Template:Bob320 Sonic Adventure was the first main Sonic game released in full 3D. It was tentatively titled "Sonic RPG" due to the exploration and puzzle-solving elements. It was a title released for the SEGA Dreamcast in 1999, to much fanfare.

Synopsis/Characters

The game is fixed on the history of Chaos, a mysterious liquid lifeform who was released from the Master Emerald by Dr. Eggman. Eggman planned that if he gave Chaos the seven Chaos Emeralds, he would become a powerful monster. Together they would destroy Station Square and turn it into Robotnikland.

Sonic who was visiting Station Square encountered Chaos. Tails appeared in the city and he and Sonic ran into Eggman in the Mystic Ruins. Eggman revealed his dastardly plan to the two and he grabbed their Chaos Emerald and fed it to Chaos who transformed into Chaos One. Sonic and Tails now are venturing off to find the other emeralds before Chaos gets them.

Meanwhile, Knuckles is searching for the lost pieces of the Master Emerald, after Chaos shattered it. And he is also trying to solve the mystery of the destruction of his ancestors.

Amy Rose gets caught up in the madness, when Eggman's flying fortress, the Egg Carrier, flies over Station Square and a Flicky falls into Amy's arms. She names the bird Birdy and has to protect him from one of Eggman's robots, E-100 Zero.

Newcomer, E-102 Gamma, an artillery robot built by Dr. Eggman for evil purposes is sent to collect a tailed frog, but ends up changing his programming and life forever, when he meets Amy and Birdy. He betrays his master and goes to save his fellow E-100 Series. After destroying E-103 Delta, E-104 Epsilon and E-105 Zeta, Gamma has to face his sibling E-101 Beta. Gamma wins, but Beta damages Gamma and the two die, releasing the birds within them.

Big the Cat, also a newcomer to the series, gets mixed up in the adventure. Big is a peaceful tabby cat who lives in the jungle with his friend Froggy. But when Froggy grows an odd tail and swallows Big's lucky charm, which is actually the yellow Chaos Emerald, Big has to leave his peaceful home to save his best pal from Chaos.

But as these six heroes go about on their own missions, a mysterious echidna girl named Tikal teleports them to the ancient past and shows the history of Chaos, herself and the Chao.

Chaos eventually gains all seven Chaos Emeralds and becomes Perfect Chaos and destroys Station Square. Perfect Chaos destroys the Egg Carrier 2, and it is up to Super Sonic to bring down Chaos, who sees the Chao are alive and he and Tikal return to the past. The world is saved, and Sonic is quickly off on another adventure.
