# INSTALATION
##############################

1. Place 'sadx.exe' in Sonic Adventure DX PC's installation folder.

2. You'll also need MainMemory's 'sonic - superfix.exe' (if you don't already).
You can find it here: http://x-hax.cultnet.net/MainMemory/sonic%20-%20superfix.rar
Place it in the same folder with 'sadx.exe'

3. Execute 'sadx.exe' to start the game.

# HOW TO USE
##############################

You will only be able to transform into Super Sonic if the following conditions are
met:

You have finished the game with every character in Adventure Mode to unlock Super
Sonic's story;
You have finished Super Sonic's story in Adventure Mode.

Super Sonic is only avaiable in Adventure Mode. So, to play as Super Sonic, go in
Adventure Mode, and select 'SUPER SONIC.'

You can only transform into Super Sonic when at a Action Stage, therefore you
cannot transform in Adventure Fields.

In order to powerup, grab 50 rings and press the Action Button while you jump.
You'll transform into Super Sonic! But watch out for your ring consumption. If the
countdown reaches to 0, the transformation will be reverted, and you'll become
regular Sonic back again. You can revert the transformation any time at will, by
jumping and pressing the Action Button again.
Sonic is much, much faster when in Super state, especially when he's airborn,
therefore, he can definitely break the game. In order to turn things a little more
"fair," I added Super Sonic with the ability to walk on water. This idea came along
because Perfect Chaos' fight happens on water, so I figured it would only make
sense to give this ability to him on levels as well.

Super Sonic has four traits: The invincibility that he naturally posses, the ultra-
fast speed, the Bolt Of Lighting Attack that he uses to defeat Perfect Chaos, and
the "Jesus" walk on water ability.

Be warry, however, that Super Sonic was not intendend to be playable on the normal
levels, to there could be many mechanics that can glitch the game. So, if you
happen to find something that impeed your way through, revert your transformation
back to regular Sonic again, overcome such obstacle, and then transform back into
Super Sonic.

Future releases will be for the fix of such issues.

A huge thanks for Dude (for his initial development on the Sonic Adventure DX
hacking scene), MainMemory (for his initial researches on pointer locations), and
Polygom Jim and Aquaslash (for both support and bug-testing).
