Sonic Adventure DX - Mystic Ruins Jungle Exploration

I made the video that I've always wanted to watch. In this video, we will look around one of my favorite areas in Sonic Adventure 1, the Jungle in the mystic ruins.

BACKGROUND/LORE:

The story goes that many hundreds, thousands of years ago, the echidna tribe seeked to expand their empire by using the power of the Chaos Emeralds. Their plans where to raid the Holy ground where the Master Emerald and chaos emeralds were kept. The Daughter of the echidna chieftain, begged otherwise, nut when the echidna did raid the holy grounds, Chaos utilised the power of the seven Chaos emeralds and became perfect chaos, destroying the clan and their hold.

The Mystic ruins are all that remain of this hold and throughout the adventure field, you can find remnants of the great Aztec styled pyramid and the Shrine of the Master emerald. If you look even more closely, you can even see the collapsed tunnel that connected the two ancient sites.

The Jungle area consists of 3 major landmarks, the most obvious is the echidna pyramid that has sunken into the ground, likely due to Chaos's water like abilities, which may have liquefied the ground and caused mudslides and similar events.

The second is Big's home which consists of a small hut, next to a tree, which you can find small details such as canoes, fishing rods, a bed, a post box and other items.

The final feature is Egg mans 'Final Egg' which only appears at certain  points within certain characters stories. Not every character can access the Jungle area.

MAKING THE VIDEO:

I've tried my best to cover as much of the Jungle as I possibly could figure out to explore, though I may have missed some areas by accident and if so, I'm sorry. I used Knuckles because it was the easiest character to use to navigate the area and was also relatively small, which allows you to see more of the adventure field.

Enjoy!
