You should try reviewing sonic colors DS it’s like advance and rush with a sonic colors spin
I bought Sonic Advance 2 along with Pokémon Ruby back in March 2003.
Especially in Sky Canyon
When are you gonna do Sonic advance 3
My ONLY sonic advanced experience is with a flash game called “Ultimate flash sonic”
the best sonic advanced game
Was that the one were shadow was playable
Rtg u can play it online
anvelix channel yes
RTG I'm not alone!!!
"You don't see that at the Olympics."
True, but you do see a remix of Leaf Forest in Sochi 2014! Just a nice tip-off if you wanna listen.
I like both of them, but you can't compare any of the Advance games. All three of them have only an artstyle and a title in common.
Sonic Advance 1 is basically a classic Sonic game.
Sonic Advance 2 is a precursor to the boost formula.
Sonic Advance 3 is most similar to Knuckles Chaotix.
This man speaks the truth.
Yes you can. You can compare the gameplay and see whether or not the new additions improve the gameplay, if the levels are designed better, or if the bosses are better.
@@GottaBeFrank You can, but considering that all three games were not even designed with the same core gameplay style you are essentially arguing the flavor of apples to oranges.
Very true
Respectfully both yes and no.
Yes in the fact that BECAUSE they are the series for advance, you can judge them on how well they utilized the GBA's designs and what they add to the line of GBA's capabilities to handle Sonic.
No in the fact that one game doesn't really have a connection to the next (if you take off Advance 2 or 3 you would hardly be able to tell they were a series together). The fact that they take the core of the games and change them could make them viewable as three standalone games, and when taken that game each IS able to stand up on its own.
I personally agree with you for the most part, but KC3&K does bring a very valid point that's worth addressing. Lets also not forget the Sonic community (not anyone in this comment thread in particular but in general) compare the old 2D to the 3D all the time anyway (inbetween the fan art of course =P ).
Honestly, I think one thing the Modern games could learn from Advance 2 is how the boost implemented. In Advance 2 instead of tapping a button to do the boost, you actually have to collect rings and build speed, which of course are the two main things associated with the Sonic brand. It’s more about earning speed than just hitting a “go fast” button, it really reminds me of the flow and the reward of speed from the classic games. I would love to see this replicated in a new Modern game and fan games like Green Hill Paradise Act 2 and Sonic Islands have proven that it could work in 3D.
The Boost level design wouldn't exactly work with that adjustment, though.
the point of the boost in modern games is to serve as an attack and speed shield. the boost doesn't make you go too much faster, but the point was to have a dash move. the boost mode in advance 2 is basically the speedcap like the super peel out from CD or the boost mode afterimage in Rush. everything is perfect the way it is, let there be balance.
Fun fact: at the end of the level when you run past the goal, you're actually supposed to BRAKE to get more points than to keep running past. Give it a try.
As a heads up Advance 3 is a story continuation of Sonic Battle. You won’t be lost but the ending won’t be as impactful
I know about the connection, I forgot about it though.
This game will forever hold a special place in my heart.
*I can't wait to see it get ripped to shreds*
"This is cream and her God of destruction cheese"
LOL THAT IS SO TRUE.
Chese:*is following cream inocently*
Eggman/robotnik: why do I hear boss music?
Unpopular opinion time! I honestly think this game has the best bosses in the series. They force you to stay on your toes, and react fats, while also always making you decide between going on the offensive to attack, or staying back to nab oncoming rings before making your move. I can understand why these bosses aren’t for everyone, but I think they do a great job at exemplifying Sonic’s speed during combat.
I can't thank you enough for telling these facts
~7:55 "And here we are with Zone 3, or should I say the best zone of them all."
*sigh* Why don't we see Music Plant Zone much? Seriously, you'd think it'd at least be referenced in fan creations, but nope. I feel like I'm the only one who remembers it sometimes. Which is unfortunate, because it's my favorite zone in the series.

@@Walmart_self_checkout your understanding of Mario is in another castle
I agree, this is definitely the best Advance game, and easily the most underrated one. I love and how fast and fluid it is tbh. My only issue with the game tbh is the special rings, they can frick themselves. And the fact you have to get Emeralds with EVERY character to 100% the game... Other than that though, it's pretty grand.
Also, underrated opinion: Sky Canyon and Techno Base are my favourite zones.
People only hate Sky Canyon because of the *mandatory* up trick. But honestly I like when games have segments like that sometimes.
I dislike sky canyon for the reasons stated in the video. Especially that dumb cloud layer.
Garrulous64 Fair enough, I see a lot of people say the same things. Doesn't really stop me from loving it though (apart from that boss, which I can actually agree is a massive pain).
Sky canyon to yourself, but Music Plant is way better
Advanced Sonic is Sonic 4 but with original music, level design and better story. ~~or perhaps because sonic advance literally looks like sonic 4's sonic~~
Sonic 3 and knuckles is sonic 4
You forgot good physics
@@redbool1115
Sonic 4 Episode 1 had terrible physics.
Sonic 4 Episode 2 had better physics than Episode 1, and the Advance series is made by Dimps too, so if you think of Sonic 4, remember Sonic Advance 1-3, and just ask, "How could they have gone wrong?"
@@dolomite1067 Oh that's an easy one the project was given hardly any money meaning to cut cost had Dimps to reuse the Sonic Rush Engine which was build for the Boost formula and doesn't work all that well with Classic Sonic like level design. That and apparently were the also requested to pander to nostalgia hard with Sonic 4.
So beside the over use of the Homing attack in level design are most of 4's issues born out of executive decisions done behind closed doors.
@@esthiem4388 no is not

I absolutley love the music for the 2nd game.
Yeah, me too. The soundtrack is god-tier.
Wow, I do not usually watch commentaries, but this one is so entertaining! I am glad that I learned some new move sets and paths. Not to mention, some of the puns made me laugh. So glad that you are giving this great triology recognition. Keep it up, man!
Thank you! I'm a big fan of your remixes actually, i'm surprised to see you here!
my epileptic friend loved Techno Base so much he's thrashing around on the floor in joy!
Sonic Advance 3 is one of the best 2D Sonic games ever made, if you enjoy a good blend of speed and platforming. It's so underrated.
Cream: I will show you the meaning of pain!!.
*Proceed to yeet chao*
I never had 1 or 3, but this game was my favorite of all time as a kid. I remember 100% completing the game and resetting at least 3 times. I loved the running bosses, they’re some of my favorite boss fights in any 2D platformer. The merry-go-round was actually my favorite.
“This is all about speed” *falls into bottomless pit*
To be honest, the Sonic Advance 2 Boss fights are something I really prefered over the other games.
I always interpreted it as Knuckles being trapped inside the boss cockpit. It looks like he's punching the glass to try and escape. I don't think he's operating the controls because Eggman doesn't have an animation like that.
It might not be the best Advance title, but holy crap it's just filled to the brim with style. Those animated cutscenes look pretty sick, the animations Sonic has in-game are really smooth and the trick system is awesome.
I had no idea Sonic Rush Adventure's Sonic was just his Advance 2 self, huh.
3:14 "Your character gets *_YEETED_* into action"
Always cracks me up!! 😂😂😂
Nice review garrulous! The things I like about advance 2 are the levels, the soundtrack, the mechanics, and CREAM AND CHEESE.
*I just like all of them*
I played this game so much as a kid, I never even knew there WERE special stages.
Alright, done with the video now... I got a LOT of laughs out of this. Thanks, Garrulous! I have to say, I agree about the Special Rings... As much as I like the challenge, 1. This kind of challenge would be better for unlocking something completely optional like Hyper Sonic, and 2. If they were going to do THAT, they should've made the stages a LOT better level design-wise. I like the idea of getting a group of collectibles all in one life on paper, but it requires some sort of AMAZING level design (and character movement) in practice to feel challenging but also fair and not frustrating to the player.
adding character's heads over the Fs, Us, Cs, K, and S was a nice touch.
are you kiddin, 7th boss is hella fun to speedrun, my fav one
When I played this game when I younger Sky Canyon was a run killer for me as Sonic,and then I switched to Tails and got to Techno base and the Egg-go round was a run killer for me as the 2 tailed fox
I'm late, let me thing of something to say...
Dimps when they they said that they were going to make things "A LOT" worse: *Hand rubbing and sinister smile intensifies*
FINALLY A RUclipsR THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THE AIR DASH
The TRUE final boss looks like a shrimp
Awesome video!! Even though some jokes fell flat for me and your delivery felt a little bit forced, this is one good review 👏
I believe that sonic advance 3 is the best game because of the amazing music and that I like it that 2 characters can partner up
i love just how much he tries to stay in control and dont swear
on purpose
“I mean, sonic advance 1 only had MINOR childhood trauma *shows Water level boss*” same
Sonic Advance 3 is actually my favourite
The Special World access is what killed it.
If it were easier on the player to get to, more people would love it
Will you review sonic advance 3 right?
He just did now.
This was a year ago
Good review, but you have a lot to learn on how to play Sonic Advance 2. Especially the bosses. I can do the first boss within 8 seconds. I've even done Ice Paradise boss within 4 seconds! Haha... Although screw Sky Canyon's boss.
Edit: I noticed you did it in 8, the same way I did. Somehow I did it quicker lol
Coming from someone who's never played the game before, The bosses are kinds tedious and frustrating. It's kinda the same way I feel about Unleashed, i don't want to go back to try to get better because I didn't have fun the first time unfortunately.
But thanks! lol I don't know why my time was slower, I guess i'm just really bad.
@@Garrulous64Git gud
i just noticed that all the sonic 1 zones have been reincarnated or just part of a zone in this game
leaf forest zone is yet another green hill remake,
hot crater zone is basically marble zone if it was fun,
music plant zone has bumpers everywhere like spring yard,
sky canyon zone has see saws and lots of pits like starlight zone,
techno base is literally scrap brain if it was a disco party and it had less murder,
and there are no water zones so labyrinth zone doesn't exist here
I actually tested that once - I went through the stages of Advance 2, and all individual stage always had less than 10, sometimes less than 5 occurrences of having to do anything other than holding right... this really _is_ where "hold right to win" became true. At least until later in the game, where it just becomes Dick Move City.
If only this game didn't have boss fights, I might genuinely like it more than the first two genesis games.
Yeah, I love all of them- especially because I can actually play the game, I'm looking at you Sonic Forces
But...you can actually play Sonic Forces
@@cookieblobber you get what I'm trying to say, like....I can actually move and not press the Y button for the whole level
You can move without pressing the Y button in Sonic Forces
@@esthiem4388 that's not what I'm saying- I'm saying that in sonic forces- I press one button and the level is done in a minute or less-
Then don't press the Y button, avoid the wisp capsules or use up your boost and then avoid the wisp capsules
I remembered back when I saw that Advance 2 trailer on the Mega Collection. I only had Advance 3 at the time, so I was dying to get my hands on the prequels, especially 2. Nowadays after playing all three, I think this is the weakest of the three. That’s not saying it’s bad the game’s still good, but the speed is really the only thing that the game got going for it.
P.S. some of the bosses and the chaos emerald system can die in a fire.
Periodt
The boss battles were actually the best part of the game when I played😆I really felt like I was Sonic the headgehog. And also they didn't factor in the landing feat in death battle the second time around

awesome review garroulous and yes the music was amaizng from the second game tbh i like all the music from the advance series especially the second advance
I can see the bosses in Sonic BTS/ATS took lots of inspiration in this game
Excellent review. I like that you don't linger on your puns after making them, it makes it much more bearable.
I’m suprised that Cyber plant or whatever didn’t get in trouble for seizure inducing visuals
I'd imagine it wouldn't take too much to do Kevin French's voice mang. Spot on video.
The advanced series can be pretty rough, but the music and the good feeling you get from getting better at the game make up for a lot of the bs moments for me. Looking forward to your sonic advanced 3 review.
Great video, I've been really enjoying your content
In regards to your comment on why do games often end up with frustrating and unfun aspects: I think it usually stems from the *idea* being fun in theory, and so the mechanic/level/boss is coded and implemented only for it to turn out to be frustrating when playtested. Unfortunately, the amount of time and effort put into it was so much that the developers would rather try and improve it *if* they have time rather than outright remove and replace the feature.
I got an idea for a Super Mario 3D World mod based off of Sonic Advance 2: At the start of the game, Sonic is running along with Tails and Knuckles close behind. After they rescue Cream, Cream explains to them that Eggman has kidnapped her mom along with a family of flickies. So Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles set off with Cream to rescue her mom and the flickies. The first seven worlds are based off of the seven zones in Sonic Advance 2. World 1 is based off of Leaf Forest Zone, World 2 is based off of Hot Crater Zone, World 3 is based off of Music Plant Zone, World 4 is based off of Ice Paradise Zone, World 5 is based off of Sky Cannon Zone, World 6 is based off of Techno Base Zone, and World 7 is based off of Egg Utopia Zone. Each level in the game is designed in a way in which while you have the option to run straight to the end of the level, you also have the option of going around and exploring the level. The player set up in this mod is similar to that of the player set up in Super Mario 3D World. At the end of each final level in the first six worlds, you free one of the flickies. As a gratitude, each of the flickies would open up a portal to the next zone. At the end of World 7, you free Cream's mom. However, just when you think you have beaten the game and Sonic and company can call it a day, Eggman shows up in the Super Egg Robo Z which inhales the flickies and Cream's mom and flies away. Tails, Knuckles, and Cream become very distraught because they felt there is no way to stop Eggman now. Sonic tells them they need to keep fighting for the flickies, Cream's mom, and the world. At that moment, a special ring conveniently appears. When Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Cream go into the ring, it takes them to World 8 which is basically Eggmanland in space split up into 8 different levels. Each of the first seven levels has one of the Chaos Emeralds. You need to collect all of the Chaos Emeralds to unlock the final level. The final level has you fight all of the bosses you faced in the game. It then leads to a chase scene where you need to outrun the Super Egg Robo Z while it throws its attacks at you. When you reach the end of the stage, you see a capsule containing the flickies and Cream's mom. But before you can open the capsule, the Super Egg Robo Z inhales it and flies away. Knowing they must stop Eggman at all costs, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Cream power themselves up with the Chaos Emeralds and go after the Super Egg Robo Z. The battle against the Super Egg Robo Z is a cross between the one in Sonic Advance 2 and Sonic Advance 2's true final boss. After you defeat the Super Egg Robo Z, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Cream grab hold of the capsule, lower it to the ground, and free Cream's mom and the flickies. Cream's mom thanks Sonic and company for saving them and the game's story reaches its conclusion. After you complete the main game, you unlock a bonus world where you get to play as Amy. To unlock each of the levels in the bonus world, you need to collect a certain amount of pink rings which are found in each of the levels in the main game.
at 14:53 that's how I feel for every game I play that dose some really dumb design like that.
also I never played the Sonic Advance Games at all, but this one sounds like a off putting mess, like it's one of those types of games that has some good things to it and looks fun, but when you actually play it... yeah that's when all crud breaks loose. --doesn't stop me from trying this game eventually--
This was always my favorite Sonic advance game, liked the other two, but this one was my go to Sonic game. Sonic Battle was also my shit, loved that game lol. They need to put all the advanced games and battle in a collection and put it on the...drum roll please..switch lol.
looking at sonic advance 2 makes me want another advance game. but i don't really know how much less why.
also look at tails' eye at 22:27. *W U T*
There is always the Sonic Rush games to play
Fun Fact: Sonic has a neck it is just really small. When Sonic sneezes in the opening of Sonic CD you can see his smol necc.
smol neck sonic
I'm a year late, but I want to say a few things:
-Do long videos. They're a lot of fun to sit down and watch! Especially on you're channel since you're fun to listen to.
-Did you know after the goal post you're supposed to press in the opposite direction to stop as soon as possible? You'll get more points for it, but you still want to pass it going as fast as possible!
I didn't know that until way later either.
I didn't know about the goal post thing, actually. That's interesting. And thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Finally! I met you thanks to my feed recommending me your first Sonic Advance review and it was great and funny! I don't see that much channels doing content about Sonic anymore, that's why I subscribed and I've seen a lot of your videos and couldn't wait for this one.
Btw Sonic Advance 3 was my favorite of the three when I was a kid, I'm hella hyped to see that review too!
Yeah I hated the bosses as a kid too, Especially that ice one which you had no trouble with lol.
Advance 2 is my least favourite of the series. I still got all the emeralds with every character as a kid cos I guess I had no life
I don't think i had the patience to get all the Emeralds when i was a kid. I know I don't now lol.
This was the first Sonic game I ever played and it changed my life forever
frankpro53 me too
Say what you want but Advance 2 has the best Super Sonic Transformation scene in the entire series.
I love all 3 but advance 2 was my first and favorite. 💫Hot crater is a lot of fun to play through. I like to fight the egg frog with tails because it's funny to be able to fly upside down. The final boss rush stage does have a MegaMan game like feel to it. XD The thing I disliked the most in this game was the special rings collecting.
Hell no. Sonic Advance 2 is a nightmare to go through. Emeralds are more frustrating than fun to collect, the bosses were designed by someone on drugs especially the final boss rush.
It sure does have the best music and most badass ending of all the Sonic games for the GBA.
Hey man, just wanted to say that I just found your channel a few days ago and I've been loving all your content so far. Keep up the amazing work mate, you're a great lad.
Is it weird that I imagine an older Tails when listening to this guy's voice?
I... can actually see that now. Someone get this man into fan comic dubbing.
another game that breaks the "sequel=bad" rule would have to be Littlebigplanet 2, improved on the first game in every way possible
Sonic Advance 2 is my least favorite Sonic Advance game, with Sonic Advance 3 being my most favorite, and Sonic Advance 1 in the middle.
THIS IS MY OPINION DON'T @ ME
I agree. Advance 1 & 3 are very good but I didn't care for Advance 2.
ElectrikStatik 900 Pretty much the same with me, but I still think this game is decent.
@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 Ikr? And in Sonic Advance 3, SEGA had to fix the gameplay style to add some platforming like there was in the first game, and make sure it's not all about speed like Sonic Advance 2.
@@kingbash6466 Understandable. I'd rather play Sonic Advance 2 than Sonic '06 or Boom.
Agreed. Sonic Advance 2 is at least playable. Sonic Boom was boring and Sonic 06 is so broken that I question how I liked it as a kid.

same
I agree
I put my SA2 cartrage over water, dried it, and managed to unlock everything--and I mean everything including having every single chaos emerald for every character--in the game after some hue-bugs in a week's time.
This was interesting. I think making these longer can be better for the pacing. That way, you can spend a good amount of time on each zone, and don't have to condense your thoughts on any just to fit within a time limit. Ultimately, I think you should just make these videos as long as feels appropriate for the topic you're discussing.
As for the game itself, I understand how a focus on speed might sound good for a Sonic game, but 2D Sonic can't really thrive on that alone, and I feel that the focus on speed in Sonic Advance 2 is to the game's detriment. I have a similar issue with plain ol' Sonic 2 as well. I think putting too much emphasis on speed harms the level design, because each level ends up being designed for going fast first, and the other important aspects of Sonic level design become just an afterthought.
That of course is to say nothing of the way special stages were handled. I think I know what they were going for though. I think the designers wanted players to plan out routes through each stage so they would grab each medal in one straight shot. In practice however, it just ends up clashing with the speed focused gameplay, because to plan routes around the medals, you have to know where they are first, and even then, some of them are placed in spots that require you to completely break your flow, which is also at odds with the speed focus.
I could say more about it, but this comment is getting long as is, and if I were to go further, I'd probably be better off just writing a review of the game myself. I suppose I'll end this by saying that I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the game, and I look forward to your inevitable Sonic Advance 3 video.

I like Advance 2 most in the advance trilogy but I like them all in general
The true final boss looks like a shrimp
“Thankfully there are no land animals in the capsule, or else Sonic would have to choose who lives and who dies.”
Makes you wonder about the turtles you freed in Sky Chase in Sonic 2.
He chose to let them die
The third is the most and idk why. The bosses are more tolerable the tag teams are fun to mess around with and the special stage requirements are more generous than the 2nd . And most of all the music is even better then than the 2nd. One thing I hate is the over use of crushers
Honestly,the knuckles boss fight and the egg go round....pissed me off,even if I played on an emulator,however the bomb pissed me of till I cheesed it,without using gravity...it was oof
NGL boss rush was kinda fun,well despite the last 3,the final boss was more difficult than it looked but was not too difficult,didn't get the space boss but I'm fine with that,I am happy the final boss wasn't the hardest.
6:12 "I promise I'm not a bad person" 😂😂
Music Plant Zone was the only real zone I played when I had this game, I didn't care too much for the ones before, and I was too dumb to finish the rest.
Definitely my favorite entry in the Advance trilogy, and I loved those boss battles, wish more Sonic games did that kind of structure where you're running and trying to time your jumps appropriately, actually adding a decent level of challenge to boss battles for once. Never thought they were too tough though, and they were always fair to me.
I'm pretty sure you didn't mention the Homing Attack when you do the insta-shield near an enemy
It's an unnecessary addition. Most of the time it just caused me to lose rings because you have to be so close to the enemies.
My history with this game wasn’t very good, unlike most normal people, I played advance 2 and 3 on an emulator on my iPod touch. So that wasn’t a good start and with me not collecting a single emerald and desperately struggling to defeat the fourth boss, I raged quit. But yeah advance 3, really polarizing and you’ll definitely see why.
I've played Sonic Adventure 1 and saw Cream flying by up in the air before Sonic/Tails were about to enter the Casino (maybe after, I forget details sometimes) and get one of the Chaos Emeralds, and I always thought why was she in the game? I probably never got to find out because I've never collected all the emblems in the game, but who knows.
Sonic unleashed is one of my favorite Sonic games. But what I didn't know was that MEDALS EXISTED IN THE GAME UNTIL I SAW THIS VIDEO!
The Sonic Advance trilogy deserves the Sonic Origins treatment with maybe Sonic Battle as DLC (Or just an unlockable)
Sonic Advance 1: Closest to the classics. Pretty good all around but a bit short.
Sonic Advance 2: Doubles the Speed and doubles the fun. Bosses are not so good tho.
Sonic Advance 3: a balance between the last 2 + continues the story of Sonic Battle. Pretty good, but it drags a bit too much.
