Sonic Advance 2

Sonic Advance 2 is a continuation of one of the most playable two-dimensional platformers released on a Nintendo portable console. Once again we take control over the title hedgehog, although four other playable characters have been prepared. These include Knuckles and Amy. Continuation introduces many important improvements to the gameplay. The changes included both the appearance of individual levels and the quality of the graphics used. This title was created, of course, exclusively for GameBoy Advance owners.

This time there are 15 levels to overcome, embedded in seven different zones. Apparently, it may seem that this is a small number of maps. However, the boards are incomparably more complex than those from the first part of the game. Our task is, of course, to collect the rings appearing on the screen. This time they were divided into several groups. Standard rings only allow you to gain additional life, so that we can extend the gameplay time. However, it is more important to collect rare rings. Raising them allows you to unlock a number of bonuses. The same applies to the extremely rare emeralds. Each board has seven such objects. Finding them allows you to unlock hidden play modes.

During the game, be careful of course, the traps appearing on the screen. From time to time we also bump into enemies. On the other hand, bosses appear less frequently. Each of the playable characters has been endowed with different skills. As a result, when approaching the same stages, it is necessary to develop a new tactics of action. In addition to the standard game mode, there are time challenges, as well as multiplayer for two people. It is also possible to connect the game to Gamecube. In this way we join a friendly mini-game, i.e. the upbringing of Chao creatures. Visually, the game looks much better than its predecessor, which was actually a conversion, not a completely new product. The changes included both character animation and background animation, which are now more detailed.
