The Trial's textures can be found in the scene where Sonic & Shadow turn super. Of note is that these textures feature red soles, as opposed to the gray soles seen in The Trial and early screenshots. Present in all of Sonic's cutscene texture files (E#TEXTURE.PRS) are textures for the shoes, the original Light Speed shoe upgrade, and a number of blank files. All three of these were fixed in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, but all of the game's artwork still depicted him in his classic shoes prior to the 2012 Port.įamously, Sonic Adventure 2: The Trial uses his classic shoes.

The Hero Story intro has Sonic wearing his classic shoes until he jumps onto the wing, the shuttle launch scene in the Dark Story still shows them (likely due to it being a prerendered cinematic), and one of the screenshots in the credits shows his classic shoes. It's well known at this point that Sonic's shoes were changed to Soap Shoes late in development ( footage of a "Focus Test" version indicates it made it to around January 2001), however the majority of SA2 was done at that point, so there's a bunch of leftovers.

It was re-released for the GameCube as Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. There are three types of levels: Sonic/Shadow stages, which are similar to Sonic's stages in the first game, Tails/Eggman stages, in which you platform and shoot everything in sight, and Knuckles/Rouge levels, where you hunt for three treasures.

Sonic Adventure 2 is the sequel to Sonic Adventure, as well as the last Sonic game for a Sega console.
