Emerald Coast

Emerald Coast is the first zone in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut. It is playable by E-102 Gamma, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Big the Cat. It is also a board in Sonic Shuffle.

Sonic
Sonic goes to Emerald Coast to find Tails who has crashed his prototype plane. Sonic goes through both the beginning and second part of the stage.

Big
As Big the Cat, you are there to fish for Froggy again. This is the third stage in Big's story. He goes through a seperate Third part exclusive to his story.

E-102 Gamma
As E-102 Gamma you are there to capture Froggy. E-102 goes through only the First part.

Sonic Shuffle
This world exists for lovers of the sun, but Void's magic is causing the tropical paradise to experience a rather unseasonal ice age. Note that you can only move underwater for 5 turns: fail to cross a bubble square within the limit and you'll be booted back to the surface. Sea turtles act as stepping stones, but can't be crossed when submerged. Toward the end of the stage, the wooden ship in the lower portion of the arena takes to the sky and flies away, eliminating a valuable shortcut. Land on the Quest square and you're given 8 turns to return a beached dolphin to the sea. Complete the stage to initiate the Sonic Surfing minigame. If the player was first, the next cutscene is shown and you enter the next board: the Fire Bird.
