Sonic Advance & Sonic Pinball Party

my son have no complaints...

Product just as described works great. Kids are very happy with game. Hard to find game so made there day. Thanks

The game gets boring after a while...

So as an 8th grader with a GBA SP I got this during the holidays because Sonic Advance was the only one in the series I didn't own and little did I know that Sonic Pinball Party was going to be my most played game of all time! I remember getting addicted to pinball party a couple days later when me and my family stayed over at a family friends place during the New Years and throughout the dead timeslot hours from midnight to 4, I couldn't stop playing this game. The Sonic tables are fun yet difficult, Casinopolis is fun to spend a lot of time in mostly for the Roulette and Bingo tables (the Slots one is kinda hard to win plus you lose a lot of rings!). But most of all, I LOVE the Nights table the most. Not only because of its music but the Nights tables are fun! You have to get the ball in the Idya palace three times to unlock the idya and once you use your left flipper to perfectly grab the idya just repeat four times and you get to fight the Nightmares! In fact I've gotten so far in the Nights arcade table that I've reached past 2,000,000,000 points and was surprised to find a hidden stage known as "Twin Seeds" the growth! There you get to fight Wizeman in a dark table where ypu can't even see the lit up arrows! I can spend many hours playing the Nights tables and rehearing its awesome soundtrack again and again. My favorites are "Spring Valley" and "Soft museum."Now I wouldn't say pinball party is perfect but Story mode can be something to complain about. Challenges there can go from being dead easy to near impossible. I'm referring to the final fight with Eggman. It's almost impossible. You need to beat him as his score keeps increasing!! Worst of all he starts with 200,000 points ans his score only doubles by the second making this challenge all the more frustrating. I'm alright though I beat him twice but was disappointed to not unlock anything new -_- A tip to you players the only way to beat Eggman is to complete Casino Paradise before the time runs out and believe me the odds are against you. Sometimes the ball doesn't go to where you want it to land. Spelling the word E G G can be tricky because you have to hit the flipper at just the right time to get the ball upper atmosphere. Then defeating Eggman for me ia difficult cuz getting the ball in that one hole takes a lot of patience! In fact I got the ball into the "other" hole much easier!! Don't waste your time on this challenge too. When you defeat Eggman you have to sit through one minute of the FRUSTRATING BONUS ROUND WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO COMPLETE THIS CHALLENGE AND YOU CAN'T EVEN SKIP IT!! I HATE THE USELESS BONUS ROUND ESPECIALLY FOR A MISSION LIKE THIS CUZ THE CLOCK IS STILL AGAINST YOU AND EGGMAN'S POINTS CONTINUE TO RISE BY 200,000! I HATE THIS THE MOST! That's why you need to finish Casino Paradise the third stage in order to win. There's no other way.Well if the game was too easy it wouldn't be any fun so its good they made that impossibly hard stage. I was hoping for a Black Jack table in Casinopolis cuz I'm still mad you don't get anything for defeating Eggman (or Metal Sonic!)The Samba de Amigo table is one that I don't really care for but it's alright. There's also a Tiny Chao Garden that's always fun!To conclude, its been 10 years since I owned this game and now that I'm deployed in Qatar, I still find myself bringing this game with me and my still working GBA SP! I got this game for Sonic Advance but Sonic Pinball Party tops all the hand held games out there since I'm still playing it even to this day! A great, fun, addictive game hands down.

For those of you who hate background music, this game is not for you. There is no option to tun it off, and it is peppy and fast mostly. It is cool though, just have to play with sound off. I have to stay away from these games cause if I cant hear sound effects without music, I hate it. This is the case here.

This was a great deal for the price since u get 2 in one. Game was in great condition when received and I was even able to delete the old save data so I could restart the story mode.

My daughter loves this game. She plays it all the time. Sonic is her favorite character.

There's been a lot of "Double Packs" and "Combo Packs" released on the GBA as of late, which so far hasn't been a bad thing, and this Sonic Combo Pack is definitely worth picking up for Sonic fans and GBA owners. This Combo Pack features both the first Sonic Advance game and Sonic Pinball Party; the first of which is the tried but true throwback to Sonic's 16-bit glory days, while Sonic Pinball Party is just as it's name implies, and it's so much better than Sonic Spinball ever was. Sonic Advance combines elements from classic Sonic games and the more recent Sonic Adventure games; allowing you to play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, or Amy as you trek through multiple stages and take on the evil Dr. Robotnik. Sonic Pinball Party allows you to play some pinball on some Sonic themed tables, as well as some NiGHTS themed tables too (for those of you that don't know, NiGHTS was a cult classic SEGA game for the Saturn that has been deserving of a follow up for years, but alas, there's never been another NiGHTS game). The difference between the two tables isn't much, but it provides some quick and fun pinball action. Both games also feature the ability to raise Chao; the virtual pet animals introduced in the first Sonic Adventure console game. Both games look and control great, and there's little to complain about here with the overall package. For GBA and DS owners, this Combo Pack is worth picking up, and for those of you who own a DS, do yourself a favor and pick up Sonic Rush, which just may be the best 2-D Sonic game in nearly a decade.

As discribed and timely shipping working order.

Game works great.

Super good game!
