Hack Game Boy Advance

Shadow in Sonic Advance 3

A work-in-progress hack by sovic91 that puts Shadow the Hedgehog into Sonic Advance 3 in place of Sonic.

What it does

This hack by sovic91 swaps Sonic for Shadow the Hedgehog in Sonic Advance 3, so Shadow runs the zones and can team up with the rest of the cast. The new sprites draw on Shadow's look from Sonic Battle.

It is an early build: the author puts it at about 30% done, and many animations still show Sonic, either in his usual blue or recoloured dark. The author also lets other modders reuse the custom sprites, asking only for a mention.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of Sonic Advance 3 (the US release), following the instructions on the GameBanana work-in-progress page, where updates will also appear. Credit goes to sovic91; the original game and its assets belong to Sega, Sonic Team and Dimps.
