Unused Objects - Sonic Adventure

  • Correction: Jump Panels go up to 8, not 5. Thanks Icecap, but 9 is still unused at least.
    I've wanted to do object stuff in this game for a while, but there's so many different types of "unused" object-related stuff in the game that I didn't know where to start.
    This vid covers all (AFAIK) unique objects that aren't used at all. It also covers some objects that have unused subtypes, like Jump panels. Future parts should be covering all the out of bounds and unused SET file stuff.
    Credits go to Sonic Retro for basic info about Preview's discoveries/Sky Chase screenshots, Windii for her translation work and PkR for the DLC discovery.

    oh my god dude you just brought to light something that bothered me for YEARS
    when i was younger i remember seeing some video of big putting those keys in the slots in the hotel, and I would always to the hotel and try and do the same thing but of course, nothing would happen
    i thought maybe it was some weird hack or something but now that I know what it is that's so cool

    I know the Chao Card/Chao Race symbol at 14:35 is supposed to represent a heart above two chao, but seeing the card from afar makes it like a silly googly cross-eyed face with a bushy moustache ^^'.
    Also, pretty cool & helpful seeing those cutscene only & unused NPCs at 13:50. For a few years now I've been using Gen8's Chibi Maker to make a bunch of Sonic characters , and I've been focusing on Sonic Adventure's NPCs & key objects recently while replaying the game. Somehow I've made at least 70 chibis from Sonic Adventure alone, and I haven't even touched the general Badnik enemies yet ^^'.

    Can you carry other objects into the Chao Garden? If not, then the Chao Stadium card is probably unused just due to how it handles loading into the Chao gardens doesn't allow bringing items. Granted, they made it work for the Wind/Ice stones, so...
    It'd be really cool to see you cover an "Unused stuff" covering OOB or unused SET configurations, thanks for this video too though!

      It's kinda interesting the Dreamcast version had Sonic's 3D-Saturn model for the Tornado segments. Sonic Adventure apparently was intended at first for Saturn, but moved to Dreamcast when Sega decided to create Chaos as a way to demonstrate the Dreamcast's capabilities.
      However, Sega replaced that model in the GCN version.
