Advance has something very important that makes it my favourite Sonic game, something that very few 2D Sonic games do. The levels have highly distinct areas so they're more memorable. Take the opening level. You sprint along an open beach, with some wooden decking. You then run down a checkboard hill of stone and leaves. You jump up into a cavern area filled with waterfalls and the green hill aspect. Finally you leave the level in a wide open green area, reminiscent of an open field. Even later levels like Egg Rocket have it. Entering the rocket, ascending the launch scaffolding, switching between the inside and outside of the rocket as it breaks the atmosphere, and finally being inside the rocket engine room while it flies through space itself.

@@secoTheSonicFan not always true, I understand and agree that "Sonic Orgins" is a bit overpriced, ($40 for only 5 games, plus an extra $5 for optional bonus material) but don't forget their previous Sonic compilations and remakes have been very cheap actually. You can literally buy Sonic 1, 2, and CD for $3 each off Google Play for your phone, (or even just play them "free with ads") and the Steam PC versions were cheap too. Let's not forget Sonic Mega Collection was $20 for 7 games. (And a few hidden ones included.) Heck, you could get a collection game of 50+ Sega Genesis games, (including 4 Sonic games) for any of the major consoles (including Switch) for only $30. (Which occasionally gets discounted half price during seasonal sales.) That's less then a dollar per game. And actually the Sonic Advance games did sell quite well in the 2000s decade, and for some Nintendo fans were their first Sonic game. The reason they have never been rereleased (outside the Japanese WiiU Virtual Console) is due to legal issues with THQ whom published the American releases, and possibly other legal issues.

Have we ever stopped to talk about how wild it is Goomba plays games through 110% to make videos on them? I feel like most KZreadrs would just complete Sonic's version at most and send it. Or more likely these days, stream it on Tw ch and then lazily upload the vod to KZread to minmax revenue. Goomba's goated

Great video. Advance 1 is among my favorite games of all time and its always great seeing someone touching upon the good (and bad) in the game. It still really feels special to this day despite how often it called upon the classics. I hope it and Advance 2 and 3 are ported someday so more people can enjoy them.

It’s always a joy when the mushroom gremlin uploads

Wish these games were talked about more. I was really happy to see this in my sub feed

That last one is unfortunate.

Kinda funny how Eggman's strongest machines are usually found underwater.

Advance 1: Great 2D Sonic template. Nothing special, but exactly what it needed to be. Advance 2: More interesting than Advance 1, but feels too much like style over substance. Advance 3: Gives off a poor first impression, but gets better and better as the game goes on. Overall solid trilogy of games. I’d like to see it get the Castlevania Advance Collection treatment someday.

I think the casino area has a pinball machine because they figured the arcade-style was close enough to a casino for them to shoe-horn one in.

Fun fact: Pinball was actually regulated as a form of gambling for a while, classified as a game of chance and not skill. Hell, before the introduction of flippers in 1947 it was basically pachinko with a larger, heavier ball. That's part of why a bunch of machines from up to the 1970's had "A Game of Skill!" printed somewhere on them. It's also why some of them had mechanics like "Add-a-Ball" (where you can extend your current game with multiple bonus turns) instead of giving free games. The More You Know [rainbow star]

Definitely trying to keep my hopes up for that new modern 2D game

A 20 minute Goomba video? Aw yeah! This is happenin!!

Man, I was so concerned about the first original Sonic game on a Nintendo system. It knocked it out of the park and kept going. Not perfect, but everything I wanted and more. I never got bored grinding for the chao garden. A milestone game in my gaming tenure for sure.

This game was pretty much my introduction to Sonic games, I love the sprite work and I think that this design of the character is the perfect mix of staying close to his original design while still adding attributes that where introduced later on.

It really felt like the last few zones weren’t play tested with Sonic.

The Gamecube/GBA era was a strange era for old Sonic fans involved in the console wars, but it did gave out great games like this trilogy.

2001 was a crazy time in gaming. PS2, GameCube and Xbox battling for home console supremacy wasn't even the icing on the cake. Nintendo and Sega were butting heads since the late 80s and to see a Sonic game on a Nintendo system blew my mind. Sonic Advance is a diamond-in-the- rough, but still a gem regardless.

1:35 You know…..I used to think I was nostalgia crazy for thinking this. Glad to hear that someone else agrees.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who somehow turned into a Sonic fan over the past month.

I missed this channel, what an awesome way to come back!

This game brings back memories. SA2 and SA3 were my favorites when they were first released.

Sonic Advance, the real Sonic 4. The Advance games aren't perfect (especially the chaos emeralds) but it's a shame how forgotten these games are.

Trust me, you don’t wanna be sharing chili dogs with THAT hedgehog real soon. Frontiers looks like a wreck.

Loved this game when it came out and also agree about Amy's play style.

I remember playing Sonic Advance a lot as kid and I loved it. It did start to get very difficult on the snow level and onward, but I still had a blast playing through it regardless (even if I kept dying a lot cause me stupid at games). Never got to experience the bonus stages or the super sonic boss tho, but for what I played up to the 1st final boss in Zone X, it was a pretty solid game. Still have yet to play the other 2 advance games, but I heard some good things about the 3rd one. Honestly if possible, I would love to see all 3 games get the mania/origins treatment. Cause the Advance trilogy is very underrated.

Very well done on this video. Always a pleasure to watch them

A day with new Lonely Goomba, is a day that sparks joy☆

“Who the heck isn’t gonna play as sonic first? A complete maniac, that’s who.” *shows gameplay of knuckles* That actually got me laughing.

4:41 Fun fact! Pinball used to be in casinos before it was quickly found out to be easily exploitable with a certain amount of skill

I love this game. Its sequel, Sonic Advance 2, is one of my favorite Sonic games.

Gameloft also made a port of this game on J2ME phones. The music is now MIDI (there's even a barely used song that's Sonic 4 Episode 1's pinch boss theme), there's only 4 zones in a messed up order (NGHZ, SBZ, AIZ, CPZ), no special stages, no Chao Garden and only Sonic as playable character.

hey goomb, I just discovered your channel and just wanted to say that you're pretty funny and made me laugh

Eggman wasted his brain to ashes in this game.

The original Sonic Advance game (and maybe the trilogy) honestly need more love, and are very underrated. I wish we could get a "Sonic Advance Collection," like the Castlevania Advance Collection, and such. (But sadly, THQ apparently has some rights for the game so Sega can't freely rerelease it.)

I'm glad you pointed out both the high points and the low points of the game. It's not the kind of game I would play because the game is "not really designed for Sonic" if that makes any sense, but I appreciate how you acknowledged that Tails and Knuckles are better characters overall. In fact, they are both how I managed to play the older Sonic games as I'm more interested in exploring the levels than blasting through them. By the way, Goomba, if you really are a robot, it would explain why Goombas are rather expendable.
