Album Covers

Album Covers are items that appear in Sonic Adventure 3: East Coast Minute, Sonic Adventure 4: Californication, Sonic Adventure 5: Windy City Showdown, and Shadow the Hedgehog 3: U.K. Calling. They are optional collectables scattered all over the open hub worlds.
== Description ==
Album covers are scattered all over the map in semi-random locations. From a distance they look like small, flat squares, but when getting close to pick one up it bears the album cover of one of the many licensed music artists on the in-game radio.
== Overview ==
In the Sonic Adventure series, there are 78 album covers in SA3, 120 in SA4, and 64 in SA5. In Shadow the Hedgehog 3, there are 60. In the Sonic Adventure games, any character can pick up any of the album covers at any time (i.e. Sonic can get them all before unlocking any of the other playable characters). Collecting half and all of them respectively will unlock achievements/trophies. They can also be viewed in the pause menu at any time.
== Differences by Game ==
* Sonic Adventure 3: Only on pause menu screen
* Sonic Adventure 4: Pause menu screen and adds song to phone to play at any time
* Sonic Adventure 5: Same as SA3
* Shadow the Hedgehog 3: Same as SA4

== Trivia ==
* Not every song in the licensed soundtrack has an album, hence why some songs are given to the player at the start of the game starting with SA4. There are a few reasons for this:
** Some of the songs were only released as a single (Jay Rock's "Parental Advisory") or on a compilation album (Ice-T's "Colors")
** Some songs were released before the times of albums and vinyl (all of the classical songs and some jazz songs)
** Some album titles contain bad language or adult references, and would be barred as a result (Onyx's "Bacdafucup" and the Sex Pistols' "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols")
** Some album covers contain religious/graphic/disturbing imagery (Ja Rule's "The Last Temptation", Slayer's "Reign in Blood", and Exodus' "Bonded by Blood")
** While the song may have been out during the game's timeframe, the album may not have been out then (Big Sean's "Dark Sky Paradise")
** Some album covers contain real life places that are not in the Sonic the Hedgehog universe (the New York Dolls' album of the same name and Rage Against the Machine's "The Battle of Los Angeles")
* A lot of the album covers are located in places corresponding with the artist's origins (for example, Mobb Deep's "The Infamous" is located at the Serf Projects in Monarchs, and its real life equivalent, the Queensborough Projects, is where Mobb Deep formed). According to one of Sega's lead developers, this was intentional, giving music buffs a chance for some cool surprises.
* When looking at the album on the menu or when picking one up for the first time, the current character will make a comment unique to them, and sometimes even mention other characters.
* Oddly, in SA4, the album cover for Kendrick Lamar's "good kid, m.A.A.d city" is from the deluxe edition and not the normal edition. This is most likely due to the original artwork depicting gang signs, which could have been considered offensive.
