Every copy of Sonic Adventure is personalized

I am a massive Sonic the Hedgehog fan. From playing the games to watching the movies to reading the comics, I take part in everything that has Sonic on it. My favorite video game character of all time is Sonic and it will always be Sonic.

One of my favorite Sonic games is Sonic Adventure. Something that made me sad was how Sonic Adventure didn't get any big myths or conspiracies. I mean, Mario 64 got dozens of myths like apparitions in the hallways or personalization AI, and since Sonic is way better than Mario, what's basically Sonic's Mario 64 but way better should get some myths too right.

But I'm overreacting, aren't I? I mean, it's not like Sonic Adventure has personalization AI hidden within it right?

Well, that's what I thought until my recent playthrough of the game.

I'd ordered a copy of the GameCube version off eBay and it'd just arrived. The cover looked...

Normal. Completely normal. It was a perfectly innocent copy of the game.

The title screen was normal. Picking the best character in the game, Sonic, was normal. The opening cutscene was normal. The fight with Chaos 0 was normal, the "Watch out, you're gonna crash. Ah!" scene was normal. This was clearly just a normal Sonic Adventure game, right?

Well, this is where it started to get weird.

When I went to go to Emerald Coast, Sonic walked past the loading zone and into a part of the game he was never meant to go to.

Something else was there too.

The Ancient Light upgrade was there. Something Sonic shouldn't access until Red Mountain, way later in the game.

I decided to get it, so I could have the Light Speed Attack when I got the Light Speed Dash.

Something else happened when I did get it though.

Personalization AI has been activated.

Oh boy, wonder what happens next.

Since I was in a joking phase about this, I thought
