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.

Unused Text

Sonic Episode

Japanese	English	Notes
コウゲキ！　コウゲキ！ まだ　きやがる！	Attack! Attack! It's still coming!	Intended for the unused second round of the first Phi battle. In the game, Phi is destroyed after one round.
くっ…　やるじゃねえか！ 確かに、　オマエはチンケな ゴウトウじゃないみたいだな… だが、　ここからは本気だ！！ カクゴしろよ！！！！	Hmph... Not bad! Guess you're not just a lousy common thief... I'm through playing around!	Intended for the unused third round of the Knuckles battle. In the game, Knuckles goes down in two rounds.
エメルに　”2つ目” の ”カオスエメラルド” が　セットされた！！	Emerl now has "2" "Chaos Emeralds" !!	Intended to be shown after Tails inserts the Chaos Emerald into Emerl. A generic "skill points increased" message is shown in the game instead.
”カオスエメラルド” を　キュシュウすることで 成長した　”エメル” … いったい　”エメル” は　なにものなのか… 次回　エピソード「テイルス」、 「エメルのヒミツ」 を　おたのしみに！！	"Emerl" has grown since he has absorbed the "Chaos Emerald" ... What is "Emerl" ? Discover the forgotten "Secret of Emerl" in the next episode, "Tails"!	A tease for Tails' episode, intended to be shown at the end of Sonic's episode.

Tails Episode

Japanese	English	Notes
エメルを　”セントラルラボ” に　 つれていこう！ エメルは　”エメラルド・ビーチ” にいるかな？	We should bring Emerl to the "Central Lab" ! I wonder if Emerl is still over at the "beach" ?	Intended to be shown when interacting with Tails House after the first scene. Only the Emerald Beach location can be interacted with at this point in the game.
よおし！　つぎは　とっておきだぞ！	OK, I'll teach you something super special now!	Intended to be said by Sonic when Tails approaches him and Emerl at Emerald Beach.
”カオスエメラルド” の情報が　入ったら また　来るわ。	I'll come back as soon as I get some more information about the "Chaos Emeralds."	Intended to be said by Rouge in the final conversation before asking Tails to introduce her to Emerl.

Knuckles Episode

Japanese	English	Notes
トレーニング　していくか？ オマエと　トレーニングして エメルが　弱くなると　困るんでな。 エンリョしとくぜ。 こっちのセリフだぜ！ トレーニングは　いつものように ”１０ＫＯ” 　したやつが　勝ちだからな！ じゃあ、　いくぜ！ ヘイ！　ガイズ！ オレは　半分もホンキを　出してないぜ？ もう　１回やるか？ オイオイ！　マジメにやれよ！ ザット　コンナモンサ！！ ボク　チョットハツヨクナッタカナ？ なかなか　やるな！	You wanna train? Forget it. If Emerl trains with you, he'd get weaker. I think we'll pass. I was thinking along the same lines, except about you! As usual, the first one who gets "10 KOs" wins! Let's start! Hey, guys! I haven't even started trying yet! You wanna go another round? Hey! At least try a little, will ya? Ha ha! I told you I got stronger! Not too shabby!	Intended for the practice battle with Sonic after the fight with Chaos Gamma. Dialogue from the practice battle in Tails' episode is reused instead.

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.
