→Production: This can especially be seen if played as Tails, lots of screams and shrieks were changed to dull "Maydays", and Tails blinks at Chaos rather than stutter at the "Monster". Eggman too |

Line 35:
The theme song of the game, ''[[Open Your Heart (Crush 40)|Open Your Heart]]'' was created by the band [[Crush 40]].
This is the only time in an extensively voice-acted Sonic gamed that the English voices was developed after the completion of the Japanese version. As a result, the script was localized more than usual in other languages. There are even small lines added to the English voice, and even an odd few where they were changed to a different character. Due to the long wait for an English version, future games would develop Japanese and English voice acting simultaneously, and would base themselves off a single script with little variations.
One of the biggest changes to the localized script was related to the main antagonist, [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Robotnik]]. He had been referred to as "Dr. Ivo Robotnik" in the west and "Dr. Eggman" in Japan, but ''Sonic Adventure'' is the game which actually made the name Eggman well-known in [[North America]] and [[Europe]]. ''Sonic Adventure'' tried to merge both names so that his name so that Dr. Ivo Robotnik (his Western name) was his real name, while Dr. Eggman (his Japanese name) was his nickname used by Sonic and friends. This was also attempted in some other Sonic games, most notably the English manual of ''[[Sonic Drift 2]]''. This was not in the original Japanese script, however, and the game continued to call him Dr. Eggman. However, Japan would eventually adopt the western name as his real name; in ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'', it is revealed that "Robotnik" is his surname in Japan, while "Eggman" is really an alias or nickname. Currently, only the name Dr. Eggman is used (Robotnik now usually refers to [[Prof. Gerald Robotnik]] or [[Maria Robotnik]]).
''Sonic Adventure'' was re-released on the [[Nintendo GameCube]] under the title ''Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut'' on [[June 17]], [[2003]] in North America, [[June 19]] [[2003]] in Japan, and [[June 27]] [[2003]] in Europe, and later made available on [[IBM PC compatible|PC]] [[CD-ROM]]. The update includes enhanced graphics (including a change in almost everyone's appearance to further resemble their ''Sonic Adventure 2'' appearance), a new Mission Mode, and the playability of every ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' [[Game Gear]] game. However, Sonic Team did not remove all the glitches.
