I remember when I went to Sam’s Club on September 9th 1999 to get the newest Final Fantasy, they had a Dreamcast under a plastic milk carton zip tied to the shelf running a Sonic Adventure demo. I would stand in line and play the first level over and over again. I remember looking at the grass and honestly believing games would never look better than that. Christmas morning 1999 was lit.
Before the Dreamcast was released, the local cinema had 2 arcade-style Dreamcast machines in the foyer. Me and my brothers would visit especially to play Sonic Adventure - by the time we got our own console, I was a pro at the first level 😂 Great memories!
It was a lot like Super Mario 64 in that I could not believe a game was capable of something like Emerald Coast. Also, Sonic was as much a comic and cartoon series as a video game because Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Archie, so it was amazing that they finally merged the games with a full shonen anime plot. People may criticize the alternate gameplay, but when you're a kid and see 6 playable characters, that really leaves a good first impression.
Lol when I played Generations and they basically remade this scene I was tripping as a kid at how cool it was. I never realized how much I loved that game until now.
@@thebrightstartt9294 in my opinion this stage worked better in generations then here. Like that's actually speed highway in my opinion. But this game is older So I can't blame them
"Listen Closely, Approach Me, Sucka' punch me, Those who try to treat me like greater than *something* possible, I cut a sucka' in small chunks, spit more rhymes than Michael Jordan makes slam dunks!"
People say these games were poorly made, yeah sure I get that but at 2:00 when you're running down the building. I remember being young and freaking the fuck out at how cool that was.
This game isn't amazing by today's standards, and SM64 definitely aged much better (except for the camera, SA has a much better camera), but people really exaggerate how bad this game has aged. It's still really solid even if it's not that amazing anymore. Can't say the same for SA2 though to be honest. Sonic/Shadow's stages are still great but Tails/Eggman have always been awful, while Knuckles/Rouge are a massive downgrade from Knuckles' in SA1.
It's a REALLY fun stage but in CITY design wise it's probably the worst city in the world. Here we have streets that form loop-da-loops, The street just ends on a ramp thaat go's to the top of buildings, The street it's self starts on the exit of a building, the streets curve on to the side of buildings. It's over all really strange and would probably be impossible to get through without dying or being horribly injured (in real life)
Tiernan Brennan It wouldn't probably work the way you think. The highways indeed look complicated, however, if Sonic can maneuver so smoothly through this, I'm sure many people can.
Tiernan Brennan That is true. However, I think it would be interesting if a city like Speed Highway was real. Artificial gravity would help with moving around the city, of course.
Has nobody heard of how many deaths happened on this highway? It was fucking brutal cars falling 100 ft to the ground, the weight of trucks making the elevated parts collapse killing hundreds, 12 buildings fell, on ramps making vehicles fly into 4 of the 12 buildings I talked about earlier, blood everywhere... I die inside just thinking about it....
That at Dawn section at the end of this level was one of my favorite parts of this game as a kid. I used to play this level just to chill there for some minutes while listening to its song. I think I liked it because it felt like a real place with many of those hidden boxes, so exploring it was super fun. Most sonic levels were kinda linear, so that part definetely stood out to me as a kid. It is a shame that the speed highway from generations does not have a at Dawn section.
I want SA to be recreated with the action levels fully explorable from Windy Valley to Jungle Egg Base. The low res backgrounds seem like they have none story stuff that'd be happening for you to do.
I love the subtle story it tells. Most of the Sonic Adventure levels have a vacation theme going on (e.g. snowboarding on Ice Cap, ziplining in Red Mountain, Emerald Coast and Twinkle Park period), but this is the most unique take on it. First section is like avoiding rush hour traffic, second part is literally dropping into the hotel, and the last part is leaving the hotel on a bright sunny morning to enjoy the sights.
It technically does it just doesn't have the music change but it does have the same spirit multiple paths it's on the ground for the most part and there's cars you dodge so yea. And the level ends with the sun rising so yea
To this day, the fullspeed running animation of this game still is my favourite. I mean, this game didn't have boost, but it still have an insane sense of speed.
Love Speed Highway and it's theme. This level pours a lot of life into not just Sonic's world, but speed. Combined with the speed sneakers' theme, it sends chills down my cheeks because of how exhilarating and fast the experience is.
I feel absolutely so sorry for anyone, Sonic The Hedgehog fan or not who never got to experience Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic Heroes and or Shadow The Hedgehog 2005 in their childhood. Dang man they really missed out in the worst way!! 😂 These video games are my pride and joy 😊
@@gechotaris that’s cool but if we’re going with favorite games Heroes is my favorite but I know is not the best, overral best goes to generations there’s speed, platforming and and levels are worth exploring even some people think is just boost to win if you get to know all the alternate routes it’s such a replayable game, and thanks bro I respect your opinion too you have great taste
The Dreamcast was only supposed to run 2D games like The Saturn but due to the release of the N64 and PS1 they had to make do with the Saturn engine and 3D
I remember driving my car in the summer of '99 when suddenly this blue fucker popped up in front of my windshield and flew across the city faster than light..Good times..
I’ve actually never reached this stage because of a glitch that locked me in a flashback, where Tikal wouldn’t show up to trigger the cutscene. I never finished the game
There is a speed glitch. If you pick up a speed power up immediately charge your spinball attack and hold it until the speed power up music ends, then release. Afterwards you’ll notice that Sonic will run faster then normal, but it only lasts until you complete the stage or die.
I never played this game but I always wonders truly why this stage was chosen to be in Generations. But from running down the building to dashing out in dawn I can really feel why. It's a super huge shame the dawn section was in Generations.

3:21 He is so happy that he got a seizure.
Sonic is programmed to look at interactive objects (enemies, npcs, item boxes, animals) so he was looking at the animals coming out of the capsule
Those damn speed shoes killing the music lol. Good run though. Speeding down the skyscraper is always the most orgasmic part.

Yeah. How the hell did they do that?
+Max Milton They probably messed around with Sonic's gravity in a certain way so he could do that.
It Was amazing back in 98. Just compare it to Súper Mario 64. In fact, Speed Highway Was the trademark of the amazing graphics it had.

Well, it's not impossible to live or move in a city such as Speed Highway.
Not while driving a car. And you probably would get injured.
Tiernan Brennan
It wouldn't probably work the way you think.
The highways indeed look complicated, however, if Sonic can maneuver so smoothly through this, I'm sure many people can.
Sonic runs at the speed of sound, and is a lot more acrobatic, and maneuverable.
Tiernan Brennan
That is true. However, I think it would be interesting if a city like Speed Highway was real.
Artificial gravity would help with moving around the city, of course.
Well damn, all the speed power ups ruined the soundtrack... -_-
you mean made it way better because "Hey You! It's Time to Speed Up!" is one of the best songs of all time.
@@kitmin1534 I mean, this isn't the soundtrack version of the song, this is the song in the level. You can listen to the song separately.
They had to add that because there was no boost back then

1:59 first mach speed section
johnjohnjohnnycake Oh wow, you're right! I never noticed that Sonic is constantly going forward at full speed for some reason XD
I thought that i was the only one who noticed that
You mean Terminal Velocity with an actual end?
3:26 Sonic's head.
Xreyabsolution Hes supposed to be looking at the animals but then the game forces him to look at the camera.
Sonic looks at interactive objects(animals, npcs, item boxes, enemies), he was looking at the animals coming out of the egg prison

Alright, two speed shoes in a row was a little ridiculous, but at least now I can listen to that kick-awesome stage musi--
1:24
FFFFUUUUUUDGE!!!!

This game was ahead of its time
Why? that was my time?
this level really captures a sense of speeeeEEEd
very memorable
Nope only on generations
Man this brings back so many memories, all good.
the best stage in the game!
2:03 When the ice cream truck is outside but you live on the 9000th floor
At dawn is simply a masterpiece

I FREAKING LOVE THE SPEED SHOES IN THIS GAME
I love this stage
during speed shoes it's like mach speed sections from sonic 06 ( I love all the mach speed sections from the game )
2:00 favorite area of the stage
Music track: *Wants to go up and down and all around*
*Hey You, Time to Speed Up has joined the chat*
The infrastructure in this world is highly impractical.
Sure its pasted on wallpaper, but man that city view is so breathtaking
I wish I could run fast in highway designed like this
This is my actually favorite action stage from the game.
Same
why At Dawn so short... why no At Dawn on Generations :(
Kero i swear Modern Sonic is definitely not the same as Dreamcast Sonic
Police:pay for the damage you have done to the broken glass sonic sonic:no way I'll keep running down the skyscraper nd not pay xD
Hahahahahahaha
3:11 you can actually see the skyscraper where you begin, right behind the townhall
The speed shoes in sonic adventure is just class😍🔥🔥🔥
Did anyone else know that both Chris Thorndyke and Cream the Rabbit make cameo appearances in the DX version of this game?
Nope, where??
You're playing this ways I never thought about. You're my hero, dood!
god, sonic adventure 1 is so full of SOUL
WHY WON'T U LET US LISTEN TO THE MUSIC IN THE FRIST PART OF THE STAGE?
Umm, Why don't you go to the other videos that is the clean theme?
Because this video is a gameplay of the stage lol.
Can’t wait to experience this in HD (Sonic Adventure Legacy Skin + Modern Speed Highway)

Best stages in the game

Same.
Like a Frontiers 2, but it's city themed
the n64 couldnt have dreamed of visuals like this in its lifetime.

Ahhhh nostalgia. My favorite level in Sonic Adventure/DX
I love the game for gamecube and dreamcast and I love the stage even though you got 2 speed shoes
Okay, so on my very first playthrough of this stage i was geeking the fuck out when i started running down the side of the building.
Is it wrong that I like the original Dreamcast version and despise the DX/HD versions?
Treyworld No it's not wrong at all. 👍☺
Treyworld I love and prefer the Dreamcast because it’s the original Sonic Adventure💙
DX completely ruined the lighting and textures, so no.
Yes because SADX is SH!T and started the Dark age of the series
Stardust Speedway: Get down!
Speed Highway: Up and down and all around!
i had only played adventure dx prior to this video and i am now realizing how colorless it looks compared to the og dreamcast version
The best level in whole game with fucking awesome music
I remember driving my car in the summer of '99 when suddenly this blue fucker popped up in front of my windshield and flew across the city faster than light..Good times..
crazy to know how many adventures sonic has been on
I find it a bit funny that during the Goin Down part you can jump and land back on the building like gravity is going towards the building.
I played the generation version first. It was surprising seeing the whole section after the vertical running when I played the original version.
MY SISTER DOESNT UNDERSTAND THE BEST TIME I HAD WITH THAT FRICKING HOTEL PART
I’ve actually never reached this stage because of a glitch that locked me in a flashback, where Tikal wouldn’t show up to trigger the cutscene. I never finished the game
i still have sonic adventure and i play speed highway more than anyone and usually i finish with 400 rings but you did great!
Is it my idea or this looks way more controllable than the DX version on pc?
It is
As a Malay, this is how Putrajaya's highway feels like
2:02 Best Part of Speed Highway
I LUV SPEED HIGHWAY IN SONIC ADVENTURE FOR SEGA DREAMCAST 1998 !!
This stage has good music!
1998 looked good to be honest
When Falls Thru The Glass And Runs Down That Building !!!
+DJDashR3 the music or the stage as a whole?
That was pretty amazing.
Who loves the music of the at dawn part of speed highway :)
Gives me a 90s anime feel
I'm not sure if anyone notices
1:50 but doesn't the platform sonic jumped off look like the SMASH BROS LOGO
no its a circle with a cross on it,smash has a cross on the lower left side and not the middle
