All the S@nics - the end

[Window Squeegee]

Really can't blame you for the savestate. After playing these on the Steam version, I WISH I had access to one to plop right before the final section. It's a special kind of sadism and laziness to put the main challenge of the mission right at the end of what is essentially a glorified two and a half minute cutscene. Even worse when the challenge is inherently unfair and practically impossible to get on your first few attempts at LEAST.

AND THEY PULLED THIS TWICE.

AND THEY PULLED THIS TWICE.

hey rowcwo are you ever gonna go back and do sonic spinball gamegear you have to do it 100% comletion all the songisss

[raocow]

I did do gamegear spinball you fool

[CrappyBlueLuigi]

this genuinely looks so cool what the hell

i can sorta tell it's inside the station square hotel but this is way more scrambled than the video embed thumbnails usually get, it looks like sonic's riding on the head of a dragon or something

[Grounder]

today sonic gives christopher thorndyke 100 rings to fuck off

[Paragraph]

Just realized that the running down the building segment is like a Sonic 06 mach speed part, but way better

[xnamkcor]

Is raocow purposefully choosing these thumbnails? They're great.

[Piesonscreations]

Sonic Adventure Mission Mode? More like Diddy Kong Racing.

[Blivsey]

Just realized that the running down the building segment is like a Sonic 06 mach speed part, but way better

Mostly because it's like twenty seconds long and nearly impossible to die

So raocow's actually been doing a surprisingly good job at finding the missions so far but there is one mission in the coming videos that I do want to pre-emptively offer a hint should he very-likely get stumped. Specifically, Mission 45: it's an exploration mission and, like all the others, it has a very obvious clue which essentially just outright tells you where it is: sort of! It does direct you to a specific and unique landmark which, if you know where it is, makes completing the mission a joke (like all of the other exploration missions) however, I imagine, most players never see this landmark while playing the game casually (or quickly) as it's hidden in a particularly-cool secret nook in one Sonic's stages. I actually found this secret area on my own while playing the stage normally (outside of mission) (I frequently use this to impress people at parties ) so I'm actually personally quite found of it but I imagine raocow won't even know where to start looking for this mission's objective, which is why I'm offering these few spoiler-tagged hints since I imagine using these would be more fair than just outright looking it up in a walkthrough. So:
Mission 45
Description:

Go to a place where the rings are laid in the shape of Sonic's face!

Hint 1 (This should be all you need; really the game should at least tell you what stage it's in):

It's in Final Egg.
Hint 2, if you've explored the area thoroughly and are still stumped:

You can get some incredible height from spindashing up steep inclines.
Hint 3, if you've re-explored the stage with the second hint in mind and still can't find it, it's:

near the end of Final Egg, in the room in which E102 Gamma destroys the Sonic doll, spindash up where the floor curves into the wall to reach a plateau, hanging from the ceiling, with the ring arrangement mentioned in the hint description.

[Blivsey]

The homing attack in SA1 honestly feels a little scary to do compared to SA2 and I can't quite quantify why. Maybe because you barely pop up at all when you hit a target

[Blivsey]

Today (yesterday) on sadx mission mode: raocow becomes a whoopee cushion

[Blivsey]

oh no triple post im gonna be burnt at the steak

I don't think we're actually done with Sonic Adventure. There's an (an, singular) "all emblems" reward, but I don't think rao's save has all the Chao race emblems

So someone needs to supply a save that fixes that

[Grounder]

it's a metal sonic skin for sonic that does nothing else at all

of all the things to show off (while rao will probably do it anyway) it should be on the bottom the list

[Crow]

sonic adventure the first has different chao races than adventure 2 also!!!

[raocow]

yeah well I briefly poked at that during vanilla adventure I think

Yup. I'm pretty sure in the original thesis rao said that he won't do reskins, only doing runs with other characters when there's a significant difference. At least in the advance games, they control different, so that counts....but this is literally just a reskin. I don't think it bears showing off, based on the rules.

Counterpoint: he showed off Amy in Advance 2

[Matt is me]

Fair point. There is precedent!
