Golden Sun: The Lost Age with some added quality of life features for a more fun replay. Battles remain the same as the original game, but updates have made in the overworld to ease backtracking, puzzle solving, and inventory management
This mod implements the Quality-of-Life features used in Dawn of Djinn in a setting that better reflects the original game. For players who wish to experience the original world of Golden Sun with those features.
Adjustments to Overworld Abilities/Quality of Life Updates:
Retreat not only warps you to the start of a dungeon or town but now functions similarly to teleport when used on the world map. Using Retreat pulls up the map and you can select any town that you’ve previously visited to instantly return there. The linearity of Golden Sun doesn’t make this as needed as other RPGs, but it does open up some options that would be unreasonable in the original game, such as Retreating back to Imil to restock on Hermes Water.
Avoid now behaves as a random encounter toggle rather than a wear off effect. Using it once turns off 100% of random encounters, using it again turns them back on.
Default Psynergy:
Building off the built in Psynergy the Randomizer provided, many utility Psynergy like Growth, Whirlwind, a
Sonic Advance 2 SP is a ROM hack geared at improving some of the less-loved aspects of Sonic Advance 2. Changes included: Adjusted enemy placements to prevent many ‘cheap shots’, such as item boxes bouncing you into enemies. Many bottomless pit areas were replaced with new routes or made harder to fall into at a moment’s notice. More plentiful Special Ring placement, allowing a more freeform approach to entering Special Stages, and Special Stage entry requirement reduced to 5 SP Rings.
Advance 2 is still a challenging game! Bosses haven’t been touched, and in the later half of the game you should expect plenty of enemies and the return of the dreaded bottomless pits. The hack attempts to balance things in a fair way but also rewards memorisation for repeat play and speedrunning - without as harsh a penalty for not doing so.

It wasn’t enough. It would never be enough. Tomorrow, the legions would resume the attack; rested, reinforced, against starving, demoralised and desperate conscripts. Tomorrow, the Guard would break…
