Sonic Adventure 2 Glitches and Tricks 2½: It’s Not Over Yet

The whole process seems familiar. After part 1, I thought I had used up almost every trick available, never thinking that there would be enough tricks for a new collection. Naturally, a month later I came out with a sequel containing even more tricks, and after that I really did think I had put everything that was ever noteworthy to show in this game on video.

Then something I thought was strange, but should have known better, happened. I starting finding more and more discoveries in rapid succession. Flicker in and out of the walls in Egg Quarters. Find even more places to get from anywhere to anywhere else in Death Chamber. Find ways to get out of Aquatic Mine that actually work consistenly.

So I decided to make a third video. It’s just a bit shorter than the first installment, but due to the increased complexity of the things going on, I can fill up that much space with just 15 segments (the first two parts had 32 and 41 respectively), so I call it Glitches and Tricks “2½” rather than “3″. Toward the end of the planning process, I was shown a site (http://www.geocities.jp/neo_twilight2000/ , though it’s in Japanese) that managed to go a good way toward filling my quota.

This time around I’ve tried to explain the tricks on their section title cards, and additionally given them ratings in difficulty, impression (to an average viewer), and usefulness (to a competitive player).

Will there be a fourth installment? As with the previous two times, I’d have to say no…but it’s up to everyone, myself included, to prove me wrong.

    sorry to be a bother. But it’s not working. My assumption is that it ONLY works for dreamcast. Does it work for sa2b on gamecube?

    Select and deselect …
    Select and deselect Chao World, so that you’ll have been in a menu with 6 choices. Then go to any level where you’ve beaten hard mode, and select it by pressing and holding A+B simultaneously. You’ll see nothing but the black SA2 screen, but you can still hear sound when you move the cursor.

    Because you last selected Chao World, the game thinks there are 6 menu options, and because you’ve cleared hard mode they’re all accessible. Go to number 6 with D-Pad Right x5, release A, and press A again.

    It’s my estimate of how lasting an “impression” (hence the name) it leaves to a viewer who hasn’t seen or tried anything like that before.

    What I’m trying to say is, SM, is that the “No GC” symbol means that the glitch is already fixed in that version, just so you know.

    You mean you’re not going to take it from the section titles and their inclusion or exclusion of a “No GameCube” symbol?

    4:09 I DID THAT ONCE! So, I take it that all of these glitches are Dreamcast exclusive and fixed in the GameCube version?
