About Sonic Advance

Sonic Advance is notable for being the first Sonic game released on a Nintendo console, despite both Sega and Nintendo being well-known rivals on the console market throught the 1990s. Sonic Advance features four playable characters and marks the first playable appearance of Amy Rose on a 2D title. The game borrows elements from the original Sonic the Hedgehog titles for the Sega Genesis, but with the post-Dreamcast artstyle for the characters which was introduced in Sonic Adventure. The game also includes multiplayer features and mini-games. The title was also ported to the Nokia N-Gage under the title "SonicN".

Sonic Advance PC port: quick answers

It is in beta: playable, with known issues. Its last update was Oct 2026, and the latest release is 1.0.1.
Which systems does it run on?
Not confirmed yet. Check the project page for the systems it supports.
Is it an emulator?
No. sonic-advance-xbox rebuilds the game's source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.
