Sonic Heroes

Sonic Heroes
Developer: Sega Studio USA Publisher: Sega Platforms: GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Windows Released in JP: December 30, 2003 (GC/PS2/Xbox), November 17, 2004 (Windows) Released in US: January 5, 2004 (GC), January 27, 2004 (PS2/Xbox), November 26, 2004 (Windows) Released in EU: February 6, 2004 (GC/PS2/Xbox), December 9, 2004 (Windows) This game has unused areas. This game has unused code. This game has unused enemies. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused sounds. This game has unused text. This game has debugging material. This game has a prototype article

Sonic Heroes lets you control teams of three characters and change between Speed, Flying, and Strength whenever that character is needed.

To do: Some glitches only work on some versions. For instance: The Team Blast quick build-up glitch, by pressing Attack and switching to Power while using Fly doesn't work on the PC version. This glitch is GameCube exclusive. More stuff here.

Unused Voice Clips

To do: Confirm if all versions are really in all ports. I only know that these are true for the PC version. Check the talk page for unused voice clip "candidates".

First off, voice clips for lines that have different variations, depending on the controls of the platform used, are present in all ports of the game. So, for instance, the PC version has unused dialogue for Sonic describing Rocket Accel with the GameCube's controls despite being presented with the Xbox controller layout.

Chaotix' Singing

Team Chaotix' Team Blast is really noisy: each character's singing is either cut off by the next one or a sound effect, or the volume is reduced drastically, making it impossible to hear these hilarious lines normally.

Teammate Roll Call

Characters calling out their teammate's names. These aren't used anywhere. (all01_e00* lines call out the "next" character on the team, all01_e01 call the "previous", in the order of Speed, Flight, Power.)

Rose and Chaotix' Team Blasts

Teams Rose and Chaotix explaining how their Team Blasts (Flower Festival and Chaotix Recital, respectively) work. The only point in the game in which this is said is on the final whale island on Seaside Hill, which isn't a part of the stage for these two teams. Only the first control variation clip (GCN) was taken, so replace "Z" with your platform's Team Blast button.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
all02_h16_am		Amy	Team Blast "Flower Festival" is activated if the Z button is pressed when the gauge in the top-right of the screen is full. Once activated, you will be invincible, as long as you have energy in the gauge.
all02_h16_bg		Big	To activate Team Blast "Flower Festival" press the Z button when the gauge in the top-right corner of the screen is full. Once activated, you are invincible until the gauge is empty.
all02_h16_ch		Charmy	Team Blast "Chaotix Recital" is activated when the Z button is pressed, while the gauge in the top-right corner of the screen is full! Bad enemies are turned into rings until the gauge is empty!
all02_h16_cr		Cream	Press the Z button when the gauge in the top-right corner of the screen is full to activate Team Blast "Flower Festival". Once activated, you are invincible until the gauge is empty.
all02_h16_es		Espio	Press the Z button when the gauge in the top-right corner of the screen is full to activate the Team Blast "Chaotix Recital". Once activated, defeated enemies are transformed into rings until the gauge is empty.
all02_h16_vc		Vector	Press the Z button when the gauge in the top-right corner of the screen is full to activate Team Blast "Chaotix Recital". When activated, the defeated enemies turn into rings until the gauge is empty.

Weights and Waits

There are heavy weights in the game that can squish characters, rendering them unusable. The characters should say one of the lines from the second half of this table, reflecting the fact that they've been squashed, but instead they just say their normal "I'm stuck!" lines, used for the capture robots called Klagen. When a character is unavailable, it'll be waiting inside a checkpoint.

The first half of these lines should play for when you finally free a character from a checkpoint, but no special sound clip plays.

all03_e00_am		Amy	It's about time!
all03_e00_bg		Big	Where'd you all go?

Omochao Gates

These hint to the existence of an "Omochao gate" that was meant to be opened by talking to or using a nearby Omochao. Either way, it's safe to say the removal of this element was a very wise idea.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
all03_h06_am		Amy	It looks like that Omochao has something to do with this gate.
all03_h06_bg		Big	I think that Omochao has something to do with this gate!
all03_h06_ch		Charmy	Wow! A gate with the symbol of Omochao! How cool!
all03_h06_cr		Cream	It looks like we have to ask Mr. Omochao to help us out!
all03_h06_es		Espio	Looks like that Omochao has something to do with this gate.
all03_h06_kn		Knuckles	Looks like that Omochao has something to do with this gate.
all03_h06_om		Omega	Omochao is the guardian of this gate.
all03_h06_rg		Rouge	I don't think I can open this door! What's the meaning of that symbol on the gate?
all03_h06_sd		Shadow	It looks like that Omochao has something to do with this gate.
all03_h06_sn		Sonic	Looks like that Omochao has something to do with this gate.
all03_h06_tl		Tails	There's an Omochao symbol on this gate. Maybe we should ask that Omochao.
all03_h06_vc		Vector	Looks like a key won't open this gate. Maybe that Chao has something to do with it.

Klagen Lines

Alternate lines for when a character is captured by a Klagen, and lines for when a Golden Klagen takes a character away. None of these are ever used: when a Klagen captures someone, they say another "Let me go!" line, and when a Golden Klagen is leaving, nobody says anything.

Eggman's Taunts

Miscellaneous taunts by Eggman, including a custom one for each team. And yes, the first one cuts off.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
bos01_e07_eg		Eggman	Try coming back in about a million ye—
bos01_e08_eg		Eggman	Team Sonic? You must be joking!
bos01_e09_eg		Eggman	Without me, Team Dark is nothing but a bunch of buffoons!
bos01_e10_eg		Eggman	Rragh! This is no place for little girls or a big fat cat!
bos01_e11_eg		Eggman	You call yourselves "detectives"? Just run along now.

Team Blast Limitations

In team battles, both teams can use Team Blast at any point, provided the energy gauge is full. However, these unused lines hint that at some point, if one of their characters fell, your opponents wouldn't be allowed to use Team Blast. It actually works quite the opposite in-game: when Team Blast is used, all fallen teammates on that team will rejoin the battle.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
bos05_h00_am		Amy	Those guys will attack with Team Blast if all 3 of them get together! Get at least one of them!
bos05_h00_bg		Big	They'll attack with Team Blast if all 3 of them get together! We have to take down one of them fast!
bos05_h00_ch		Charmy	Those guys will attack with Team Blast if all 3 of them get together! Get at least one of them!
bos05_h00_cr		Cream	They'll attack with Team Blast if all 3 of them get together! We have to take down one of them quickly!
bos05_h00_es		Espio	They'll attack with Team Blast if all 3 of them get together! Best approach is to take down one of them as soon as possible!
bos05_h00_kn		Knuckles	Those guys will attack with Team Blast if all 3 of them get together! Get at least one of them!
bos05_h00_om		Omega	They will attack with Team Blast if all 3 of them get together. Eliminate one of them first.
bos05_h00_rg		Rouge	They will attack with Team Blast if all 3 of them get together. We must hurry and take down at least one of them.
bos05_h00_sd		Shadow	They'll use Team Blast if all 3 of them get together. Hurry and destroy at least one of them!
bos05_h00_sn		Sonic	They will attack with Team Blast if all 3 of them come together. Take out at least one of them!
bos05_h00_tl		Tails	They'll attack with Team Blast when all 3 of them come together. We better take down at least one of them, and fast!
bos05_h00_vc		Vector	They'll attack with Team Blast if all 3 of them get together! We have to take one of them down and fast!

Invisible Metal Sonic

Some lines hint that there used to be an attack that made Metal Sonic invisible.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
bos09_e00_kn		Knuckles	Where'd he go?
bos09_e00_sn		Sonic	He's gone!
bos09_e00_tl		Tails	Watch out everybody!
bos09_h06_es		Espio	Even when he's invisible, he'll briefly appear when he attacks! Play close attention so you can locate his position!

Rose's V.I.P. Room

Team Rose's Casino Park ends before the V.I.P. room area, but there are still lines recorded for it and they can be heard if that area is somehow reached.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
cas01_e05_am		Amy	So this is the V.I.P. room, huh?
cas01_e05_bg		Big	What's a V.I.P.?
cas01_e05_cr		Cream	This room is for special people, Mr. Big!
cas01_e07_am		Amy	There's supposed to be a really gorgeous room, past these stairs.
cas01_e07_cr		Cream	There's no way we can get in, Amy! Let's go.

Chaotix' Lava Room

Team Chaotix' Power Plant ends before the rising lava room, but there are voice clips recorded for when the lava rises. If you somehow get to the room, it only has a spring, a grate, the final vertical door...and nothing else. The voice clips don't even trigger.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
cty02_e01_ch		Charmy	Woah! Looks like that lava's rising!
cty02_e01_es		Espio	Hmm, watch out everybody.
cty02_e01_vc		Vector	Must be an energy storage tank. Better get out before it gets full.

Japanese Leftovers

Two voice clips from the Japanese voice files that remained in the English voice files.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
e0112_00sd		Shadow	That hedgehog...
e0112_09sd		Shadow	I see. I guess there's nothing left to do but listen, then.

Rose's Giant Mushroom

In Frog Forest, Team Rose's level ends just before the giant mushroom section, so these comments go unused. Also of note is that while the access to the higher platform with a flower (which gives an alternate giant mushroom dialogue) has been removed for Team Chaotix, it's still easily possible to go there: if you go to the highest point of a nearby grindable vine as Charmy, jump as high as possible, on the peak of your jump fly, and on the top, shoot your teammates and climb up, you'll be able to access it, which makes this alternate dialogue not really unused.

At least the exploits used to access other unused stuff are a lot more complex than this simple jump.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
jun01_e06_am		Amy	You're right! It's more like a giant tree than a mushroom!
jun01_e06_cr		Cream	I've never seen a mushroom that big!
jun01_e07_am		Amy	Is that all you ever think about?
jun01_e07_bg		Big	Is that a Shiitake mushroom? I'm getting hungry.

Rose's Speed Trial

Even though Team Rose can never get to the three type trials in Mystic Mansion, there are voice clips for how to get past the Speed trial, the one where the characters say they need to use Homing Attack to jump on the ghosts in order to get across.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
oba01_h08_am		Amy	Maybe we can use Homing Attack on those ghosts to get over there.
oba01_h08_bg		Big	Use Homing Attack on the ghosts to get to the other side.
oba01_h08_cr		Cream	We should use Homing Attack on those ghosts, to get over there.

Room Full of Doors

Some comments regarding a room full of doors and a switch in Mystic Mansion. There doesn't seem to be any such room in the game. They still appear in the game towards the start of the stage in a room with one door.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
oba01_h09_am		Amy	What's with all these doors? And that strange switch over there?
oba01_h09_bg		Big	The room is full of doors! Interesting.
oba01_h09_ch		Charmy	Doors and a switch. Hmm. How about using the switch first?
oba01_h09_cr		Cream	I think these doors are broken. Someone should fix them.
oba01_h09_es		Espio	Another one of Eggman's puzzles? Let me solve this one.
oba01_h09_kn		Knuckles	These are doors, right? What's going on?
oba01_h09_om		Omega	Unable to analyze the phenomenon of this castle.
oba01_h09_rg		Rouge	What do all these doors have to do with that switch?
oba01_h09_sd		Shadow	The Doctor must be playing games with us. Let's open that case first.
oba01_h09_sn		Sonic	What's with these doors? That switch over there looks suspicious.
oba01_h09_tl		Tails	Nothing but doors! I wonder what that switch is doing over there?
oba01_h09_vc		Vector	A room full of doors... Ok, start looking around, boys.

Rose's Bullet Dodging

Team Rose's Egg Fleet ends before the bullet-dodging propeller flight part, but these clips still exist.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
sky01_h05_am		Amy	They're shooting at us! Dodge the bullets by moving up and down!
sky01_h05_bg		Big	Watch out! Get out of the way of the bullet!
sky01_h05_cr		Cream	We're being shot at! Move up and down to dodge the bullets!
sky01_h06_am		Amy	Let's get up there!
sky01_h06_bg		Big	Please! Move up!
sky01_h06_cr		Cream	Move up!
sky01_h10_am		Amy	They're firing at us again! Dodge 'em by moving up and down!
sky01_h10_bg		Big	They're shooting again! Must dodge the bullets: up and down!
sky01_h10_cr		Cream	Here we go again! Just dodge them by moving up and down!
sky01_h14_am		Amy	Move down!
sky01_h14_bg		Big	You gotta move down, or else!
sky01_h14_cr		Cream	Move down!

Rose's Landings

Alternate comments for when Team Rose is landing on a battleship in Egg Fleet, different from the ones used.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
sky01_h11_am		Amy	Let's land on that battleship!
sky01_h11_bg		Big	I wonder if Froggy is on that giant ship.
sky01_h11_cr		Cream	Let's try landing on that giant battleship!

Colored Rails

Incorrect comments explaining how the lasers work in Final Fortress. These state that the colored lasers fire at the rail of the same color, even though all rails are the same color in-game. In addition, there are also some comments about the rails lighting up (these are a lot more accurate). None of these clips are used.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
sky02_h03_ch		Charmy	Hey guys! Did you see the red, blue and yellow lasers? There're 3 colors of rails too!
sky02_h03_es		Espio	There're 3 colored lasers! Red, blue and yellow! Each laser fires at the rail of the same color!
sky02_h03_kn		Knuckles	There're 3 laser colors: red, blue and yellow! The color of the laser being fired matches the color of the rail!
sky02_h03_om		Omega	3 laser colors of red, blue and yellow are detected. Each laser color corresponds to a rail color.
sky02_h03_rg		Rouge	Hey guys! There're 3 colors of lasers, red, blue and yellow! Each laser fires at the rail of the same color!
sky02_h03_sd		Shadow	There are 3 laser colors: red, blue and yellow. Each laser fires at the same color rail.
sky02_h03_sn		Sonic	There are 3 colors of lasers: red, blue and yellow! Each laser fires at the same rail color!
sky02_h03_tl		Tails	Hey guys, there are 3 colors of lasers: red, blue and yellow. Each laser fires at the rail of the same color!
sky02_h03_vc		Vector	It seems there are 3 laser colors: red, blue and yellow. The color of the laser being fired matches the color of the rail!
sky02_h04_ch		Charmy	The cannon flashes before it fires! Stay off the same colored rail!
sky02_h04_es		Espio	This weapon illuminates right before it fires! Look at the color of the light and stay clear of the same colored rail!
sky02_h04_kn		Knuckles	The cannon will light up right before it fires. Stay off the rail with the same color, or you'll get burned by the laser!
sky02_h04_om		Omega	Analyze light emission before the cannon fires. Stay clear of the same colored rail.
sky02_h04_rg		Rouge	The cannon will light up right before it fires! Stay off the rail with the same color or you'll get burned by the laser!
sky02_h04_sd		Shadow	The cannon lights up for a split second before it fires! Make sure to stay off the same colored rail.
sky02_h04_sn		Sonic	The cannon lights up right before it fires! Look at the color of the light, and make sure to stay off the same colored rail!
sky02_h04_tl		Tails	The cannon lights up briefly before it fires! Look at the color, then make sure to stay off the same colored rail!
sky02_h04_vc		Vector	See the light from the cannon as it prepares to fire? Stay away from the same colored rail, or you'll get tagged by the laser!
sky02_h08_ch		Charmy	The rails light up for some reason! Maybe it's because of that laser!
sky02_h08_es		Espio	Did you notice that rail lights up before the laser fires?
sky02_h08_kn		Knuckles	The rail we're on now will light up right before the laser fires!
sky02_h08_om		Omega	The rail lights up as a reaction to the laser right before it fires.
sky02_h08_rg		Rouge	The rail lights up right before the laser fires!
sky02_h08_sd		Shadow	The rail will light up, right before the laser fires!
sky02_h08_sn		Sonic	The rail lights up right before the laser fires!
sky02_h08_tl		Tails	The rail lights up, right before the laser fires!
sky02_h08_vc		Vector	Looks like the rail lights up right before the laser fires!

Rose's Final Team Blast

There's a section in Final Fortress where some large robots gather up, arguably the hardest non-boss fight, as well as the last one. There's a Hint Orb nearby suggesting the use of Team Blast. Team Rose's level ends before this bit, but there are still recorded lines for the Team Blast hint.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
sky02_h13_am		Amy	It's time for Team Blast!
sky02_h13_bg		Big	Let's get them with Team Blast!
sky02_h13_cr		Cream	We must attack, using Team Blast!

Charmy Goes Alone

There are some clips for Charmy going somewhere and having to leave his teammates behind in Rail Canyon, but there's no such moment in-game.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
trn01_e07_ch		Charmy	If they can't come over here, then I guess I'm on my own!
trn01_e08_ch		Charmy	Wonder if that switch did anything? Maybe I should check!

Rose Being Shot

There are comments Team Rose was meant to say after being shot by the second cannon, but that part doesn't belong to Rose's Bullet Station; it isn't even loaded. To top it all off, Amy's voice clip is empty.

Name	Clip	Character	Transcript
trn02_e09_am	(Empty file)	Amy
trn02_e09_bg		Big	Wow, that was scary!
trn02_e09_cr		Cream	Yes it was!

Unused Enemy

Unidus, which had appeared in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2, is present in the game files.

To do: Document.

(Source: http://info.sonicretro.org/Game_Development:Sonic_Heroes)

Unused Textures

The textures are accessed in pretty much the same way one would access those of Grand Theft Auto III, but most of the files either don't open correctly or are just brutally unorganized.

Included in the textures for Stage 14, Final Fortress, is a 512×512 version of the sky texture. Only the 256×256 version is used in the stage and subsequent boss fight.

Strangely, the PC version is essentially "padded" with duplicate texture files, such as "event____.txd" files. Also, comsoon.txd is empty.

Inaccessible Areas

To do: Document the stuff here.

Team Rose's levels finish about halfway through the full level, which is played by Teams Sonic and Dark. However, using glitches, exploits, or cheats, one can have Team Rose explore sections of the level beyond the Goal Ring. Oddly, some of these areas still have rings and other items that the Team can collect. At the end lies the Goal Ring used by the other teams. In competitive ring challenges, the use of these areas for Team Rose is crucial. Some of these places can also be accessed by Team Chaotix.

Despite never entering these areas, some teams have dialogue for them which goes unused.

Another example is that the last area in Mystic Mansion where the torches and hammer enemies are cannot be accessed with other teams unless a cheating device is used. The rings and others are located in the same placement as for Team Chaotix in Super Hard.

Hidden Setting

In the PC version, adding the line

Charmy_Shutup 1

to "%AppData%\SEGA\SONICHEROES\sonic_h.ini" will disable all voice clips that do not have accompanying subtitles (such as attacks, idling, and scoring).

Miscellaneous

• As seen here, there's a self-destruct switch out of the wall in Team Rose's Final Fortress, to the left of where it normally is. If you fly next to the left wall, you'll be able to see it, and you can actually press it if you use glitches.
• Voice clip shenanigans:
  • In some copies of the game, mostly PC ones, Cream's A-rank line voice clip file is empty. In the copies that don't have this problem, she says "I'm so happy, I want to tell everyone!"
  • There are some clips in-game for when the characters explain the bobsled controls. However, these explain that if the Flight character is thrown off, the bobsled won't be able to jump. The order for character removal is Speed, Power, Flight, so when the Flight (i.e. last remaining) character is thrown off a life is lost. This hints that previously, the order for character removal was different or random.
  • In robot boss battles, characters say that some cages open when you defeat all robots, and that you can use the item inside to get Eggman. The definition of "get" must be very vague here, because in robot boss battles, the goal is to just defeat all waves of robots.
  • When fighting Metal Madness, the Hint Orb at the right makes Team Rose say that the boss will shoot fire if you grab his right arm (the flame-shooting arm). Maybe this battle or the overall game mechanics were really different in the past, because you can't do anything even remotely close to grabbing in this game, and its right arm is nothing special.
  • Another empty voice clip file: in Mystic Mansion, when you touch the Hint Orb next to the trolley as Team Rose, if it's Amy turn to talk, she won't say anything. The subtitle "The trolley controls are the same as the bobsled. Make sure to dodge the ghosts." will still appear.

To do: Above isn't true for at least GCN and PS2 versions; further research may be advisable
