In 2001, Sonic Advance was released for the Game Boy Advance in Japan.

In 2011, Sonic Advance was ported to Android devices (only in Japan).

In 2021, Sonic Advance on Android gets brand new mods, ready for this game's 20th anniversary !


The Anniversary Mods Pack is a collection of mods of the Sonic Advance's Android port to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the original Game Boy Advance release. The mods makes this game as followed :
TitleMultiAspect.png
First, the mods makes the game look better for Android devices with aspect ratios between 16:9 and 21:9. The mods were designed so the game looks graphically the same in 16:9 and lower.

SIDE NOTE :
Some menus, the opening and the special stages don't look perfect.
And the water animation in the first zone is slightly different to the original Android port. It actually resembles the animation from the original Game Boy Advance version.

TitleTranslated.png
The mods also have translated text inspired by its original Japanese version and the Game Boy Advance version's instruction manuals. The languages are English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Japanese.


TitleSoundtracks.png
Alongside the different languages, there are 2 versions of the mods :
one with the original .MIDI soundtrack.
the other with the soundtrack with the instruments used from the Game Boy Advance version. The GBA mix mods are meant to use .OGG files.

SIDE NOTE :
The GBA mix mods do NOT contain the exact same soundtrack as the original Game Boy Advance version. Instead, they replicate the .MIDI soundtrack (with the exception being the "invincibility" tracks). This means the music uses for the first and second boss music of X-zone are actually GBA remixes of the .MIDI versions ("E.G.G. STATION ZONE" and "BOSS THEME 2" from Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1).

LIST OF POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS :

- Upscale the "suspend_resume_0" image and canvas.

nice,Portuguese please
my mod:
So, do you want me to make my mod of this game into Portuguese ?
If so, I normally only make a different language version when I can obtain an instructions manual of Sonic Advance for the Game Boy Advance.
Although apparently, the Portuguese instructions manual is the same as the Spanish one. So if that's the case, I can just translate the whole text to Portuguese no problem.

By the way, if you think that I copied your idea when it comes to making a mod, that's not the case. Because despite the mod doesn't make the game look different, I modified it in the way to improve the game issues rather than just modifying the graphical assets.

you could put other people's mods so that the images are changed
it would be cool to play several mods at the same time;)

Nope. I don't do that. Otherwise, it would be like making commissions.

I'd rather making stuff for myself and then sharing it to others.

Oh yes ! I know what you're talking about. I'll try to fix this issue too.

But for that, I need your help : Can you uninstall Sonic Advance from your smartphone, then re-download the package here and install the game again ?
If you don't see this message that you just show me, that means I fixed this issue and I'll credit you in my project if you want !

Ai sim ! Eu sei do que você está falando. Vou tentar corrigir esse problema também.

Mas, para isso, preciso da sua ajuda: você pode desinstalar o Sonic Advance do smartphone, baixar novamente o pacote aqui e instalar o jogo novamente?
Se você não vir esta mensagem que acabou de me mostrar, isso significa que corrigi o problema e vou creditar a você no meu projeto, se quiser!
[/CITAR]
the problem continues, and yes I would like to be credited as a beta tester
Well... this is unfortunate.
I'll credit you, by the way !
