So, Sonic Advance 3—it's the one where they cranked up the chaos by letting you pair Sonic with another character like Tails or Knuckles. Tag mechanics mean you're constantly swapping between two characters mid-level, which is either brilliant or slightly overwhelming, depending on how fast your fingers move.

It's got that classic GBA Sonic speed, but with a twist—some stages really push the teamwork angle, forcing you to use both characters' abilities to get through. And yeah, the story ties into Sonic Battle, so if you played that, you'll recognize some of the music and sound effects they recycled here.

Honestly, it's not the smoothest Sonic game out there, but the tag system keeps things interesting when you're blasting through loops and bouncing off springs. Just don't expect it to feel as tight as the Genesis classics.
