** The later HD ports suffers from object and character model issues that the Dreamcast and [=GameCube=] version didn't have, such as shading problems (e.g. Sonic's and Shadow's character models have a mustache-like shading error around their mouths), rendering issues (e.g. missing details on Tails and Eggman's mechs, Rouge's Treasure Scope), and some lighting effects being completely missing like in Iron Gate and Lost Colony, losing the dark atmosphere those stages had.
** The [=GameCube=] versions had some sound mixing problems, but the HD ports managed to make it even worse with sound effects blurring out so loudly that it drowns out voice-overs or other effects during gameplay or story scenes.
** The Chao garden system in the HD ports introduced a new glitch with rendering on Shiny two-tone Chao, referred as the "[[https://chao-island.com/wiki/Bright_Chao Bright Chao]]" glitch, which causes their bodies to shine incredibly brightly instead of their original color tones with a shinier sheen. Some Shiny Jewel Chao also don't render correct and may appear completely invisible. Other issues with the Chao garden system with the HD ports also includes planted trees rendering miniscule and floating mid-air, and missing content that originally required the connectivity with the VMU on the Dreamcast or Gameboy Advance on the [=GameCube=] versions.
** A majority of the story cutscenes in ''Sonic Adventure 2 Battle'' and its HD ports suffer from various problems, ranging from missing or poorly re-created visual effects, loss in colors or effects, inconsistently going from widescreen to 4:3 in some scenes that involved video effects in the HD ports, and errors with Amy's character models that include misaligned head or eyes and textures problems.

* PortingDisaster: Although ''Sonic Adventure 2 Battle'' has been billed as the definitive version of ''Sonic Adventure 2'', the [=GameCube=] version of the game has some issues compared to the original Dreamcast version, some of which have gotten worse with the later HD ports.

** At the start of the game, Sonic gets mistaken for his CriminalDoppelganger who has the word "Shadow" in his name. The same would happen to his rival Mario [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine just a year later]]. Both titles also feature said doppelganger framing the protagonist for a crime and getting them thrown in prison (though unintentionally in Shadow's case), forcing them to spend the rest of the game clearing their name.

* AssPull: Near the end of the Hero and Dark stories, Eggman manages to trap Sonic in a chamber and has him shot out of an airlock to plummet to Earth to his death. How does he get out of this? He performs Chaos Control with a ''fake'' Chaos Emerald. The fake emerald was made by Tails to mimic a real emerald's power signature, but it doesn't actually have the same output of power. Not only that, but performing Chaos Control with only one ''real'' emerald is an ability only Shadow can perform, Sonic only ever displaying that kind of power as Super Sonic.

Not only that, but performing Sonic only recently discovered what Chaos Control with only one ''real'' emerald even is an ability only when he saw Shadow can perform, perform it, and the latter only performed it ''once'' in front of him. Yet, Sonic only ever displaying that kind of power as Super Sonic. is somehow able to pull it off on his first attempt with no experience or knowledge on how to do it.

* AngstWhatAngst: Near the end of both the Dark and Hero stories, Dr. Eggman has Amy, a 12 year old girl, at ''gunpoint'' and threatens to ''shoot her in the head'' if Sonic doesn't hand over the final chaos emerald. Despite the seriousness of the situation, when Sonic does arrive, he simply smiles and cracks a joke about Eggman "turning into a big time villain" before confidentially walking into the room. Granted, it's ''possible'' Eggman wasn't actually being serious about harming Amy and Sonic just knows him that well to tell, but he still acts weirdly unfazed to the fact that his friend's life is being threatened right in front of him.

** The scene of Sonic and Shadow turning into their super forms loses its intended impact when you have the two hedgehogs shaking their fists while the emeralds circle them, making it look like they're trying to see who can jerk off the hardest. Then, when the transformation happens, all their upgrades you've obtained for both of them throughout the game suddenly dissaper, because they never bothered to account for the upgrades for their super forms.

** Many people claim that the original Dreamcast version has a bug where, when you play as Eggman near the end of the game, he’ll fall through the floor over and over with no way to stop it. Thing is, this is actually an anti-piracy measure triggered when the game detects that it's not being played on an official disc, and it only became widely known as a “bug” due to how common it was to pirate Dreamcast games. While it is possible for legit copies to trigger this (usually if there are scratches near the center of the disc), it's much less common than people think.

* TrueArtIsAngsty: They took a series previously known more for colourful backgrounds and cutesy creatures and turned it into a tale of revenge, grief for lost loved ones, and [[spoiler:attempted use of a weapon literally capable of wiping out all of humanity.]] ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure 1'' was already this compared to the earlier Sonic games, but ''Sonic Adventure 2'' [[ExaggeratedTrope took it even further...]]
