    Sonic Adventure Battle 3 toys

    by tuckfamily@frognet.net
    Q&A

    My son told me that Sonic Adventure Battle 3 toys were out in Kmart or Electronics Boutique and he wants them for his birthday or Christmas. I have not been able to find them. Have they really come out or is this a rumor? I think it’s Adventure 3 – I, personally don’t know much about Sonic except that my son is a huge fan and plays the games all the time. I know they are new Sonic toys.

    Check JoyRide Studios for places to get them. Unless you can order the action figures online, it’s still a matter of luck as some have seen them (normally Sonic, I’ve only heard of one Shadow sighting), while others do not because of the limited supply. –True Red

    Zelda!

    by Wez
    Q&A

    Do you realise that you have a Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening DX tune on one of the pages of your website?

    We have a lot of non-Sonic midis playing throughout the site, like Donky Kong Country 2 and Duck Tales.

    Shadow the hedgehog

    by Shadowfan
    Q&A

    1. Is Shadow about to appear in the Sonic Comic books? 2. How does Shadow know where the Chaos Emerald in the bank was? 3. How did Shadow and Rouge escape Prison Island? 4. What’s Shadow doing on the pumpkin hills when Sonic and friends are heading for Eggman’s? 5. In the final battle between Sonic and Shadow, how does Shadow use Chaos Control without a Chaos Emerald? 6. Finally, Tails said that Eggman was at the Space Colony ARK when they traced his call to the president. How did Tails know where Eggman’s pyramid was?

    1) Read the comic previews for information.
    2) It’s not explained.
    3) Eggman and company left before the explosion.
    4) He was contacted by Rouge to look out for, and follow the Tornado.
    5) Not explained.
    6) Knuckles saw Eggman going into the pyramid, so he showed Tails and Sonic.

    Sonic things?

    by Edge hog
    Q&A

    just a couple of things 1)in stardust speedway when you are raceing matel sonic there is a jump when you start out is there a way to jump on that platform? 2) When is sonic adave 2 (sorry if my words are wrong) and sonic mega collan is coming out? thats it thank you!!!!

    1. If you are referring to the platform with the speed up and 1 up, you have to get to it by reving off the incline that points to it and then jumping.
    2. Stay tuned to the News Page for updates

    Sonic Adventure 2 Battle

    by Angelique Rein
    Q&A

    1)How do I get a group of chaos to play with the ball I won from chao race? 2)How do I get my chao to transform into a different type(running type,flying type,etc.)?

    1. Chao will sometimes play with the ball if you throw it.
    2. Give it animals or drives corresponding to the type you want it to become. Red animals/drives = power, green = running, purple = flying, yellow = swimming. If a chao’s already evolved into one type, you can alter its looks by focusing on another type during a certain period of its life (ie. a Flying-type chao that’s given red animals/drives after it’s evolved will look different than a Flying-type that was given yellow animals/drives). After it reincarnates, you can make it into a completely different type no matter what it was originally.

    by Shadic
    Q&A

    Hi, i’ve got a simple question regarding Adventure 2 : battle. I have got all Emblems + completed Green hill stage with an A, and i was looking forwad to getting the new costumes that other sites said (Eg: Space sonic, Space Shadow) but i did not get them? Do these new costumes exist or are they the costumes you get when you get an A rank as the character?

    You should have gotten the costumes after clearing all missions with each character.

    Error in episode guide for Sonic the Hedgehog?

    by James
    Q&A

    I noticed that your episode guide for Sonic the Hedgehog (http://www.sonichq.org/cartoon/SatAM.php3) is much different from the episode guide at tvtome (http://www.tvtome.com/SonictheHedgehog/guide.html). Which one is correct?

    It depends on your version of “correct.” Most guides on various internet sites are in order that the episodes actually first aired on TV. The guide on this site is in storyline order irregardless of air date. –True Red

    choa gardens

    by BH
    Q&A

    I now in Sonic Adventure 2 battle you can get out side of the choa garden. Is there a way of getting outside of anyother garden? Also, is there other gardens then the hero and dark? I heard theres a level bewond choas choa what is it and how do you get it.

    1. Unless you mean the Chao Lobby, no. Glitches don’t count.
    2. No, there are only three gardens (Hero, Neutral and Dark).
    3. There isn’t a “higher” chao evolution beyond Chaos.

    by Neb
    Q&A

    Why are there no Sonic the Comic (UK version) reviews in your archive? I’m guessing that you’re all American but surely there’s someone out there with a load of back issues (I did have but sold them all 🙁

    No, we’re not all American. As with every part of the site, things are updated when the person (or people) involved in the that particular area can update it. –True Red

    by ShadowZ
    Q&A

    I don’t really read the comics… Is Ixis Naugus good? Or is he a bad guy? ‘Cuz in the SatAm Series ‘The Void’ he was against Robotnik… And let Sonic save his friends out of the void.

    Questions from the Darkside!_(Mwahaha)!

    by Eggfreak
    Q&A

    I have a few questions for you to answer:1)Is Shadow truly dead?Because when he was falling through the Earth’s atmosphere I saw that he was still in his Super form.If I’m not mistaken,when Sonic or Shadow are in there godlike states they are COMPLETELY INVINCIBLE,even to blazing heat that the planet’s atmosphere posesses,and extreme impacts that would accur when Shadow plummeted to his so- called “doom”(oh,and just for the record,that “shiny effect” wasn’t Shadow using the Chaos Controll,it was a completely too familliar anime effect that is used to show that he,she,or it is falling or “blasting off”(as I like to call it)to a verry far distance,and is also used as some dramatic effect).2)Will any of the older characters(like the Chaotix or Fang the Sniper) be making any new appearances?Because I’m DYING to see Fang as a playable character(I’m already aware of Sonic Drift 2 and Sonic the Fighters,it’s just finding them that’s the trick).3)You wuldn’t know about anyone who might be selling any arcade machines,like Sonic the Fighters,would you?PLEASE TELL ME!!!4)Since E-102’s appearance in Sonic Shuffle,I’ve been wondering if “he” is still existant in some parrallel universe(like Maginaryworld),or has taken the nearest portal back to Earth to keep a watchfull “lense” on his former master,Dr. Eggman,and help keep the world safe from evil.Help me out here!

    1) It’s unknown.
    2) Not too likely.
    3) Try Ebay.
    4) Shuffle’s not a game that follows any storyline other than its own.

    super sonic and crew

    by james borley
    Q&A

    hi i was woundering if you could show super sonic, mega tails, hyper knukles and ultra amy on your web site or just show a pitchuer of them. and how do you get those characters on sonic advance and sonic adventure on dreamcast thanks from james borley

    First off, Mega Tails and Ultra Amy don’t exist. Read the profiles to learn about the super forms of Sonic, Tails, & Knuckles. You can find screenshots of Super Sonic in the downloads gallery. You can find a few comic scans of Super Sonic and Hyper Knuckles (the equivalent of Super Knuckles in Sega) in the scans gallery. Only Super Sonic is in Sonic Advance & Sonic Adventure. Details on getting Super Sonic in Sonic Advance are here. In Sonic Adventure, you have to beat everyone’s game to unlock the last game (marked with a yellow question mark in the character select screen) in which you play as Super Sonic at the end against Perfect Chaos. –True Red

    Robotnik

    by ShadowZ
    Q&A

    1.) I heard that Robotnik died in the comic series and became robo robotnik… is that true?

    No, Dr. Ivo Robotnik and Robo-Robotnik/Eggman are two entirely different people. Go read the profiles to learn more about them. –True Red

    A few questions about the blue hedgehog and his gang

    by Fairy
    Q&A

    1. is sonic mega collection, for GBA able to conect to the one fo GCN? 2. how come in the comic, some of the animals (well, thats what they are) don’t have many clothes on (like Sonic, or Sally) and some do (like Amy and the dude with the french accsent) 3.what animal is Sally any way? 4. is it sonics shoes that make him run fast, or something else that makes him fast?

    1) It’s not the Sonic Mega Collection on GBA, it’s Sega Smash Pack.
    2) Fashion.
    3) Squirrel/Chipmunk cross.
    4) Sonic’s shoes make it so he doesn’t burn up his feet when he runs.

    by Darkilightjg
    Q&A

    1) What ever happened to Hyper Sonic??? 2) Does Sonic Team have a good explanation for making the most recent Super Sonic appearances on the last level only (that’s pretty lame)? 3) Are there any stages that can go beyond Hyper level (I can’t find any comics so I don’t know)?

    1) That form’s only in Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
    2) Not that I know of.
    3) Check the profiles section.

    Kintobor

    by Fish
    Q&A

    Why isn’t maria and Dr. Gerald last name Kintobor?

    The Kintobor name was never used in the games. Only “Robotnik” was given outside of Japan. Other continueties used “Kintobor” in explaining how Dr. Robotnik (Eggman) became evil, saying that he reversed his name when he changed. Since the games are now trying to move back to the Japanese names, they made “Robotnik” the last name of Gerald and Maria, as though it’s Eggman’s family name.
