Sonic Advance 3
Description (IGDB)
Sonic is back, and this time, he needs the help of all of his friends to defeat the evil Dr. Eggman. In Sonic Advance 3, Sonic and Tails must reunite with their friends Cream, Knuckles, and Amy. Team up with any of the five characters to gain special attack moves: Sonic increases your speed, Tails increases your jump power, Knuckles increases your attack power, Amy offers the Piko Piko hammer attack, and Cream lets you perform a homing attack. With a Game Boy Advance link, you and three of your friends can battle it out in multiplayer modes.
Histoire (IGDB)
Prior to the game's events, Doctor Eggman builds a robotic assistant named Gemerl, using parts from the robot Emerl who was destroyed in Sonic Battle. Eggman attempts an experiment using the Chaos Emeralds to perform the Chaos Control technique, but it goes awry and tears the world apart. This action separates Sonic and Tails from Amy, Knuckles, and Cream, all of whom Eggman finds and captures, intending to create a segment of his impending empire on each chunk of the planet. Sonic and Tails travel through the game's seven levels to recapture their friends and retrieve the Emeralds. The final boss fight takes place at the Altar Emerald temple. If the player defeats Eggman there without having all seven Chaos Emeralds, Eggman and Gemerl escape and fall off the edge of the temple. Peace is restored to the world, and Omochao snaps a picture of the five heroes. However, the game alerts the player that the Emeralds must still be collected for the true ending. If the player defeats Eggman at the temple with all the Chaos Emeralds, Gemerl stops running away with Eggman and attacks Sonic, causing the Emeralds to scatter. Gemerl uses them to take on a giant, orb-shaped form, but Sonic also uses their power to attain his Super Sonic form. With Eggman's help, Super Sonic destroys Gemerl. Tails later finds Gemerl's broken body on a beach, repairing and reprogramming it. The game ends as Cream plays with the now non-aggressive Gemerl at her mother Vanilla's house.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The value of this cartridge will keep you playing and playing until your fingers rub raw. »
« They've tweaked and improved the gameplay considerably, included two fantastic multiplayer games and wrapped it all up in a beautifully drawn and dynamic sounding environment. »
« The addition of two tag-team characters in Sonic Advance 3 definitely changes things up considerably, as do the much larger and more expansive level designs. »
« While the game still maintains the same traditional platformer level design and old-school Sonic action, the game is designed around teamwork this time around and this is handled superbly throughout the game. »
« With the well developed co-op, blazingly fast single player, and the underused but excellent multiplayer, and with an excellent soundtrack, Sonic Advance 3 expands in ever way over Sonic Advance 1 & 2. »
« Sonic Advance 3 doesn't revolutionize the franchise but the new multi-character system allows it to keep it from being redundant and allows for an enjoyable experience. »
« Faster than ever, with loads of replay value - let down slightly by some extremely dodgy level design. One for speed-addicts. [GamesMaster] »
« The level design is fantastic, with large imaginative interactive environments. [Summer 2004, p.33] »

« This is the best game in the series. I just love the level design, music, the special stages, and I think the hub worlds are neat. New to this game is the tag team mechanic which is a great way to change up the gameplay. If there was a Sonic Advance game I’d go back to, it would be this one. »
« Very cool game with the best level design of the trilogy. The team mechanic adds a lot to the gameplay and makes it unique and realy fun to play. It also improved the formula with the bosses, making them less frustrating. »
« ah...good times sonic advance series this series left a huge and memorable impact and legacy to the franchise and the fandom because of this series we have sonic sprite animations in yt and the sonic sprite community has improved and evolved ad made better sprite animation and sprites and pixel arts and the legacy of sonic advance series is still going!! never stopped in the first place! i played these games when i was a kid these games are truly legendary and underrated. »
« Is very good. It's like if sonic heroes was better with very good level design and a pretty cool character combo mechanic! I thoroughly enjoyed this game and even the boss fights were fun! and themes and atmosphere was great!!! »
« Advance 3 is the more experimental game in the Advance series. It was really fun pairing different characters and see the new abilities. It continues having the same issues the game before it had. One thing that i like about this game is that the stages were not the same old scenes from previous sonic games (Green hill, Beach, casino, etc.) it had more variety this time. But to me is the lesser good of the spin off series. It is still good and enjoyable nonetheless. »
« Sonic Advance 3 is easily the weakest in the series, and this is due to a lot of interesting ideas being executed in a mediocre fashion. While SA3 certainly isn't a bad game, it really tries too many things at once to really create a robust system for any of the new ideas it wants to **** the least, SA3 can be enjoyed by fans, but its better if everyone else plays one of the earlier games in the advance series. »
