The Voice of Sonic 

Sonic Adventure is a handheld LCD game released by Tiger Electronics as a tie-in to the Sega Dreamcast game also called Sonic Adventure. The game is known for it's rarity and is a sought after item for Sonic collectors.

Description
The game is a part of Tiger's "Arcade Games" series. Each had a tabletop arcade style design, optional screw-on joystick, 4 buttons "A", "B", "C", and "D". It also came with a "Reset", "On/Off", "Pause/Start" and "Sound" button. Unlike most Tiger games, this model has a pixel based LCD display similar to their previous 99x series of games but with a lower resolution. The screen casing is blue with decals featuring Sonic Adventure artwork of Doctor Eggman and Sonic the Hedgehog. The controller casing is black with yellow and red buttons. The 4 double A batteries go under the case.

Gameplay
The game features 7 levels with the same names as their the Dreamcast counterpart, albiet shorter and more linnear. Each level ends in a boss fight. The game progresses as follows:


 * Emerald Coast
 * Windy Valley
 * Ice Cap
 * Speed Highway
 * Red Mountain
 * Sky Deck
 * Final Egg

Bosses in the game include Chaos 0, Egg Hornet, among others, the game ends after defeating the Egg Viper at the end of the Final Egg stage.

As can be expected from a handheld version, many events from the Dreamcast version of the game are missing, such as the snowboard event in the Icecap stage, and many are 100% scripted such as touching spring pads. The game also has no music and a limited number of sound effects.

Codes
The game also features several codes that can be entered on the name screen, these are usually given out after finishing the game or boss rush mode, but they're not hard to guess due to the fact they're extremely simple, and the name input only accepts 4 characters, the codes are,

"supe" for invincibility "rings" for full rings "life" to start with extra lives "boss" for a boss rush mode

Trivia

 * One stock image of Sonic shows him having flesh colored eyelids, which he doesn't have in the original image.

Purpose
The purpose of the 12 Questions series is to promote Sonic News Network in order to get more traffic to the site and to get new users. The interview series is also here to promote the interviewee so their work can be recognized and supported.

Interviewee
The Interviewee should be a notable person in the Sonic community or someone who has worked on something Sonic-related. It can range from a penciler from Archie Comics to a well-known Sonic fanartist. For now, do not aim to high to get someone, Such as Yuji Naka or Roger Craig Smith. Find people who have a relatively large following and you can speak directly too (not through an agent or agency). Contact potential interviewees through email, introduce them to what SNN is, invite them to an interview, and say they will have an opportunity to promote themselves and share how people can directly support them.

Where
Interviews should be done through email or a chat room such a Google Hangouts. For now, email is the preferred method as it gives more time to be prepared.

When
Interviews should be complete before a new interview is posted. We should always have a completed interview ready to be posted.

Questions

 * The first questions should be focused on basic information on the interviewee. Let the audience get to know the interviewee. How long have they worked in their profession? What led them to do what they do? What is their first memory of Sonic?
 * There should be at least 3 or 4 questions that incorporate SNN. This can be from an image, gallery, page, transcript, forum, or blog post. This is very important to incorporate as it will entice the viewers to browse SNN. For example, if you were interviewing Ian Flynn, you could say "Sonic News Network has categorized all of your creations in the Archie Sonic universe. Out of the over 300 character, which one did you enjoy creating the most?". If you are interviewing an artist, you could say "Recently, SNN had a forum about character design. Which Sonic character has the best Design?".
 * Other questions can include current projects the interviewee is working on, what the interviewee think about current Sonic news, ext. Learn about your interviewee before creating questions. Be creative with your questions and don't be afraid to be funny. The interviewer and interviewee should both feel comfortable.
 * The last question should always be something to promote the interviewee, one of the projects they are working on, or give them a chance to share an avenue to support them.

Remember to always thank the interviewee for the interview and keep them updated on when it will be posted.

Process

 * 1) Find a candidate to interview
