I'm not suggesting it should be added to the article, but it is interesting that he does seem almost like a cross between Eggman and Big. Like, I know it's a stretch, but if you look at Big's face and the colouring (besides the eyes) and then look at Whisker, there are some similarities. Definitely not worth mentioning in the article until there's some kind of hint at that being relevant. Demaar 17:36, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

On a Sonic forum I go to someone posted this piece of promotional art. http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/1647/1177350060017tw4.jpg However since it is not on an official site I cannot confirm it isn't fake. I added a note to the entry but if someone can confirm it with a proper source that'd be great. Jez MM 20:41, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Damn, never mind, I really should have read the above bit of talk before posting. The specific title of "Whiskers" threw me off so I didn't bother. I'll remove the note until we've got an official source. Jez MM 20:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
When was it ever officially said that this game won't have the 4KIDS voice actors?

if this page is here why not Sonic riders 2
probably because sonic riders 2 hasnt been confirmed yet, whilst this game really has.-- Fred Fredburger: Lord of Horror 20:24, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
um, scratch that. probably because while both games have been confirmed, the title of the sonic riders sequel hasnt been told, who the playable characters are, the level locations, the villains, and even more. all that is known is that there will be a sequel, either on PS3, Xbox 360, or Nintendo Wii.-- Fred Fredburger: Lord of Horror 12:52, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, Sonic Rules 2 has been blocked, indefinitely if I'm right, so we won't be seeing any more bad grammar from him. Michael Mad 16:10, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
what as the poor lad did to make you hate him Mariorules 12:20, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Mariorules
I did? Well, grammar is frequently misspelled as grammer. I'm no hypocrite, it was a typo, I assure you. I hopefully will not make such blatant mistakes again. My comment about Sonic Rules 2 and his poor grammar was something of a response to your earlier comment, Luigifan. I hold nothing against him simply because of how his grammar is poor. I do, however, hold something against him because of how he did threaten to kill another user, hence his blocking. Sorry for going off-topic there(but then again, Luigifan, you would have been going off-topic by mentioning his poor grammar in your earlier comment, but I did go a step too far by criticising Sonic Rules 2 outright) and subsequetly leaving myself look like an idiot. I've learnt my lesson. We all make mistakes and make ourselves look stupid or foolish in the eyes of others.
Going back on-topic, just because this game is a sequel, it doesn't mean that all characters from past games will reappear. As of now, the only characters known to be making a return are Sonic, Tails and Blaze, and of those, only Sonic has been confirmed to be playable. If you want to mention other characters in the article, fine, but have a reliable source first. Michael Mad 15:36, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I did not threat anyone you must have the wrong guy or I told a friend my user name and password and later we became mad and are no longer friends so he would have a reason to do this12:16, 24 June 2007 Sonicrules2
Oh, well, never tell anyone your password for your account on the Wikipedia. Anyway, if I may ask, where did you hear that rumour that all those characters(i.e. Tails, Knuckles, Amy etc.) would be playable in this game? Michael Mad 13:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Michael mad you are a DUMB IDOIT YOU STUPID UGLY MONKEY and tell Merope that she will not be around next christmas because I will kidnap her and destory herand take control of this site you big loser-Sonicrules2
Yes, whatever, Mario Rules. Anyway, it says in the article "and although Tails is mentioned, a recent Nintendo Power article confirms that he is not playable". Does anyone here have a source to back up that statement, such as a link to any official Nintendo Power site or any site that has an article about what was said in that magazine about Sonic Rush Adventure? Michael Mad 13:23, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Uh yeah,they also said that Shadow,and Big wouldn't be Secret Rings. -S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R.
Big was not in secrets rings Shadowtheorge 13:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Yeah,he was.He made cameos in many levels.I suggest you do some research before disagreeing with me.
Where did the box art come from? I can't find it anywhere else on the internet, which makes me belive it is fanmade. If so then it needs to be deleted. 阿修羅96 23:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

It says this game is developed by SEGA Studios....? Do you mean Sonic Team USA/Sega studio USA? I have never heard of SEGA studios.
Isn't Eggman going to appear in this game?
Nothing has been said by the developers about Eggman. Michael Mad 15:42, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I have protected this page to stop the edit war over the release date. I urge editors to form a consensus around this issue. Once that has been done, you can request the page to be unprotected so that further editing can continue.
I have not looked into the merits of the dates so I can't offer an opinion as to which date is "correct".
However, here's a tip: consider the possibility that both dates can be mentioned with clarification as to why there is a discrepancy.
-- Richard 20:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Basically, some want to go with what only Sega websites say, while others are sourcing to websites like IGN, Gamespot, or game retailer site...all of which are good, but it is causing disagreements here. 阿修羅96 21:00, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
(outdent)Retailers are a reasonable source of info when the subject in question is when those same retailers intend to sell a product. This is especially true when they appear to be consistent with eachother. Tell me, do you have any specific dates you can reference? Something more precise than, "Fall"? Otherwise, I really don't see the need to keep arguing, let alone edit-warring to the point of page protection. Bladestorm 22:59, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Well, whether or not it's harrassment is something for admins to decide. (Again, if the reverts themselves aren't flagrant vandalism or antagonism, then you may have a hard time making a case for harassment) As far as placeholders are concerned, I realize that EB (and also GS, I suppose) sometimes uses placeholders, but I've never heard of them doing so for games that are less than three months away. (More often than not, the questionable placeholders I see on IGN are for things like "TBA 2007", when it really may end up coming out the next year, but I've never seen them guess at a very specific date) Bladestorm 17:59, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
JPN Release date is October 18....exactly 13 years later than Sonic and Knuckles's release date XD

Should this be added to the page? ~~ Neo 2.3 Hylan 22:24, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
No, it's just a trailer. Besides, there are more important issue to resolve here. 阿修羅96 22:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
As to "just a trailer", I refer you to The wikipedia page for Halo Wars, just one example where nearly the entire page is trailers. I feel the trailer is relevant, as it adds new information about abilities, levels, music etc. As for the "more important issue to resolve", that is a) opinion and b) not an excuse to stop updating the page with relevant info in the meantime. I vote add.
{{
editprotected}}
There has been a gameplay video of this game released. Notable info shows that during the boss battle, the helper character that was usually on the second screen in the first Rush is no longer there and boss battles now span both screens. Also, the music composer from the first game has returned to do work for the second.
GrandMasterGalvatron 01:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
First, find consensus and get the page unprotected at WP:RFPP. Then you will be able to add this info. In the meantime, while the article is protected, admins should not add the info for you. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 03:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Looks like her name is Marin (マリン). [2] -- RattleMan 22:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Should we post it here along with the other confirmed unnamed characters? -- Coconutfred73 23:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Also, she's not a raccoon according to that scan, she's a Badger (アライグマ is 洗い熊 (Eurasion Badger) in katakana). -- Robtf 02:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
The name has been confirmed Marine the Racoon. Sonic Stadium has found proof relased by the video game publication Famitsu. http://www.sonicstadium.org/sonicnews/305 edit by PsychokineticFreak
I just need to point out that the Sonic Stadium arrticle doesn't justify the assumption that the name is Marine any more than we have, they just assume a romanization based on the japanese text as the users above did. I think Marine is most likely for the same reasons they do, but it's not a confirmed fact until we see some English text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.231.181.210 ( talk • contribs)

From the first page I translated the little textbox beside Marin (raccoon girl):
"A raccoon brimming with curiosity who lives in Windmill Town. She has a strong yearning and interest for adventure. Why does she speak in Kansai dialect?"
As it's impossible to edit the article ATM I'm just posting it here.
I still think that looks like Fang in the first scan! .:Stirb Nicht Vor Mir:. 03:03, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
The Japanese website s now open, but there is no content in either of the sections. For right now it is empty, there is a Flash animation with two buttons, one reading Story, and the other Screenshots, but like I said, no content. http://sonic.sega.jp/rushadventure/ Tails0600 03:51, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
With the official announcement of the JPN release date, can we unprotect the page now and use that informaiton? A lot has happened that very much should be in the article. - 131.107.0.73
No, because this is a dispute over the US and European release date...that has to be solved first. 阿修羅96 23:39, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Until that's officially announced, we can;t resolve it. Can;t we just leave those as unknown, or list a year as in Many other wp pages?
PLEASE JUST PUT TBA! - 65.33.183.245
No, that would be inaccurate. 阿修羅96 18:15, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
He's right. Protecting the p[age over this is just stupid as we could very well list TBA or something similar. Besides, people are only gonna think the dates shown are correct anyways. GrandMasterGalvatron 11:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
I want to point out to the moderators that Ashura96 is the only one impeding the unprotection of this page. And I'm pretty convinced by their behavior that their goal is to keep the page protected since they're not proposing any solutions. This is the new discussion at which we come to consensus. I propose a times is listed so that it fits both of the original sources (nintendo and game sites). If this ends up being a quarter, half-year, or even year, that's fine. It would not be incorrect and it would allow the page to become useful again.
GrandMasterGalvatron has requested that this page be unprotected. Reading the above, I am not convinced that a consensus has been reached. Ashura96 needs to be brought "on board" somehow. However, I am amenable to unprotecting this page with an injunction to everyone to avoid edit-warring. If edit-warring resumes, ask for the page to be re-protected either by contacting me or by leaving a request on WP:RPP. Good luck and happy editing. -- Richard 05:48, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Interesting, the original dispute was never solved, I don't want to see it happen again. 阿修羅96 20:49, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I am kinda still new here so I do NOT really know how to cite sources, but all my edits are correct. 1, DIMPS, according to IGN has been the confirmed dev for this game. Also the ost on SEGA's site which can be seen here http://segadirect.jp/Catalog/CustomPages/CustomDetail2.aspx?File=sonicrushad_nds.htm reveals the names of every stages, as well as a name for the green torpedo dude: Johnny! Please help me put this in the refernces section! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Huelen1 ( talk • contribs) 65.33.183.245 09:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
The official website reveal alot of new information on everyone,including the 4 vehicles Tails build for sonic. The name of the green torpedo guy is in fact Johnny and he claim himself the fastest thing on earth,Whiskers is similar to Dr.Eggman he has a very bad temper. Anyway you guys should start filling this article,the site http://www.sega.com/gamesite/sonicrushadv/index.html HolyNightmare 07:03, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
If you look at the cover art, it is clearly rated 3+, not 12+. The game, as far as I know, does not have bad language. If it's rated E by ESRB, it should be tame...
75.120.15.247 23:19, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if I'm hearing things, but is the singer in the boss theme constantly shouting the F word? The only other occurence of bad language I can find is Marine occasionally saying "bugger". If it is the F word, it's probably a case of the Japanese composer not knowing what the word actually means. Though you'd think SEGA USA/Europe would have noticed. Or I could just be hearing things, and a cute Australian Raccoon saying "bugger" twice is enough for a 12 rating, which seems over the top. Philtrauferson 21:30, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
I too thought the boss theme kinda sounded like it had fuck in it but equally the repeated sample could also be saying "Beat against the beat, r-r-rockin" also. Or equally it could just be some random vocal noises which aren't actual words at all. Hehe, reminds me of the japanese/european boss theme for Sonic CD where it sounds like the sample is yelling "Whup that son of a bitch, come on now, whup that son of a bitch!" I'm sure there'll be a lot of confusion over the higher rating here in europe. I don't think bugger is thought of as being an expletive elsewhere. Jez MM 01:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm from the UK and, although I don't consider "bugger" a swear-word myself, I understand that other people do. I simple edit here and there could have seen to that. I've heard the boss theme, and it definitely sounded like "rockin'" to me, so I highly doubt this is the reasoning. Psychic Potato 14:10, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, either way, I think a new picture for the article is needed so that people don't get confused (I would do it, but I don't know how to upload photos). InfernoSonic 17:43 18 September 2007 (UTC)
The newer photo looks like it's been screwed with, so it's possible the rating might be wrong. But...ugh, this is ridiculous. Why would they change the rating at the last moment? I guess this is another issue of how other countries interpret things. But, Inferno Sonic is right; we need a newer photo. 75.120.39.25 20:06, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I saw in a Tesco Catalog thingy that it was rated 3+. However, the same one said that fifa 08 was rated 7+ when I know it was'nt. 88.109.50.205 16:51, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Is Hideki Naganuma still this game's composer? Nintenboy01 01:22, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Nope, I checked the credits (which are also in the manual) and he isn't listed at all. However the "new record" jingle which he made is used. Aside from that, the only remenants of his music are in the first zone and boss theme, which are both clearly inspired by the corrosponding tunes from the first game, and the reuse of the "hot hot hot" sample from "What U Need" in one piece of music. The 1up jingle is the same too but I dunno if Naganuma composed that one... it's only 2 seconds long anyway. Jez MM 01:32, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Does that count as copyright infringement? 83.68.230.99 12:06, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
"Plagiarism: Taking, using, and passing off as your own, the ideas or words or work of another."
How is using official information plagiarism? Because it's NOT. It makes nearly no sense whatsoever, and you have to understand that it means "saying something is yours". Not "using something from another person". Get it?
Plagiarism: Saying something is yours, when it's not.
Not plagiarism: Using information provided by it's official source.
Saying it's plagiarism is WRONG. If it was, WHO is the one is stating it's THEIRS? Wikipedia? No, wikipedia does NOT say that everything on their encyclopedia is theirs. That's why it's called the 'Free Encyclopedia'. No one said it was theirs! So to clear things up, stating who and where the information came from should be good enough. But saying that it's plagiarism (even stating where it came from) is absolutely stupid. It's cleared it up already, it's NOT plagiarism which is illegal. Therefore it's legal, unless they don't WANT you to use it. But that's still stupid, as it's free and open to the public, or they would be hiding that information from you. Another example would be if it said 'Multiplayer' on the official website. So you go on wikipedia and type in 'Multiplayer' and reference it to the official website. Is it illegal? No. Is it plagiarism? NO! And it’s absolutely no different, not one bit. Why not use information that the official website PROVIDES for us? Why the hell would it be illegal to use information it provides for us, and even say that it belongs to them? I hope others will agree. Now someone please do the honor of taking the stupid possible copyright infringement off the page.
(Why would it be illegal to use information it provides for us, and even if we rightfully say it belongs to them? It isn't, thats why.) Staticz 03:24, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
I know, the official site PROVIDES the info for you to use whatever you want with it. :/ I also agree to take off the 'Copyright Infringement', and restore the webpage back to its original essence! Staticz 21:56, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

The statement in the "Gameplay" section of this article states that you can save the game at Marines house... But that's not true... You have to use the "Menu" option which is available at all times while on Southern Island. The only other time you can save the game is going to your WFC settings from either of the machines (which then it'll ask you to save before going to change your WFC Settings.
Please consider a small re-write to the "save game" method or remove it entirely.
Also add a note it's safe to save after every world is complete (Including Meterials Gathering and Missions)

In the opening paragraph, it states that this is the second playable online game in the Sonic series. First off, I believe that Sonic 2006 only had downloadable content. If that's the case, then Sonic Adventure International and Sonic Adventure 2 on the dreamcast had that as well, making it the 4th "online" game in the series. As for online head-to-head playing, I believe this is the first game. Either way, I think the statement in the article is wrong. 81.149.182.210 18:03, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I found a bunch of things in common with Zelda 4 in this game. 1. The storm, Link and Sonic both got lost in storms, Link's ship got struck by lightning, so did the Tornado. 2. Marin, Link was found on the beach by an red-head girl named Marin, Sonic was found by Marine. 3. Both girls wanted to leave the island, Marin wanted to be a seagull Marine waned to be an adventurer 4. Both heroes end up in worlds other than their own. 5. Islands, Koholint and Southern look a lot alike. 6. Mushrooms, In Zelda, Tarin ate mushrooms he found in a forest somewhere, They turned him into a raccoon. Marin thought the mushrooms looked tasty and she's already raccoon. 7. Both girls looked like someone the hero knew, Marin looks like Zelda, and Marine looks like Cream.

I'm not suggesting it should be added to the article, but it is interesting that he does seem almost like a cross between Eggman and Big. Like, I know it's a stretch, but if you look at Big's face and the colouring (besides the eyes) and then look at Whisker, there are some similarities. Definitely not worth mentioning in the article until there's some kind of hint at that being relevant. Demaar 17:36, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

On a Sonic forum I go to someone posted this piece of promotional art. http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/1647/1177350060017tw4.jpg However since it is not on an official site I cannot confirm it isn't fake. I added a note to the entry but if someone can confirm it with a proper source that'd be great. Jez MM 20:41, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Damn, never mind, I really should have read the above bit of talk before posting. The specific title of "Whiskers" threw me off so I didn't bother. I'll remove the note until we've got an official source. Jez MM 20:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

probably because sonic riders 2 hasnt been confirmed yet, whilst this game really has.-- Fred Fredburger: Lord of Horror 20:24, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
um, scratch that. probably because while both games have been confirmed, the title of the sonic riders sequel hasnt been told, who the playable characters are, the level locations, the villains, and even more. all that is known is that there will be a sequel, either on PS3, Xbox 360, or Nintendo Wii.-- Fred Fredburger: Lord of Horror 12:52, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, Sonic Rules 2 has been blocked, indefinitely if I'm right, so we won't be seeing any more bad grammar from him. Michael Mad 16:10, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
what as the poor lad did to make you hate him Mariorules 12:20, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Mariorules
I did? Well, grammar is frequently misspelled as grammer. I'm no hypocrite, it was a typo, I assure you. I hopefully will not make such blatant mistakes again. My comment about Sonic Rules 2 and his poor grammar was something of a response to your earlier comment, Luigifan. I hold nothing against him simply because of how his grammar is poor. I do, however, hold something against him because of how he did threaten to kill another user, hence his blocking. Sorry for going off-topic there(but then again, Luigifan, you would have been going off-topic by mentioning his poor grammar in your earlier comment, but I did go a step too far by criticising Sonic Rules 2 outright) and subsequetly leaving myself look like an idiot. I've learnt my lesson. We all make mistakes and make ourselves look stupid or foolish in the eyes of others.
Going back on-topic, just because this game is a sequel, it doesn't mean that all characters from past games will reappear. As of now, the only characters known to be making a return are Sonic, Tails and Blaze, and of those, only Sonic has been confirmed to be playable. If you want to mention other characters in the article, fine, but have a reliable source first. Michael Mad 15:36, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I did not threat anyone you must have the wrong guy or I told a friend my user name and password and later we became mad and are no longer friends so he would have a reason to do this12:16, 24 June 2007 Sonicrules2
Oh, well, never tell anyone your password for your account on the Wikipedia. Anyway, if I may ask, where did you hear that rumour that all those characters(i.e. Tails, Knuckles, Amy etc.) would be playable in this game? Michael Mad 13:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Michael mad you are a DUMB IDOIT YOU STUPID UGLY MONKEY and tell Merope that she will not be around next christmas because I will kidnap her and destory herand take control of this site you big loser-Sonicrules2
Yes, whatever, Mario Rules. Anyway, it says in the article "and although Tails is mentioned, a recent Nintendo Power article confirms that he is not playable". Does anyone here have a source to back up that statement, such as a link to any official Nintendo Power site or any site that has an article about what was said in that magazine about Sonic Rush Adventure?

It says this game is developed by SEGA Studios....? Do you mean Sonic Team USA/Sega studio USA? I have never heard of SEGA studios.
Isn't Eggman going to appear in this game?
Nothing has been said by the developers about Eggman. Michael Mad 15:42, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I have protected this page to stop the edit war over the release date. I urge editors to form a consensus around this issue. Once that has been done, you can request the page to be unprotected so that further editing can continue.
I have not looked into the merits of the dates so I can't offer an opinion as to which date is "correct".
However, here's a tip: consider the possibility that both dates can be mentioned with clarification as to why there is a discrepancy.
-- Richard 20:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Basically, some want to go with what only Sega websites say, while others are sourcing to websites like IGN, Gamespot, or game retailer site...all of which are good, but it is causing disagreements here. 阿修羅96 21:00, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
(outdent)Retailers are a reasonable source of info when the subject in question is when those same retailers intend to sell a product. This is especially true when they appear to be consistent with eachother. Tell me, do you have any specific dates you can reference? Something more precise than, "Fall"? Otherwise, I really don't see the need to keep arguing, let alone edit-warring to the point of page protection. Bladestorm 22:59, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Well, whether or not it's harrassment is something for admins to decide. (Again, if the reverts themselves aren't flagrant vandalism or antagonism, then you may have a hard time making a case for harassment) As far as placeholders are concerned, I realize that EB (and also GS, I suppose) sometimes uses placeholders, but I've never heard of them doing so for games that are less than three months away. (More often than not, the questionable placeholders I see on IGN are for things like "TBA 2007", when it really may end up coming out the next year, but I've never seen them guess at a very specific date) Bladestorm 17:59, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
JPN Release date is October 18....exactly 13 years later than Sonic and Knuckles's release date XD

No, it's just a trailer. Besides, there are more important issue to resolve here. 阿修羅96 22:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
As to "just a trailer", I refer you to The wikipedia page for Halo Wars, just one example where nearly the entire page is trailers. I feel the trailer is relevant, as it adds new information about abilities, levels, music etc. As for the "more important issue to resolve", that is a) opinion and b) not an excuse to stop updating the page with relevant info in the meantime. I vote add.
{{
editprotected}}
There has been a gameplay video of this game released. Notable info shows that during the boss battle, the helper character that was usually on the second screen in the first Rush is no longer there and boss battles now span both screens. Also, the music composer from the first game has returned to do work for the second.
GrandMasterGalvatron 01:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
First, find consensus and get the page unprotected at WP:RFPP. Then you will be able to add this info. In the meantime, while the article is protected, admins should not add the info for you. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 03:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Looks like her name is Marin (マリン). [2] -- RattleMan 22:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Should we post it here along with the other confirmed unnamed characters? -- Coconutfred73 23:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Also, she's not a raccoon according to that scan, she's a Badger (アライグマ is 洗い熊 (Eurasion Badger) in katakana). -- Robtf 02:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
The name has been confirmed Marine the Racoon. Sonic Stadium has found proof relased by the video game publication Famitsu. http://www.sonicstadium.org/sonicnews/305 edit by PsychokineticFreak
I just need to point out that the Sonic Stadium arrticle doesn't justify the assumption that the name is Marine any more than we have, they just assume a romanization based on the japanese text as the users above did. I think Marine is most likely for the same reasons they do, but it's not a confirmed fact until we see some English text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.231.181.210 ( talk • contribs)

From the first page I translated the little textbox beside Marin (raccoon girl):
"A raccoon brimming with curiosity who lives in Windmill Town. She has a strong yearning and interest for adventure. Why does she speak in Kansai dialect?"
As it's impossible to edit the article ATM I'm just posting it here.
I still think that looks like Fang in the first scan! .:Stirb Nicht Vor Mir:. 03:03, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
The Japanese website s now open, but there is no content in either of the sections.

With the official announcement of the JPN release date, can we unprotect the page now and use that informaiton? A lot has happened that very much should be in the article. - 131.107.0.73
No, because this is a dispute over the US and European release date...that has to be solved first. 阿修羅96 23:39, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Until that's officially announced, we can;t resolve it. Can;t we just leave those as unknown, or list a year as in Many other wp pages?
PLEASE JUST PUT TBA! - 65.33.183.245
No, that would be inaccurate. 阿修羅96 18:15, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
He's right. Protecting the p[age over this is just stupid as we could very well list TBA or something similar. Besides, people are only gonna think the dates shown are correct anyways. GrandMasterGalvatron 11:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
I want to point out to the moderators that Ashura96 is the only one impeding the unprotection of this page. And I'm pretty convinced by their behavior that their goal is to keep the page protected since they're not proposing any solutions. This is the new discussion at which we come to consensus. I propose a times is listed so that it fits both of the original sources (nintendo and game sites). If this ends up being a quarter, half-year, or even year, that's fine. It would not be incorrect and it would allow the page to become useful again.
GrandMasterGalvatron has requested that this page be unprotected. Reading the above, I am not convinced that a consensus has been reached. Ashura96 needs to be brought "on board" somehow. However, I am amenable to unprotecting this page with an injunction to everyone to avoid edit-warring. If edit-warring resumes, ask for the page to be re-protected either by contacting me or by leaving a request on WP:RPP. Good luck and happy editing. -- Richard 05:48, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Interesting, the original dispute was never solved, I don't want to see it happen again. 阿修羅96 20:49, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I am kinda still new here so I do NOT really know how to cite sources, but all my edits are correct. 1, DIMPS, according to IGN has been the confirmed dev for this game. Also the ost on SEGA's site which can be seen here http://segadirect.jp/Catalog/CustomPages/CustomDetail2.aspx?File=sonicrushad_nds.htm reveals the names of every stages, as well as a name for the green torpedo dude: Johnny!

The official website reveal alot of new information on everyone,including the 4 vehicles Tails build for sonic. The name of the green torpedo guy is in fact Johnny and he claim himself the fastest thing on earth,Whiskers is similar to Dr.Eggman he has a very bad temper. Anyway you guys should start filling this article,the site http://www.sega.com/gamesite/sonicrushadv/index.html HolyNightmare 07:03, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
If you look at the cover art, it is clearly rated 3+, not 12+. The game, as far as I know, does not have bad language. If it's rated E by ESRB, it should be tame...
75.120.15.247 23:19, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if I'm hearing things, but is the singer in the boss theme constantly shouting the F word? The only other occurence of bad language I can find is Marine occasionally saying "bugger". If it is the F word, it's probably a case of the Japanese composer not knowing what the word actually means. Though you'd think SEGA USA/Europe would have noticed. Or I could just be hearing things, and a cute Australian Raccoon saying "bugger" twice is enough for a 12 rating, which seems over the top. Philtrauferson 21:30, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
I too thought the boss theme kinda sounded like it had fuck in it but equally the repeated sample could also be saying "Beat against the beat, r-r-rockin" also. Or equally it could just be some random vocal noises which aren't actual words at all. Hehe, reminds me of the japanese/european boss theme for Sonic CD where it sounds like the sample is yelling "Whup that son of a bitch, come on now, whup that son of a bitch!" I'm sure there'll be a lot of confusion over the higher rating here in europe. I don't think bugger is thought of as being an expletive elsewhere. Jez MM 01:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm from the UK and, although I don't consider "bugger" a swear-word myself, I understand that other people do. I simple edit here and there could have seen to that. I've heard the boss theme, and it definitely sounded like "rockin'" to me, so I highly doubt this is the reasoning. Psychic Potato 14:10, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, either way, I think a new picture for the article is needed so that people don't get confused (I would do it, but I don't know how to upload photos). InfernoSonic 17:43 18 September 2007 (UTC)
The newer photo looks like it's been screwed with, so it's possible the rating might be wrong. But...ugh, this is ridiculous. Why would they change the rating at the last moment? I guess this is another issue of how other countries interpret things. But, Inferno Sonic is right; we need a newer photo. 75.120.39.25 20:06, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I saw in a Tesco Catalog thingy that it was rated 3+. However, the same one said that fifa 08 was rated 7+ when I know it was'nt. 88.109.50.205 16:51, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Is Hideki Naganuma still this game's composer? Nintenboy01 01:22, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Nope, I checked the credits (which are also in the manual) and he isn't listed at all. However the "new record" jingle which he made is used. Aside from that, the only remenants of his music are in the first zone and boss theme, which are both clearly inspired by the corrosponding tunes from the first game, and the reuse of the "hot hot hot" sample from "What U Need" in one piece of music. The 1up jingle is the same too but I dunno if Naganuma composed that one... it's only 2 seconds long anyway. Jez MM 01:32, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Does that count as copyright infringement? 83.68.230.99 12:06, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
"Plagiarism: Taking, using, and passing off as your own, the ideas or words or work of another."
How is using official information plagiarism? Because it's NOT. It makes nearly no sense whatsoever, and you have to understand that it means "saying something is yours". Not "using something from another person". Get it?
Plagiarism: Saying something is yours, when it's not.
Not plagiarism: Using information provided by it's official source.
Saying it's plagiarism is WRONG. If it was, WHO is the one is stating it's THEIRS? Wikipedia? No, wikipedia does NOT say that everything on their encyclopedia is theirs. That's why it's called the 'Free Encyclopedia'. No one said it was theirs! So to clear things up, stating who and where the information came from should be good enough. But saying that it's plagiarism (even stating where it came from) is absolutely stupid. It's cleared it up already, it's NOT plagiarism which is illegal. Therefore it's legal, unless they don't WANT you to use it. But that's still stupid, as it's free and open to the public, or they would be hiding that information from you. Another example would be if it said 'Multiplayer' on the official website. So you go on wikipedia and type in 'Multiplayer' and reference it to the official website. Is it illegal? No. Is it plagiarism? NO! And it’s absolutely no different, not one bit. Why not use information that the official website PROVIDES for us? Why the hell would it be illegal to use information it provides for us, and even say that it belongs to them? I hope others will agree. Now someone please do the honor of taking the stupid possible copyright infringement off the page.
(Why would it be illegal to use information it provides for us, and even if we rightfully say it belongs to them? It isn't, thats why.) Staticz 03:24, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
I know, the official site PROVIDES the info for you to use whatever you want with it. :/ I also agree to take off the 'Copyright Infringement', and restore the webpage back to its original essence! Staticz 21:56, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

The statement in the "Gameplay" section of this article states that you can save the game at Marines house... But that's not true... You have to use the "Menu" option which is available at all times while on Southern Island. The only other time you can save the game is going to your WFC settings from either of the machines (which then it'll ask you to save before going to change your WFC Settings.
Please consider a small re-write to the "save game" method or remove it entirely.
Also add a note it's safe to save after every world is complete (Including Meterials Gathering and Missions)

In the opening paragraph, it states that this is the second playable online game in the Sonic series. First off, I believe that Sonic 2006 only had downloadable content. If that's the case, then Sonic Adventure International and Sonic Adventure 2 on the dreamcast had that as well, making it the 4th "online" game in the series. As for online head-to-head playing, I believe this is the first game. Either way, I think the statement in the article is wrong. 81.149.182.210 18:03, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I found a bunch of things in common with Zelda 4 in this game. 1. The storm, Link and Sonic both got lost in storms, Link's ship got struck by lightning, so did the Tornado. 2. Marin, Link was found on the beach by an red-head girl named Marin, Sonic was found by Marine. 3. Both girls wanted to leave the island, Marin wanted to be a seagull Marine waned to be an adventurer 4. Both heroes end up in worlds other than their own. 5. Islands, Koholint and Southern look a lot alike. 6. Mushrooms, In Zelda, Tarin ate mushrooms he found in a forest somewhere, They turned him into a raccoon. Marin thought the mushrooms looked tasty and she's already raccoon. 7. Both girls looked like someone the hero knew, Marin looks like Zelda, and Marine looks like Cream.
