Designing For is a series that takes a level in a game and analyzes a central theme for the design of that level. In this episode, we take a look at one of Sonic Adventure 2's most popular aspects, the Chao Garden, and see how it works in tandem with Sonic Adventure 2's gameplay loop to create something incredibly addictive and unmistakably Sonic.
