Goombas videos are consistently some of my favourite content on this site and have been for 5+ years. I'm glad he still has a loyal fanbase that see how amazing his content really is. Goomba on the off chance you do see this, it has been great to have your videos over the developing years of my life, you helped me through some really rough times. As such as little as it does mean in the KZread machine, I will always be a fan no matter the direction you go. I sincerely hope that other viewers can come to your channel and recognise how amazing you have actually been doing.

Sonic Advance 3 is one of the most underrated games in the franchise. I wish the partner mechanic came back because it has so much potential with the amount of Sonic characters we have. I also think the hub world is actually really neat since it allows every playthrough to be different since you can choose which order you can beat the 3 acts of each world.

I think the partner stuff is probably the ideal way 2D Sonic should work, especially 2 player. They should bring it back in a game with perhaps more forgiving level design imo.

Maybe people didn't like how the partner mechanic was like in Sonic Heroes and thought Sonic Advance 3 was just a 2D version of Sonic Heroes, since it only came out about a year later. I enjoyed Sonic Heroes as a kid (don't know why anymore), but the partner mechanic in Advance 3 was much better handled, and the ROM Hack (for the first 3 Genesis/Mega Drive games) Sonic Classic Heroes proves that the mechanic seems to work better in 2D Sonic games in general.

@@generaljf7233 It’s still one of the better gimmicks in 3D Sonic games, it’s just that Sonic Heroes was a very rushed release that really could have used more polish to turn what is one of the most divisive Sonic games ever into one that is at least good. But you’re right, I think it’s actually the combat, the cutesy, corny dialogue, and the floaty controls that people don’t like about Sonic Heroes, not the team mechanic that did what it set out to do. When I was 9, I thought Sonic Heroes was the greatest game in existence and still revisit it from time to time, so I don’t understand how people could outright despise Heroes to the point where it actually makes them angry, in general.

In the case you decide to get all the chaos emerald before the final boss, it will show you the normal ending and you have to do it again to get the true final boss and the true ending, man, this game really has a obsession with wanting you to unlock things in a specific method or order.

After 100%ing this game last summer I came to appreciate it a lot more. I liked the final boss and the true ending which gives closure to the plot of Sonic Battle

Intro never gets old

Great video. From what I can remember, the special stage keys stack so you can get a bunch of them and can try the special stages more efficiently.

Sonic Advance 3 is definitely the best one yet by its idea of creating duos with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Cream. It’s amazing because using different characters changes their abilities which changes the gameplay of the game. There are some points where the game gives you the middle finger with enemies being everywhere and annoying you, even the bosses are ridiculous because even they are sometimes annoying but at least it ain’t the running crap in Sonic Advance 2.

Tails and Knuckles teaming up for the exploration segments makes perfect sense! Tails is smart and intuitive and Knuckles has a sixth sense and mystical sense for finding treasures and things tied to Chaos.

I agree with everything you said about this game. Aside from all the cheap instant kill tricks, it’s a very well put together threequel to end off the Advance series that combines all of the mechanics of the last three games together perfectly. Yet another great video, Goomba! Nice work! 😊👍

1:58 “I know people don’t like this level, but nah, you just suck” is probably the funniest thing I’ve heard all day LMAOOO also MAN I loved this game as a kid. Cream and knuckles was always my favorite combo. One thing I love about this game is the true ending. It kinda feels like that sonic and tails cutscene in sonic 2, but for the advance games. And the credits music always hits so hard for me. Great video all around!

The only downside of these reviews is they don't emphasize enough how beautiful and expressive the character sprites were in all 3 games. Yes, I know graphics and visuals aren't everything, but in this case I really do think the personality added to each character's movements add to the game. SEGA tried to bring back Sonic's expressiveness in Sonic Frontiers a bit, but it wasn't enough and Sonic, like most company mascots, seems to have lost a lot of his animated personality and even ability to make interesting facial expressions in recent 3D games, most notably in Sonic Forces. Not to mention how, at the time, those sprites would show up everywhere in Newgrounds and early KZread animations, most notably in Super Mario Bros Z. That only ensured that I would get even more nostalgic for that particular art style over time.

This video series has convinced me to pick up and try the Advance Series again sometime. My memories are only years ago from the early 2000s, so I should definitely give it a modern shot.

5:35 that was an excellent visual gag

I really liked this game. I'm glad a third video was made for it, and I hope your channel gets more attention eventually! You put more effort into your videos than most big KZreadrs do, and I really respect it

Yes, I enjoyed it. In fact, I loved it. This video is fantastic, and I loved every second of it! Thank you so much for making me patron of the week!

been watching this channel for years. insane how criminally underrated it is

Good job goopyGoomba! I really enjoyed this! Strange how a game franchise that I dislike so intensely... is somehow so enjoyable to watch you review!

The moral of the story is that SEGA should make Sonic Pinball Party 2

Your dry humor was really killing it today

Hey, great video! I also just wanted to say that I used to watch your videos all the time quite a few years back. It was only recently I remembered, so I decided to check if you were still around, and sure enough, you're still uploading. I checked this video out since it was the most recent, and it's still got that exact same charm. Can't wait to see what you'll cover next.

Hell yeah goombas back for the 2nd time this month lets go

God so nostalgic. I remember buying this game from my grade school book order. I tried to talk to one of my teachers about it.

Brilliant video, Goomba. I completely agree with everything you said. I feel 3 is the best of the Sonic Advance series because like you said, it has the level design of 1 with the speed of 2. And as complicated as it is, getting the Emeralds is better here than 2 because at least there’s SOME form of progression. You didn’t need to get all the rings EVERY TIME. Also, you know you can get multiple keys, right? You aren’t tied to just one key. You can collect multiple keys for multiple tries. Anyway, I’m glad to see we see the game the same way. Brilliant assessment of the game and the series as a whole. Keep staying awesome, Goomba. Hopefully you’ll get out of those two pipes someday.

Great video as always Goomba! Glad you could finish the Sonic GBA quartet; I really enjoy your deep-dive, level-by-level approach to game reviews =D

This game is an interesting step for the Advance series, but it almost feels like the levels were designed to annoy the player, especially on the first playthrough. I would have liked to see an Advance 4 just to see how the formula would evolve further

Just in time to enjoy another video from this talking mushroom.

I was just wondering about where this was, thank you!

The hammer idea was probably implemented from Sonic pocket adventure aka Sonic Advance 0.1

Great video as always, Goomba! Longtime fan here!

This was the only game I had on an old GBA, it truly was fantastic, but I remember struggling a lot on the fifth boss

For some reason everyone I talk to seems to hate this game with a major passion like if it killed their dog. I actually really love this game because its fun and I like the team up mechanic. I remember my favorite combo was Tails and Amy because it actually boosts Tails' flying abilities on top of giving him a hammer to attack in the air. Sonic and Cream gives Sonic a little inner tube when he touches the water which is pretty cute. But yeah its legit pretty good though I'd have to replay them sometime.

I know your videos take a ton of effort, but it's totally worth it. You are such a grossly underrated youtuber.

It’s not just the fact Cream hasn’t appeared in sonic games lately that bothers me. It’s just she’s been absent from the shows and movies lately too! :( (AND Team Chaotix). For me what I loved about Sonic over Mario when I was younger was being able to play as different characters in a story game (not just like in Party or Racing). Sigh~

That panda head tho... It's up to something!

Great video Goomba! One question, do you play your games on the NTSC or PAL style?

Great video! I’ve got a recommendation for you to investigate. I really enjoy your videos making fun of old bad GameBoy games with a bit of a twist. Not sure if you have heard about Noddy as apparently there’s actually 3 Nintendo games from GBC then GBA and the DS. The first one is called Noddy and the birthday party on the GBC I’m pretty sure you’ll have a good go at this one. The second one is for the GBA is called Noddy: A day in toyland. I think this one gets a bit meh. Last one is for the DS as let me tell ya it’s absolutely rubbish it’s called Noddy in toyland. Oh just to let you know about the GBC one it’s based on the classic 90’s stop motion tv series exclusively for the Children’s BBC back in the day as the title of screen plays the opening of the into song from Noddy’s Toyland Adventures. The GBA one is based into the early 2000’s as the intro song is opening theme song called Make Way For Noddy as it’s in CGI after the 1900’s stop motion series ended. So I gave you a bit of a history if you have never even knew Noddy had 3 Nintendo games as I’m pretty sure you’ll have a good go with the first as I’m pretty you’ll make fun of it.

Now we just need Goomba to play Wario land 3 to finally close out the series. A video series 10 years in the making

Top tier video Mr Goomba!

Were the Sonic Advance games on Wii U at one point? There is no real sign of them anywhere on the Wii U eShop! It's just a true disappointment that I can't play these games on a modern console it seems. I guess Sega was just too busy re-releasing the classic Sonic games for the millionth time with Sonic Origins to care about these games. Quality time spent.

Non aggression zone doesn't sound good, but I get it. 2 countries that (have been at) each other's throats usually have a little bit of land between their borders called a non-agression zone. Since Sonk and egger team up for the greater good they thought about it and that's pretty neat. Still though, they could have gone with ceasefire zone or something.
