They contain all 60 missions for every character, and easy to follow.

Mission 53 is the most annoying thing i have come across in my life so far ( not exaggerating)

My Advice

1st jump - Nothin special regular jump

2nd is important , Slowly turn and jump at the right corner of the ramp ,
Hold forward immediately after sonic finishes his animation
(if you do not clear the bridge restart automatically because you will not make it)

3rd jump , The hardest , You must do a PERFECT jump at The last possible second of the red part of the ramp
Again , Hold forward immediately after sonic finishes his animation

Oh yeah and DO NOT HOLD FORWARD BEFORE JUMPING,
Many jumps i tried holding up but i didnt get far ,
HOLD FORWARD AFTER SONIC DOES HIS ANIMATION NOT BEFORE

GOOD LUCK you will NEED it (Took Me 4 hours to do myself)

Note: You will have to buy the "Sonic Adventure: DX" add-on for 400 Microsoft Points!

This link will lead to a guide where all the "Mission Cards" are and what and where you have to do them.
http://faqs.ign.com/articles/474/474382p1.html

These are how many "Mission Cards" there are per person.

Sonic: 25 Missions
Tails: 8 Missions
Knuckles: 9 Missions
Amy: 5 Missions
Big: 8 Missions
E-102: 5 Missions

Most are easy and the various guides including the other one here are mostly very good but a few are very annoying and some solutions are wrong.

(I've not got this at time of writing but I'll update it as I find more awkward ones).


Sonic

#40: On my first attempt the balloon spawned too high so I wasted all my lives and couldn't get it. If it seems too high, just exit the level (not restart) and try again.

#45: This one is often badly described, it's in Final Egg not Egg Carrier. It's actually in the brown area before the Sonic, Tails and Knuckles dolls. Spin up the curved wall and jump to get onto the platform (it's annoying).

#53: The trick that no one seems to have talked about is that YOU GO FURTHER IF YOU PRESS FORWARD ON THE STICK. Normally it doesn't make any difference but on the jumps it does. Edit thanks to timutimu: Apparently pressing forward on all 3 can mess up your jumps sometimes. I personally held forward on all 3 but if you are having trouble then try experimenting with not holding it on certain jumps.


Tails

#16: These are in Windy Valley, nowhere near any Knuckles power up. They are spaced out over the level on some windmill platforms - can't really miss them.

#54: This one is a nightmare and there is no trick that I know of. The only thing is just to keep on trying and try not to get angry. Stick some good music on and relax. There is no point in restarting and wasting a life when you screw up because it's not like you have to play the whole level like the Sonic one - just do as well as you can because it is extra practice. Also don't worry about Sonic - how fast he goes is just based on how fast you do so don't be distracted by him. Jumping slows you down a bit but you lose control so only do it if you have a lot of space before the next flag.

How I did Mission 53!

Forget what everyone else say if they say anything different! That's my suggestion! Sounds a bit harsh but here goes.

So I watched a lot of videos and read all the guides here!

I did about 100 attempts so I decided to grind up to 99 lives so I did not have to redo the level each time. I started with trying the glitch method. That is tougher than doing it the normal/legit way.

So after 2 attempts and with 97 lives left I decided to try something new and I got it on my first attempt doing it like that.

1. When you jump DONT wait for any animation that I read you should do.

2. DONT press up after pressing A like I read that you should do.

Here is what I decided to try!

When you jump press up on the left analog and A at the same time and keep holding up on the left analog and I believe I kept holding down the A button after but released it before I land.

The important part is for sure to press up on the left analog at the same time as pressing A and then keep holding up.

Someone said it will cancel the jump but this was the only way I got it and funny enough on my first attempt trying this.

Hope this helps someone! Mission 53 was a pain in the but!

Here are a video from Mission 53 and the guy that made these videos did a great work as it also shows the location of were to find the mission and also then follow up how to get to were the missions are. Very good for someone who did the main game and then waited over a year before doing the dlc.
And if you want another mission from this guy just type this in the search bar on you tube:

Sonic Adventure DX : Missions : Mission 53

Then just change to the mission number you want when searching!

All credit to the guy that made these videos!

Just wanted to add this for mission 53, as it was the only one I had major difficulty with and this (comparatively) recent video helped tremendously. I watched three times; gameplay, input, then both in intervals, and got the mission completed successfully on my forth otr fifth consecutive attempt and so wanted to share.
