Sonic Battle is a surprisingly good Sonic fighting game for the GBA, most notable for featuring 3D battle arenas (on the Game Boy Advance!) and Emerl.

To do: A lot.

Regional Differences

Older English Script

To do: Full script comparison

All versions of the game have a language option in the Options menu. However, the English script in the Japanese version has a few differences from the other versions, which came out later to coincide with the release of Sonic Heroes.

• "Holy Summit" is misspelled as "Holly Summit".
• Rouge's response to encountering password-protected data during her storyline was toned down in the international version; it originally featured the word "bastard".

Story Option

Japanese	International

The international English script rewrites the options for continuing or restarting a character's story mode. The description for the "PLAY OTHER EPISODE"/"Play Different Episode" item was also written in a very clunky and unclear way that was cleaned up and clarified for the international release.
