Sonic Adventure Guide


Big the Cat's Adventure

Big’s Adventure represents the new staple for character-driven console games – the fishing mini-game! In each level Big must go fishing to locate his little frog friend. Big is the first of the two new characters in the game. He is a large, slow purple cat who lost his frog friend. He visits some of the same levels as Sonic, as well as finding four lure upgrades, a Power Rod, and an Inner Tube. 

Bigs Action Stages: 

  • Twinkle Park 
  • Ice Cap 
  • Emerald Coast 
  • Hot Shelter 


Twinkle Park

Big starts out in his "house" that is located in Mystic Ruins. Right at the start you can find the first upgrade under his bed. It is the Power Rod, which gives you longer casting distance. That will make it easier to get the emblems in his action stages. Also, in this area is a Lure Upgrade, but you’ll need to get that later. 

When you get to Station Square, jump into the pool of water behind Twinkle Park to find a Lure Upgrade. Then, go to the manhole where Sonic got his shoes to enter Twinkle Park. 

Twinkle Park Objectives: 

C: Catch Froggy 

B: Catch a fish larger than 1500lbs and Froggy. 

A: Catch a fish larger than 200lbs and Froggy. 


Ice Cap

For Big to enter Ice Cap, he must also use the Ice Key. Before you enter the stage, the Life Belt will be underwater. This will allow you to float on top of the water. 

Also, inside the stage is a Lure Upgrade. 

Ice Cap Objectives: 

C: Catch Froggy 

B: Catch a fish larger than 1500lbs and Froggy. 

A: Catch a fish larger than 200lbs and Froggy. 


Emerald Coast

Emerald Coast is one of the best looking of Big’s levels. There is one area in here that is hidden, but you can catch a shark that weighs between 1700 and 2000lbs! To get there find the large rock pillar, and at the bottom is a tunnel. Follow that into a large round room. 

Emerald Coast Objectives: 

C: Catch Froggy 

B: Catch a fish larger than 1500lbs and Froggy. 

A: Catch a fish larger than 200lbs and Froggy. 


Hot Shelter

In Hot Shelter, there are quite a few sharks so getting all three emblems shouldn’t be too tough. 

C: Catch Froggy 

B: Catch a fish larger than 1500lbs and Froggy. 

A: Catch a fish larger than 200lbs and Froggy. 

After the level is complete, Big will actually have to face Chaos 6. To defeat him just continually cast at Froggy.
