PRESENTATION

Sonic Advance International is a mod of Sonic Advance's Android port that gives quality of life improvements to the game and extra features such as a Language Select Option, as well as an Auto-Language Detection. This mod also features modifications and improvements from the previous versions (Translation + GBA mix, Anniversary Mods Pack and MOST Mods).

The brand-new feature of the International mod is the Multi-Language Feature!

First, a Language Select Option is available in the Main OPTIONS Menu. Additionally, thanks to the Auto-Language Detection, the game automatically sets the language based on your device language when booting the game for the first time!

The available languages are English, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Italian, Japanese and Chinese.

The second main feature is the Soundtrack Select. Originally appeared in the MOST Mods (v3.0.0), the Soundtrack Select allows you play either the MIDI or the GBA MIX soundtrack before the game opening. The International mod now features a Soundtrack Select Option in the Pause OPTIONS Menu. Resetting the game is no longer necessary to change the soundtrack!

SIDENOTE:
The GBA MIX soundtrack does NOT contain the exact same soundtrack as the original Game Boy Advance version. Instead, it replicates the MIDI soundtrack (with the exception of 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).

The Multi-Aspect Feature allows you to play the game in aspect ratios higher than 16:9 (from 3:2 to 7:3). This feature is designed so the game looks graphically the same as in 16:9 and lower.

The International mod also fixes menus width and the game opening transitions.

Also, thanks to GdGohan, the game now hides the Android navigation bar, allowing you to have a greater aspect-ratio on modern smartphones!

To accommodate with the new options features, the OPTIONS Menus have been revamped!

From the v3.1.0 of the MOST Mods is the Tips Screen (Loading) Option, allowing you to enable or disable the loading screen before playing an act.

But the International mod also introduces the Special Stages Gyroscope option. This brand-new option is basically a combination of both the Special Stages Controls and Gyroscope Sensitivity options. Turn ON this option to select the gyroscope sensitivity.

SIDENOTE:
Due to an oversight, cancelling the Special Stages Gyroscope option in the Pause OPTIONS Menu during a Special Stage makes this option to turn OFF automatically.

The International mod features bigger sprite text for its menus, useful for translation.

And thanks to the Gameloft and N-Gage versions of Sonic Advance, as well as the game's instruction manuals, the mod introduces near-accurate translation for all the game text!

SIDENOTE:
Translation inconsistencies may be present in the game. If you find one, please leave a comment.

Finally, the external link option in the Main Menu is where to access a brand-new Game Website!

This website allows you to be informed about updates, looking for game hints, learning about game mod projects for future improvements, and more!

SIDENOTE:
The Game Website is in English only and is not designed to be translated.
