After so many trials and errors with the last two games,dimps has finally struck a gold with the final game within this trilogy yet still manages to offers something new.

Easily the most consistent game out of the bunch and one that doesn't suffer much aside from,i really wish the game is not as long as it was they could've trimmed it down to act 2 each zone idk why they changed it while some are fun even the best act of the zone even,i think i don't need to elaborate much further on the final act of the final zone lol,and the bosses didn't need to drag that long not to mention some of them are quite frustrating.

Besides that i think this easily some of the most fun I've had with Sonic since Sonic 3 and idc what anyone says but the pair mechanic is quite fun and creative if you know what you're doing,only serves to elevate how good the zones are much more yes i do have a problem with the longevity of the zones but overall i think zones 1-6 are very good with my favorite being cybertrack it felt like culmination of every zones before and had this really sick aesthetic i can't get enough of,despite some duds within them and the last zone they all are Advance games zones at its best not to mention the visual,presentation and music as well i think people overblown the problem the issue with hub world seriously it's not that confusing it's actually quite sick they give the player cool things to interact while banger music playing in the background.

I'm honestly quite shocked the review section here seems somewhat displeased towards this game,as i just didn't see or experience that many problems playing this game myself but i guess different preferences,that aside Sonic Advance 3 is the triumphant game in this trilogy while manages to still create really fun experience that doesn't stay far away from it's roots but still innovate in creative way.

I fucked adored this game as a kid and i have a ton of nostalgia for it but looking back... that level design man it ain't great, i dont think it's the worst dimps level design that honor goes to either sonic rush 1 or lost world 3ds but it comes damn close with the games fetish for crushing blocks or questionable enemy placement also i do think the hubworlds are kinda just bleh and the emerald collecting is both more and less annoying than advance 2 lol

In terms of positives the style and charm of this game are just so good defo the best of the advance trilogy in this regard, the music and visuals are top notch, i like the bosses defo way better than advance 2s running garbage tier bosses and i like how this game ties into sonic battle with the emerl stuff as someone who grew up with sonic battle and advance 3 it was rad interconnectivity between games

Overall good game glad i grew up with it but man it is rough in areas really rough
