Attachment Super Mario Advance was a launch title for the Game Boy Advance and opens with a short cutscene featuring the playable characters walking and pulling up the game's logo from the ground. The cutscene features them walking in a small lit square, with the rest of the screen being dimmed until the characters are in place to start pulling up the logo, when the borders slowly brighten. The resolution of the bright square is 160x144 pixels, the screen resolution of the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color, with the fade-in meant to demonstrate the increased resolution of the Game Boy Advance.

In a 1993 interview with the game's planner Hiroaki Chino in issue no. 7 of Marukatsu Mega Drive, he was asked what the biggest changes were in Sonic CD compared to past games that were released on cartridges? He responded:

"One place in particular where you feel the difference is the special stage. We used the Mega CD’s sprite rotation abilities for that. Also, a single regular stage will have past, present, and future to contend with… we could only bring that volume to life with the CD format—if you do a simple comparison with Sonic 2, it’s 3x the volume. But when you add in the secrets and other things, overall, I think it’s safe to say it has about 4x the volume."

Attachment The game was meant to be longer, but due to time constraints, the high manufacturing costs of a 34 megabit cartridge with NVRAM, and Sega's commitment to a major McDonald's Happy Meal promotion featuring a sweepstakes to win a copy of the game, the decision was made to split the game into two games, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and Sonic & Knuckles. Evidence of this split can be found in the level select menu (sound test), where levels from the second game (such as Flying Battery, Mushroom Vally, and Sandopolis) can be found.
