If there's one thing you can say about the Sonic advance series/ battle, it's that the sprite work is phenomenal. To this day, they've been used in many a sprite animation and are timeless.
2:19 The answer is, as Sonic or Amy (and only them in the first game), you hold R at the beginning of a rail while jumping on it. At least that’s what the instruction manual said, and when I did it, it was very consistent. Although, the manual doesn’t mention that Amy is capable of grinding, only Sonic. But yes, as a reference to her playable version in SA2B in 2-player mode, she can also grind rails.
I never used R to jump on rails, you have to jump on the flat starting point of the rail and you can do a higher "Trick" Jump with good timing of the A button near the end of the rail. Tho like John said it's *extremely* finicky and they don't really lead to the best pathways to Special Stages
Behold, the beginning of the sprites that launched a thousand flash animations. I love these games, all three, even if I’ve never bothered getting all the Chaos Emeralds in any of them(closest I’ve come is getting five or six in Advance 3)
I know I'm not only one saying this, but Sonic Advance was my childhood, growing up in the 2000s. I remember having that game in a combo pack that also included Sonic Pinball Party. I remember playing both of them during cold days and rainy days, especially in the winter. And to me, it's fitting you guys have this video in winter time this year. And it's because I like playing Sonic games during cold days and rainy days. That's my preferred weather condition for Sonic the Hedgehog
I am of the unpopular(?) that I love the hyper colorful graphics of emulated GBA games and I think Sonic Advance is a perfect example of that. I know this filter is how it would look on actual hardware, but it just looks… wrong to me.
Depends on the game honestly. This game I agree, I feel Sonic Advance looked better on the backlit models and in emulators without the correction filter. Something like Metroid Fusion? Nah, no Metroid game has the right to sear my eyes with hyper-saturated visuals, it's supposed to be dark and atmospheric. And then there's Circle of the Moon which just isn't visible at all in original GBA colors.
I completely agree, compared to Sonic 3, the Insta-Shield feels so flaccid that you may as well not use it. I wasn't aware it had no i-frames but the range extension is so small it's barely noticeable. Amy has the real Insta-Shield, her mid air attack will hit something from half a screen away, it's crazy.
I beg to differ. The insta-shield in Sonic 3 is very useful cause it can counterattack any enemies that can't be hit by a single jump. Any enemies with spikes or other obstacles protecting it can be destroyed with a insta-shield if use correctly. It's one of the best & underrated moves in any Sonic games.
Sonic also has an air dash in Advance 1 and 2. If you double tap left or right after a jump he'll do like a little dash in the air. Also Amy can grind rails... by sitting on them.
These guys made it to 100k by just talking over games and nothing else (sometimes) and Im glad i've been around for most of it (since 2011) this had been amazing
I don't know what I'm more happy for, that they finally got to a game that came out over 20 years ago, or that they've been on overdrive posting sonic-related content daily lately
I was just thinking about re-playing the advance trilogy for this Christmas and actually thought about... hmm wonder when will BSC finally do this most-awaited commentary! May all your xmas wishes come true as my one! :) (And don't worry Johnny, I'm also in the "Sonic Advance 3... ugh" club, even if all 3 games have their own annoying thing)
Man, the filter looks odd on this one. Like, I get that this is a simulation of how it looks on the hardware it was designed for, but it doesn’t look right on this one. There’s quite a few games that benefit from the filter, _Fire Emblem_ looks great with it on, but it just kinda looks like the colors faded in this case. I’m not gonna say this isn’t how the game is supposed to look, or throw shade for using the filter (both of which would be stupid), I’m just giving my thoughts on how the filter looks in this case.
You hold down the R button when jumping onto the rail to make Sonic grind on it. Sonic Advane 2 they allowed characters to automatically do this when touching the rail bars. So yeah, jump at the beginning of the rail and hold down the R button.
Kinda think you should have waited for the Advance 2 decompilation and pc port to be finished since it's nearly done, but I digress. Great to see another Sonic commentary this year!
oh dude you guys are playing the advance games!?!?!? i can't wait until you guys get to the other games. Sonic advance 3 is my favorite game of all time!!!!!
Hell yeah Advance! My cousin had Sonic Adventure on the dreamcast so that was my first experience with a sonic game, but Advance 1 was the first one I owned. I prefer the 2nd games focus on speed more but I always loved how the levels in the 1st felt more connected to each other and felt that they existed in the world. Also Chao Garden is there by default which was nice. I was never able to get all the chaos emeralds for anyone to unlock it in the 2nd game.
I haven't played this game in so long! I remember being gifted this game by my dad along with my Game Boy Advance and copies of Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald! Good times!
I’m not sure if the output for the game is a bit more muted than I remember? It definitely wasn’t this washed out before. The Advance trilogy despite some design choices (Emerald collection and level design) I feel was a solid revival of 2D Sonic and I adore the sprite work which is funny since Dimps was made out of Ex SNK Devs
Well to the answer your first question at least, John is using a specific GBA shader for this recording provided by one of his more tech savvy friends. It is considered a form of color correction, but even I agree for at least Sonic Advance It looks washed out.
Can say right now Advance 3 seems to be a very divisive game. People who tend to like Advance 2 don’t like Advance 3 and people who love Advance 3 hate Advance 2 or at least that’s what I’ve noticed I’m sure there are people out there who love both
You know, Ted makes a joke about people going into a taco place and ordering a cheeseburger, but I actually had something like that happen to me when I worked at Taco Bell; guy came in asking for hot dogs and French fries. I just pointed to the overhead menu because what the hell was he thinking this place was?
Pretty Fitting considering that Sonic Advance 1 was released in December of 2001 in Japan a few days short before Christmas. Speaking of Merry Christmas everyone!
Holy shit, Sonic Advance and Johnny playing it at that, wow. I wonder why Sega never again did 2d Sonic using the modern sprites, was it just because I prefer this Sonic design instead of classic, like imagine Sonic Mania 2 but geared towards the Advance games this time, that would've been great but instead we got Superstars while failed according to Sega's president.
I think Advance and SA2 Battle were SUPPOSED to release at the same time (as the Chao Gardens can communicate with each other,) but somebody must've goofed up in the retail department.
To answer the question of how grinding works in Sonic Advance, you don't just jump on the start of the rail. You also need to use the Insta-Shield to initiate the grind...For Sonic, anyways. Amy just requires down and B.
Oh finally. I remember playing the Ngauge version on old 2000s phones back in the day. It wasn't the best way to experience the first game but I managed, I guess.
What a coincidence! I finally got a physical copy of this game not that long ago, and last week I managed to get the Super Sonic ending (hate those Special Stages).
2:20 Sonic, Knuckles and Amy can ride rails by landing on the corner of the rail right before it starts going down. If you try to land on the flat part or diagonal part or decide to play as Tails you fall right through. P.S. Are you recording off the Wii U version? The game looks weirdly washed out.
This is a pleasant surprise. The Sonic Adventure games are up next, and they’re being recorded by good old Johnny (well at least the two good ones for now). This should be a fun double playthrough. (I guess he just ignores the haunting of the inevitable Crash 2 N-Sane playthrough recording now. Eh that’s fine, as long as somebody from BSC records that version of the game whenever they remember, it’s alright.)
I’m confused on Johnny saying he won’t record Advance 3 since he doesn’t like the game, since when has disliking a game stopped you from recording it? You’ve done X6, Shadow the Hedgehog and Ted did Pikmin 2 & Pokemon Platinum
@@shpladau well Antdude did defend the Complietionist & jump on the cancelling Chuggaaconroy bandwagon & as a result ended up on the wrong side of history. It’s made me loose respect for him.
Sonic Advance 1 was one of the earlier games I got while a handheld-exclusive kid. I probably had played Rush some of the other DS games like Chronicles and the Classic Collection before getting to these games. I don't think I ever finished them, but I did play a lot of Advance 1 and 2. 3, I don't like the level design for.
Sonic Advance 1 was the only one I vibed with. 2 was such a tedious grind if you wanted the chaos emeralds. Not to mention the... I think it was 4th boss that could instakill. With 3 I just don't really remember it beyond the team combo thing.
This was my school bus game coming home from school. Yeah the later levels aren't as good but I do feel a sense of accomplishment when I beat them like I'm good enough to handle the level design...then in 2013 I perfected sonic 06.🤣 Advance 2 I also love and yeah same reasons. Advance 3 I played the first act and had no interest in playing any more of it
