When Sonic Adventure was released on the Dreamcast, Sega regularly uploaded content onto the in-game site that would unlock already programmed, yet hidden, data. AT&T and Official Dreamcast Magazine teamed up to release three time attack contests. One involved blazing through Speed Highway as Sonic, the next involving Knuckles collecting treasures in the Mystic Ruins and the final one involving Tails surfing through ten specialy marked gates in Sand Hill. This was available only to the US. Prizes were awarded to the quickest scores. A total of fifteen winners would be awarded 1-Year long subscriptions to Official Dreamcast Magazine, nineteen winners would be awarded a Dreamcast game, and five would receive an AT&T Premium Package for a whole year free. It is likely the grand prize received all three. This contest ran from October 29, 1999 to November 19, 1999. This video focuses on Sonic going through Speed Highway. No, I'm not looking to go at any record speed. I just wanted to show all of the changes made to the stage. :P Since all of the downloadable features and sites are inaccessible, I figured it'd be nice to rummage through all of my VMUs that had the DLC stored away on them to show those who missed out on said events. Enjoy. :)
