Description:
Sonic Advance 2 SP is a ROM hack geared at improving some of the less-loved aspects of Sonic Advance 2.
Changes included:
- Adjusted enemy placements to prevent many ‘cheap shots’, such as item boxes bouncing you into enemies
- Many bottomless pit areas replaced with new routes, or made harder to fall into at a moment’s notice.
- More plentiful Special Ring placement, allowing a more freeform approach to entering Special Stages
- Special Stage entry requirement reduced to 5 SP Rings
That said, Advance 2 is still a challenging game! Bosses haven’t been touched, and in the later half of the game you should expect plenty of enemies and the return of the dreaded bottomless pits. The hack attempts to balance things in a way that feels fair, but also rewards memorisation for repeat play and speedrunning - without *as* harsh a penalty for not doing so.

I've never seen all the special stages before
Reviewed By: Shadowman621 on 02 Oct 2023Prior to this hack, I never got all the emeralds as even one character just because of how tedious it was. Thanks to this hack, it only takes me maybe 2 or 3 times through a level to get to the special stage!
