This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2662M
TAS originally published on 2014-08-10
Sonic Advance was Sonic the Hedgehog's second appearance on a Nintendo console (being beaten by Sonic Adventure 2: Battle ( tasvideos.org/2779M ) on the GameCube by 10 days), and he brought all his friends with him. You can play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, or Amy on a mission to stop Dr. Eggman from taking over South Island.
This run improves the previous submission by 00:19.89 seconds, thanks to a new route in Angel Island 1 and general optimization.
There's also a run using Knuckles ( tasvideos.org/2845M ), Tails ( tasvideos.org/2950M ), and a couple Sonic ( tasvideos.org/1665M ) runs ( tasvideos.org/2028M ).

Whoever designed Amy's gameplay needs an award. She's different without feeling handicapped. There are situations where she clearly shines above the other characters.

@hevil93 3 жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same thing. The game design is brilliant, I can see why nothing like it has been released in the Sonic Franchise. It is like lightning in a bottle.

“without feeling handicapped” is a bit of a stretch considering how conditioned most of us are to automatic spins in our jumps

I always thought Amy was the worst character since her jump doesn't even do damage and the only way to attack is being really close to the enemy. But I didn't know she had so much tech to her. I knew about hitting springs with the hammer to get boosts and the mid-air hammer flip attack (used those to death). And I knew about the little jumpstart to her run but I thought that was kinda useless. No idea she had a hammer flip jump or the spinning hammer though. How do you even use those? I never saw them in the instruction manual.

Amy's hammer is often better than having spin attack if you play well anyway. Just anticipate things and you can enjoy significantly increased range to work with. Also, sometimes she can hammer out of springs (like this game), which gives her even more safety. Amy's lack of a spin isn't unnecessary, it's a required nerf if she's gonna be allowed to do actual things with her hamner
