Sonic Adventure 3 (Game Idea)

Update 2/4/13: This is a drastic choice, but I've decided to completely restart the storyline. I've lost the work I've done for the game and I wasn't sure for the longest time how to continue the story without the plothole getting in the way, which was the reason I stopped working on this in the first place. So a brand new story that won't be too different from what I originally had in mind that should be better in every way imaginable seemed like the viable choice. =D Look forward to updates in the future. But for now, read the new plot overviews I've left for all six characters. ;)

Sonic Adventure 3

Series	Sonic The Hedgehog
Systems	Xbox 360, PS3, Wii
Genre	Platformer

Sonic Adventure 3 is a fan-made video game by me, RidersDX, that's meant to be an idea of what a true 3rd installment of the Adventure series should be like. But this is not real of course, so don't get your hopes up. More then just be a game with Adventure elements, it also expands on it with new ideas both from recent Sonic games and fan-created ideas. Plus, an epic story, that brings together many former foes and friends to join Sonic in defeating Dr. Eggman one more time.

Basics

Sonic Adventure 3 may take place after Adventure 2, but it also takes place after all the events of Heroes, Shadow, 06, Unleashed, Colors, and Generations. Basically, all the main Sonic games, plus the Rush and Rivals series. There are six stories. Five of them are familiar characters, Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow, Blaze, and Silver. The sixth one is a new character named Fuse, who's part of Dr. Eggman's newest plan. Each story does have an amigo character that tags along with them you can play as too, similar to Sonic 06's amigo system. But the characters will play similar to the characters of the main story, so the flow wouldn't be too disrupted. Sonic's amigo is Tails, Knuckles' is Rouge, Shadow's is Omega, Blaze's is Cream, Silver's is Amy, and Fuse's is Dr. Eggman.

There are many stages all six of the storylines will get to explore through. All six stories also have an exclusive final level that takes place in an environment only they get to visit. Each stage is divided into two acts, where one of the acts can possibly be played by the amigo. Of course, the majority of the acts will be played by the main character of the storyline.

Gameplay

All characters have two special moves that they can activate once they gain a power-up. Some of these powers will act like the Wisp powers in Colors, meaning they will be necessary to get through the level. But other times, they'll be unnecessary but can help your performance in a level. Also, all characters can perform tricks once launched off a trick ramp, using basically all buttons possible on the controller. Similar to the Rush trick system in a way.

Sonic

Sonic's gameplay will be coming from his gameplay in the recent Unleashed and Colors titles. His levels will definitely have their mix of speed and platforming in them.

Xbox 360 Controls
Homing Attack	A + A
Boost	X
Jump Stomp	A + B
Drift	B + Left/Right
Roll	Y
Quick Step	LB/Rb
Blue Laser	LT
Blue Tornado	RT

Controls for other two systems will come at a later time.

There's no more double jump in this game, but that's because now when you homing attack with no enemies around, you jump dash like you could in past Sonic games. Sonic's jump alone will be quite high though, so there would still be some precision platforming.

Boosting power won't just be given to you like it was in Unleashed, it'll be like Colors where you must gain a power-up to fill up the gauge.

Blue Laser is one of Sonic's two special moves. Once you collect the Blue Laser power up, you can speed through a level when it's unnecessary. But when it is necessary, you will cross large gaps in high speed style.

Blue Tornado is the other of Sonic's two special moves. With it, you can make enemies go bye bye as they all get swifted away by the wind. But also, you can also use it near polls to climb up them and then get launched high in the air, of far ahead.

Tails

Tails' gameplay won't be exactly like his Adventure gameplay, in an effort to make him more similar to Sonic's gameplay. Tails' gameplay does go from 2D to 3D just like Sonic. But Tails' move set makes for quite the differences between his and Sonic's gameplay. Flying becomes a major part of the gameplay, especially in the 3D sections, which feel much more like Tails' gameplay in the first Adventure.

Xbox 360 Controls
Fly	A + A
Tail Spin	X
Ring Bomb	B

Controls for other two systems will come later.

Flying will not be as powerful as it was in the first Adventure, in an effort to not

Sonic-Colours-Tails-art — Miles "Tails" Prower

make Tails' levels an easy breeze. But, it most certainly will not be as limited as it was in 06. It's on a nice line in the middle.

Ring Bomb does come from 06, but it takes much less time to throw bombs this time, it feels much more convenient this time around.

Tail Spin is a quicker attack, but it doesn't work very well on the strongest of enemies. Tail Spin can also be used to activate some switches.

Tails, being an amigo character, does not have two special moves.

Knuckles

There's alot of hate towards Knuckles' levels in the Adventure games, but there's also alot of love for them. So, here's the solution I came up with. Knuckles will have two different kinds of levels. One will be the original Adventure formula of finding three emerald pieces in a large area. That'll be one act of the stage. The other act will resemble the collecting missions of the Chaotix team in Sonic Heroes. So Knuckles will be doing some actual platforming there, but he's still hunting for something. Knuckles also DEFINITELY moves as fast as he did in the Adventure games, not like 06.

Xbox 360 Controls

Punch	X
Dig	B
Down Spiral	A + X
Goggles On/Off	Y
Climb	Jump/Glide into wall
Throw Meteor Rock	LB
Drop/Activate Bomb	RB
Fire Meteor	LT
Knuckle Smash	RT

Goggles On/Off is kind of a old feature some people might not remember. There were goggles you could put on

Rivals knuckles running — Knuckles the Echidna

in Sonic Adventure 2. Or maybe only Rouge could do that...not sure. Anyway, for Knuckles, when goggles are on, he can see things not seeable with normal eyesight. There's a limit on how long you can use them though, so use them as least as possible.

Throw Meteor Rock comes from Sonic Battle. This attack is best used of large enemies. Knuckles herds a giant rock at the enemy and causes massive damage. It's a slow attack though.

Drop/Activate Bomb also comes from Sonic Battle. This attack is best used in groups of enemies. One click to activate a bomb and those enemies are done.

Fire Meteor is one of Knuckles' two special moves. His attacks become more powerful and he also becomes engulfed in fire. This is used to go through fire walls when necessary.

Knuckle Smash is the second of Knuckles' two special moves. He punches the ground and destroys all enemies around him by causing a small earthquake.

Rouge

Rouge's gameplay will basically be pretty similar to Knuckles'. She has the two different types of acts too. She does has some differences that will make her gameplay distinct from Knuckles' though.

Xbox 360 Controls
Fly	A + A
Kick	X
Dig	B
Climb on wall	Flying into wall + Move
Tip Toe	Hold Y + Move

Rouge will not glide not Knuckles, she will fly much like Tails. So already, the gameplay will have

difference especially in the linear Chaotix collecting like acts.

Tip Toe was something I came up with thinking about Rouge's nature of being a sneaky treasure hunter. Rouge's acts may sometimes be sealth based. But you can used this tactic to sneak past hazards without losing your rings.

Being am amigo character, Rouge does not have two special moves.

Shadow

Shadow's gameplay will be borrowed directly from the Adventure series. He won't have any guns and vehicles, in an effort to really resemble the Adventure style. But Shadow does have quite a few moves added that make his gameplay, his gameplay really.

Xbox 360 Controls
Homing Attack	A + A
Summersalt	X
Spin Dash	Hold X + Release
Kick	B
Chaos Spear	A + B
Black Tornado	A + X
Light Dash	Y
Bounce Attack	A + RB
Wall Jump	Homing Attack Wall + A
Chaos Control	LT
Chaos Blast	RT

Black Tornado is of course taken from Heroes, and he'll be able to use it on both enemies and poles just like in

Heroes.

Shadow will be able to walk while Wall Jumping just like he could in Shadow The Hedgehog. But remember, he also can't walk on it forever like he couldn't in Shadow the Hedgehog.

Chaos Control is one of Shadow's two special moves. With this move, Shadow can freeze time. This move will become necessary when Shadow has to make moves that require just the right timing. But it also can be used to try to improve your score.

Chaos Blast is the other of Shadow's two special moves. It's pretty self explanatory, works exactly like it did in Shadow the Hedgehog. It's necessary when you have to break open walls that can't be broken with regular attacks.

Omega

Omega's gameplay will take alot from Heroes and 06, plus adding some elements to make him more similar to Shadow. Omega's speed will be as fast as he was in 06, but it'll take less time to reach that speed. But the main idea of Omega's gameplay won't be lost here, which is, ELIMINATE ALL EGGMAN ROBOTS!

Xbox 360 Controls
Hover	A + A
Punch	X
Lock On Attack	Hold B + Release

The punch attacks work exactly like they did in Heroes, it even has a nice finishing move at the end. Best used

on ground enemies.

The lock on attack will be as simple as it was in 06. It's best used on air enemies.

Being an amigo character, Omega does not have two special movies.

Blaze

Blaze's gameplay will definitely stand out from Sonic and Shadow's simply because, her entire gameplay is based completely off the Rush series. Yep, her gameplay is in complete 2.5D goodness. Really, if you've played Rush, you'll know what to expect here. Blaze does have added moves though that'll make her gameplay a bit different.

Xbox 360 Controls
Jump Spiral	A + A
Boost	X
Homing Attack	B
Light Dash	Y
Slide	RB
Fire Swirl	LB
Fire Blast	LT
Fire Rocket	RT

Jump Spiral comes from her 06 appearance. It'll definitely be used to make Blaze's gameplay filled with a little

bit more platforming.

Boosting here will not be fueled by tricks, but by power-ups just like Sonic.

Fire Swirl works alot like her spin attack did in 06, but there's no need to charge it. Just hold the button and move forward.

Fire Blast is one of the two special moves Blaze can use. She turns into a fire ball, and then blasts through a large section of the stage. It's needed to cross large gaps.

Fire Rocket is the other of Blaze's two special moves. It rocks just like the rocket wisp in Sonic Colors. Blaze will launch into the air, and then float down slowly, just like in Colors.

Cream

Not much has been done with Cream gameplay wise in the past. She's definitely not as slow as she appears to be, she almost reaches Blaze's speed. Her gameplay will be in complete 2.5D just like Blaze's will. Her levels have little puzzles in them though at the end before the goal ring. Besides that, Cream's gameplay kinda does match Tails' gameplay in the genesis days many ways.

Xbox 360 Controls
Fly	A + A
Cheese Attack	X
Specific Action	B

When I said this was similar to Tails' gameplay in the classic days, the flying is what I was referring to. Cream

can find many multiple paths through her strong flying ability.

Cheese Attack is pretty self explanatory, Cream commands Cheese to destroy enemies.

Specific Action can be things like activity switches, picking up objects, and more. Mainly used in the puzzle at the end of the act.

Being an amigo character, Cream does not have two special moves.

Silver

Silver's gameplay from 06 is what his gameplay is going to be mostly like in this game. His stage designs this time around will actually make it possible to not get hurt while destroying enemies and lose all those precious rings, an annoying problem in 06. Also, added moves will make Silver's gameplay have more platforming elements instead of making his gameplay completely a beat-em-up. Silver's speed has also been increased.

Xbox 360 Controls

Shoot Stun Bolts	X
Grab Stunned Enemies/Objects	LB/RB
Psycho Slam	A + X

Double Jump	A + A

Psycho Air	LT
Psycho Power	RT

Shoot Stun Bolts is a new feature I came up with. Silver shoots these little bolts at enemies to stun them so

File:SilvertheHedgehog.png

Silver the Hedgehog

they can be grabbed, instead of having to painfully get close to an enemy and attack it.

Double Jump is now implemented to make Silver's gameplay have more platforming elements. Sliding is for the same purpose too.

Psycho Air is one of Silver's two special powers. For a limited time, Silver can hover unlimited distances. This becomes necessary when Silver has to hover across large gaps.

Psycho Power is the other special power. Silver becomes invincible and he's able to grab enemies that aren't already stunned.

Amy

Amy's gameplay was relatively simple in Sonic Adventure and 06, and since she is an amigo character, it will here too. Her acts, like Cream, also do have a puzzle to solve at the end due to the simpleness of her gameplay. But of course, Amy's gameplay is in complete 3D.

Xbox 360 Controls
Double Jump	A + A
Hammer Attack	X
Specific Action	B

In this game, you will actually find out why Amy's hammer is so feared. It's much more powerful and now Amy

can really actually do decent combat in this game.

Specific Action is usually for the puzzles at the end. Either to activate switches, grab an object, etc.

Being an amigo character, Amy does not have two special attacks.

Fuse

Fuse has the element of electricity, so his move set is very electric based. He's about as fast as Shadow. His gameplay also transitions from 2D to 3D. There's some speed in his gameplay, but his gameplay is also very combat based making use of his powers.

Xbox 360 Controls
Double Jump	A + A
Fly	A + A + Hold A
Thunder Bolt	X
Thunder Grab	B
Light Dash	Y
Thunder Dash	LB
Thunder Spin	RB
Thunder Storm	LT
Thunder Cloud	RT

Fuse has the power to fly, so much of his gameplay is very air based.

Thunder Bolt acts like a sort of gun. You can lock onto enemies, and when released, thunder bolts will be shot at them. It's like the attack on the mechs in Sonic Adventure 2, but Fuse isn't a robot, I can tell you that. It can be used as you fly too.

Thunder Grab is very important in Fuse's gameplay. Sometimes, it's used to grab something in the air and try to swing from it, kinda like flying across the city as Spider-man. Other things can be grabbed too, like switches, and other functions.

Thunder Dash is a quick attack to use when you're standing in front of a line of enemies. Fuse dashes in a straight line destroying/damaging all enemies he comes in contact with.

Thunder Spin is a basic spin attack. You can hold the button and move around spinning into enemies around you.

Thunder Storm is one of two of Fuse's special moves. A thunder storm comes on the stage, and thunder

strikes all the enemies in the area, automatically destroying them.

Thunder Cloud is the other special move. A cloud is formed, and Fuse jumps onto it. Now, you can move anywhere in the air, maybe reaching paths unreachable before.

Dr. Eggman

Eggman's gameplay will be borrowed from his mech gameplay in Sonic Adventure 2. As far as we're concerned, there really is no difference between the two. Maybe movement will be much easier this time around.

Xbox 360 Controls
Hover	A + A
Shoot	X
Lock on Attack	Hold X + Release

Being an amigo character, Eggman does not have two special moves.

Story Outline

From ancient guardians to alien energy, Eggman has done it all. After escaping from his recent time travel adventures, Eggman stayed out of the open for a year, nowhere to be found, hard at work rethinking his strategy. Starting from square one once again, Eggman made a discovery that will bring Sonic and many of his friends into a wild adventure.
