Hi! My name is RattleMan. Thank you for downloading Sonic Adventure Secret
Guide: A Guide to Sonic Adventure! In here you will find some secrets that
nobody has found before.

THIS IS THE KEY FOR THE GLITCHES FOUND IN HERE:

Fun = This cheat is for fun purposes only.
UCL = Un-programmed character level - This is for glitches like Tails in
Emerald Coast
Weird = These are unexplained.
NTO = These weren't taken out of the final version.
---------------------------------
    A. Why did I make this?
---------------------------------
Because I felt that there is alot of replay value in Sonic Adventure. I decided
to write a guide to many fun secrets and other stuff.

       2. Game Information
---------------------------------
Game Information:

Title: Sonic Adventure
Company: Sega
Published By: Sega Team
ERSB Rating: Everyone
Genre: Action/Adventure
Console: Dreamcast
Cost: Around $30-$50
Availability: At Most Stores
This character has stared in: Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic &
Knuckles, Sonic Spinball, Sonic Crackers, Sonic CD, Sonic Labyrinth (there are
86, count em' 86 'including sa1' sonic related games and television shows. I
can't possibly list them all. )
Players: 1, 2 if you want to control Tails in Sonic's Adventure levels.

---------------------------------
       3. Storyline
---------------------------------
Sonic was first recognized on the Megadrive - AKA Sega Genesis - on his first
game, Sonic The Hedgehog. This little blue hedgehog met up with a two-tailed
fox named Miles Prower (most commonly known as Tails), in his second game Sonic
2. Then he and his 2 two tailed fox friend met up with an echidna (e-kid-na)
named Knuckles in his third game, Sonic 3. Later, he met up with a pink
hedgehog named Amy in Sonic CD on the Sega CD. Then they made it all the way to
Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast. Back in a new game rendered in 3D, the
characters look better than ever.

Now Dr. Robotnik, (Eggman as Sonic and his friends call him) is back again
(after being defeated many times before) with a Master plan to awaken a
sleeping beast called Chaos. Can Sonic foil his plans again?

* Caution! This part contains spoiler information. If you haven't beaten the
game yet, I recommend you don't read this. *

Chaos is a fearsome beast that broke out of the Master Emerald because the Chao
were being threatened. Eggman used Chaos to try and take over Station Square.
After Eggman gave Chaos 7 emeralds and Chaos became Perfect Chaos, chaos won't
listen to Eggman and he soon destroyed his new ship, the Egg Carrier 2. Tikal
is an ancient girl echidna of he past that helps Sonic. Her spirit rests inside
the little help balls. Tikal sealed Chaos in the Master Emerald because he
destroyed the world before Sonic's time. Tikal is trying to protect the Chao so
chaos wouldn't break out again, but... he did.

 5. THE SPECIAL SA 2 INFORMATION!
---------------------------------
Now, the moment you've all been waiting for, INFO ON SONIC ADVENTURE 2!!!!!
HOORAY!

Sonic is nearing his 10th anniversary, and SonicTeam plans to celebrate this
wonderful event. This is the 87th (eighty-seventh!!! WOW) in the large list of
sonic related games and TV. shows he has taken a vital role in.

Yuji Naka and SonicTeam plan to redefine the characters, the game play, and
EVEN THE DREAMCAST?!??!?!?  Originally scheduled for release in Spring of 2001,
it has been pushed back to Fall 2001 so they can MAKE SURE to make the game
EVERYTHING they want it to be. The graphics, for one BIG DIFFERENCE since SA1
is the following. The textures and graphics are WAY FARTHER AHEAD then anything
seen in ANY real-time game! WOW! Each level has been made to maximize the game
play and show the dreamcast's true capabilities. Clipping of sound has been
totally eliminated. NOPE! NO CLIPPING AT ALL! The new libraries of lighting and
special effects are in the works. The result of this should be an ABSOLUTE
VISUAL DREAM!

	But this is the bad part.... TAILS IS MISSING FROM THE GAME!!!! Boohoo aren't
we all just in tears right now? HEHEHEHE! The Dark Sonic will be a new vital
character (not selectable as far as I know) and is mentioned in the SA2
commercial by means of antonyms. You havta be there. Anyways, the Chao are back
and cuter then ever! They are !?!?!?!?!?! ROBOTS???? Heh, the chao are now
robots and they will tell you that they are not normal chao.  You will have to
find and reunite chao from ALL ACROSS THE WORLD! The basic rules with the chao
will be true in SA2 too. I've seen amazing pictures of it and it rocks.
Underwater will be planned out as well, as sonic looks for some AIR BUBBLES
(reference to old sonic games) just to stay underwater.

	No word on some Online play yet, but I am sure that SonicTeam will dish up
something special. I hope Sonic Adventure 2 will be the best Sonic game ever!
This ends the THE SPECIAL SA 2 INFORMATION section! Have fun with this info!
---------------------------------
       6. Secrets & Bugs
---------------------------------

< A. The Plug >
Cheat Type: NTO
I found out something cool in the Hot Shelter as Big. First, use the emergency
water valve to Drain the water. Swim around near the top of the water and
you'll find an opening, go in it. Swim to the top and go in another opening.
There is a hole and a computer-sign that says "WARNING! There is a plug in the
center. Be careful not to trip over it." You can open it! First, put your lure
near the plug, on the bottom of the floor and reel as if you were going to get
the plug. Then, if your lure gets stuck to the plug, reel and press left or
right on the analog stick. It drains the water! Then, go out of the plug room
and to the emergency drainage switch area. The water level is higher! Go
straight in the emergency room to find another opening. Bounce up the bumper to
another opening. Go in it. Walk around till you get to a room with a kiki (the
orange monkey), and there is another computer-sign that says, "WARNING! The
Water is covered with glass. FRAGILE! Please be careful!" Now, there are over
1500-g fish swimming under that glass. Stand on the side and fling your lure to
make the glass break. (This may take several tries) Now, I know that whole
thing is for something, but what? Could it have been part of the Hot Shelter
before? Is it a secret? ( Note: The is a point marker near the plug. Also note
that there are new fish in this area. Also note that there are rings, power
sneakers and a kiki. So, the programmers must have put that there before.)

< B. The Elevator >
Cheat Type: NTO
In The place where the Jet Booster for E-102 if you look around enough, there
is an elevator. I guess in the version before there wasn't a spring to bounce
you up.

< C. Tails in Goin' Down and At Dawn >
Cheat Type: UCL
In Speed Highway, get tails to where the helicopter usually takes off in
Sonic's Adventure. Then go to the marker. Fly straight to a road in mid-air and
land on it. Zoom up with the boosters and fly right to a building. Fly through
the building. If you got it, you should see a white thingy. Land in it. Then
walk around and suddenly, your at Goin' Down!
Restart the level to get the Robotnik race meter off. Then crash through the
glass and head towards At Dawn. ( Note: If you restart at At Dawn, you will
fall and die. )

< D. The Super Fishing Hole >
Cheat Type: Fun
In Emerald Coast as Big	(must have Life Belt), look around until you find a
help ball saying " There is a secret passage somewhere, go and find it. " Look 
at the nearby mountain that is almost completely under water. Look around for
an opening at the bottom and swim through it. When you surface, you will find a
fishing paradise. Have Fun!

---------------------------------
       7. Weird Things
---------------------------------
< A. The Mysterious Ring >
Cheat Type: Weird
First, take any character to the Egg Carrier's Chao Garden. Go to the top of
the rocket and jump down to the chairs. Jump over the chairs a few times then
go out to the sea as far as you can. On the bottom of the sea, you might see a
single ring, out there where you cant get it. Try and fish for it with Big and
you can get a lot of item boxes.

< B. The Weird Sound >
Cheat Type: Weird
First (after beating everyone's including Super Sonic's Adventure), go beat
Speed Highway with Tails. Then when you've beaten it and you come out where you
fought Chaos 0, Look onto the road. You should see two pillars. Fly over the
left one, and you should hear a totally weird sound.

< B-a. Confirmed Weird Sound >
Cheat Type: Weird
The Weird Sound has been confirmed!!!! You can go over the pillar with any
character. You know where the shop is that you come out of after getting the
Light Speed Shoes? Stand on the pillar  ( after beating speed highway ) and
watch as the gates on the shop door come down!!

< C. The Egg Carrier's Chao Garden's Unopenable door >
Cheat Type: Weird
If you go up to the top of the mountain in the Chao Garden aboard the Egg
Carrier, where the spinning satellite is, there is a door that can't be opened.
Does it have a secret purpose or is it just there for scenery?

< D. The Magical Grab >
Cheat Type: Weird
In Casinopolis as Sonic, get a few coins, then go to the Vault. Get a second
controller and put Tails on the button. Then have Sonic run up and hit the
button and then move a little bit away. The arms grab Sonic even though he
isn't on the button!


< E. Pass The Limits >
Cheat Type: WEIRD!!!!!
In the Egg Carrier's Chao Garden, I went on top of the rocket and Spin Dashed
off it as sonic. I landed in the light blue area of the area, the part where
you can't normally go. You can see the ring up close ( see The Mysterious Ring
) and if you try to go back onto the beach, you fall through the mountain to
your death. If you try as Tails, go up on the rocket and jump and try and fly
as far as you can out into the ocean. If the camera gives a sudden jolt, or you
see tails moving while he is flying, hurry and fly back to the ocean in the
little blue part. Land in it. Jump a little off the edge and if you did it
right, you should fall forever........... Press A,B,X,Y and Start together to
exit. IF you fall, you should see Tails falling and soon a big hole will come
and you will go up through it. When you are out of that hole, you will keep on
falling................

< F. Tails Falling Through Speed Highway >
Cheat Type: Weird
Do the Tails in Goin' Down and At Dawn bug but instead of landing in the white
thingy, fly straight. You will fall down endlessly until Robotnik wins, then
you will be sitting in Mid-Air!

< G. TAILS IN EMERALD COAST! >
Cheat Type: UCL
Finnaly, Tails gets to be in EMERALD COAST!!!!! First, go to the 2 sliding
glass doors next to the pool in the hotel. Then when the doors are open, run
into the corner of the right one. Keep on holding the stick and when you see
tails' shoe through the door, Fly up and hold that button. You will hopefully
go through the celing. Now stay there, because if you go out of the roof area
this code won't work. Now, fly to the emerald coast staying above the ROOF at
all times. If you make it, you will be in Emerald coast. Now since this wasn't
programmed, the title screen won't come up. Once you are in Emerald Coast, have
fun, although the second part (Windy and Ripply) is buggy and not complete. You
will fall through the floor and no matter what you do you will end up in
Station Square facing the pool. If anyone knows how to get past or perhaps
RESTORE Windy & Ripply, PLEASE email me!

If that way proves too hard, you can also Jump and try to fly in a corner where
the roof doesnt let you go through.

BEWARE IF YOU DIE ON THE FIRST PART OF EMERALD COAST, YOU WILL COME BACK BUT
THERE WILL BE ZERO VISIBILITY AS THERE IS A THICK BLUE FOG. EVEN IF YOU EXIT
AND RETURN TO STATION SQUARE IT WILL BE HAZY!!!!! WATCH OUT!

< H. TAILS IN NON-PLAYABLE TWINKLE PARK! >
Cheat Type: UCL
Go get the Circuit card and then go to the twinkle circuit. Don't go in there.
Go right where you think the doors will close on tails. Fly up, if you do it
right, the doors should bump tails up to above the area. Fly to Twinkle Park
from here. As before there is no title screen. There is not a starting point
for tails to stand on, either. Tails will fall endlessly. Quit the level. IF
ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO RESTORE TWINKLE PARK EMAIL ME!
---------------------------------
             8. Extras
---------------------------------

In "Extras" there is stuff that doesn't fit in any other section.

All the echidnas in Sonic adventure all have crooked tails...... Tikal doesn't.
Why?

During Super Sonic's Adventure, you can play any of the levels you can play on
Sonic's Adventure.

If you look in the grass on the left side of the entrance to Speed Highway (as
tails)
you can find a Card. That card allows other characters to go into Twinkle
Circuit.

If you insert your Sonic Adventure disc into your computer's CD-ROM drive, you
uncover many pictures from the game. Go to the D: drive (or whatever your
CD-ROM drive is) and click on extras.

If you make the characters stand, ( not moving ) you will hear the characters
say things like Tails in the train station, he says "Trains are Cool Too!"

If you connect a second controller to the Dreamcast when playing as Sonic, you
can play with tails on the second controller.

At the main menu of Sonic Adventure, press and hold Y, X, B, A, Left Trigger,
Right Trigger, Start, and left on the analog stick. You'll be taken to the
Dreamcast Main Menu.

They say if you get 130 emblems, SonicTeam has a special download for you. I
don't know if it does, I haven't got all 130 emblems.

When racing Twinkle Circuit with E-102 when you finish he says " Driving
Complete " ( similar to " Rescue Complete " heard when you destroy a E-100
series robot. )

Press the jump button right when it says goes in Twinkles circuit. It will give
you a speed boost.

Also, if anyone knows of any secrets not mentioned in any FAQ or guide
(including mine), please email me at rattleman123456@yahoo.ca  . Credit will be
given to those who submit codes.
---------------------------------
          9. Cool Things
---------------------------------

< A. Stop Traffic In Speed Highway: At Dawn >
Cheat Type: Fun
Use The " Tails In Goin' Down and At Dawn" cheat. Then go stop traffic! It's
kind of funny because once when I stopped traffic, the cop speeder couldn't get
me.

< B. The Magical Teleportation >
Cheat Type: Fun
Go to where to Burger shop statue is. Pick him up, take him into the burger
shop. place him against a blank wall and drop him. If he falls down beneath the
shop, run out quickly and watch him reappear!

< C. Tails in Mid-Air >
Cheat Type: Fun
Go to the Egg Carrier's Chao Garden through the E-G-G-M-A-N password passage as
tails. When you get there, turn right and fly to the big rock. Then when you
are on the rock try and fly out to the sea. Keep on trying to fly to the sea.
When you land, you are running in mid-air.

< D. The Hammer Swing >
Cheat Type: Fun
In the burger shop, (after completing Amy's adventure) use your Piko-Piko
Hammer to try and whack the employees. They duck when you swing it as if they
were going to be hit. Also, (thanks to Dr. Eggman,) you can use any character
to try and hit the people.

< E. I Will Survive..... >
Cheat Type: Fun
In At Dawn, doesn't the background music sound like the song "I Will Survive"
???

< F. Terrorist >
Cheat Type: Fun
With any character, get a kiki to throw a bomb at you. Then, try again pick up
the bomb. If you are quick, you will pick up the bomb and it wont go off. Throw
this bomb at the kikis by jumping and pressing the throw button. It is darn too
bad because with tall characters, it takes longer for you to pick them up.

< G. See-Through >
Cheat Type: Fun
In Casinopolis, go to the main room and run over the under-glass roulette table
while holding the right trigger. The camera will show the inside of the wall
and it looks like a real roulette table.

---------------------------------
    10. Sonic Adventure Hoaxes
---------------------------------

First of all, there are a lot of hoaxes on the Internet. Second of all, here
are the hoaxes that have been confirmed NOT TO WORK in Sonic Adventure.

You Can NOT become one of the 2 mecha robots.
You cannot become Dr. Robotnik, any of the E-100 series, (except E-102) the
bird, or any of the Chaos types.
You cannot be a mega or super of anyone else except "Super Sonic"
Finally, you cannot become anyone other than Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Big,
E-102 and Super Sonic.

---------------------------------
 11. Level Shortcuts & Emblems
---------------------------------

Where the Adventure Field emblems are:

STATION SQUARE

 Inside the Burger Shop
 Go into the train station. Go to the highest place possible (use first-person
free look mode) and you will find it
 High enough that only Tails can reach it in the alley where you got the Ice
Key (near Casinopolis)
 Use Tails' tailspin attack in the patches of green grass where you fought
Chaos 0

MYSTIC RUINS

On a cliff that is near where you found the Green Key (Tails' workshop), look
around in first person free look mode to find it
 Near a fallen tree on the way to Big's house (where Lost World entrance is, in
that part)
 Look for a tree right next to big's house and climb into it.
 In the air near floating island (fly with knuckles, it is your best hope)
All of you trying to get those Emblems? Here are some level shortcuts to help
you win.

SONIC'S SHORTCUTS:

Emerald Coast: At the beginning of the level, right before using the bumpers to
bounce to the springy walkway, start spin dashing and when you reach an
incline, jump and you should make it to the higher bridge.    After the part
after where you run through the watery part (with the water spiders) You run
down a walk and then go through a loop looking thingy (enclosed) then you jump
the water with a inclined speed bump, Then there is a speed booster that boosts
you up, straight up, do that jump and then hold right and hopefully, you will
land on the island to the right of you. Then walk to the SPRING, and bounce up.

Windy Valley: Try just JUMPING from one part to another instead of using the
regular walkway. At the end when that downward spiral where sonic is running
straight down, before that, JUMP OFF THE EDGE and land on the walkway below.

Casinopolis: Try and get the EXTRA TABLE on NiGHTS pinball.

Icecap: Use that SPINDASH often and close to the end, use the INCLINING BOOSTER
JUMP to get up high and then you can figure it out from there.

Twinkle Park: At the beginning of the level, kill the guy in the LIGHT BLUE
car. That one is the fastest. After finishing the race, you fall down into the
seat of a roller coaster car. Hold RIGHT on the analog stick all the way the
way to the end. When you JUMP out, you will turn right and will not fall down
the tube. Go OUT the way the car went IN and MOVE SLOWLY. You will fall and
land on a PLATFORM. Jump to the main part now. When you get to the part with
the pool, go to the main SPRINGS. Hold A while bouncing on them. If you did it
right, you should bounce higher. Now make a quick move to the platform that is
above you.

Speed Highway: Just run, take the RUN WALL on the first checkpoint walkway. Use
the SPRING on the side of the road at At Dawn.

Red Mountain: Here is one at the start of the level. When the ROCKET boosts you
up, hold RIGHT on the analog stick. You will probably land on another bumper.
Push the BUTTON ACTIVATED ROCKET and boost up. Hold the analog stick UP when
doing this and until you land. You will land on a small platform with a SPRING,
bounce up. When you get to the MAIN MOUNTAIN go along the REGULAR PATH. Count
how many yellow posts you go by. When you get to the FOURTH post, jump off the
ledge and then try and land on the UPCOMING PLATFORM beneath you. SPINDASH AND
JUMP throughout the LAVA PART to beat the time and win an emblem.

Sky Deck: After the second checkpoint, look to your RIGHT for a opportunity. At
the part where there is straight walkways, SPINDASH like there is no tomorrow.
Bomb the cannon and the who cares about TIKAL, SPINDASH even when the WINDS are
"blowing you off course". Destroy the LARGE CANNON by aiming a small rocket at
the LARGE CANNON. When you get in the CANNON, go up the lift. Then walk over
and SPINDASH to the part where the SLIDING PLATFORMS are. The SPINDASH FOWARD
to get to the last checkpoint before the ship TILTS. Bump up the SPRINGS and
walk along the BLACK path. When you get to the part where the TWO BLACK path
INTERSECT, JUMP down and LAND on the platform. Press the BUTTON and HIT the
capsule.

Lost World: Spin dash like there is no tomorrow. Near the end, Near one of
those tile-switching buttons, there is the BUTTON for the line of rings. Jump
to this LEDGE, CHARGE up into LIGHT SPEED and race across.

Final Egg: Not much to cheat about here, it is way to sneaky. When you exit the
place where you hit the button and go up and have to jump to platforms while
dodging hammers, after you go down the mini-elevator, after you hit the
checkpoint, JUMP off the edge. Fall down onto the ledge where the walking
elevator thingy is. BEST THING: AVOID getting HIT.

Conclusion for Sonic's Shortcuts: WOW there are a lot of these. There is no way
you will not win emblems on Sonic's Adventure.

TAILS' SHORTCUTS:

Fly, FLY, FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KNUCKLES' SHORTCUTS: Also to come in the next version!

AMY'S SHORTCUTS: This will also come in the next version!

       19. About The Author
---------------------------------

Hi ya people. I'm RattleMan, the one who wrote this thing! I live in Arizona, I
am 13 years old and I live in a beautiful house. I have been playing video
games since 1993. The game I most admire is Sonic Adventure. The games that
Sonic was in before on the Genesis were good, but wait till you play Sonic
Adventure! Seeing Sonic in such a wonderful game brought back very nice
memories. If there are any errors in this document, please email me. Your name
will go into the credits for telling me.

---------------------------------
            20. ASCII Art
---------------------------------

<A. What is ASCII Art?>

ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A
explanation of what ASCII Art is, is "arranging symbols, letters and numbers to
create block letters, for example"
For simpletons, ASCII art is putting different characters into large,
decorative, letters.

<B. Getting Started With ASCII Art>

ASCII Art is very hard to write. It may take several tries to get ASCII art the
way you want it to look. You can learn more about ASCII art by searching for
"ASCII ART" on your favorite search engine.

<C. FIGLet>

FIGLet is a ASCII Art creating tool that allows you to select from many
different types of styles of ASCII Art. It is great for ASCII Art beginners.
FIGLet can be found by searching for it under your favorite search engine. If
you can't find FIGLet, email me saying "I Need FIGLet" and I will send you a
copy.

---------------------------------
   21. Reader Submitted Codes
---------------------------------

Here is where readers of my guide have submitted codes.

JAZZ411's codes:

< A. The Magical Hook >

	In Red Mountain, have Sonic just stand there while Tails
jumps up and grabs the...thing that you slide with (where you see the
scene of Sonic holding on to that thing that slides down the rope). I
don't know what it's called, but I think you'll know what I mean when
you get there. Anyway, if Tails grabs it, suddenly Sonic appears on it!

< B. Wall Crawler >

	In Lost World as Sonic, run through the first tunnel until
you get to the part in which the tunnel is rotating, and
all the blocks come in and out of the wall, with fire. I
hope you know what I mean. Now this is the tricky part!
You know how you can run along the walls and up the ceiling
with enough momentum? If you can run along the ceiling just
right when you reach the end, you will come out and hit the
wall of the next part (the part for the second tunnel; the
one that leads to the room with the spikes). If you do it
right, you will run up along the wall; it will sort of look
like Sonic is "sliding" up the wall. When you reach the top,
there is no ceiling here! You will fall THROUGH the ceiling
of the next tunnel! Sometimes, the camera will turn around
in mid-air so you are running into the camera if you go through
the tunnel!

Thanks a bunch Jazz!

DENN112985@aol.com Codes:

< A. Pinball Games SUCK, literally! >

      If you go to Casinopolis as sonic and tails is there too, move away
from the portal to where you play pinball then move tails into the portal
sonic will get sucked in!

Thanks Denn!

ZackTurner14@aol.com codes:

< A. Free Falling >

      First, beat the game with E-102. You should have the Hover power-up. Go
to
Adventure mode and select him again. Go to the area near Red Mountain, get on
the Floating Island, and jump off the top. Jump off the island and hover. If
you do it right, you'll hover right on down to the bottom. Now you can keep
falling! When everything is black, then you can stop hovering.

Thanks Zack!

---------------------------------
22. Acknowledgement and The Rest
---------------------------------

< A. What To Foresee in the future >

Well, for starters, when Sonic Adventure 2 comes out, I will be back writing an
FAQ for them. I won't be writing an FAQ for Sonic Shuffle because I didn't buy
it, it doesn't look that good.

NEXT VERSION INCLUDES: Probably more codes, and the rest of the emblems and
shortcuts.

<B. Copyright>

I know you have seen this all over the guide but I just want to reinforce the
rules here. Sonic Adventure is Copyright 1999 By Sega. This guide has been
copyrighted since July 31, 2000. Please don't change this FAQ, post it on your
site without giving credit, link directly to this FAQ, or anything that breaks
the rules of copyrights. I wouldn't like to use "the force" on anyone, because
it wastes my time and yours, and besides, it is just WRONG.

<C. Acknowledgements>

I would personally like to thank the following people:

Jazz411 - For submitting 2 cool glitches

SonicTeam - For creating the character "Sonic" and bringing him to the
Dreamcast

Sega - For making the Dreamcast

WWW.GAMEFAQS.COM and Jeff "CJayC" Veasey - For creating GameFAQS.com, the place
where you probably found this

Chris Kolher - For writing the most comprehensive Sonic Adventure FAQ. He is
the one, the ONLY one, who inspired me to create this

---------------------------------
            23. Good-bye
---------------------------------

Goodbye and thank you again for downloading my Fun Secret Guide to Sonic
Adventure! Considering all the secrets I found out in here, I will probably be
back with more secrets for more games! Email me or check back to the place
where you downloaded this for maybe a new guide of my secret series. I think I
may just to an all purpose FAQ with all the secrets from other games in it. You
may never know!
