One-and-a-Half Play
When you are playing Sonic's action stages and Tails is on the screen, a second player can control Tails with a second controller. Any rings Tails collects will be added to Sonic's totals. Be careful to not make Tails break open any shields, invincibilities or One Up item boxes as those will not be added to Sonic and will be wasted.

After you start up the Sonic Adventure game, place a controller into the D port on your Dreamcast and have a VMS in the controller. A hidden Chao Puzzle game will appear on the VMS screen.

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.

Metallic Chao Baby
To get the one-of-a-kind metallic chao baby, go to the waterfall near the subway and look to the right of it. You will see a sort of platform. Go to it and push it. A metallic egg will fall down the waterfall and into the pond. When it reaches the land pick t up and bring it to the nearest Chao sanctuary. Throw it and it will hatch.

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.

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.
|
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.

Sonic gets killed by the sidewalk
Walk along the sidewalk in the Casino area until you see Sonic trip. Try to pinpoint where exactly he tripped by walking over that spot again. Slowly move around the area until sonic Falls through the sidewalk into total blackness.
|
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.

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.
|
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.
