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!
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.
Hopefully I'll have a nice time mastering the rest of the advance trilogy
(special stage 7 my opp.)
...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?
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.
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
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!
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.
