Man, Sonic Advance 2 just feels faster than the first one—the music’s got this punchy energy that makes you wanna blast through levels at full speed. You’ve got Cream the Rabbit tagging along this time, and honestly, her little Chao buddy Cheese is kinda adorable when he’s not busy wrecking badniks.

Eggman’s up to his usual nonsense, so you’re zipping through loops, bouncing off springs, and grinding rails like it’s nobody’s business. The levels are designed so well that you can really lean into Sonic’s momentum if you nail the timing. Just don’t be surprised when you wipe out because you got too cocky with a spin dash.

It’s one of those GBA games that still holds up if you’re craving that classic Sonic rush.
