Enemies are scattered around levels, and must be defeated by jumping on them or by other means of attack. The game begins with a tutorial followed by fourteen normal levels and seven. While the preceding games for the featured elements of and exploration, Sonic Heroes has a greater focus on speed-based platforming and gameplay.
For this reason, have written that the game plays much closer to the 2D Sonic games, rather than the Dreamcast games.The player navigates through the game using a team of three different characters. There are four teams: Team Sonic (, and ); Team Dark (, and ); Team Rose (, and ); and Team (Espio the Chameleon, Charmy Bee, and Vector the Crocodile). When the team reaches the end of a level, they are graded based on their performance; an 'A' rank is highest, while an 'E' is lowest.Team Rose, Team Sonic, and Team Dark represent easy, medium, and hard difficulties respectively, with the harder difficulties featuring longer stages and tougher enemies. Team Chaotix's levels are mission-based, requiring players to fulfill a specific objective in order to clear each level. Each team contains three character types: Speed, Power, and Flight, which the player toggles between at any time, also changing the team's running formation.
Speed characters can perform homing attacks (which allow them to lock onto enemies and objects) and light dashes (which allow them to dash across lines of rings), and can form whirlwinds to climb up poles; Power characters can break through objects and glide on air fans; and Flight characters can temporarily fly in the air and attack airborne enemies. By acquiring certain items or enemies, characters can level up, becoming more efficient when fighting against enemies.By collecting keys hidden within levels and reaching the end of a level without getting hit, players can enter special stages. In special stages, players dash across a tube, collecting spheres containing boost power whilst avoiding obstacles. There are two types of special stages: Bonus Challenge and Emerald Challenge. Bonus Challenges are optional, simply awarding the player with extra lives. Emerald Challenges task the player with catching a before it disappears.
If players can collect all seven emeralds and clear each team's story, an additional Last Story is unlocked. The game also features a mode, in which players can race or battle against each other.Six months after the battle aboard the Space Colony ARK, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles receive a letter from Doctor Eggman. Eggman claims to have an ultimate weapon that he will use to take over the world in three days. As the team sets off to put a stop to Eggman's plans, Amy, who is infatuated with Sonic, teams up with Cream and Big to help them search for their missing friends, Chocola and Froggy, who were supposedly seen being kidnapped by Sonic. Elsewhere, Rouge infiltrates one of Eggman's bases, where she discovers Shadow, who was presumed dead following the Space Colony ARK incident, and a discarded robot named E-123 Omega.
With Shadow missing his memories and Omega seeking revenge against Eggman for sealing him away, Rouge, who wants to get a hold of Eggman's treasure, forms a team with them. Meanwhile, the Chaotix Detective Agency, formed of Vector, Espio, and Charmy, receive a job from a mysterious client who communicates with them via walkie-talkie, which they blindly accept due to needing the money.As the teams make their way towards Eggman's whereabouts, clashing with each other along the way, many of the characters start having doubts about the identity of their true adversary. Unbeknownst to them, someone is hiding behind the scenes, posing as Eggman and secretly obtaining data from his enemies. After Eggman's final machine is defeated, Team Dark uncovers a series of androids resembling Shadow, Team Rose is reunited with Chocola and Froggy, and Team Chaotix discover that their mysterious client is actually the real Eggman, who had been locked away by his impostor, revealed to be. Using the data he had copied from his enemies, Metal Sonic transforms himself into the Metal Overlord in order to prove himself as the ultimate being. However, Sonic uses the power of the Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic and, with help from his teammates, defeats Metal Overlord, who reverts to normal. As the heroes disperse, Sonic and his team run off in anticipation of their next adventure.Sonic Heroes was developed by the 19-member in to commemorate the Sonic series' 12th anniversary.
Development was led by producer and director and lasted 20 months. The majority of the development team had worked on previous Sonic games. Iizuka stated that he did not want to make the game a sequel to, as he was worried only fans of the series would buy the game and was interested in returning to a gameplay style similar to the Genesis games. Therefore, the team instead decided to design Sonic Heroes so casual players not familiar with Sonic could adapt to it. The game does include references to the stories of the Sonic Adventure games, but it otherwise features its own style and gameplay.Sonic Heroes was the first multi-platform Sonic game: in addition to its version, it was also developed for the. Unlike previous games, which had been made using tools built by, Sonic Team partnered with to use the so the game could be programmed and with ease to each platform.
Though Sonic Team was able to transfer some and models from the Sonic Adventure games into Sonic Heroes, most of the game was built from scratch. The team found challenges in working with the Xbox and PlayStation 2, platforms with which they had very little experience. The content in all versions is the same, but the PlayStation 2 version runs at 30 (FPS) in contrast to the other versions running at 60 FPS. Noah Musler of Sega explained that running the PlayStation 2 version at 60 FPS would have caused performance problems, so it was slowed down.
Iizuka and Naka had a conversation over whether or not to include content exclusive to certain versions, but decided not to, citing a desire for buyers to have the same experience regardless of the console they played it on.Sonic Team was interested in making Sonic Heroes 's narrative feature three characters teaming up to overcome evil, rather than Sonic Adventure 's approach of each character having their own individual story. This led to the conception of the game's 'team action' concept. Iizuka stated Sonic Team had a considerable amount of freedom in designing the game due to its new scope. The -raising system—a staple of the series since Sonic Adventure—was removed because Sonic Team feared it would disrupt the pace of the game. With the Chao's removal, the were also eschewed. To improve, the grading system was made more difficult. The special stages from the 2D games were also revived to 'refresh players' minds' and change the game's pace.

According to Iizuka, the Chaotix were brought back because Sonic Team thought the characters were unique and had never used them. Iizuka also said he did not consider the Chaotix in Sonic Heroes the same team that appeared in Knuckles' Chaotix, claiming to have simply created new characters using the same designs from 1995. The game marks the debut of E-123 Omega in the Sonic series.
Cream the Rabbit was created specifically for Sonic Heroes, but was introduced in 2002's to make the game easier for beginning players. Sonic Team wanted to include as many teams as possible, but time constraints and a desire to keep the gameplay balanced prevented this.
The game also features several cutscenes produced by Vision Scape Interactive.composed the majority of the Sonic Heroes soundtrack. Senoue's band performed the main theme, 'Sonic Heroes', and the final boss theme, 'What I'm Made Of'. Other songs were performed by,. Iizuka has said that the intention was for the music to return to the roots of the Sonic experience and to be exciting and fast-paced.Naka declared 2003 'Sonic Year': in addition to Sonic Heroes, a toy line based on the Sonic series and series were launched, exposing the franchise to a new generation of potential gamers.
