Radical Highway


 * If you are looking for the stage remake in Sonic Generations, look here.

Radical Highway is Shadow's first stage on Dark Story in Sonic Adventure 2. This level takes place in an area that resemble San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge (in the dead of night), which further enhances the "Central City" atmosphere.

Plot
Shadow is surrounded by the military and police after stealing the Chaos Emerald from the federal reserve bank. As he watches them, he has a flashback a running down a hallway on the ARK with Maria. Returning back to the present, Shadow promises Maria revenge against humans.

Stage Layout
Throughout the stage there are huge suspension cables of the bridge that Shadow can grind on. Performing tricks perfectly will get you far in this level, as they can allow you to cover great distances and skip large sections. This level has many enemy bots, as well as a few lightning fast (and dangerous) bomber jets.

Trivia

 * Radical Highway (or somewhere similar) is where the opening cut-scene took place in Sonic Adventure 2.
 * Radical Highway is filled with snow and used in the Dream Snowboard Cross event in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. Curiously, the NiGHTS cameos in the background were removed and replaced with a neon Chao head. This is probably to keep any non-Sonic or Mario characters out of the game.
 * A remixed version of the Radical Highway theme appears in the 2P battle mode of Shadow the Hedgehog.
 * Radical Highway is based off San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge along with other stages.
 * Big the Cat is seen on a blimp in this stage, only in the Dreamcast version.
 * NiGHTS' head can be seen on top of a building spinning.
 * Radical Highway's name is similar to Radical City, a course in Sonic R.
 * There are highway signs in this level saying Amigo in this level, also on a sign on the other side of it, it says "freedom ? miles". Most likely alluding to the dark story.
 * It will be a stage in Sonic Generations in the 3DS version of the game..
