Sonic 3 Fighter Sonic, known simply as Fighter Sonic on the title screen, is an unlicensed platform game for the Game Boy Advance. This pirate appears for sale on eBay occasionally. Most, if not all, graphics are taken from Sonic Advance and Sonic Advance 2, but with less animation frames. The music that plays on every stage is from Soul Falchion, another bootleg game.
Due to heavy copy-protection, the ROM was not dumped for several years until it was finally dumped by RibShark on May 21st, 2020.[1]

Gameplay
The player controls Sonic the Hedgehog through a total of four levels. There is an attack button () which causes Sonic to throw projectiles that look like him in his Spin Dash form. There is also a jump button (). Holding and pressing causes Sonic to jump higher. Using the attack button in mid-air causes Sonic to stop in mid-air. This move can be used to cross long gaps and pits, not to mention land on a moving platform.
There are Rings throughout the levels, but they are not used for survival, though collecting 100 Rings will still award an extra life. Sonic does not lose Rings when hit, rather he has a health meter that can be refilled by collecting fruit. There is a score counter which is increased in various ways. Enemies are defeated by either using the projectile attack, or by jumping on top of them.
Unlike most Sonic games, the game is not fast and focuses on platforming. The game's engine is shared with other unlicensed platformers likely developed by Sintax and suffers from a number of bugs, particularly with the audio.

32 MiB | Cartridge | True ROM size is somewhere between 3 and 4 MiB, but a dump of the full 32 MiB address space is required due to esoteric mirroring. Editing the ROM is required due to the copy protection locking out some areas, and Nintendo logo being corrupted. |
