Employee ID Card

The Employee ID Card is an object that appears in Sonic the Hedgehog's storyline in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut. It is used to unlock the entrance to Speed Highway in the Station Square Adventure Field.

Description
The Employee ID Card is a white rectangular identification document, with written text and red outlines on it, for employees of a unspecified business or shop.

The Employee ID Card appears exclusively in Sonic's storyline, where it can be found on the triangle-shaped patch of grass in front of the hotel after completing Twinkle Park.

The Employee ID Card is to be taken by the player to the steel gate to the left of the Twinkle Park lift in the Station Square Adventure Field. Once the player stands before the steel gate while holding the Employee ID Card, the gate will automatically open, granting the player access to Speed Highway.

Unlike conventional items in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, like Rings or Emerald Shards, the Employee ID Card does not disappear from the gameplay field and enter the player's in-game inventory once the Sonic touches them. Instead, the player has to make Sonic manually pick up the Employee ID Card through the game controls, and have Sonic carry it by hand during gameplay until it is released. While carrying the Employee ID Card, Sonic's speed is lowered and his unique actions cannot be performed, such as his Spin Dash.
