About

An overhaul hack of Sonic Advance 3. Revised level designs, reworked character movesets, streamlined hub worlds - experience the evolution of 2D Sonic in an all-new way! Changes included: - Adjusted enemy placements to reduce the amount of 'cheap shots', such as spike traps and difficult-to-react-to obstacles - Many bottomless pit areas replaced with new routes, or made harder to fall into at a moment's notice - Streamlined Hub Worlds to make progress through the game smoother - Overhauled character movesets to encourage experimenting with more character combos - The final Special Stage has had its ring quota lowered slightly. In addition, Chaos Angel's infamous third act - effectively an auto-scroller over a giant pit, where taking a hit was effectively a death sentence - has been replaced by an entirely new act. Boss fights haven't been touched. My apologies in advance.
