Database match: Sonic Advance 2 (USA) (En,Ja,Fr,De,Es,It)Hack description
This is a simple patch for all regions of Sonic Advance 2 that lowers the SP Ring count requirement for each stage from needing all 7 SP Rings to just 3. This makes entering the Special Stage for each Zone significantly easier, while also still providing some level of challenge with locating and maintaining the SP Rings. The player is still rewarded if they obtain more than 3 thanks to the SP Ring bonus at the end of each Act. This (hopefully) provides a nice balance between challenge and collecting without giving out entry to the Special Stages right away!Screenshots

| Makes Sonic Advance 2 "almost" bareable to complete! | ShadowOne333 | 2022-06-08 | Version 1.0 |
What can I say, the author fixed one of the two most obnoxious things that Sonic Advance 2 had going for it. That being the requirement of getting all 7 Special Rings without dying in order to access the Special Stage to get the Chaos Emerald for the Zone. With this, the player can now get any 3 SP rings from any level and still access the special stage, that adds a lot to the exploration of each level without having to rely on knowing the location of each one, this way one can easily go through the level and gather SP rings if one stumbles into them, and get into the special stage with a much more leaned back state of mind. With that said, I encourage the author (or anyone else interested) in also making a hack that makes all the 5 characters of the game share Chaos Emeralds, as that is the 2nd most obnoxious point to 100% complete Sonic Advance 2. With this SP Ring hack, and the suggested All Characters Share Chaos Emeralds hack, Sonic Advance 2 would be a much... MUCH better game and will certainly be viewed in a much more balanced way amongst its two brothers in the GBA. | |||

Now it's feasible to unlock Amy, the sound test, and the best ending without breaking out cheats or a hacked save file! Many thanks. | |||
