User blog comment:Sonamyfan666/Sonic Advance the real Sonic 4 so far./@comment-17720060-20120503015921

Just because Sonic Advance was a 2D platformer and had cartoony looking badniks doesn't mean that it was the real Sonic 4. That's sort of like saying all modern 2D Sonic games with badniks like those have the right to be Sonic 4. And if Sonic Advance is the real Sonic 4, why is it called Sonic Advance, and why is the one that came out recently called Sonic 4?

And may you give some of those "many reasons" to why Sonic Advance is the "real" Sonic 4?
