And even then, the song in Sonic Advance 3 is less of a remix and more of an "adaptation" - it's still the same song, it's just been scaled down to utilize the GBA sound hardware, that's all.

I know this isn't helping Wikipedia, but...WHY!!?!?? WHY WOULD THEY LET SHADOW DIE?!!? Yes, the scond plot sypnosis for the Shades was to have him actually DIE. SEGA may have even tried to fallow through with this idea when SA2 first sold, but they FINALLY realized that he was too much of an awesome bishie to die. And then they screwed up his WELL-DESEARVED comeback with Shadow The Hedgehog. It may be his game, and the first in the Sonic Series to have a game name solely after oneself (Knuckles shared a title in Sonic and Knuckles), but that DEFINATELY wasn't SEGA's best work. I personally don't like it because 1)It's third-person shooting style, which, IMO, is the second worst style, beaten only by first-person shooting (Yuck.), And 2)It was the first Sonic Series game to be rated E10+, though many parents argued that it should've been rated T because of its "excessive" cussing, and "inappropriate" language, even though SEGA deleted a good portion of the curses of that of origanally planned. I do, however, just remember walking behind my mother in GameStop when I was 9, and I can, barely, but clearly, remember seeing a Shadow The Hedgehog game, and I saw a T symbol on it. If it was an early copy, or a typo, I'm not sure. It was 4 3/5 years ago. Though he DID have a good gameplay in Sonic Next Generation, SEGA decided to exclude him completely from Sonic Unleashed. It just seems like SEGA is losing some of the more popular playable characters in the past few years. Cream the Rabbit hasn't been seen, if I'm not mistaken, since her 3-second cameo appearance in SA (though, according to Sonic X, she was in the sidelines in the SA2 part, episodes 33 through 38, but that is canical). Mighty hasn't been heard from for nearly a decade and a half. And Charmy (Thankfully!!) hasn't been seen or heard from (YAY!) since Shadow The Hedgehog; he hacked into the computers by ramming into them with his stinger. And now, we haven't seen Shadow since 2006- nearly three years! I am pretty releaved that he appeared in Sonic and the Black Knight, portraying Sir Lancelot. I say it's SEGA's wasy of saying, "This is Shadow, and although you haven't played him since Next Generation, we are here to tell you that he is not forgotten; here he is, one of the Knights of the Round Table, or at least portraying him, Sir Lancelot." So basically, we can't count him out yet; SEGA just isn't making as many main-console games since they created the StoryBook Series. Plus they put Blaze in Sir Percival's spot, maybe to show she hasn't been a two-shot (or one-shot. Whichever you say.) this whole time after all, *hint**hint*. I simply hope the next Sonic game, whatever it may be, brings back Shadow; he could kinda use the popularity boost, now of all times. -MaceKiwi 3-4-09
Just about everything on the Shadow the Hedgehog page has sources for it's features listed, but there's no source for where the branching storyline trivia came from, thus it's unknown if that's true or it's simple lies. Proof plz? -- Ragey 13:05, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Shouldn't this game get it's own article? Sonic Adventure DX does. -- ChessManXI 03:30, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
Either that or Sonic Adventure DX's article should be combined into the main Sonic Adventure entry, which I think would fit the situation better. -- BlazeHedgehog 11:39, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

On the subject that originally, only Sonic, Knuckles, Dr. Eggman were the only cast of playable characters, and that Tails, Rouge, and Shadow were added later, comes Official US. Dreamcast Magazine, December 2000:
While generally not 100% true, the whole point if videogames is that it's very possible to change stuff drastically before it hits retail. In the same month, the Official UK Dreamcast Magazine had words with Yuji Naka:

Both 151.203.62.185 ( talk · contribs) and 203.184.53.184 ( talk · contribs) have added material that explains how to win the game; something you'd only find at a strategy game site like GameFAQs. Some of the additions are good, but most are of the strategy guide type. I've checked 151.203.62.185 but I'll need some help to get this stuff out of the article. There were also these types of comments before the two anons edited the article. Also, exclaimation points (!) are littered throughout the article. Wikipedia articles generally do not contain exclaimation points. -- RattleMan 03:48, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
I have seriously gutted the Stage List section, removed the Special Items section, made some minor edits to the story section (hanging questions at the end of a plot synopsis is fine if you're trying to promote the game, but doesn't fit with an article meant to be purely informative), and removed all cleanup flags. - Kalarchis 02:06, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
What Test Zone? I can't seem to find it on the Internet. Is it in the GameCube version? I have an Action Replay, and I'd like to know what the codes are. Darklinkskywalker 03:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm new to this accesing stuff. Can somebody tell me what Action Replay is and how I can get it?
Can someone look over and help me edit the article to change the second person use (wherever it says "you") to third person (example: "the player", "he or she")? I've fixed some of this, but I would appreciate the help.
Thanks.

are playable in 2P mode? - Stanleyscup07 02:15, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
I've wondered this myself! I heard that if you get all the emblems (complete every mission of every level with every character, and every boss attack mode, and every chao race and karate, and every kart race, and get an A rank on every mission of every level to get the extra emblem for every charecter to get all 180) then you can play as Super Sonic and Super Shadow in two player mode. SOMEONE WHO HAS ALL THE EMBLEMS FOR SA2 OR SA2B, PLEASE REPLY! CAN YOU USE SUPE SON AND SUPE SHAD IN 2P MODE? Thanx.
According to official strategy books, it seems you can't use Super Sonic or Super Shadow in 2 player mode. Trust me. I haven't gotten all the emblems but I know this for a fact.
This article needs a lot of work. Contrast it with the Sonic Adventure article. That's what this article needs to look like. Paul Haymon 22:12, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I just made the redirect page SA2:B. I use it as an abbreviation for Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and I've heard it be used by a few others as well. Is it appropriate to have a redirect for a section of an article like Sonic Adventure 2: Battle is right now? -- Luigi Maniac 13:55, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
shouldnt we add a glitch section to the SA2:B part of this article concerning the glitches, like flying out of chao garden and returning to see all your chao drowning in he ground? or the one with the hero garden screwing up rouges eyes?-- Fred Fredburger: Lord of Horror 19:52, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Having never played SA2, I'm not really in a position to trim this section myself, but boy does it need editing. It's far, far too long and the quality of the writing is appalling. I'd also say that the "Villains" section needs a look at for the same reasons (certainly length-wise anyway). SpinachPuffs ( talk) 15:30, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Alot of the story section looks like its done by a two year old. I think the story section needs to be completely redone. I have compiled a list of the worst examples from the article because I find it funny.

And before you ask where I got this kind of information from I asked Sega myself because I was confused when you fans started to call his SA2 form "Super Shadow" Please can someone get back to me on this? If I don't return to wikipedia: Unkown337@hotmail.com - that is my e-mail address, proper thoughts only, no small vocabulary flames, have a nice and abuse free day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.212.179 ( talk • contribs)
Sega have stated that Sonic X is not part of the "official" Sonic continuation. The episodes made were based on the games but they were never meant to be a future to the official game storyline. Sonic X may be useful to understand the videogame storyline but the two universes are not identical and this often causes confusion. For example, in the videogames Sonic never actually breaks the sound barrier. Also I dont think Super/Hyper Shadow's name was ever confirmed and if it was, i think it would be Super Shadow. I think Hyper Shadow was a name used only in the Archie Comics because the only time i saw the Hyper prefix in the game universe was in Sonic 3 & Knuckles with Hyper Knuckles and Hyper Sonic. Shadow cant become hyper because the Super Emeralds never appear in Sonic Adventure 2 (or any game other than S3&K.) ROSSY MILES TALK 07:27, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I, along with Sjones, are working on cleaning this page up. Starting up a general discussion area regarding that.
Small question to start things off: Right now, the lead says
Sonic Adventure 2 (Japanese: ソニックアドベンチャー2 Hepburn: Sonikku Adobenchā Tsū?)...The game was ported to the Nintendo GameCube and re-titled Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (ソニックアドベンチャー2 バトル Sonikku Adobenchā Tsū: Batoru?).
Is it necessary to relist all of that name in English/Japanese when all they really did was slap a :Battle subtitle on the second release. It seems like a lot of redundant Japanese cluttering up the opening sentences. Or am I off-base? Thoughts? Sergecross73 msg me 15:50, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
Looking over the article briefly, this particular part in the beginning of the Game Play section stands out:
Sonic Adventure 2 is a platform game in which the player controls Sonic and Shadow the Hedgehog, among others. The game follows the same basic principles of previous games in the series. However, the Tails and Doctor Eggman stages use a health bar which is reloaded by gathering rings.
This is a bit confusing. Can the player control any charactes at any time, or are they only playable on certain stages? Or do the characters have their own gameplay mechanics, like the health bar mentioned? This can use more clarification. -- ThomasO1989 ( talk) 17:47, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

I pretty much agree with using the phrase "for good" in the sentence. I mean if you simply say "leave the business," that kinda suggests a comeback by the company in future. But if you say "leave the business for good," that makes it clear that the company is completely done in that field. As for Sega, it doesn't seem like they would return to making hardware despite calls from adoring fans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.17.80 ( talk) 03:24, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Since LTPofficial seems so determined, I checked his "sources", and there's actually some truth to it. Sonic Retro's scans of the UK, FR DE, ES and NL covers have the Infogrames logo present on the back of the box. SA2B's listing on the official Nintendo UK site lists Infogrames as the publisher as well. A GameSpot article from 2001 confirms the existence of the Sega/Infogrames publishing deal. -- 136.181.195.25 ( talk) 15:52, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
Multiple sources point out the fact that the re-release runs with (partial) native widescreen support and higher-resolution textures, something not present in either prior version.

Both 151.203.62.185 ( talk · contribs) and 203.184.53.184 ( talk · contribs) have added material that explains how to win the game; something you'd only find at a strategy game site like GameFAQs. Some of the additions are good, but most are of the strategy guide type. I've checked 151.203.62.185 but I'll need some help to get this stuff out of the article. There were also these types of comments before the two anons edited the article. Also, exclaimation points (!) are littered throughout the article. Wikipedia articles generally do not contain exclaimation points. -- RattleMan 03:48, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
I have seriously gutted the Stage List section, removed the Special Items section, made some minor edits to the story section (hanging questions at the end of a plot synopsis is fine if you're trying to promote the game, but doesn't fit with an article meant to be purely informative), and removed all cleanup flags. - Kalarchis 02:06, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
What Test Zone? I can't seem to find it on the Internet. Is it in the GameCube version? I have an Action Replay, and I'd like to know what the codes are. Darklinkskywalker 03:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm new to this accesing stuff. Can somebody tell me what Action Replay is and how I can get it?
Can someone look over and help me edit the article to change the second person use (wherever it says "you") to third person (example: "the player", "he or she")? I've fixed some of this, but I would appreciate the help.
Thanks.

are playable in 2P mode? - Stanleyscup07 02:15, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
I've wondered this myself! I heard that if you get all the emblems (complete every mission of every level with every character, and every boss attack mode, and every chao race and karate, and every kart race, and get an A rank on every mission of every level to get the extra emblem for every charecter to get all 180) then you can play as Super Sonic and Super Shadow in two player mode. SOMEONE WHO HAS ALL THE EMBLEMS FOR SA2 OR SA2B, PLEASE REPLY! CAN YOU USE SUPE SON AND SUPE SHAD IN 2P MODE? Thanx.
According to official strategy books, it seems you can't use Super Sonic or Super Shadow in 2 player mode. Trust me. I haven't gotten all the emblems but I know this for a fact.
This article needs a lot of work. Contrast it with the Sonic Adventure article. That's what this article needs to look like. Paul Haymon 22:12, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I just made the redirect page SA2:B. I use it as an abbreviation for Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and I've heard it be used by a few others as well. Is it appropriate to have a redirect for a section of an article like Sonic Adventure 2: Battle is right now? -- Luigi Maniac 13:55, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
shouldnt we add a glitch section to the SA2:B part of this article concerning the glitches, like flying out of chao garden and returning to see all your chao drowning in he ground? or the one with the hero garden screwing up rouges eyes?-- Fred Fredburger: Lord of Horror 19:52, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Having never played SA2, I'm not really in a position to trim this section myself, but boy does it need editing. It's far, far too long and the quality of the writing is appalling. I'd also say that the "Villains" section needs a look at for the same reasons (certainly length-wise anyway). SpinachPuffs ( talk) 15:30, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Alot of the story section looks like its done by a two year old. I think the story section needs to be completely redone. I have compiled a list of the worst examples from the article because I find it funny.

And before you ask where I got this kind of information from I asked Sega myself because I was confused when you fans started to call his SA2 form "Super Shadow" Please can someone get back to me on this? If I don't return to wikipedia: Unkown337@hotmail.com - that is my e-mail address, proper thoughts only, no small vocabulary flames, have a nice and abuse free day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.212.179 ( talk • contribs)
Sega have stated that Sonic X is not part of the "official" Sonic continuation. The episodes made were based on the games but they were never meant to be a future to the official game storyline. Sonic X may be useful to understand the videogame storyline but the two universes are not identical and this often causes confusion. For example, in the videogames Sonic never actually breaks the sound barrier. Also I dont think Super/Hyper Shadow's name was ever confirmed and if it was, i think it would be Super Shadow. I think Hyper Shadow was a name used only in the Archie Comics because the only time i saw the Hyper prefix in the game universe was in Sonic 3 & Knuckles with Hyper Knuckles and Hyper Sonic. Shadow cant become hyper because the Super Emeralds never appear in Sonic Adventure 2 (or any game other than S3&K.) ROSSY MILES TALK 07:27, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I, along with Sjones, are working on cleaning this page up. Starting up a general discussion area regarding that.
Small question to start things off: Right now, the lead says
Sonic Adventure 2 (Japanese: ソニックアドベンチャー2 Hepburn: Sonikku Adobenchā Tsū?)...The game was ported to the Nintendo GameCube and re-titled Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (ソニックアドベンチャー2 バトル Sonikku Adobenchā Tsū: Batoru?).
Is it necessary to relist all of that name in English/Japanese when all they really did was slap a :Battle subtitle on the second release. It seems like a lot of redundant Japanese cluttering up the opening sentences. Or am I off-base? Thoughts? Sergecross73 msg me 15:50, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
Looking over the article briefly, this particular part in the beginning of the Game Play section stands out:
Sonic Adventure 2 is a platform game in which the player controls Sonic and Shadow the Hedgehog, among others. The game follows the same basic principles of previous games in the series. However, the Tails and Doctor Eggman stages use a health bar which is reloaded by gathering rings.
This is a bit confusing. Can the player control any charactes at any time, or are they only playable on certain stages? Or do the characters have their own gameplay mechanics, like the health bar mentioned? This can use more clarification. -- ThomasO1989 ( talk) 17:47, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

This is a nice article, it shouldn't seem that difficult to pass the GAN. This was also the last Sonic I have ever played. Not much to point out though, other than mostly those prose issues, I think this could be another GA.

I pretty much agree with using the phrase "for good" in the sentence. I mean if you simply say "leave the business," that kinda suggests a comeback by the company in future. But if you say "leave the business for good," that makes it clear that the company is completely done in that field. As for Sega, it doesn't seem like they would return to making hardware despite calls from adoring fans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.17.80 ( talk) 03:24, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Since LTPofficial seems so determined, I checked his "sources", and there's actually some truth to it. Sonic Retro's scans of the UK, FR DE, ES and NL covers have the Infogrames logo present on the back of the box. SA2B's listing on the official Nintendo UK site lists Infogrames as the publisher as well. A GameSpot article from 2001 confirms the existence of the Sega/Infogrames publishing deal. -- 136.181.195.25 ( talk) 15:52, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
Multiple sources point out the fact that the re-release runs with (partial) native widescreen support and higher-resolution textures, something not present in either prior version. Sega of China is also credited in-game for producing the port, a credit absent the DC or GC versions. -- 50.4.172.142 ( talk) 20:30, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
