Sonic Advance - Android Mods Collection
A downloadable mod for Android
Sonic Advance, originally released on the Game Boy Advance in 2001 (2002 outside of Japan), has an Android port released in 2011, only in Japan via a subscription service called "PuyoSega". Then, a demo named "Sonic Advance Lite" has been released on Google Play Store in 2013. And recently, a Chinese version of the Android port published by a company named eGame has been archived on the Internet.
This port is quite easy to modify, so a bunch of mods has been made. Here's the collection where you can check out multiple mods of this game.
The MOST Mods are a collection of mods of the Sonic Advance's Android port that gives quality of life improvements to the game. These mods feature brand-new modifications and improvements alongside the previous ones from the Anniversary Mods Pack released back in 2021.
These mods are also uploaded on the Sonic Fan Games HQ website to potentially be part of the SAGE 2024 event.
For more information, check out the MOST Mods devlogs.
Ever wanted to know how it would be like to have other Sonic titles remastered like Sonic 1, Sonic 2 and Sonic CD for mobile devices? Well, today might be your lucky day thanks to SonicStation and t_aires ;)
The SonicStation mod aims to revamp the original Sonic Advance in the style of the Christian Whitehead Remakes, while giving it its own identity, with different sprites, added features and more! The main goal of this mod of Sonic Advance (2011 Android Port) is to make the game feel fresh and better on Android devices!
Here is a list of features and improvements made to the original version:
- New screens, visuals , improved sprites and textures to make the game feel fresh;
- The return of the original soundtrack, now remastered and with some new additions;
- Full English translation, along with some changes to fix some otherwise broken English;
- Minor voice acting added to all characters and Dr. Eggman;
- Modified cutscenes and new cameos added to the game;
- New loading screen, featuring the return of "Sonic Says" from Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, but now promoting fan projects and more;

How do I download it without a word document?
The format uses for the mods are .apk. There aren't used for word document.
The .apk fomats are used for Android devices or for Android emulators (such as BlueStacks, for example).
When I download it it shows a word document
hello, I would like to know, is the game also compatible on Android TV with a controller? I ask this because I wanted to play it again but on a big screen and with the same feeling of playing it with the buttons of my xbox/ps4/android controller
Hello !
I have no idea if this game could work on Android TV.
Whereas the controller, I don't know how the settings work, but maybe by mapping the control input to the button locations, this could probably work.
¡Hola!
Esto es realmente un problema. ¿Qué versión de Android estás ejecutando?
Además, me pregunto si puedes desactivar Google Play Protect para instalar el juego.
I wanted to play this Fan Remaster from Fans, but first he demanded access to Contacts, which is a little suspicious.
He also claims that the program is designed for Older Android.
And also, most importantly, it just has a Terrible Frame Rate! Seriously? I launched "Sonic Advance" via RetroArch, but even there it works at a Stable 60 FPS! Have you even tested your project at all?! Please refine it!
Hello there. I think I need to explain to better understand the context.
First of all, the Android port of Sonic Advance is an old official software by SEGA released in 2011/2013. And the games on this page are presented as game mods. Not fan remasters.
Secondly, the frame rate is indeed terrible (running at 15 FPS). I wish I could fix this issue, but I'm not an expert at Java/Smali programming. I can only modify what I can understand in the game's code.
Wait... It demands access to "contacts" ? This is strange. I have to test it out.
It's say for android but why it's say it's for PC
No. The only mention of being on PC is BlueStacks. Which is an Android emulator for PC.
The game itself is playable on any Android devices.
nice game, long time no see!
Hello !
I managed to make the Spanish version of the game... by looking at the Sonic Advance Spanish instructions manual. ^^'
Also, there isn't any Portuguese instructions manual. So I made a Portuguese version by myself.
Nice!
awsum
What is the Difference between Version A & Version B of the Sonic Station Mod?
The difference is that they are extra files in Version A, which seems to be patches to make the game runs smoother according to SonicStation. Whereas Version B doesn't have those extra files in case when Version A doesn't work on certain smartphones.
However, I didn't mentioned this on the presentation because I can't find any evidence about smoother framerates and performance differences between the 2 versions.
It true that I could have leave the question of whatever or not you noticed any technical differences during gameplay, because I haven't.
Thank you very much for the quick response. I'll be sure to download one of the versions to see which will work on my phone better 👍

*** ANNOUNCEMENT ***
This game page will be completely updated for being more than just my mods page. In fact, I just gave some help to another Sonic fan who made his own mod of the Android port of Sonic Advance and he agrees that his mod will be published in this website.
Because of this, I have the idea of turning this game page into "Sonic Advance - Android Mods Collection".
The most important change is that the game page's link will also be updated. So keep that in mind !
I don't have any specific date for the update, but you'll see the changes yourself.
*** ESPAÑOL UPDATE ***
¡Saludos a todos!
¡La versión española de Sonic Advance finalmente se lanza!
Puede consultar los textos y ver si hay algún problema con los textos en español.
Hello everyone !
The Spanish version of Sonic Advance is finally released !
You can check the texts and see if something is wrong with the Spanish texts.
I also fixed the difficulty names, because I accidentaly exchanged the difficulty names (EASY - NORMAL). I'm sorry.
Nice,now I can play it in Spanish!
Don't forget to check both the game and the CHECK OUT TRANSLATION HERE folder and contact me if there is some grammar errors. I think I made no mistakes, but I'm not exactly sure.
It don't have no mistakes so,Thanks!
You're welcome !
Wait… What do you mean by "It don't have no mistakes" ? Does this means that it has mistakes ? If not, you should have said "It doesn't have ANY mistakes". to avoid confusion.
By the way, if you checked all the Spanish text in the CHECK OUT TRANSLATION HERE button, that means I can remove this download button.
Sorry,I'm learning english
*** UPDATE ***
- The Sound select option menu has been changed to be more satisfying to read.
- The HELP menu has been modified to represent the instructions manual of the Sonic Advance's GBA version.
When it comes to the Spanish version, I hope that everything would be okay and I'll be able to work on it. I'm waiting for someone to finish the translations and give them to me.
For Furikan:
I have to translate the <L> ■ PROLOGUE|| text?
EDIT: If you want play my games
EDIT: I refer to the PROLOGUE text
Everything is explained in the INSTRUCTION HERE file. It says that the "<L>" and "|" are just special codes specifically designed for the text alignments in the game. Which means that for the translation, you have to ignore the "<L>" and replace the "|" with Space.
WHAT A COINCIDENCE ! I also use paint.NET for modifying those sprites. However, don't write on the images (except for the RESUME image if you want). Just make a translation list in another file instead. I'll take care of the sprites modification later.
Actually, I already play some of your games. They aren't great games, but still enjoyable.
Thanks,your games are AWESOME.
This is because I didn't made those games (except the Flappy Bird one). They are just mods of already existing games.
Also, don't worry if the game's thumbnail is different. Because I improve my presentation quality.
Ok
By the way, I forgot to tell you somethings :
First of all, I made a few modifications in my files again. So you have to download the translation folder again. But this time it's only less files to take care of. (I'm so sorry if I bother you) By the way, you don't have to make an exact translation in order to give better context for Spanish readers.
If you can find the Spanish instruction manual of Sonic Advance, the first line is based on the story-telling of the manual.
Then, for the translation, uses the 2nd person of singular to describe the game's user. I say this, because I don't know if the Spanish language uses the 2nd person of plural as a form of politeness for an individual person like in French.
Also, once you are done with the translation and give it to me, I'll give to you a reward. Believe me, you gonna like what I've made !
Hello !
Actually, I managed to do all the translations myself. Although, I don't know if I made some mistakes in some words, so I'm gonna publish the Spanish version and you'll check the texts if I made mistakes. But I think I did my best to understand Spanish, thanks to the Sonic Advance's Spanish instructions manual.
However, you can either keep translating what I gave to you or checking out the Spanish mods that I'll publish. What do you say ?
*** ANNOUNCEMENT and UPDATE ***
(Hello Marianoa213 ! Don't forget to re-download the translation .zip file)
I'm here to announce that a Spanish version will be coming soon. It's gonna be a big update !
For now, I managed to fix a lot of, if not, every translation errors (again) and graphical issues that I made during the previous versions of the mods. When it comes to translation errors, I admit that it's my fault.
However, when I modified some images files with texts to translate, I realized that the colors has been modified slightly or, worse case scenario, a few parts that are glitched. All because of this STUPID GOOGLE PHOTOS WHICH SOMEHOW DECIDES TO TURN .PNG FILES INTO .JPG !
And this is why I decided to never use Google Photos to save in the cloud any of my future content from now.
I hope the game is going to be awesome with spanish.
I can help improve the game's perfomance too.
You can use Dropbox to save your files too
EDIT: I don't know if Dropbox turns .png files into .jpg
First of all, I don't mind much about .PNG and .JPG fiasco, because I use Google Drive instead, which doesn't change images when uploaded.
Secondly, if you want to improve the game's performance, I hope that you know how to program in Java and Smali. Because I don't know how to program in those languages and I didn't found anyone who can develop projects using those languages. Especially for free. For that, I'll say good luck !
Sorry but I don't know program in Java and Smali.
But I know program in Construct.
EDIT: I use Google Drive for save files too!
Okay then. Maybe if you can find someone who is good at Java and Smali, that would be helpful. But if you can't do that, I don't blame you.
Don't forget to download the .zip folder in *** FOR TRANSLATION ***.
I'm translating with Paint.NET
EDIT: Do Paint.NET works translating?
EDIT: I redownloaded the FOR TRANSLATION file
Finished:
enable_sound_0
tips_sonic
suspend_resume_0
*** UPDATE ***
As you may notice, the GBA soundtrack mix mods are now smaller in memory size (58.9MB to 21.9MB).
This is because I made the .OGG files of the GBA soundtrack mix smaller by removing some of the music parts that are unused in the game and by compressing the soundtrack with Audacity.
You might think that it reduces the music quality, but it's actually not noticeable. Trust me.
I also fixed some of my translation errors (stupid me).
You're welcome ! ^^
I hope that someone can help me to translate this game into other languages.
I can help
Hello there ! How can you help me ?
Can you help me translate this into other languages (except English and French) or improve the game's performance ?
Can I put the Spanish language?.I talk spanish and english
Of course !
I can give to you the files once I'll make a special button where you can download all the text that you have to translate.
It will take time though, but I'll tell you once I'm done. Also, there will be instructions about how to deal with certain files.
Nope!
Also i'm using computer.
Why french person?
