More Sonic Advance, but better. Although there's a lot more hail Mary bottomless pits in this one, which I wasn't a fan of, and I didn't like any of the bosses, aside from the last one. Special stages are way better here as well, actually playable, but I did just cheat again, cuz I wasn't about to playthrough and get emeralds with all characters. Above all else though, this game has more sauce, sprite work is great as always, the cutscenes were cool too. I also like the way they did end goals, and you really feel the speed in this one, especially with the afterimages. Trick system is dope too, although I didn't realize it existed until the last zone lol. Pretty solid game, really enjoying running through these.
