'''''Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut''''' is an enhanced port of the [[Sega Dreamcast]] game, ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', with many added features and updated graphics. It was first released in the US, Japan, and Europe for the [[GameCube]] and was later also released for the PC in Japan and Europe and also had a limited US release. Unfortunately, it didn't do quite as well with reviews as its Dreamcast predecessor did.

== Changes Between Dreamcast and GameCube Versions ==
+
'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''', known as just '''''Sonic Adventure DX''''' {{Japanese|ソニックアドベンチャー {{ruby|DX|デラックス}}}} in Japan, is an enhanced port of the [[Sega Dreamcast]] game, ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', with many added features and updated graphics. It was first released for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] in 2003, followed by a [[Windows PC]] port the following year.
−
===Main Game===
 
−
*Enhanced graphics: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy were re-created with higher polygon counts, resulting in smoother models. For some reason, Big and Gamma were not recreated. Though, Big's hands were given a higher polygon count. Shader technology was also implemented for effects like rippling water (shader effects are not present in the PC version, however). The PC version has the option to remove some smaller objects or effects from stages (like the fire hydrants in Speed Highyway's At Dawn segment) to improve performance.
 
−
*The train used to transport from [[Station Square]] to [[Mystic Ruins]] is now blue instead of red as in the Dreamcast version.
 
−
*The game runs at 60 frames per second. Unfortunately, this is not consistent the whole game as at times it will frequently skip frames, usually in an uneven pattern (causing noticeable choppiness), even in places where few objects are displayed, and/or where the Dreamcast version didn't slow down (however, some effects that caused slowdown before do not affect the frame rate in the GameCube version). Cutscenes now run at a lower frame rate, but this seems to have been intended, for cinematic purposes. (The frame rate is more constant on the PC version depending on the graphics hardware used and detail settings.)
 
−
*Some sound effects, such as when collecting rings and emblems, are lower in pitch.
 
−
*A Camera option was added to the pause menu, allowing the user to select either the original Auto-Camera; the newly added Free Camera, which is usually closer to the character; or the player controlled camera which can be adjusted manually with the C-Stick.
 
−
*Changes (mostly minor) were made within the levels themselves in an effort to help solve some of the game's problems concerning collision detection. However, many glitches were not fixed, and some new ones were actually added.
 
−
*Glitches related to inconsistencies in the port (for example, some windows still reflect the original Dreamcast graphics).
 
−
*The Internet connection feature was removed. Some of the downloadable content from the Dreamcast version was included with the GameCube port.
 
−
*A new mission mode is available, which includes 60 missions to complete throughout the adventure fields and action stages. It's similar to the Mission Mode found in ''[[Sonic Jam]]'''s three-dimensional [[Sonic World]].
 
−
*Metal Sonic becomes a playable character in Trial mode, as a reward for collecting all the Emblems.
 
−
*[[Cream the Rabbit]] makes several cameo appearances during the main game and Mission Mode to guide the player: for example, when finding the "Ice Stone" after [[Casinopolis]] Action Stage and when [[E-102]] "Gamma" first goes to Station Square.
 
−
*A "mini-game" collection of the 12 Sonic-related Game Gear games was added. (see below)
 
−
*The ability to skip cutscenes by pushing {{Start}} was added.
 
−
*Map option available by pausing the game in Adventure Fields.
 
−
*Some voice effects were changed like when [[Tails]] begins to fly or when [[Amy]] swings her hammer.
 
−
*The ability to have a clear pause screen by holding {{X}} and {{Y}} was removed.
 
  
−
===Chao Garden===
+
==Gameplay==
−
*The Black Market from ''[[Sonic Adventure 2: Battle]]'' has been added to the Station Square [[Chao Garden]].
+
''Sonic Adventure DX'' follows in the footsteps of ''[[Sonic Adventure 2: Battle]]'', a GameCube conversion of ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'', released in the tail-end of 2001, taking a Dreamcast game (in this case 1999 releases (i.e. the Western and ''International'' versions)) of ''Sonic Adventure'' and attempting to enhance the game for the more capable GameCube hardware.
−
*The game uses ''Sonic Adventure 2: Battle'''s advanced Chao raising system (it has on screen stats, petting, whistling). However, the Chao Doctor, Chao Kindergarten, and the Chao Karate minigame do not appear.
 
−
*Chao allegiances can be changed between Hero, Neutral, and Dark. However, players have to use Chao fruits to do so. (Specific characters do not have an alignment, nor do the Chao Gardens.)
 
−
*Flat colored, shiny, and jewel Chao can be purchased, as well as special fruit. Seeds to plant in the Gardens do not exist, however.
 
−
*The Chao Transporter allows manual Chao naming, as well as ''Sonic Adventure 2'''s "Goodbye" feature.
 
−
*Chao can be seamlessly transported between ''Sonic Adventure 2: Battle'' and ''Sonic Adventure: DX''.
 
−
*The Chao Stadium uses Sonic Adventure 2's music and GUI.
 
−
*The [[Chao Adventure]] VMU minigame was removed and instead replaced with a similar GBA connection feature (see below).
 
−
*You can also transfer one Chao from this game to ''[[Sonic Advance]]'', ''[[Sonic Advance 2]]'', and ''[[Sonic Pinball Party]]'' with the GCN-GBA Link Cable.
 
−
*A downloadable ''[[Tiny Chao Garden]]'' GBA minigame is available.
 
  
−
== Included Game Gear Games ==
+
Unlike ''Sonic Adventure 2: Battle'', however, the changes in ''DX'' are far more significant, resulting in a graphical overhaul across most areas of the game, a new "mission mode", an enhanced Chao Garden and the inclusion of 12 unlockable [[Sega Game Gear]] titles. It pulls a lot of inspiration from ''Sonic Adventure 2'', while attempting to fix some of the multitude of problems with the original release, and is generally considered by Sega and Sonic Team to be the definitive version of the game, being the basis for all conversions going forward.
−
Several Game Gear games are included as unlockables. This also marks the first time ''[[Sonic Drift]]'' and ''[[Tails' Skypatrol]]'' were released in the US and Europe.
 
−
*''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''
 
−
*''[[Sonic Drift]]''
 
−
*''[[Sonic Chaos]]''
 
−
*''[[Sonic Spinball (8-bit)|Sonic Spinball]]''
 
−
*''[[Sonic Labyrinth]]''
 
−
*''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit)|Sonic The Hedgehog 2]]''
 
−
*''[[Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (8-bit)|Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine]]''
 
−
*''[[Sonic Triple Trouble]]''
 
−
*''[[Sonic Drift 2]]''
 
−
*''[[Tails' Skypatrol]]''
 
−
*''[[Sonic Blast]]''
 
−
*''[[Tails Adventures]]''
 
  
−
==Manuals==
+
Much of the game has been remodelled or re-textured, with the main characters being among the assets to be re-created with higher polygon counts. But while ''DX'' may improve on some 3D geometry, much of the game is untouched and some areas, such as the in-game lighting model and many of the texture choices, are often considered to have been downgraded. In many parts of the game, particulary areas in an around [[Station Square]], these texture changes lead to a very different looking world as seen in the original Dreamcast release.

''Sonic Adventure DX'' being the better version of the game, as is its design, remains a contentious issue among fans.

*[[Sonic Adventure DX (PC) JP Manual]]
+
The Mission mode is a new mode that presents various challenges to the player. When a character's story has been cleared, that character than then be used in this mode. To start a mission, the player must find mission cards located all around the [[Adventure Field]]s and interact with one, displaying a hint. It is up to the player to figure out the mission's location based on its hint, which can be inside an Adventure Field or an [[Action Stage]], then complete the mission's objective, such as collecting certain items or by bringing the Burger Shop statue to a specific location. Multiple missions can be active at any given point.
 +
 
 +
There are a total of 60 missions in the game, and all of them are character-specific, encouraging the player to clear every character's story and explore the Adventure Fields with different characters. At any time, the player can track their mission progress via the pause menu. When all of the missions have been cleared, they can all be replayed at the player's leisure.
 +
 
 +
===Mini Game Collection===
 +
The Mini Game Collection, accessible from the main menu, houses all 12 Game Gear ''Sonic'' games as unlockables awarded after collecting 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 110, 120 and 130 [[Emblem]]s and completing 20, 40 and 60 missions. This also marks the first time ''[[Sonic Drift]]'' and ''[[Tails' Skypatrol]]'' were officially released in North America and Europe. Each game is unlocked in the following order:
 +
 
 +
{{multicol|
 +
#''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''
 +
#''[[Sonic Drift]]''
 +
#''[[Sonic Chaos]]''

==Also Released On==
+
Multiplayer support is also available for all Game Gear games and can be enabled by pressing {{Start}} on a second controller. This will reset the current game and display two separate gameplay sessions. For games that supported the [[sega:Gear-to-Gear Cable|Gear-to-Gear Cable]] for multiplayer, this can be used to link up the two game windows for multiplayer.

===Metal Sonic===
−
Executive Supervisor: [[Isao Okawa]]<br>
+
When all 130 [[Emblem]]s have been collected, [[Metal Sonic]] will be unlocked as a playable character for use in Trial mode. Here, Metal Sonic simply serves as a skin swap for Sonic, as he can access every Action Stage normally visited by Sonic and has all of the same abilities. No Emblems are awarded for clearing Action Stages as Metal Sonic, but progress is still tracked.

    Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, known as just Sonic Adventure DX (Japanese: ソニックアドベンチャー DXデラックス) in Japan, is an enhanced port of the Sega Dreamcast game, Sonic Adventure, with many added features and updated graphics. It was first released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2003, followed by a Windows PC port the following year.

    Gameplay

    Sonic Adventure DX follows in the footsteps of Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, a GameCube conversion of Sonic Adventure 2, released in the tail-end of 2001, taking a Dreamcast game (in this case 1999 releases (i.e. the Western and International versions)) of Sonic Adventure and attempting to enhance the game for the more capable GameCube hardware.

    Unlike Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, however, the changes in DX are far more significant, resulting in a graphical overhaul across most areas of the game, a new "mission mode", an enhanced Chao Garden and the inclusion of 12 unlockable Sega Game Gear titles. It pulls a lot of inspiration from Sonic Adventure 2, while attempting to fix some of the multitude of problems with the original release, and is generally considered by Sega and Sonic Team to be the definitive version of the game, being the basis for all conversions going forward.

    Much of the game has been remodelled or re-textured, with the main characters being among the assets to be re-created with higher polygon counts. But while DX may improve on some 3D geometry, much of the game is untouched and some areas, such as the in-game lighting model and many of the texture choices, are often considered to have been downgraded. In many parts of the game, particulary areas in an around Station Square, these texture changes lead to a very different looking world as seen in the original Dreamcast release.

    Sonic Adventure DX being the better version of the game, as is its design, remains a contentious issue among fans.

    Mission mode

    Sonic Retro emblem.svg Main article: Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut/Missions

    The Mission mode is a new mode that presents various challenges to the player. When a character's story has been cleared, that character than then be used in this mode. To start a mission, the player must find mission cards located all around the Adventure Fields and interact with one, displaying a hint. It is up to the player to figure out the mission's location based on its hint, which can be inside an Adventure Field or an Action Stage, then complete the mission's objective, such as collecting certain items or by bringing the Burger Shop statue to a specific location. Multiple missions can be active at any given point.

    There are a total of 60 missions in the game, and all of them are character-specific, encouraging the player to clear every character's story and explore the Adventure Fields with different characters. At any time, the player can track their mission progress via the pause menu. When all of the missions have been cleared, they can all be replayed at the player's leisure.

    Mini Game Collection

    The Mini Game Collection, accessible from the main menu, houses all 12 Game Gear Sonic games as unlockables awarded after collecting 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 110, 120 and 130 Emblems and completing 20, 40 and 60 missions. This also marks the first time Sonic Drift and Tails' Skypatrol were officially released in North America and Europe. Each game is unlocked in the following order:

    Multiplayer support is also available for all Game Gear games and can be enabled by pressing Start on a second controller. This will reset the current game and display two separate gameplay sessions. For games that supported the Gear-to-Gear Cable for multiplayer, this can be used to link up the two game windows for multiplayer.

    Metal Sonic

    When all 130 Emblems have been collected, Metal Sonic will be unlocked as a playable character for use in Trial mode. Here, Metal Sonic simply serves as a skin swap for Sonic, as he can access every Action Stage normally visited by Sonic and has all of the same abilities. No Emblems are awarded for clearing Action Stages as Metal Sonic, but progress is still tracked.
