Radical Highway

Radical Highway is Shadow's first stage on Dark Story in Sonic Adventure 2. Shadow is surrounded by the military and police after stealing the Chaos Emerald from the federal reserve bank. But that doesn't bother him. Glide down the spans of the bridge and race through the highway at night.

Shadow has upset G.U.N., and they've set their entire military force upon him as he escapes with a Chaos Emerald. 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. This level is loaded with enemy bots begging to be smashed, as well as a few lightning fast (and dangerous) bomber jets.

It's a skaters dream come true, as Shadow can indeed grind down the huge suspension cables of the bridge. Performing tricks perfectly will get you far in this level, as they can allow you to cover great distances and skip large sections. Geographically, this level is close to Sonic's City Escape stage, and Tails' Mission Street stage.

Trivia

 * Radical Highway (or somewhere similar) is where most of the opening cut-scene took place in Sonic Adventure 2. If so, then it is the only time Sonic is on Radical Highway (without hacks).
 * Radical Highway is filled with snow and used in the Dream Snowboard Cross event in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games.
 * A remixed version of the Radical Highway theme appears in the 2P battle mode of Shadow the Hedgehog.
