Sand Hill (サンドヒル, Sando Hiru^?) is an Action Stage and Sub Game that appears in Sonic Adventure and its enhanced port Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut. The Action Stage is only playable in Tails' story.

Story

After getting blasted out of the sky at the end of the first Sky Chase by the Egg Carrier, Tails and Sonic were separated when the Tornado crashed. After having a flashback about the "good old days", Tails realizes he can't rely on Sonic forever and figures that he should try the Tornado II but it needs a Chaos Emerald to work. Tails happens to find a Chaos Emerald in the jungle section of the Mystic Ruins but it is swallowed by Big's best friend, Froggy. Tails gives chase, which winds him up in Sand Hill. After catching the frog and retrieving the Emerald, Tails is transported into the past by a ball of light. When he returned to the present, Tails used the Chaos Emerald to finish building the Tornado II.

Sub Game

In this Sub Game, only Sonic and Tails are playable. The player can receive two Emblems from this stage (like other Sub Games). The player get the emblems by receiving high scores. The second emblem is much harder than the first.

Trivia

• In Sonic Forces, Sand Hill is briefly mentioned when Sonic goes through Lost Valley, he compared the new desert-like Green Hill with Sand Hill, however, Sonic was never canonically seen in Sand Hill as he is only playable in this stage for the subgame.
  • Furthermore, in the Japanese version of the game, Sonic does not directly reference Sand Hill, saying that Green Hill looks more like "Sand Hell" instead.
