Description:

Sonic Adventure 7 is a pirate game for the Game Boy Color. This pirate appears for sale on eBay occasionally, showing a picture of a manual and a cartridge. The intro is an abridged version of the Sonic & Knuckles title screen animation, and the title screen is the Sonic Adventure logo. The graphics seem to have been hastily recolored, as they are often unfitting and visually unpleasant (e.g. many neon colors are used and some sprites are not colored in as our blue blur is intended).

Gameplay

Sonic the Hedgehog is the only playable character in the game, despite Knuckles the Echidna’s appearance in the intro. The game’s physics are crude in comparison to the official games. Sonic has only two separate movement speeds; his initial walk is replaced by a run after he moves a certain distance. He is unable to hit enemies from the side when using his jumping spin attack, and must land directly on top of them, which also causes him to unroll from his ball form. The rolling spin attack and the Spin Dash are also present, but are not fully functional. The former does not damage enemies, and the latter doesn’t always work (sometimes the player passes through the enemy, while other times they suffer a hit).

As normal, rings allow Sonic to survive a hit, and are deducted in full after one; however, they do not fly out of Sonic’s grasp when lost. The invincibility boxes that appear are useless, as Sonic can still be damaged, lose rings, or lose a life. There are also ring boxes (grant 10 rings) and spring boxes (cause springs to appear on the ground in the same spot).
