Sonic Advance 2 - Tumblr Posts
Today marks the 20th anniversary to Sonic Advance 2! 🥳🎉
Which also marks the first ever appearance of the lovely duo, Cream and Cheese, as well as Cream's mother, Vanilla!
Honestly one of my favorite Sonic Games. Each one of the Advance trilogy games feel extremely different and hit a different aspect of Sonic. Sonic Advance 1 is the best platformer of the three, but Sonic Advance 2 feels the fastest. There’s a constant emphasis on speed in a way neither 1 or 3 hit. It rewards flying through the stages and has less speed traps than most of the other ones, though I admit Hot Crater Zone’s speed trap got me a few times when I was younger. Sure “Just hold D-Pad right to win” but there was more to it than that. It still holds up to me imo, and I’m lucky enough to still have two working GBA’s and a Battle Connector. The Boss fights are also unique in a way I haven’t seen except in a few final fights in the Boost era. I admittedly was surprised but quickly got into the swing of them, and find them quite fun. In addition the physics of the trilogy were my favorite, and the only physics I like as much are either classic Sonic, or Mania.
My only complaint with the game itself is how hard it was to unlock Amy, and her control scheme. Get all 7 chaos emeralds 4 times as all characters was way too hard for me when I picked it up, it took me until 2020 or so to FINALLY unlock her, and… I found I preferred her control in Sonic Advance 1…
I think the whole series is underrated and overlooked by the rest of the fandom. I’m pretty sure it’s “Adventure Era” but I rarely see anyone talk about them, especially weird since I see a LOT of talk about Sonic Rush, which is essentially Sonic Advance 4, and while I love Rush… the Trilogy plays better and I personally loved being able to play as Sonic AND his friends.
Tl;dr: This is one of the Sonic Games of All Time, and matches with the Classic Series energy in the Adventure Era
