I mean why reference metal sonic then present a brand new metal sonic that wasn’t in the game anywhere else? It clearly wasn’t mecha sonic so it has to be Silver Sonic from Sonic 2 especially since in the Archie comics encyclopedia does refer to the robot as Silver Sonic

In his parody of Sonic Adventure, Roger van der Weide made everyone in the cast abuse the Chao throughout the whole video, justifying Chaos's motivation to destroy Station Square.

[@fabianugalde3789]

Exactly, this also reminded me of that video lol. Tails and Eggman used Chao in karate battles, Knuckles killed a Chao by overfeeding him, Amy whacked a Chao egg with her hammer, Knuckles' tribe attacked the peaceful Chao, and even the General was punching a Chao through the whole video. That's why Chaos wanted revenge on everyone, and he disappointed his honorary father

[@awesomeguy2009]

Actually, the Egg Walker map for Tails is using a slightly older version of that part of the hub world. (From the AutoDemo). That's why The Man 3 poster is there. Those posters were all over the AutoDemo, and got changed to the regular Chao in Space posters you see in the final game. If the Egg Walker map was using the finished version of the hub world, the poster would've been the regular Chao in Space

[@chimericalical]

Here’s something I noticed while playing the game that you didn’t mention: the story you see in game is the character you’re playing telling their side of the story and not 100% what actually happened. When tails and sonic run into knuckles for the first time in the story there are 3 different sets of dialogue and scenes for example. It’s slightly skewed in such a way that it implies this isn’t accurate to what happened as much as it’s whatever character you’re playing as telling you what happened and thus slightly skewed. If you’re playing as sonic for this scene the dialogue has knuckles being confused and refusing to listen to sonic while tails is kinda irrelevant. If you’re playing as Knuckles sonic and tails are a bit more antagonistic and knuckles wins the fight against sonic (lol, okay sure... ) and then fights Chaos 4 and beats him. If you’re playing as Tails sonic doesn’t really say or do anything antagonistic to knuckles and knuckles is a bit more antagonistic and tails beats Chaos 4 instead. All 3 yolo soloing the boss may seem like just a gameplay aspect that tosses the story out the window. But the slight dialogue changes in every shared scene and those changes being in a way that it’s biased to the point of view of which character you play as implies that these 6 stories aren’t what actually happened. It’s 6 characters telling you what happened, and as people do when they tell a story, also either intentionally skewing a few details of not remembering them correctly.

[@Hellyeahray21]

18:42 I don't know if this has something to do with that, just tought I'd leave the timestamp here if eventually relevant

[@kurichan355]

Perhaps all 3 stories are incomplete as all 3 charactrrs fight chaos 4 at the same time, but only speak of their own victory

[@UltraHorseBoots]

Fun fact about that drawing for "Sonic the Human" the patch on his sleeve is actually a "section ID" insignia from Phantasy Star Online, which many members of Sonic Team also worked on. In PSO when creating your character you'll get assigned a section ID based off the hex data of characters used to make your name and your section ID would actually influence the drop weights of certain weapon types and even have some drops be exclusive to certain IDs to encourage trading online. The one on "Sonic the Human" was Oran, which made daggers drop more often but rods rarer.

[@JohnnyVector]

Very cool!

[@hillhank3070]

I remember hearing a rumor on the internet several years ago that there was a Shadow the Hedgehog easter egg in the DX version of the game, underneath one of the waterfalls in the Perfect Chaos level.

[@BWF6_Official]

Classic characters (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Eggman and Amy) can be seen in the Slot Machine in Casinopolis. For some reason they used Classic designs and not the Modern ones even though it's just pictures and not 3D models. So in conclusion Sonic Adventure contains the first appearance of Classic versions of the characters in a Modern Sonic game way before Sega seperated the two universes in Sonic Generations. Also the other thing that is often missed is that the Sonic 3D Blast music that appears in the game is based on the Demo Takes for 3D Blast (which are basically MIDI versions of the music). Main theme for Twinkle Park for example is an unused song from these Demo Takes called "Bonus Knuckles".

[@wgbee1242]

It’s probably because Modern Sonic used to be a redesign instead of separate character

[@solumanblevins5906]

Two things I feel should've been added. 1) Game Apologiest found out that the mysterious Metal Sonic is actually a MechaGodzilla reference, as his design is heavily based on the mecha. 2) Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #4 (2021) actually has a villan's hideout be a 1 to 1 recreation of the SA1 casino, down to the floating hint computer outside.

27:48 I noticed this when playing Sonic Adventure 2 as well. There's a part towards the end of the game where Knuckles is holding the Master Emerald, but it's pretty much the same size as one of the regular Chaos Emeralds. Though I guess if these emeralds can do things like warp you through space or give you godlike powers, I guess it's not out of the question that they'd be able to change size. Also Amy clearly wears inhibitor rings because she's the ultimate _ultimate_ life form, the most powerful being in the universe. Trust me, my uncle works for Sega.

the thing abt amy potentially wearing inhibitor rings gave me a headcanon idea. mayb she can run as fast as sonic, but wears the inhibitor rings so she can live a normal humanlike lifestyle (since she's seen carrying groceries in the beginning of her story meaning she probably even has her own apartment, and way of earning money) and doesnt want to tear around everywhere too fast. and she doesnt take them off bc shes so used to them being on, that she forgets they're even there!

I have another theory that _Sonic Adventure_ and _Sonic Adventure 2_ were inspired by _AKIRA._ The destruction of Station Square (by a blob monster no less) and its flooding is very reminiscent of how Neo-Tokyo looked as it was being destroyed. Shadow is a hidden military experiment hidden away in stasis accessible via a funicular tunnel like the manga's namesake and Dr. Eggman's english voice sounds similar to Colonel Shikishima's voice in the Streamline dub of the film.

Wow I've been playing this game since I was like 5, and I didn't even know some of the stuff at the tip of the iceberg. Great vid!

[@JohnnyVector]

Awesome, thank you

[@TheDudeontheTube]

If there is ever a Sonic Adventure 2 iceberg, the Snapcube Gag Dub has to be included on there.

19:22 Dabbing, he was ahead of his time

[@LARKXHIN]

Those Unused jingles are cool as heck tbh I want one for my ringtone.

[@evanlandis990]

6:13 Game Apologist showed that it was like a mecha-godzilla version of a sonic robot

[@Mr_Gamer-Random]

9:15 the reason the man 3 appears is because the Egg Walker fight was built of, of an older map which had the man 3 and could actually be seen in the auto demo although the texture was messed up

[@mrwaxwave]

I’d have loved to see a Saturn Sonic Adventure!

[@wesleylantz9491]

The Sonic X as the actual Director's Cut video has been removed from YT...I was really looking forward to watching it. But overall great video! I thought I knew most of the obscure trivia about Sonic Adventure but I guess I hadn't even scratched the surface.

[@jjoshi4858]

About the Dred Foxx thing and about scamming fans, that wasn't him. That was Hunnid P, the guy that does the Knuckles raps from Sonic Adventure 2

[@jjoshi4858]

@Chip Wiseman Oh shit OH SHIT OH SHIT Parappa will never have a voice again :(

[@Iwss]

Knuckles’ gliding tutorial is in red mountain likely because in some demo disc versions of sonic adventure that let you play as knuckles had his demo level set to red mountain

[@SetSaturnST]

Damn, now I'm curious about that mysterious e-mail...

[@avserenity7240]

It was likely just referencing some small element they forgot to include in the games, or some newsletter that they’d send out during that time period

[@SetSaturnST]

@@avserenity7240 that can be a posibility

[@Xesh]

i threw the burgerman into the ocean and it creepily slid back up the beach to me.

[@TheWispGuy]

I might be remembering wrong, but I think the Shadow and Rouge drawings are used if you transport a Chao that likes either of them from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle to Sonic Adventure DX.

[@woweezowee5826]

Really, REALLY great video! So many interesting details. ONE thing though, when you were talking about the Chaos amoeba, you referred to it's prominent membrane, when I think you meant nucleus. IM SORRY I CANT HELP IT

[@JohnnyVector]

Thank you! Haha, good spot, my biology teacher would be shaking his head at that one.

[@BlizzardWindowsNT]

Hey Johnny, glad someone was able to make this iceberg. I was actually going to do it myself but, I been going through a lot of personal stuff lately. Regardless, I'm really happy that you were able to do, this is an amazing iceberg video you've done here!

[@BertSemanas]

The station square jingle actually can be listened on the Sonic Adventure DX Demo for the PC i remember that when you finish a stage a screen appears saying thank you for playing with that jingle

[@JohnnyVector]

That's interesting, so at least that one got used somewhere

[@hepmem512]

@@JohnnyVector the egg carrier one is used too. When the egg carrier transforms you can hear the gg carrier one.

[@biygas]

“Sorry Charlie” is a Starkist Tuna reference

[@LloydLandTree]

24:24 The first Mystic Ruins jingle really and I mean REALLY reminds me of “Unreal”. That game had similar music style.

[@dan_man3087]

Actually, the Egg Carrier jingle is used in the game durning Egg Carrier transormation.

[@thatonepersonainp5793]

My reactions to the adventure field jingles Ss 24:16 : that's a very nice sounding jingle you've got there Mr 1 24:21 : that reminds me of crash bandicoot music Mr 2 24:30 : *THIS DOES NOT REMIND ME OF CRASH BANDICOOT AT ALL* Ec 24:39 : actually that sounds like something related to eggman

[@quantaviousdingleberry4335]

6:04 There is a Possibility that, That Robot Is Silver Sonic, which is the Pre-Final Boss in Sonic 2 when you get to Death Egg, but we' ll, everyone can think differently, this is just my guess!

[@JohnnyVector]

A lot of people refer to him as Silver Sonic Mark 2, or something similar. It turns out he's actually based off of Mecha Godzilla! The Game Apologist has a video on it.

[@quantaviousdingleberry4335]

@@JohnnyVector oh,thanks!

[@paoluxio]

the station square jingle was used originally in the demo of Adventure DX, because when you finish playing one of the demo stages an "Thanks for Playing" screen will appear with the same jingle

[@jacobwylie3001]

Hey love the video. Been playing sonic adventure for years I noticed 3 things werent mentioned. The first being that theres an easter egg in the mystic ruins on the side of the pyramid. There are some ancient echidna statues. If you hide from them and see them from a distance they will appear fully but if you run up to certain ones they will retract as if hiding. The other thing not mentioned is that amys reflection during her mirror castle in dx is actually her og sonic adventure sprite! Also 3rd which is minor. In the xbox 360 version of sonic adventure you can play missions that have you interact with billboards. Some of the billboards have updated pictures. One being sonic unleashed and a few newer sonic x pics.

[@thesoupestsoupio7721]

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, But The "Oh No" was the wrong one. It's supposed to be the one before the "It's Starting To Happen!"

[@M3rtyville]

pretty sure the Chaos Emeralds used to be Super Emeralds at the past and Sonic 3 and Knuckles just give the chance to play through a "what if" by letting Sonic turn these back to their original form to become hyper.

[@AxelWedstar411]

Imagine being an Amazon tribesman and one day an effergy of an animal-headed god falls from the sky.

[@Motoskichimo1974]

Ah, So those short musical scores were the unused adventure field intros.. You could find them on the soundtrack if you listened to it from the game disc on the dreamcast. The Egg carrier one is a modified transformation noise heard when the ship transforms.

[@quantdev]

Oh wow, didn't know about the Mystery NPC, always thought it was recolored old man(like that statue) model

[@megablueman]

Pretty good video however you made a few mistakes. Knuckles's "Oh No" scene wasn't when he was fighting Chaos but shortly after that when Angel Island was begining to fall. You forgot to mention that Pleasure Castle's music was also a Sonic 3D Blast track that was unused in the final game. GameHut uploaded the demo tape of it on his channel. Also I'm pretty sure the burger statue taking trips was a reference to hint you can pick him up and carry him around.
