Sonic Advance - All Special Stages

[@donkeycheese8098]

This man is a legend.He got through special stage 7....

[@cliffturbo2146]

I almost thought it was impossible the first time I tried to beat it. I still have no idea how to get into the yellow circles.

[@vins2030]

CliffTurbo to get through the yellow circle you have to boost early so you can go through the middle of it then time it right

[@cliffturbo2146]

@мeɢαɢαмer 2625 Ah, all right. Thanks! And you too, VinsXX

[@Bluesit32]

I did as well. Save state scumming the enter way, mind you. This was years ago. Now I'm struggling with stage 3.

The depth is awful with this, i can't even see when i line up with the rings at all, when i think i'm placed correctly they just go through me... you need to be so perfect in this its ridicilous...

[@DarkAnomaly]

The key is to push B to spin. Late response I know.

[@mex321]

@@DarkAnomaly Thanks for the tip. Never to late to reply!

[@sonic3dblastdude]

Yeah, and when you’re in the center, you won’t be able to see the bombs while they’re in the center until it’s too late which is FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!!

[@gameomer1855]

When I played this game the special stages didn't give any problems I guess you could say I outsmarted the special stages and not the other way around

[@avoasemota8450]

IM STILL TRYING TO BEAT IT

[@Johnbuttergutter]

I love how you can actually figure out where the springs are, the only thing i didnt like was special stage 7

[@taimakitty]

Special Stage 7’s Trick Spots behind the bombs require that you dive into them with A in order to get them. Just be sure to keep your character in the middle of the screen as much as possible before doing so though.

[@cliffturbo2146]

Still, it has to be very precise. I'd likely think it was just a trap.

[@muhammad52688]

It's very difficult, I can do it several times but now I can't do it, the distance between the rows of rings in the lower left corner is too close to the yellow portal

[@cliffturbo2146]

I can't believe I beat all Special Stages in one take.

It's somewhat of a continuity error for Tails to be flying the Tornado one and not the Tornado 2. Very odd.

[@DamnZtar]

He flew it in sonic unleashed

[@bowlognese1405]

[@Trogadorsaysay2]

I don't get why these had to be the Special Stages. They're not the halfpipe Special Stages that have been constantly reused, granted, but my depth perception is utter shit here. I keep thinking I'm right above a set of Rings, when it turns out I'm way off. These are basically character and Ring sprites being used in 3D environments, and it just doesn't work.

[@ElectrikStatik900]

I agree bruh, these special stages are straight garbage

[@greninjamariokartpokemonfan]

@@ElectrikStatik900 And so is the method of accessing them, especially in the later levels. You have to find a large Spring hidden in the level that takes you to the Special Stage. The problem here is that you have to have prior knowledge of the level layout in order to find said Spring, especially since it can be well hidden.

[@sxg0017]

[@lafbkhope5391]

@@Sonicboom-zw4wc Nonsense. They are easy to navigate through and you can even pause and restart them if you were to lose. Meanwhile this game has atrocious depth perception making it very hard to play. Not to mention you will need to restart the stage and find the spring every time.

[@ZentaZA]

I remember playing this all the time on Ngage... Fun times, when I still used to genuinely enjoy a game. It was such a unique feeling. I tried playing this again after a decade, but it doesn't feel the same anymore. I guess some days are special for a particular thing or timeline.

[@edfreak9001]

I will say, I think this game has my favorite method of entering special stages, and amongst the other Advance games it's not even remotely close

[@sandudelcea6707]

When you get a chaos emerald and land on the plane the music sounds just like jeopardy more comonly known as the waiting music

[@DarkAnomaly]

Well played mate. I know I found these rather difficult because of the poor depth perception and the GBA's small screen but I managed to beat them.......eventually.

[@cliffturbo2146]

Making a 3Desque depth is challenging but possible to do for a 2D game. It worked fine hete, but it might be difficult to beat at first.

[@mysteryperson1958]

These are my least favorite special stages in the franchise. Worse than heroes, lost world 3ds, sonic 2. I don't know if advance 2 and are worse (though getting to them is a pain I know) since I have yet to play them but man fuck these.

Man, these special stages are awful! I hate the depth perception with these rings since they’re so horrible! If they do a remaster of the Advance trilogy, Hopefully they’ll fix the depth perception with the rings and fix the trick gates. Even, the advance 2 & advance 3 special stages were better than this!
