I think that with these GBA games, Sintax (I think that's who made these games) decided to use some generic platformer engine, reuse the same music and sound effects in practically all of them, add some stolen graphics and make some generic levels. <_<[/quote]That applies to their GBC titles as well. Digimon Yellow Jade, Harry Potter, Pokemon Leafgreen, and their other platformers share that same engine. Though to be fair, that can also be said about Gowin's games and, in the RPG sense, Vast Fame's games as well.
And holy balls, this game looks bad. I'd rather have Pokemon Pinball's music playing instead of that crap.- Title: That infamous GBA platformer again...

Sintax keeps using the same music,engine,sounds,etc in their GBA games.
Can't they just atleast use different music? It almost makes me want cry because of how much they've overused this engine.

Post by: codeman38 on December 17, 2011, 01:49:17 AM- I love how they didn't even manage to fix the bugs in any of these games. And not little ones, but blatant ones, like the wrong music starting when you
stomp on andefeat a particular enemy. Or the music entirely stopping once a certain other enemy appears on screen. Or the complete lack of gravitational pull while firing one's weapon.
Edited to add: Though I'm not sure about that-- they might have fixed the music bugs one at a time. At least given what I've seen in the video clips (not having been able to find any of these particular bootlegs myself):
Broken title music Music stops with enemy Music changes w/ enemy defeat Digimon Adventure Yes Yes Yes Spider-Man 3 - Yes Yes Crash Bandicoot IV - - Yes Sonic 3: Fighter Sonic - - Yes Rayman IV - - -
Edit #2: Corrected 'stomp' to 'defeat', because obviously the music changes when the enemy is fired at in Digimon Adventure. D'oh.
Edit 7-Feb-2012: Added Fighter Sonic.- Title: That infamous GBA platformer again...
Post by: Robyn on February 07, 2012, 04:26:13 PM- Add Sonic Fighter 3 or whatever it was :)

Post by: Awesome Panda on February 07, 2012, 04:30:32 PM- Heh, I forgot about that table. Judging by that, I think Fighter Sonic (that's what it says on the title screen) came out at about the same time as Rayman IV.

Post by: codeman38 on February 07, 2012, 11:43:52 PM- Hm. Fighter Sonic does have the 'music changes on enemy defeat' bug (it shows up in Lorenzo's first video of the game). Though for all I know, Rayman IV has the same bug, and the player just didn't manage to trigger it...

Post by: Robyn on September 05, 2012, 12:40:55 PM- BUMP sorry, but new edition I found on YouTube, known as Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped (like the PS1 title) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwJEK7d4O3I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwJEK7d4O3I)
It's basically Crash IV, but with a different sprite of crash, different levels, and different title screen. :P- Title: That infamous GBA platformer again...

But alas, eventually I'm going to have to go toe-to-toe with it myself.
Especially as I plan to make an article on the engine in the Wiki, due to it being so damn frequent. x3- Title: That infamous GBA platformer again...
Post by: Barver on September 06, 2012, 12:19:49 AM- The level layout is clearly exactly the same as the first level in the Digimon Adventure pirate too. So boring :P
