Play 2 in 1 - Sonic Advance & Sonic Pinball Party (E)(Rising Sun) Online

This GBA cart is basically a Sonic fan’s dream—two completely different games, both weirdly addictive in their own way. First, Sonic Advance nails that classic speed-platforming feel, with tight controls and those satisfying loop-de-loops. You’ve got four characters to pick from (Tails’ flying still feels like cheating, but hey). Then there’s Sonic Pinball Party, which shouldn’t work but totally does—it’s got these wild Sonic-themed tables with ramps, hidden Chaos Emeralds, and even little mini-games tucked in. The physics are surprisingly solid for a handheld pinball sim.

I’ll admit, I booted it up for the platformer and ended up losing hours to the pinball side. The tables have this chaotic energy, like someone cranked Sonic’s speed into a silver ball. Both games hold up way better than they should on the tiny screen. If you’ve got a GBA and even a passing fondness for blue hedgehogs, this cart’s a no-brainer.
