Let me tell you a story.

One day, I went on the trail by our local community center with some friends. And then on the trail was this weird stone wall and my friend climbed on it and he was like "hey watch this" and did a sick ass backflip off the wall. It was honestly the coolest shit I ever saw. Not to mention the floor was like three inches thick full of granite so if he fucked it up he would have went home without a skull that evening. We were all pretty shook from that, that was really cool. And then it started raining, mf flipped so hard he made the earth cry. But anyway yeah this is a pretty good game

Pocket Adventure é literalmente Sonic 2 fumado pra caralho com algumas coisas do Sonic 1-3 e até mesmo fodendo CD.

O jogo é simples e daora, nada de mais, acho que não vale a pena jogar se você não for real FANZÃO da franquia, é daora ver as mudanças que fizeram adicionando coisas dos outros jogos, e também o level design modificado das fases do 2... mas ainda é muito coisa pra fã mesmo.

O que impressiona MESMO são os gráficos, o Neo Geo Pocket Color realmente é INACREDITAVEL em poder, parece um jogo de NES, o bagulho é lindo e extremamente estiloso, principalmente nos menus, queria ver um joguinho assim hoje em dia KKKKKKKKKKKK

Joguem se forem fãs, mas vão sabendo que esse é um dos mais simples da franquia, mas ainda com muita qualidade.

I think its funny that this is one of the few games IGN has given a 10/10 to in it's lifespan, and I can kinda see why they would rate it so highly. This game is very interesting in its circumstances of development and release. It is a 2D sonic game that had released in 1999, right as sonic was about to enter the 3D era, it's developed by dimps, who would later go on to make all the 2D sonic games for roughly next decade, and it functions as both a early glimpse into that kind of gameplay while also providing a decent compilation of classic sonic zones from sonic 2 that all play rather well. For its time, its a very solid game. Nowadays though, especially considering the fact this game hasn't been rereleased ever and you need to go hunt down a neo geo pocket color to actually play it, its not really worth that kinda hunt. While the rehashed sonic 2 levels were likely fresh in its time as a way to get portable sonic on a system that doesn't drink batteries like water, in todays day and age there are much better ways to get your 2D sonic on wherever you want. If you are curious enough to be looking at this review, then by all means go for it tho, games solid.

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 might be my favorite portable sonic game (although I haven't played Rush). It's an odd mishmash of sonic 2 and 3 primarily, with level themes from 2 with new designs, gimmicks from 3, and music from all over the place. It's pretty fun, and the screencrunch doesn't really hurt the game suprisingly, spare one or two times a bottomless pit comes out of nowhere. Even then, the level design is fairly forgiving, where falling often leads to a path that takes the player back up to where they fell rather than instant death. Boss fights are rather fun too. It's a great time and an easy recommendation for sonic fans.

Cool novelty, not much else.
It being a sort of "Sonic 2 Remix" is a very neat concept although it doesn't really do too much in this area, would've loved to see them be more explorative. NGPC music conversions are always great to hear so I love what it does to the 3&K OST. Game controls well, level design is pretty good till you hit Sky Chase/Aerobase where it feels like the team really just gave up, thankfully Gigantic Angel brings it back in line with the rest of the game. Boss fights are exceedingly average except the Gigantic Angel boss which is actually abysmal. The special stages being the halfpipe really doesn't work well with everything else going on, doesn't help that your reward is extremely boring due to it just being their Doomsday Zone with no way to go Super in the actual levels. Overall, very cool novelty and definitely one of my preferred handheld Sonic games but not much outside of that.

A perfect tasting menu of Sonic.

Genuinely stunning considering that, on paper, none of Sonic Pocket Adventure's quirks should be conducive to a good Sonic experience. Being made in conjunction with SNK to be purpose-built for the Neo Geo Pocket, there's a greater understanding of the hardware on display here than in the Game Gear titles or the Sonic Advance series. There, speed becomes a burden. Here, speed comes naturally just as in the mainline titles. There, the screen is cramped. Here, despite the square display, you don't feel the need to cautiously inch forward out of fear for what lies ahead. Not once across my two playthroughs did I feel like I got hit because of something outside my control.

Stages are all derivative of previous titles (primarily Sonic 2) but they've been scaled down or reworked to accommodate the handheld experience. Despite this, levels still contain alternate paths and an incentive to explore (especially if you're going for puzzle pieces). Not only are levels themselves transplanted, so too is the vast majority of the soundtrack. Rather than take, say, Casino Night Zone's music from Sonic 2 for Pocket Adventure's Cosmic Casino Zone, the tracks are taken from Sonic 3 & Knuckles' Doilus Bonus Stages. Those tracks are then de-made for the Neo Geo Pocket's sound capabilities. In effect, the soundtrack is an official remix of Sonic 3 & Knuckles by SNK's Maitaro.

Nothing on offer here overstays its welcome with shorter levels that work for quick sessions, and a stage select that means putting the game away won't hamper progress. Unlike other 2D Sonic titles, here I actually wanted to do the Time Trials to see how fast I could tear through the stages. Clocking in at about an hour and a half per full playthrough, you get a delightful morsel of your typical Sonic zones without ever thinking how desperately you want out of Chemical Secret Plant. There's even a little Sky Chase! You get to fight Knuckles and Mecha Sonic! Eggman is seen in his classic and Adventure outfits! Hot damn!!!

This game, for some reason, kinda intrigued me for a long time, so, obviously, i had to emulate it to see why i was

And after playing it...it was alright

Sonic control pretty decently and he is enjoyable to play in those sort of remix of level from sonic 1 and especially 2 (something odd that i noticed is that sonic 3 music are the one remixed in this game, oddly enough): we have a remix of green hill, chemical plant, casino night, aquatic ruin, sky chase, wing fortress and a sort of mix between scrap brain and metropolis zone

So basically this game is doing a similar thing that sonic mania and....sonic 4... ugggghhhh

Fortunatly, the level design is decent in this game, not amazing, but this game made the smart move to take only one zone from sonic one (the only good one), and to not entirely take metropolis, so yeah, well played dev

This game is honestly kinda cool, but its about it, its just a nice but really short game, that doesnt have a lot of issue (except the hitbox detection that can be really jank in some place), but doesnt have outstanding element
