Jirard: What game you trying to complete? Johnny: Donating the Money. Jirard: Good luck, buddy.

I associate this game with Newgrounds. Every Sonic game on that site used these sprites.

“I love hub worlds” Johnny: *immediately punches him in the face*

It's simple Advance 1=Platforming Advance 2=Speed Advance 3=Partners

That AntDude guy is kinda meh tbh.

These game are underrated as fuck. Anyone remember ULTIMATE FLASH SONIC which used this engine?

24:25 That's Chuggaaconroy!

I like Amy's gameplay in Advance. It's unique and often forces you to take a different approach to the levels, offering a new experience.

It's pretty easy to cheese the game with Cream.

One thing I love is that there's a bit of continuity between the first and second games, namely in Tails' Act 2 clear animations, where he pumps his fists in the air and then jumps and twirls around. In Advance 1, he loses his footing during the twirl, lands butt-first on the ground, and sits there rubbing his head in embarrassment. In the second game, he successfully completes the twirl by landing on his feet and, upon realizing this, jumps up and down excitedly. It's a cute little touch.

I love the fact that Jirard's cameo happened right after I said he got all the gold medals in Sonic 06.

12:26 That was the most painful part of the video for me

When Sonic X was playing, I had the biggest smile in the Universe. I love the world sometimes.

In sonic advance 1, after you beat the story with all characters, you can get all of the chaos emeralds in one zone.

Ay! Chuggaaconroy! Also am I the only one that likes Sonic Advance 3's special stage music? No one ever mentions it but it's one of my favourite tracks in any video game ever.

never thought AntDude was gonna show up.. awesome! One of my favorites. Edit: Jirard too? Awesome!

So Johnny is Advancing on to the next sonic games.

Johnny and AntDude.... Was NOT expecting that one anytime soon.

SomeCallMeJohnny, AntDude, The Completionist, GillyTheKid, AND Chuggaaconroy IN ONE EPISODE. I’ve made four accounts so I can like the video 5 times. One for each KZfaqr

I loved when the completist showed up he's like good luck bud 😂👍

im very disappointed that you left out the part where i made the lion say fuck.

Antdude and Chuggaaconroy in a SomecallmeJohnny video. I'm having a fan overload.

Oof, not the Completionist Jumpscare

I loved all the Advance games but I think I actually liked Sonic Advance 3 the most, which is funny because for whatever reason, I didn't expect much from that game and was very pleasantly surprised. The bosses were very creative and some of the music, specifically Ocean Base Zone was fantastic!

"I just don't want people to think i hate the blue *FUCKER*, ya know?" That sounds like such an oxymoron. XD

I still hate the fact that this trilogy didn't get any representation in Generations 3DS :/ Yeah, let's make more Adventure levels because they were a thing on the handhelds. /s Ice Mountain, Music Plant & Toy Kingdom would have been better. Different tropes instead of repeating a Beach level and a Night city level

21:04 Tails wasn't even under the god damn platform! The hell?

0:00 Intro 2:01 Sonic Advance 1 7:57 Sonic Advance 2 15:10 Sonic Advance 3

If you can push it before I grab it

Sonic Advance 3's Sunset Hill Zone has music that's a remix of Green Hill Zone. Act 1 has a full on loop.

Johnny: Anthony: Emile: Nobody else in the world: Gilly: Sonic 2

Aye it's Chugga!

Sonic Advance is the true Sonic The Hedgehog 4...Until Sonic Mania gets released anyway.

As a kid, I marvled at advance 3's presentation, but the team/hubworld system confused me, and I died constantly because of the level design. I thought I just sucked at the game, but it's good to see I'm not crazy

lol the N-Gage joke

22:51 I love how those guys at the right are just beating up a scooby doo plush

"I just don't want people to think I actually hate the blue fucker you know?" ... glorious quote

Notalgia bias on my part but I love Advance's OST and could probably name *any* track from any of the three games. My favorites from each game: 1: Egg Rocket 2: Ice Paradise 3: Cyber Track

Something subtle about Sonic Advance 3 I liked was that they reused some of the Emerl music from Sonic Battle for the final fight scene and good ending music.

20:39 Does anyone else hear something being said when Sonic jumps onto the Special Spring?

24:40 Oh my God. I need that shirt. I've even looked it up and I think it was custom made.

Who liked this before they actually saw the video

Either my headphones are on the fritz or theres some audio issues. its crackling a bit

Damn... so happy to see Johnny, AntDude, AND Jirard in the same video! Thank you guys, this was so cool!

As someone who speedruns all three, advance 3 easily has the most complex and interesting level design that gives room for the crazy team mechanics that advance 1+2 and even the genesis games don't offer ( a speedrun uses ~15/20 teams, which shows how ridiculous the diversity is in both the teams and levels). That being said, the crushers and enemy placements are still pretty bullshit, though I would say advance 2 has way more level-design issues for the most part than advance 3 IMO. I think a lot of the level design issues in advance 2+3 would've been more resolved if we had a bigger screen to see farther ahead, but on a GBA handheld that isn't really realistic so it's kind of an oversight. Ultimately they're all far from perfect games but I enjoyed all three a lot (especially 3), and they each offer something unique (and also have their own weaknesses), so everyone will have differing opinions on the entire trilogy

Cheese the Chao needs it's own spin off game.... by Koei Tecmo

Wow, I think the "what you like most in Sonic games plays a big role in which Advance game is your favorite" theory of yours is really spot-on, at least for me. Advance 3 is my favorite, and sure enough the 3D games, especially Adventure and Adventure 2, are very close to my heart.

“Avengers infinity war is the most ambitious crossover of all time” This video:

oWho else thinks some call me johnny is one of their favorite KZfaq channel?

I find it funny how Dimps is behind both the actual Sonic 4 and what people consider Sonic 4.

Gilly is a man of culture, i'll tell you that.

24:25 hi chugga!

You forgot to mention Knuckles can use Flaming Shoruken in all 3 games! FLAMING SHORUKEN!!!!

24:12 Dude you even got Scott that Woz as a cameo!? That’s so cool

You guys really put a lot of work and effort into these games. As a Sonic fan from Day 1 almost 30 years ago (holy shit), I really appreciate that. I just got the trilogy for the first time this week, so I’m finally getting a chance to experience everything I missed. So far, it’s impossible for me to argue any points you make!

You know when I got Advanced 3 as a kid (yea it was my first game) I always thought that image of the master emerald in the opening cutscene after Eggman presses the button was a gameboy advance. I have no idea what was going on in my mind, but I always though, "Oh no, Eggman's using a game boy to destroy the world! It's weird I know

*Sees SomecallmeJohnny video notification* *Clicks immediately*

13:35 OH MY GOD CRIMINAL CAMEO

"Friendship ended with ANTDUDE, now THE COMPLETIONIST is my best friend."

So basically these games are for the most part incredibly fun to play... so long as you're not worrying about getting emeralds and just focus on getting from one stage to the next and having fun. Too bad they never brought them to Wii U GBA VC. Maybe on Switch? *Haven't thought about Sonic in years; cool to see the old games discussed like this

16:55 Jason Griffith's first line as the voice of Sonic.

The trilogy I played the most on my GBA SP! Thanks for doing this, brings back many memories.

has nobody realized how lucky antdude was when he was using the censored mode control remote

Best thing I've seen in ages: ChuggaConroy and SomeCallMeJohnny high fiving

Is there like some audio issues in this video? I hear a crackling sound

Wow, seeing that Nintendo Power #154 cover takes me back. That was the first issue of Nintendo Power my mother bought for me when I was but a pre-teen, and soon after I was subscribed all the way until the magazine's discontinuation in 2012. I still remember how excited I was when Shantae's long-awaited return was announced in October 2009, seven years after the original was released...and nine years ago before now. MAN, does that make me feel old.

13:30 oof.

Smash portraits are like Spider-Man: "Everybody gets one."

Am I the only one that thinks Advance 3 has a great soundtrack?

Dude, I love your videos, they are like comfort food for the soul.

That dancin' Pidge in the background made me smile anyway this is exactly why I love this channel. I'm learning about games I gave a pass to for several reasons, and I"ve found out what's good about 'em. i can safely say this is the part of the Modern era that looks the best to me.

Great videos dude, Absolutely loved the first Sonic Advance, but never played the sequels though. But would Sonic Rush be considered Sonic Advance 4?

This was a really cool mix of mini skits, game reviewing, and fan collaboration for this video :)

Johnny and antdude in one video as well as a cameo from both gillythekid and chuggaa?! Holy crap, new favourite video from this channel!

AntDude, Jirard, Gilly, and Chugga... all in one video. Looking back Johnny accidentally did the ultimate collab.

I would never think worse of you after ANY video.

EMILE?!?!?!?? "Hello Chugga my old friend"

It's funny. This is the video to introduce me (or at least reintroduce as far as I can think of) to this channel and we have AntDude, a guy I am already a fan of, collaborating with this video. I can already tell this channel will be pretty good.

24:24 it’s my favorite let’s player Chuggaaconroy

*obligatory comment about somebody having or wanting to study but ultimately decides not to because of new review from Johnny* ALSO, CHUGGAACONROY, OH LORD. I actually ran into him at MomoCon last year!

Chuggaaconroy being sneaky in the cameo

Sonic Advance 3 was one of, if not, my first ever video games that I played on a friend’s DS as a child and I fell in love with it instantly. God so much nostalgic memories with this one. I never played Advance 1 or 2, but I bet they were amazing too

Coming back to this video after watching antdude the completionist and Johnny is pretty funny and enjoyable

Let me tell y'all a story, back in the day when sonic advance was fairly new I was having a hell of a time trying to get all the chaos emeralds while I was playing it at the YMCA until one day on the way back to my moms car I accidentally dropped my game boy advance SP and when I went to pick it back up the final zone was unlocked. I don't how that happened but I took it

23:42 Holy... that.....that's me

My favorite of the trilogy was Advance 1 by far. I wasn't a fan of all of the gimmicks 3 had, and 2 was very difficult to control, as it was mentioned in the video, as well as the side scrolling boss fights in every single level. Advance 1 was the most truthful to the Sonic formula and it pulled it off very well. I loved Advance 1 when I originally played years ago when it came out, and I still love it today.

I love Antdude and Johnny so this crossover on some of my fave games is awesome!

I'll admit, i started crying when i heard the Advance 3 credits theme after YEARS, i played the fuck out of advance 3, i didn't mind the level design, granted i was a kid but the team up feature kept me going, i had a blast with the game regardless, & can i also say the music is absolutely AMAZING for a GBA game? & again, funnily enough, Advance 3 was the first game to make me cry, after going through the hell of getting everything & hearing that credits theme? perfect ending to me, i didn't play Advance 1 or 2 but i don't care, 3 will always be my favorite handheld Sonic game, period.

I never will understand the overwhelming dislike for sonic advance 3. Tbh the level design that people hate in SA3 also seems prominent in SA2 (well second half of SA2 anyway) and the special stage/chaos emeralds in SA2 I would say is 100 times worse than in SA3. Other than that I prefer the music in SA3 way more than SA2 and the gimmicks of the teamplay in SA3 isn't that bad. I feel it's overexaggerated alot simply because it doesn't feel normal. But the game gives you many choices. Want to play knuckles normally, chose knuckles and tails. Want to play as tails normally choose tails and sonic. But I digress, i'll never really understand the dislike for SA3 XD

That moment with Johnny and Jirard! "Good luck buddy"!

this game was everything when I was 7. the birthday gift I played with most

"Look at the camera for your awkward Smash introduction..."

SA3 is my favorite, who's with me??? *Crickets chirping*

even the completionist of all people was like lol nope @14:15. brilliant lil easter egg moment there lol

Advanced 3 was my favorite. The only real take off I had from it was that it didn't have a tiny chao garden, but most people didn't use that and to be fare I tend to play the Dreamcast over the Gamecube but everyone knows the chao gardens were improved.

Anyone else notice that Knuckles and Tails' team name is just called "Ok"?

Did you really not praise Advance 3's soundtrack?

I like how Cream's mom Vanilla is the size of an average human mother

Wow, did not expect to see AntDude on here. That's cool.

I love the idea of Antdude somehow being late to see Johnny at Magfest.
