Mastered #12! Love the game but sometimes the level design just likes to screw you over like spikes out of nowhere which can bounce you down to a death pit. Also, the no dying achievement was hell. But hey, I love the game, had a lot of fun with it!

Tip for the time based achievements: Just look up a random speedrun on YouTube and try to replicate it. I recommend Tails. They will likely be twice as fast as you but that will still be enough to match the time on the achievement. Good luck!
AbyssWatcher1 6 Aug 2024 03:29
Defeating mecha Knuckles without taking damage is a little misleading. I lost my green shield but didn't get hit a second time, still didn't get the achievement. Should maybe say "without getting hit."
salvadorbastard 31 Aug 2024 23:29
Mastered!
Game 8/10 : Super underrated Sonic game. Controls as good as the original MegaDrive games. It's also nice and short so it doesn't feel grindy or boring. Playing as Amy is super fun once you get the hang of her playstyle. The Level design is pretty good too, which is something that falls off a cliff in the next game. Never got bored once! Good shit!
Set : 10/10 : Perfect set, no RA bullshit here! Probably the best Sonic set I've mastered so far.
Constant progress cheevos keep the dopamine hits coming and the actual challenge cheevos are well balanced; being tricky but very fair and REALLY fun to beat.
Time attack cheevos are actually pretty generous if you're a half-decent player. The no hit boss challenges are actually fun. The no death run is easy if you play as Tails.
No unimaginative and stupid cheevos like "collect all the boxes or rings" that plague some other Sonic sets. Yeah you know the ones. All killer, no filler!
Thank you GalacticSpear and bde9000 for this fun set. Worth a go for any 2D Sonic fan.

Special Stages Suck In This Even More

MASTERED!! My fave Sonic game on the GBA, i just love it *chef kiss*
KPera08 30 Nov 2024 17:40
this set was incredible. At worst you have that "beat the game without dying" but this time, it felt like an actual challenge, tricky but fair. The time attacks don't force you to become a speedrunner of the game and the bosses too were pretty cool.
Hopefully I'll have a nice time mastering the rest of the advance trilogy
hbROBO 3 Dec 2024 10:32
Not a single Chao achievement? I played that as much as the base game back in the day. Though I think I've heard that they tacked on identical Chao games to multiple Sonic games around this time, similar to the inclusion of the remade Mario Bros. on the Super Mario Bros. Advance series.
Xempince 6 Dec 2024 05:26
Mastered!! This set is amazing! Its very fair and rewarding to play through! This game has so many cheap enemy/spike placements that easily get you hurt, so its pretty mean your first playthrough. But once you replay the levels a few times, the game actually becomes pretty fun to play through! Definitely recommend if your a sonic fan.

(special stage 7 my opp.)
Xempince 6 Dec 2024 07:48
It's very unfortunate I don't think the same thing can be said about the sets for the other 2 games though. This is the best set in the advance series.
WizardofWords 5 Jan 2025 16:15
Mastered #13, never again will I ask for a 3D falling section in a Sonic game. Damn 7th emerald took an hour alone to get. At least for the 25 rings or more, the trick is to just spam the 'charge' attack. You can hit Eggman 2-3 times, and sometimes that capsule with the rings with it. Easy Peasy.
Rainbowmon2 12 Jan 2025 20:16
Mastery #50!

...Why does this set have time attack achievements for the first act of the first 5 zones, but none of the act 2s or Egg Rocket Zone / Cosmic Angel Zone?
Helton342 2 Feb 2025 01:43
Have been quite nostalgic for the sprite art these games have provided in the multitude of Flash games and projects. Glad to see that their origin point is as good as everyone makes it out to be.

Though I might have some nitpicky issues with the game, like the obvious easy to fall into instant deaths and the commonly seen "enemies or obstructions in the right place to just make you break whatever youre currently holding in half" and the "Hamster in a spinning wheel" feeling when you first go at it.

Overall it is a Nice game, quite surprised as to how nice it is to play through the game with all the characters.

But the Blue Blur himself definitely has way more Tech than the rest. I mean, the obvious would be that.. Of course He does. He is the Main Character of the series and is literally named Sonic. And I'll have to leave it there, rather than blurt out more things that would make even Captain Obvious proud.

Nice set and great game <3
Spasti 23 Mar 2025 04:00
Very glad to have mastered this set, can finally unclench after finishing the no death run

The special stages are probably the hardest in the set, but this guide should help: https://youtube.com/watch?v=CHzuqdQnlmc

The orange ring trick barriers have tricky timing, listen for the sound effect as you first hit it, then press the trick button (B)

Also super grateful that the speedrun achievements end after Angel Island, fuck those last 2 zones

Aside from Dimps' obsession with shitty spike placement and bottomless pits, this was a fairly satisfying set to master

The ice zone boss may be one of the most junk dysfunctional mess I've seen in a long time 🤣

Maestria #1!

Depois de 23 DIAS E 11 HORAS de jogatina, finalmente consegui todas as conquistas de Sonic Advance através do RetroAchievements!

Foi uma jornada... Divertida, porém muito frustrante em alguns momentos (Eu tô olhando pra você Special Stage 7). As conquistas de Speedruns/Time Attack foram as melhores disparado e o jogo fluiu bem, mas eu odiei com todas as forças a conquista de ter que zerar o jogo sem morrer uma única vez, pois caso eu o fizesse, de volta pro início e que se dane KKKKKKKKK!!!!

Antes dessa jogatina, eu achava Sonic Advance um jogo muito bom, mas depois de jogar tanto, os seus problemas ficaram mais evidentes. A física do jogo é um tanto quanto estranha, o ato 2 da Angel Island é um exemplo que como não fazer um Level Design justo com o jogador, e de longe a pior jogabilidade do jogo pertence a Amy. É simplesmente detestável a mecânica da marreta e ela não ter um método de aceleração (Oq foi corrigido na sequência).

E mesmo com essas falhas, Sonic Advance conseguiu ser muito divertido e foi extremamente gratificante conseguir masterizar o jogo no fim.

E com isso tudo, esse jogo merece ficar com minha singela nota 8, recomendo muito pra aqueles que querem jogos simples mas divertidos!
Zaneclodon 4 Jun 2025 01:37
woohoo, first mastery! pretty neat set overall. the special stages got tough, but the trick to special stage 8 is that you can go for the trick rings covered by bombs if you hold A while centered, just trust yourself... the boss achievements were annoying at times, but it feels good to get a clean run going! my biggest complaint is the cheap deaths the game loves throwing at you, especially in angel island zone :/ gotta learn the stages well and figure out safe routes if you go for that deathless achievement!
Zife 7 Jun 2025 14:56
Finalmente masterizado, a conquista de zerar o jogo sem perder uma vida ficou bugada pra mim tive que apagar o meu save pra pegar ela não faço ideia do porquê. Mas enfim, ótima platina.
MinuTheCloud 9 Jun 2025 10:23
Você usou Save State ou chegou a sair do emulador em algum momento?
Se esse foi o caso, qualquer uma dessas duas ações impedem que a conquista seja obtida, mesmo que você realmente tenha passado o jogo inteiro sem morrer.
Eu tentei várias vezes, e consegui zerar sem morrer em uma tarde, pausando dentro do próprio jogo para fazer alguma tarefa.
