Sonic N is a 2D side-scrolling platformer that ports Sonic Advance to the Nokia N-Gage handheld. Players control Sonic (and optionally Tails, Knuckles, or Amy) through five zones split into two acts each, collecting rings, avoiding traps, and battling Dr. Eggman's forces to retrieve the Chaos Emeralds. The PAL version released a day after the North American launch, featuring the same fast-paced gameplay and colorful graphics optimized for the N-Gage screen.
