I'm a firm believer that Sonic Adventure aged like fine wine; no one can change my mind on that; it is a true work of art from the old days, and one I can't get enough off.
Just finished a run a couple of days ago and I still had lots of fun. The only thing I would say didn't age well is the camera, which is par the course for all early 3D games.
SA1 is in my opinion the only 3D Sonic game that Perfectly Translate 2D to 3D and it's odd that SA1 level design foumal hasn't returned in any shape or form. SA2 did keep the momentum base game play but all levels were only suited for 1 or 2 characters compared to SA1 having almost every character being able to be in every level, with there own unique gameplay styles.
Except for Mortar Canyon. It has soul of SA1 with countless skips. It just has flying boost instead of spin dash jump. And no 2D. Too bad it's the best minute of the game.
Don’t forget the fact that you can basically stop your aerial movement completely by pressing the action button after you jump, whether you’ve spin dashed or not. This is sort of a means of “backtracking” if you realize you made a mistake with your movement. You literally have an on/off button when it comes to the movement in this game. And it’s part of what makes Sonic Adventure feel so generous to play, in addition to the level design you touched upon. Man, I love this game.
Aye, everyone know this. No one says that just cause SA1 has better level design means that it's better than SA2. Its not. They're both great for different reasons. If we got SA3 and had all of the great qualities from both games combined, we'd have the perfect sonic game.
Yeah that's a good statement. "Who cares"? Yeah, I don't think it matters if the spin dash was intended to do those things. I think it's cool because it requires learning and knowing how it works. I like molten mine a lot but I think it's due to the music.
It would be great if you made a tier list of your favorite Sonic video games, in order to know a little more about your tastes in this franchise. pd: sonic is the best
I want a boost game without boosting because of Seaside Hill in sonic generations. It feels really good to play and I almost always forget that I even have boost while playing it. That is my favorite level of all time
This is one of the main reasons why I prefer SA1 over SA2. I think SA2 has the better story, but it's level design is too linear. SA1's level design is like an open playground.
It was a level design that was not holding Square, X, Y or Shift to boost thorugh enemies, but it was a level design of choice. Really disappointed SEGA only used this style mostly in Lost World and one time in Sonic Forces (mortar canyon), it's better than nothing but i mean, still, the levels are so good and work in the boosting formula which is not a common opinion, but looking at the mods (especially the forces one) they seem to work just as fine.
Sonic: controls smoothly. Level design: Fluid, creative and beautiful. Camera: BRRRRZZZZTT- I feel if the stages were blown up a little bit so sonic wasn't slamming into walls all willy nilly and they fixed the camera, this game would be perfect. But all the amazing stages - the goofy pinball casinopolis, the snowboarding, the orca, the vertical skyscraper running? Everything was beautiful. And so many niches in the game design where multiple characters could play the same maps in different ways.
I'm so happy to see Sonic Adventure getting the praise it deserves it's my favorite Sonic game I love this game it's soundtrack gameplay story are so good even if the cutscenes need improvement but hey a remaster would fix that up in no time I mean Sega take notes from Crash Trilogy and Spiro Trilogy remasters cause they did so well updating old PlayStation graphics. Sonic Adventure is a Sonic game that I never get tired of running around in it's hub worlds and replaying levels just to succeed it's extra objective goodies in the level to improve my skills and I love switching from English to Japanese voices it's fun to do
As an average boost enjoyer, I have something to say (I played SA2 and Unleashed for the first time 2 weeks ago, so: I have no nostalgia for any of them): I have the feeling that the boost gameplay is meant to be the extremes of Sonic, let me explain: I didn't die as many times in SA2 than in Unleashed and this is due to the fact that, the game has a slow pace, you have time to react and each obstacle won't make you die but they will slow you down. -With the boost it's the opposite, the game has a REALLY fast pace, you don't react because you just don't have time,instead you have to experience, die, and then come back knowing what you will face. The boost in my opinion provides at the same time the most adrenaline but also feels the most unfair but when you played a game with this much adrenaline and moments where your heart just stops beating, adventure style feels soo empty, like I felt like I was playing a Mario game with some different mechanics and some automated speed sections. Anyway, let me guys know what you think
Yeah it'd be too much to except a person whose started off with boost to find the value in adventure. Especially since Sonic Team makes Sonics only value his speed. I find the freedom and diversity in the adventure games so much more appealing then blasting through a linear level that does all the work for you.
SA1 has the best spindash in any 3D Sonic game imo! That's part of why I prefer SA1 over 2, but also the open levels, like you said. Also, I think Windy Valley Beta was cut due to the hardware not being able to handle it at the time. Maybe it could be added in a future remake? 🤔
Imo, I sorta agree as skipping can be fun sometimes. I really prefer the classic scheme of speed, it coming from momentum and player improvement. While there is momentum in adventure, I dont think its as pleasing or satisfying as the classics (which is really my main gripe). Im also not a big fan of the speed panels due how it feels as if the game takes away control from you and really just speed you up. I know why its there, but I think they could've find an alternative solution so the levels wouldnt break. I think Sonic 3 levels are a perfect example of what makes a good sonic level as it has a nice blend of platforming and highspeed action. When it comes to the prototype of Windy Valley, I think they were in the right step of level design. Just imagine how satisfying it would be to play Windy Valley Beta with physics that are very similar to the classics. Thats not to say Adventure is a bad game, because oh boy, I love it to death. Its just the fact that I think the jump to 3D wasnt fully realized.
IMO Sonic Adventure was the best 3D Sonic, and it is still one of the only *good* 3D Sonic games. I'm not sure how well it's aged at this point because I haven't played it in decades, but I have to imagine with all its glaring bugs and the extra characters' levels, two things that were forgiven to some extent back then but I don't know how forgivable they are now, it probably hasn't aged the best. I should go back and try to replay it sometime. Better yet, I think it's time for a Sonic Adventure remake. And a Skies of Arcadia Legends remaster. Sega, are you listening?
I completely agree. SA has perfect level design. I feel like it's not the gameplay that hasn't aged well, but the cutscenes haven't. In my opinion, the cutscenes are absolutely dog water
Why hasn’t Lizuka ever gone back to this adventure exploration 3D pop style? He could remake a lot of classic games or even reimagine sonic with this formula and he’s never done it.
I hate the spin dash in SA1. Intentional or not, it's extremely overpowered and massively overshadows everything else the game has to offer. The SA1 spin dash would be more fitting in a spinoff game; it absolutely is not and should not be a staple of the Adventure formula. Sure, spin-dash jumping lets you go faster. But it's used to skip every other mechanic in the level. At that point, you're no longer playing a Sonic game; you're playing golf. There is no room for style or flair when all you do is spin-dash jump past all the interesting elements of the level. Sonic is about going fast AND looking cool while doing it. There is nothing stylish about spin-dash jumping. That's not to say that the mechanic can't be fun. Combined with dynamic terrain like the tipping rocks in Red Mountain, it can definitely be interesting. But for that same reason, it needs a game ENTIRELY based around it, and it shouldn't become the core of Sonic's identity. People keep trying to say that SA2's linearity is a bad thing and they really couldn't be more wrong. It does a way better job of making you feel as cool as Sonic. To this day I still consider Metal Harbor the peak of Adventure level design. A clean A-rank in Metal Harbor is some of the most fun I've had in any Sonic game. Linearity is only bad when it's easy or lacks optional difficulty (e.g. "boost to win"). SA2 gives you plenty of chances to show your skill with trick ramps, timed lightspeed dashes, and other timing challenges.
That comes to how the player wants to experience the game. I never used the spin dash, 1. I like running in the open areas and the obstacles and 2.*I sucked at it*. If people want to dash past everything then that's their buisness.
Nice video, but I can't help but wonder if you slowed down the audio. You talked slowly enough that it sounds exactly right when I speed it up by x1.25. I don't mind, all I have to do is spend 5 sec adjusting the playback speed, but perhaps you do as a creator.
Spindash Skips don’t have anything to do with level design, you are praising the sonic’s physics/spindash. Level design has to do with the attributes of the physical stage
Level design in a video game is completely built off of how the character that you are playing moves. Sonic's spindash is a core component to enjoying the level design at it's fullest potential. That's why I talk about the spindash a lot in the video, the physics of the spindash within the level design makes it an overall great experience.
@@Matthasnocuts but the way you talk about it makes it seem like if you were to mod SA1 physics into SA2 or heroes then you’d be saying the same thing: praising Sonics ability to spindash over obstacles. I feel like it’s comparable to talking about mario odyssey’s level design but your main point being the cool jumps you can do with cappy and the coins they have hidden sometimes. Instead I feel like you should be talking about the visuals, puzzles, enemies, scripted segments, and routes when coming to a levels design, and go through what makes each sonic stage fun/great.
Ya know ya wish Sonic adventure2 had open level designs like first game adventure2 still fun and is my favorite Sonic game or is unleashed hard choice between those two but I love Sonic adventure2 mostly for the story would of been perfect with more open level designs but I see why they went linear to focus on the story which can have a great story and fun gameplay and open level designs I don't know maybe they didn't have the time to make the levels more open like Sonic adventure1 so went with the linear route.
As a Sonic Adventure Speedrunner, it's super funny to do so many skips, like you can even beat Casinopolis in under 10 seconds if you wanted to. And I know it seems like there aren't many skips in Windy Valley, but there's a skip that can let you skip the entire section after the Tornado. The speedrunning scene is kinda dead for the game, but we at least have Niczur. :)
It's not the fact that it's linear which ruined sonic forces level design, it was just filled in the brim with nothing, and linear stages can still have branching paths like seen in Unleashed and Generations, and i also kind of like sonic forces and that's just my opinion so feel free to disagree as long as you don't harass me.
People really pounce on Sonic Adventure for aging horribly when Super Mario 64 exists. As someone who has no nostalgia for Mario 64, I really didn't enjoy myself when playing it in 3d all stars. This is a case of NOT AGING WELL WHICH SOMETHING PEOPLE ONLY ACCUSE SONIC ADVENTURE OF
@@Gnidel Mario 64 hasn’t aged well regardless. It’s a revolutionary game and can still somewhat be enjoyed to this day, but if you’re gonna accuse Sonic of having a rough transition into 3d when Sonic Adventure was praised for being one of the best 3d platformers of its time, because it hasn’t aged well or something, then pounce on Mario for it because 64 aged just as bad or possibly worse.
@@schakiarligonde1736 Well obviously Sonic Adventure didn't age well. It's a physics based 3d platformer that really had nothing to go off of. But it's not like Super Mario 64 aged well either.
Throughout the 2000s people loved these games, during the 2010s the internet collectively turned on them, and now in the 2020s it seems as though people are starting to warm up to them again.
@@schakiarligonde1736 That's....not a hot take at all. Hating on SA1 has been considered cool in recent years. A hot take needs to be an actually unique and original stance and that isn't.
I think Fire & Ice has the similar potential, even though there’s no reward like the Speed Highway level. Check the speedrun starts from 14:20 in the video below. ua-cam.com/video/TDE3FliEuFs/v-deo.html
You played Sonic Heroes as a kid and started to like it less as you got older. For me, my appreciation only grew. Yes. I made this comment on a Sonic Adventure video. Fear me if you dare.
But seriously, back when I first saw this video, I really felt enticed to go back and play this game again, so thank you for helping me appreciate this legendary game even more.
@@schakiarligonde1736 1. I can actually go back to any playstyle in that game, unlike w/ SA1 where I only really go back to Metal Sonic. 2. I honestly find the levels and controls to be more fun to work w/ in 06.
The level design is perfect and another thing that adds onto this is how well Sonic controls in this game.
You’re damn right, it was! I love SA2 and its speedrun potential, but SA1 perfectly captures the classic level design in 3D
Agreed!
Agreed
I'M LOOKING AT YOU SONIC FORCES!
Take a shot every time he says "spin dash".
Now THIS is happenin!

I hope sega goes back to the adventure style, I grew up with boost and later on I played sa2 and honestly I like the sa2 style most
Same
You just made me want to replay Sonic Adventure
I completely agree with you, except for Windy Valley. I prefer the final version, but that might just be nostalgia
Yeah using the spin dash a lot is 100% necessary for all of the a missions
SA1's Unknown From M.E. is better than SA2's in my opinion!
Same
Same it is more iconic
Because it is.
Great video
I just completed this game 100% today coincidentally 😂😂😂😂
It sure does look like fun.
My first Sonic game I ever played was Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast)!!
I 100% agree.
Sonic Adventure was also the 1st game I've played ;v;
It also introduced me to art and music :o
Yeah that's a good statement. "Who cares"? Yeah, I don't think it matters if the spin dash was intended to do those things. I think it's cool because it requires learning and knowing how it works. I like molten mine a lot but I think it's due to the music.

I think the music of windy valley feels a lot like classic sonic music. In fact the beta of this level fells like classic sonic in 3D
SA1 has the best spindash in any 3D Sonic game imo! That's part of why I prefer SA1 over 2, but also the open levels, like you said.
Also, I think Windy Valley Beta was cut due to the hardware not being able to handle it at the time. Maybe it could be added in a future remake? 🤔
Nice bro
I actually didn't know that you spindash up building in Speed Highway. I always just spindashed to the other pathway.
Levels should feel like a theme park...tbh the levels is what makes a sonic game. Just seeing the amazing backgrounds and gimmicks brings it to life
I have always wondered how would Dr. Ivo Robotnik play in Sonic Adventure 1 ?
smh the DX models
Even without the broken spin dash sonic adventure still manages to be one of the best sonic games due to the level design
Imo, I sorta agree as skipping can be fun sometimes. I really prefer the classic scheme of speed, it coming from momentum and player improvement. While there is momentum in adventure, I dont think its as pleasing or satisfying as the classics (which is really my main gripe).

3:27 I beat the game 3 times and still never seen that level.Can someone please tell me the name of it?
It's a Beta Windy Valley Mod
While I prefer Sonic Adventure 2 overall, this kinda just lays out everything I liked better about Sonic Adventure 1 perfectly
I hate the spin dash in SA1. Intentional or not, it's extremely overpowered and massively overshadows everything else the game has to offer. The SA1 spin dash would be more fitting in a spinoff game; it absolutely is not and should not be a staple of the Adventure formula. Sure, spin-dash jumping lets you go faster. But it's used to skip every other mechanic in the level. At that point, you're no longer playing a Sonic game; you're playing golf. There is no room for style or flair when all you do is spin-dash jump past all the interesting elements of the level. Sonic is about going fast AND looking cool while doing it. There is nothing stylish about spin-dash jumping.
That's not to say that the mechanic can't be fun. Combined with dynamic terrain like the tipping rocks in Red Mountain, it can definitely be interesting. But for that same reason, it needs a game ENTIRELY based around it, and it shouldn't become the core of Sonic's identity.
People keep trying to say that SA2's linearity is a bad thing and they really couldn't be more wrong. It does a way better job of making you feel as cool as Sonic.

Great not perfect
So basically it's good because it's broken
like 600
Eh, I still say 06 and SA2 are better.
How is 06 better
@@schakiarligonde1736 1. I can actually go back to any playstyle in that game, unlike w/ SA1 where I only really go back to Metal Sonic.
2. I honestly find the levels and controls to be more fun to work w/ in 06.
