In Speed Highway as Tails, fall off the path. You can fall through the walls of a building. Note: This will not keep him from falling.



Sonic falls forever
In the Mystic Ruins, go to the part with the Master Emerald altar. To the right (where Knuckles met Robotnik on the floor when you are Super Sonic) is a ledge. Go to the end of the ledge and go back slightly. Face the end of the ledge again and do the spin attack. During the spin attack, press A at the edge and hold Analog-stick Forward. Do the homing attack and Sonic will fall forever. Unlike Tails, you can still see Sonic but every thing else will turn black.

Wrong character voice
After unlocking Knuckles, go close to Tails' Workshop under the bridge and talk to Knuckles with everybody except Sonic and Knuckles. Whoever you chose will say, "What's the matter. What are you waiting for?" in Sonic's voice instead of the correct character.
