Sonic Advance 2 (InstanceTopic, 19)

<[#ontology [kind topic] [cats Sonic_series 2D Platformer Video_game]]>
'''Sonic Advance 2''' is the [[sequel]] of [[Sonic Advance]], running off a modified version of the latter's engine and starring [[Cream the Rabbit]], so that must make it [[the best]], right? Sure, if [[you]] like [[hit and run]] style boss battles akin to the [[Mushroom Hill Zone]], crappy enemy placement, and [[Mode 7]] [[Special Stage]]s that rehash [[Sonic Adventure]] characters for [[marketing ploy]]s. But beyond that, it's actually an awesome game, and features the most [[epic]] [[Super Sonic]] showdown ever in the form of the [[True Area 53]].(Which isn't related to [[Area 51]], mind you.) Since Sonic Advance is the ''only'' official candidate for a proper ''Sonic 4'', this would technically make Advance 2 the only proper ''Sonic 5''.

Also worth noting is [[Vanilla the Rabbit]]'s first official appearance is in this game, and is the last game in the [[Gameboy Advance]] series to feature [[Dr. Eggman]] as the true antagonist.
