Sonic Adventure 2: Battle is an upgraded port of the Sega Dreamcast's Sonic Adventure 2, featuring new multiplayer options, like the addition of new charactistics to the additional multiplayer characters that were in the available unlockable in the original. The multiplayer characters that were unlockable in the other game are now playable from the start, and other new bells and whistles were added.

This game also changed a large portion of raising Chao, the A-life form available in both Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. Unlike the Dreamcast version, where a VMU was required to view a Chao's statistics, that information can now be viewed from within the game. The player can also transfer one Chao from Sonic Adventure 2: Battle to Sonic Advance, Sonic Advance 2, and Sonic Pinball Party with a GCN-GBA Link Cable. A Tiny Chao Garden minigame can be downloaded from the game to a GBA. This version also included Chao Karate, a fighting-style game using a Chao's stats with little influence from the player.

In both the Dreamcast and Gamecube versions, collecting all 180 emblems unlocks a 3D version of Green Hill Zone from Sonic 1. This level stays true to the original Sonic 1 level with its original music and same enemies, but it does twist and turn along the third axis, unlike its predecessor.

Ironically, this version of the game did not get as good reviews as its Dreamcast predecessor.
