Sonic Advance is considered good. It was Dimps' first game ever. Yet, Sonic 4.

[@jingusflorpus4274]

Star Bird 🦢 they had other games before it, I think it was just their first game under the name Dimps, before that they also made sonic pocket adventure and some other stuff

[@autistichades5552]

I think the reason as to why Sonic 4 sucks generally is that during its development, Sonic Colours was also being made, and Dimps had to work on two games, Sonic 4 Ep1 and Sonic Colours DS, and considering Colours is a mainstream title with more to work with, they put more effort into that game, leaving Sonic 4 in the dust, and it clearly shows. I might've enjoyed Sonic 4 for a little bit, but I played Sonic Colours DS non-stop.

[@JoSephGD]

Man, this video sends me back. I used to play this game religiously when I was a kid, it was my first taste of sonic and it instantly got me hooked. though i find it kinda crazy how i somehow never found out about sonic's airdash in this game until about a decade later

[@Garrulous64]

Dude, same. I only noticed it was a thing because of the video I used to find the special stages. I had to visit Sonic Retro to figure out how to do it.

[@starcoin5653]

My personal head canon is that Super Sonic spent those extra days in space to collect rings so that he could actually make it back to Earth?/Mobius? since he was short on them after defeating Eggman

I was in 6th grade when I had this game. Back in the days where you get a new game every 6 months. I managed to beat this game with all the characters and played the hell out of the chao garden to where I bought all the instruments and goodies they sold there.

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

I really enjoyed Amy's playstyle, precisely because it added a new challenge. I'm also really glad some awesome rom hackers created versions of the classic Mega Drive games with Amy's moveset ported over, they're really fun too. It's weird, I suck at a lot of games and rarely go for hard modes, but certain ones like playing as Amy, or the hard modes on GBA Metroids work really well.

[@thelightspeeddash6329]

players who always hold down after a spring will most likely not like playing as Amy because they can't keep their rings.

[@striderzvezda7420]

@pixel girl. I too enjoyed Amy's gameplay for similar reasons, especially since her having an entirely unique moveset that recicles none of Sonic's moves is something I felt added a stronger incentive to play as her than Tails or Knuckles. IMO, she was the best character to play as in Advance thanks to her superior hammer attacks and jumping skills. Personally, the only people that have a problem with her are those players that rely on the spindash to start building speed.

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

@@striderzvezda7420, someone needs to hack her into Sonic Rush 😁 Right there! Ride on!

[@thelightspeeddash6329]

Wow I guess everyone hates hard mode. Personally, I wouldn't mind a character that can't spin - I encourage it. We have enough characters that can do everything Sonic can do.

[@MehDudeable]

I actually liked that Amy couldn't spin. It allowed the developers to craft a moveset that wasn't just an easy copy and paste spin attack, giving more focus on what Amy CAN do that others CAN'T. Hard-mode? Perhaps to those who aren't particular fans of Amy. A hinderance? No.

ngl this version sonic is my favorite one

[@DaybreakTownGSA]

Amy's Hammer Jump is extremely useful in the ice zone boss, she doesnt need to jump onto the platforms to breathe, the Hammer Jump sends her just over the water line Also, the spindash replacement is essentially a tackle, the slide on the ground damages enemies it hits It's definitely not as useful as the spin dash, but it has its charm and makes Amy's gameplay more unique The problem is that anyone picking up the game would think Amy is the Designated Easy Mode of the game, since her Adventure story and Team Rose's story in Heroes were both the Easy Mode, but in Advance, shes pretty much the hard mode Playing as her is interesting though since it goes from a Sonic speed-based platformer to an actual traditional platformer with Sonic-style levels, where you have to consider your movements much more carefully

[@eMorphized]

Two things: Amy can hit springs with her hammer to be launched a lot higher/farther. And I'd still like to see an Advance 3 video.

I can do it fine now, but it scarred me back then. And then when I got past Angel Island, I got scarred by the final boss too... I must've spent a couple hours' worth trying to beat it.

[@hortinus]

Sonic Advance 1 had the best level design in the advance series.

[@MrKevosmin]

I would love for them to remake the trilogy

[@Surgemaster2012]

Personally I like Amy's gameplay style. The entire point of her playstyle is knowing the level design and really your doing the exact same thing as Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, the only key difference is approaching obstacles differently. Amy also completely destroys every single boss in the game with ease. I just find it a bit offputting that people only write her off solely because she doesn't do what the other three can already do rather than view her as her own character with her own strengths and weaknesses. It really comes off as an inability to view past surface level complaints. Really Amy's only real problem for me is the lack of spin-dash can make getting to certain places annoying, but otherwise I adapt just fine with her. Any time I'd go back to play this game I'd just exclusively go to play Amy, only using Tails and Knuckles for Chaos emeralds or just for fun. It's funny because her playstyle is her Sonic Adventure playstyle in the 2D realm, but improved over what her Adventure gameplay lacked. You'd think people would give credit to that considering Amy's always put in a damned if she does or doesn't situation. If anything I find Sonic to be the worst character outside of first timers or people who want a more traditional experience. Otherwise there's no reason to use Sonic when Amy's versatile and handles bosses the best, and Tails/Knuckles have everything Sonic has but are just better. Sonic also suffers the worst at fighting bosses as they take longer to kill and has to resort to a much slower method when dealing with them, especially the Ice Mountain boss.
