    Hey Jirard! It was a great video, but you might want to know that Sonic Advance was not actually developed by Sonic Team, but instead by Dimps, who made the entire Advance series as well as all of the Rush games.

    i feel people don't give amy enough credit in these games. i never once seen anyone mention all of her skills, while discussing this game. for example, you didn't mention that, if you hit springs with her hammer, the height the spring catapults you into the air doubles. additionally, while she can't jump into enemies the same way the others can, if you press b + down while in the air, she spins her hammer around herself, allowing her to damage enemies from above just as easily as any other character, while at the same time having the additional bonus of retaining her momentum and given her additional height, if she lands on top of an item box while spinning. honestly, given just how many useful abilities she has, she might even be one of my favourites to play as.

    • @Wernershnitzl
      @Wernershnitzl ปีที่แล้ว +8

      It wasn’t my first Sonic game. However I noticed it in the game section back in the early 00’s and I had to have it. I was a Sega supporter who also had a GBC and GBA for Pokémon and only Pokémon. I was an extreme Nintendo HATER back then only liking Pokémon because of it being handheld. Dream Cast was on its deathbed and I needed something besides Sonic Adventure and playing Genesis games on that clunky Nomad that I got from Toys R Us that was also a battery eater. So when I seen Sonic was on a Nintendo handheld that I mostly just played Pokémon on I ended up getting it. It was so much fun! It was like a mash up of classic Sonic and modern Sonic except there wasn’t any differentiation between them back then other than 2D and 3D. And I really loved 2D Sonic gameplay and I loved the modern Sonic design. These and the Rush games for DS were truly special. Though Rush came out when I was nearly grown.

    10:51 The Advance games (including Pocket Adventure and Rush) were all developed by DIMPS, who were ex-SNK, with Naka and the rest of Sonic Team merely supervising as Heroes was being worked on by the main team.
    13:19 This is actually what the A button is for. Diving centers your character in the middle, so it’s easier to collect those rings laced between the bombs. It’s very trial-and-error at first thanks to depth perception. Initially, I also didn’t realize that you’re supposed to trick *after* you hit the boxes, and that collecting the Chao in the stages grant you extra lives.
    Fun fact! Sonic Advance holds the honor of being the first third-party game to make use of the GCN-GBA Link Cable, being a 2001 release. The very first game to support it is Animal Crossing’s GCN release, that same year.

    Tip for those special stages - the spin move makes your hit box bigger abuse it for rings until you get better at controlling your character because depth perception is bad in those stages.

    My favourite game on GBA. I loved the music in this game so much. This was a real reimagining of 2D Sonic games. So disappointing that they never re released these games or tried making new ones.

    I remember I wasn't able to finish this game because there was a specific jump I couldn't make with Amy in a rocket ship level. Amy plays a lot different than the other characters, so as a kid couldn't figure out how to use that hammer high-jump move, which was needed to get past that part.

    Big ups to Dimps who worked with Sonic Team on not just the Advance games, but also Sonic Rush and it's predecessors (yes, Sonic Colors 3DS and Sonic Generations 3DS are Rush games). Hopefully Jirard decides to follow through as the GBA and DS titles really don't get enough recognition amongst Sonic Fans.

      Colors DS And Generations: Blue Time aren't true Rush games. They lack the trick system and the emphasis on being stylish

    This is the one game I got exposed to Sonic back when it released on the gba which I got on Christmas the same year. I was around 6 or 7 and the very special game I hold dear to me. Everything from gameplay, soundtrack, sprite work was and is still perfect.

    Sonic Advance 2 is in my top 3 games, and my favorite 2D platforms of all time. What a fantastic trilogy this is

  • @IgnatiusBlaze4
    @IgnatiusBlaze4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    10:54 Ok I did say this already in a longer comment but yes this is like Sonic 1, they were getting their footing. Partially cause new platform, but also... yeah it's not Sonic Team, it's Dimps, they made this trilogy (not sure about Battle which again you might need to play before 3), Rush games I'm pretty sure all 2d handheld Sonics going forward were handled all or mostly by them, even Colors 3ds was. Advance 2... smooth, and proves yeah Sonic does better with sequels like he did in Sonic 2 on the Genesis, again no spoilers but... I'm like 99% sure you will love it more... completionist criteria aside... it is a bit more grindy you will need all emeralds for all characters for some reason, but that's about the only flaw I can think of. Also the 1st appearance of Cream and a couple other characters without spoiling.

    @thesib3053 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm pretty sure Sonic Advanced was my first Sonic game. But I remember Cream being a playable character, and she was super easy mode. She had Tail's flight power and could just have Cheese auto attack enemies on screen by pressing B button.
    Could be remembering a different Sonic game as it's been forever since I played it.

    Just to point out some things in this video. The game does save after every act or at least every zone, so you don't have to do it in one sitting. The other thing to point out is that the Sonic Advance games aren't developed by Sonic Team, but by Dimps. Sonic Team were more of a supervisory role.

    6:32... this will change and be a grind in Advance 2, not that it's really necessary outside of Sonic, as like this it unlocks a true final boss... but without spoiling Jirard... yes you will need them for all characters to be a true Advance 2 completionist. Hopefully no one else spoils it, it is a grind, it's kind of a lame completion bonus especially if you... not going to say more, anything I say could spoil stuff, NO ONE ELSE SPOIL IT FOR HIM, ADVANCE 2 IS AN AMAZING GAME, if you loved this Jirard you will love that, Sonic always does better with sequels. Advance 3 though you do not need to collect them all with every character... however I will also say Battle is semi important for Advance 3's plot, so maaaaybe you'll want to play Sonic Battle before then... which is a slog to complete I still haven't to this day. Advance 3 isn't as good as 2, but is still good in its' own right, and has MANY different ways to play, can't wait for you to umm... try all the combos is all I'll say, DANG IT'S SO HARD NOT TO SPOIL STUFF, I'm just so excited and surprised after all these years you know nothing of these games.
    2 Doesn't suffer from an identity crisis, and this is why I said Sonic does better with sequels. They figured out what they wanted to do by 2, and it becomes a much better, and funner Sonic experience. 3 ehhh miiight, but still think it's a good game. I'd also see if you can check out the Flash version of Advance 2, not the complete game, but it had Shadow in it, don't think this is a spoiler as he isn't in the Advanced games outside of Battle, but if anyone wanted to, if it still exists, there it is, Ultimate Sonic Flash.
