It was a critical time for the SEGA – if they weren’t able to establish and maintain enough momentum at retail before the almost messianic coming on the PlayStation 2, the dream would be over almost before it had begun.

Given Sonic’s erratic career trajectory since then, it’s easy to forget that back in 1999 the mainstream gaming populace still held a lot of affection for him, and that there was a palpable sense of optimism in the buildup to the Sonic Adventure’s release, which would be day and date with the Dreamcast itself outside of Japan. While it might be a stretch to say that the console’s success rested on that of Sonic Adventure, the game certainly stood the best chance of returning disenfranchised Mega Drive owners that had abandoned SEGA during the Saturn years to the fold.


The original Sonic Adventurehad been the Dreamcast’s great white hope: the first true 3D outing for SEGA’s most important franchise. Fifteen years ago, Dreamcast-owning Sonic fans were preparing to mark the decade that had passed since his Mega Drive debut with the release Sonic Adventure 2. Rinse and repeat for quick leveling.Sonic may turn 25 today, but this certainly isn’t the first milestone birthday that SEGA’s venerable blue mascot has celebrated. Load up Chao World, enter your garden and you will have kept the drives from the stage. When available you can also purchase Chao Fruit from the black Market, this is a very unique and handy fruit as it puts up ALL attributes when eaten.Ī little tip for those looking at the fastest Chaos drive farming method, start up Metal Harbour, kill the first 10 enemies (and picking up their drives) then exit the stage. Once you get all the attributes up with drives you will need to use fruit to get up your stamina as there are no drives for this. The reason I suggest Drives over animals is because certain animals actually lower your level progress of certain attributes while raising others. I find the best way is to bring them drives, these are found by destroying robots, they're coloured differently based on the attributes they raise. you can feed them fruit, bring them animals found in the stages, or bring them drives also found in the stages. For this achievement you need to level all attributes of a Chao to Level10 for the first time.
