Sonic AdventureEdit

SonicEdit

In his first stage of the game, Sonic races across the picturesque beaches of Emerald Coast, searching for Tails, who has crashed his prototype plane somewhere in the area. Despite the expected serenity of the gorgeous beaches, it is populated by a number of Eggman's destructive badniks, as well as a mad Orca, which will hurt you if you touch it The presence of hostile robots seems to have forced beach-goers to temporarily vacate the coast, leaving Sonic on his own impromptu race course to dash through.

BigEdit

Big the Cat has entered this gorgeous locale to once again fish for Froggy. Due to the stage being located literally right next to a vast expanse of ocean, Big has many other fish to distract himself with catching. If Big is equipped with the Life Belt, he may just discover a secret area under a rock, with even more fish for him to catch. The part of Emerald Coast that Big fishes in is located in Sonic's "Azure Blue World" section of the stage, right after the whale chase. In the end, he finds Froggy, only to be stolen by E-102 Gamma. This is his third stage.

E-102 GammaEdit

E-102 Gamma has entered Emerald Coast (Naturally, against the wishes of the hotel management) to find and capture Froggy for his master, Dr. Eggman. Though he only travels through a small section of the first part of the stage (this being due to a lack of agility and speed that hampers him from traveling to more of the sections Sonic explored), there is a surprisingly large number of Badniks for Gamma to use as target practice while he searches.

Sonic ShuffleEdit

TriviaEdit

• The music in this stage bears some resemblance to the music in Spring Stadium Zone in Sonic 3D Blast (Genesis) and could be a remix of it.
• In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Sonic's version of Wave Ocean, a level almost identical to Emerald Coast, has a segment in which the player deals with an Orca that smashes through a bridge, similar to the Orca that chases Sonic in Emerald Coast.
• There's a real life beach that also has the name of "Emerald Coast" in Destin, Florida. With it's hotels lining the coast it bears striking resemblance to the one seen in Sonic Adventure.
• Tails, Knuckles, and, Amy can all be playable in Emerald Coast Act 1 using glitches and exploits in the adventure field. However, none of these characters will be playable once the player reaches Act 2. This ability was removed in the Xbox Live and PSN versions of the game.
• Emerald Coast also appears in Sonic X's Episode 9.
• Emerald Coast is also the first stage you play in Sonic Shuffle.
• Either through a glitch or debug mode, all characters can access the first part of Sonic's level, but if they try to enter the tunnel to the second half of the stage, they will fall and die.
• Emerald Coast is playable in the 3DS version of Sonic Generations.
• Big has special music that plays in his level that isn't heard in Gamma's or Sonic's level.
• Sonic was first chased by the Orca. Since then, Sonic has been chased by many objects in some of the main 3D Sonic games.
• Big loses Froggy to Gamma from his side of the story, but when playing Gamma's story, Big is nowhere to be seen.
