Easy Way To Beat The Rock Head Dude
All right this is very simple. When you get around the big rocky dude when he stops and there are the walkways on his back, Do not use your bounce technique, Because when you do that it forces you to go down really fast.
The best way to beat him is just to jump on the stairs. Another thing, If that little blue robot tells you that you should use the bounce technique because its the easiest way to get to the top, Then he is wrong.

Shadow
A little into the level there is an area where you take one of those lift things up to a platform with a line of rings leading to an enemy and a spring platform. Jump up the spring platform to the road above. STOP.
Look for a platform to the left. On it is the fireball attack.

Then when you do switch, the other charcter should have about 40 or more rings to start out with.

Exactly What You Unlock When You Have 180 Emblems
I've read through the cheats for sonic adventure 2, and quite francly, i think i'm the only one who has fully completed it, so i've decided to tell you exactly what you unlock and what you don't, and don't say "well i've completed it in a different version and my cheat does work" because i've completed it in jap, eng and amer.
Once totally complete with 180 emblems you unlock the final stage in stage select (if for some reason it wasn't there before), you also get green hill in stage select (it will appear with a question mark on the left hand part of the map, and finally you unlock these characters in 2P mode:
in place of
shadow = shadow(2) and metal sonic
sonic = sonic(2) and amy rose
eggman = eggman(2) and big the cat
tails = tails(2) and a chao
rouge = roug(2) and chaos
knuckles = knuckles(2) and tikal

Turning Chao Evil
A easier way of turning chao's evil than petting them and raising them with evil characters is to punch, kick and hurt your chao. If it starts crying hit it some more and it will turn darker and darker until it is black. Then when it evolves it will be evil. Also when you have both evil and hero chao's you open up evil race and hero race in chao stadium.

WEIRD ITEMS
Have you ever noticed some weird items that you can't do anything with. Some items I've found are: bombs (THEY EXPLODE!!), skulls, green, blue, and orange item boxes from PSO, game boxes of old sonic games, and even an X Box!!!!!! Actually I'm not sure its an X Box but its a black box about the same size and shape of an x-box, and it has a green X on it that looks EXACTLY like the x-box's logo. The PSO items can be found on the ARK on Rouge's last stage, and the X-Box can be found in Sonic's CRAZY GADGET stage (the x-box is on an x-shaped floor but look carefully because it blends in with the floor)

Use Chaos Control On Last Stage Story Mode
Ever wish that you could make those stop clocks last just a little longer? Well, theres a way. When you are using Tails/Eggman, you can do it in possibly three (3) different ways:
1. Aim at the clock, then touch without letting go of the button (it should work for about five seconds more than normal.
2. Aim and repeatedly fire at the clock quickly, after about so many times immeadiately hold the button and run where you need to go and hope it works.
3.Same as number three, but rotate the control stick
I still haven't found a way with Rouge/Kuckles yet.
With Sonic, this is the easiest to perform.
When you come into the room that leads to the two walkers, and the floating chaos guy, use the magic gloves on everybody. Once you get to where the clock is, get Sonic ready to perform a super Sonic Spin dash. Hit it at full speed, and the Chaos Control effect should kick in right about...now! If it doesn't work here, use it on the clock just before you go down the big red tube and 'Botnik tells you that it's all up to you. This makes everything easier, especially on the third mission.

Hints For Pumpkin Hill On HARD
Are you stuck on Pumpkin Hill on hard? Well here's the solution.
This is much harder than the 1st mission. From the start, go to the right. Look out for the ghost. Hit him 3 times, or jump over him. Take the rocket up, but grab the wall. Head down as far as you can. Then, Jump and glide. You will see the emerald above the spiny balls. If you're lucky you'll get it on you're first try. If you don't, go back to the bottom of the mountain and jump again. The second emerald is on Pumpkin Mountain. Go around untill you find the ledge with the two skulls blowing fire. You will have to climb the wall where the fire hits. Dig. You should find the next emerald. The last one is hard. Go to Church Mountain and climp to the top of the church. Keep trying until you get a view of the sky. Pause and hold Y & X together. See the green sparkle? That's the emerald! Now for getting it. Go to Pumpkin Mountain. Find the spring behind a metal wall-like structure. Bounce and glide toward Church Mountain. You should be at the same height as the emerald. Keep tr!
ying until you get it.
Huh? Looking for the lost Chao? Well, first snag the Mystic melody from the picture in Wild Canyon. Then, go to the top of Pumpkin Mountain. See the weird box? Use Mystic Melody on it. Take the steps to the top. There he is!
