Yeah its fine, just a diet version of Sonic 2 with slight screen crunch and great chiptune versions of Sonic & Knuckles music (Sky Sanctury during the true final boss lolwut).
I will say, despite using save states, the way the Emeralds are handled is really dumb. Uses the two act structure of Sonic 2, but the "big ring at the end of the stage" thing from Sonic 1. Can only get the ring in Ac t 1, extrapolate from there.

it's like sonic 2 if it wasn't good
the sonic 3 chiptune remixes kick ass though

The physics are alright, so are the visuals & music, but the special stages are terrible, and the extra goodies are whatever.

Ok, Who put Sonic 3 & Knuckles music in my 8-bit Sonic 2 genesis game?

Actually a pretty cool little game, and that is almost entirely because it's chiefly Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 mashed together.


Esto es un remake de sonic 1, 2 y 3, pero con toques de Adventure. Que bueno que despidieron al drogadicto que hacia estas cosas.

It's an interesting game, in that its one of the only games in the franchise that really blurs the line of "Classic Sonic" and "Modern Sonic", this game was basically Sonic Mania before Sonic Mania, taking elements of all the original trilogy and mashing them all up. Its pretty good, better than the Game Gear titles I would say, but worse than the Advance trilogy. Its lack of originality takes it down a peg in my opinion. It really is just that perfect bridge of what 2D Sonic handheld titles would be, the culmination of what the Game Gear / Master System titles had been building up to, and the first steps of the Advance series, transitioning to modern designs halfway through. It has much better jump physics than most handheld equivalents of the era, that's something they always tend to mess up in my opinion, Sonic on the Game Gear and the Mario Land series just have really floaty jumps, ruining the game feel when compared to its console counterparts, but this game does a better job at translating fluid jump physics to a weaker device, a better job, not a perfect one however mind you, since the physics in Sonic games are so intricate it's a hard thing to nail exactly, but its more than adequate. This game is also infamously the game that got a perfect 10/10 from IGN in its review, not sure I'd go that far, but, hey it's pretty great.

This game isn't anything special but it is still fun.

If you enjoy classic Sonic and haven't given it a go I would definitely recommend it. It isn't perfect (and is kinda unoriginal) and the final couple stages can be a bit cheap. But overall a decent package.

It's basically portable Sonic 2 mixed with Sonic 3&K. It's pretty fun and is a solid game

It's alright! Would still just play Sonic 2 though

Pa ser un juego de la Neo Geo Pocket está muy guapo

Right, so, this is literally just Sonic 2 with a few tweaks to the level design, different bosses (including a Sonic & Knuckles-esque final boss) Knuckles as a baddie again for some reason, and 8 bit remixes of the Sonic 3 & Knuckles soundtrack.

It's not bad at all! I just don't have much to say about it.

Uma surpresa agradável, basicamente uma saladinha de vários elementos dos jogos do ouriço, com seu level design majoritariamente retirado de Sonic 2. O que mais chama atenção é ver o mascote da Sega ganhando um título exclusivo em um portátil da SNK, essa cruza exótica já prende o suficiente a atenção dos mais fãs como eu, e comigo amando Sonic 2 claramente acabei curtindo bastante este jogo também

Depois de uma série de tentativas da Sega de trazer o Sonic para o seu console 8 bits ou seu portátil, aqui finalmente vemos isso feito com considerável maestria. Visual fantástico, física sólida, controles bastante competentes e mesmo com todas as fases sendo reaproveitadas, todas elas possuem notável diferenciação em level design. Não me importo com retakes desde que possuam o mínimo de originalidade, e mesmo que tenham jogado no seguro por aqui, foi tudo bem divertidinho de se jogar

Além de nunca perder um bom ritmo, vários bosses são originais e os que não são ainda são muito bacanas de se ver no jogo, como o Knuckles reprisando seu papel em Sonic 3. Pode não ser uma experiência essencial nem destacável, mas tendo me tirado uns sorrisinhos já me sinto bastante confortado

sonic 2 and 3 thrown in a blender, then left in an alleyway for crackheads to ignore

An interesting game, using elements from Sonic 2. Not a long game, and Sonic's jumps are very floaty. As well as this, the hit box on Sonic is very big.

Good Sonic game for a handheld, though lacking in identity. Nearly all tracks in the game are really cute renditions of music from Sonic 3 and the level themes are borrowed from prior entries. Admittedly there isn't a lot to say about this game: it has good controls, charming spritework, and the speed is kept in tact from the Genesis games. Sonic Pocket Adventure is a fun game and I recommend it to all 2D Sonic fans that may not have checked out this obscure entry in the series. Give it a go!

apesar de ter gráficos datados do neo geo pocket color que absolutamente ninguém ou lembra ou se importa com essa merda, é um jogo legal!

Best 2D Sonic game for my money. Also one of the many reasons that the NeoGeo Pocket Color was a dope console.

Really not too much original here, but the level design is made well for the small screen and the sprites are charming.

Simple but fun remix of Sonic 2 for an underrated handheld.

this is just sonic 2 and 3 on portable before the PSP/DS


Pra o que se propõe é um excelente jogo, trilha ótima e física perfeita

this is one of the greatest handheld video games of all time and has some of the best character sprites i've ever seen

its basically a sonic 2 remix on inferior hardware
i mean if you really really like sonic 2 and just want more of the levels you already know and slightly different takes on bosses, here you go i guess
