Southern Island[1] (サザン島[2] Sazan-tō?) is a location that appears in Sonic Rush Adventure. It is a small island located in earth in the Sol Dimension and the birthplace and residence of Marine the Raccoon. Marine lives in Windmill Village[3] (風車村[4] Fūsha-mura?), a village in the center of the island.

Overview[]

SRA Southern Island

Southern Island, from Sonic Rush Adventure.

At the beginning of Sonic Rush Adventure, Marine tells Sonic and Tails that she has never been off the island and has always lived there.[5] It's also home to the Coconut Crew, a group of seven koalas who are Marine's friends. In the game, Southern Island acts like a regular menu screen, where the player uses Sonic to talk to the other characters to access certain game modes, like how Sonic talks to Setter in order to change the game's settings.

In the point-and-click map of Southern Island in Sonic Rush Adventure, many of the featured parts of the island are shown. These spots include:

  • Marine's House[1] (マリンの家[6] Marin no Ie?): Located in the Windmill Village. Marine, Blaze, Tails, and Setter can be found here. This is also where the player can play missions given by Marine, play Time Attack, or manage Wi-Fi settings.
  • Whale Point: Sonic comes here to train and it also serves as a tutorial where the player learns how to play the game.
  • Seagull Beach[7] (カモメ浜[4] Kamome-hama?): Sonic comes here to talk to Muzy, the wandering musician who opens the Sound Test. Players can unlock more music once they've completed certain missions.
  • Wave Cyclone: The dock where the waterbike, the Wave Cyclone, is anchored. The player can find Tabby, the first member of the Coconut Crew Sonic meets and Kylok there. Tabby gives missions for the player to do, and Kylok opens up a list of movies that are from the events of the game.
  • Ocean Tornado: The dock where the ship, the Ocean Tornado, is anchored. This is where the player can find Gardon, Blaze's royal guard, and Norman, a Viking polar bear who was trapped in a block of ice at Blizzard Peaks until Sonic rescued him. Gardon gives out missions for Blaze to do in order to get the Sol Emeralds, and Norman opens the Viking Cup, a Time/Score Attack for the vessels, including the Johnny's Races stages.
  • Aqua Blast: The dock where the hovercraft, the Aqua Blast, is anchored. The player can find Colonel there, who helps Sonic with knowledge about the places he's explored. He gives out missions and decorates Southern Island if paid a certain amount of rings.
  • Deep Typhoon: The dock where the submarine, the Deep Typhoon, is anchored. The player can find Daikun there, a member of the Coconut Crew who's always carrying around a hammer. He will decorate the island when certain missions are completed.
  • Magma Hurricane: This appears as a door on the volcano and only appears after the player has visited Deep Core once. It replays the whole story after Big Swell.
