Super Sonic's Story:
its pretty much just the ending to the game with one boss fight lol
but the boss fight is good in the first half, if a bit easy. theres an undeniable hype to seeing sonic transform into super sonic and speed across the water to hit a water monsters brain while crush 40 plays
and then the second phase ruins it by removing crush 40 and spamming you with lasers, making the fight go from easy to... not hard, but really annoying. then thats it, alls well that ends well (aside from the millions dead from chaos's rampage)
Final Thoughts:
sonic adventure is imo still a pretty great game, just with a lot of baggage. the camera may not be great, the chao garden may be better in 2, half the characters might not be good, but sonic, tails and gamma really do make the game something great. sure big hurts the game quite a bit, sure knuckles is mid, sure amy is... nothing, and sure the game is jank. the bosses for the most part kinda suck... but what's good in this game truly does make up for it. i'd say this game is greater than the sum of its parts, and-besides big- this game aged extremely well. i wish we could get another sonic game like this, not necessarily a remake (though this game would benefit from it if they keep sonics physics and do a total rework of big) but i just wish we could get something new that understands what made this game so special, what made it work so well and realize its true potential. there arent enough sonic games out there that just let you play as other characters with their own unique playstyle and objectives
but it is what it is.
