Yesterday by brother bought "Sonic Advance 2" Game cartridge, it came complete with the box and the manual, packages, and everything. And when I was reading the manual, they mentiomed that something should be referred at page 25 while the manual was only 6 pages!! So does that mean that it's a fake ? or maybe they made a mistake ? O r are there gameboy pirate copies and I don't know about it ? Also if someone has sonic advance 2 please tell me how many pages is the manual.

There are various ways to tell.
1. Does the game cartridge have the Official Seal of Quality?
If so, what shape is it?
2. What age rating is on the packaging and cartridge (if applicable)?
3. Did it come with a precautions booklet?
4. Where was it bought from? (and was it new or pre-owned)
These are just some of the many ways.

I had the same issue when I bought two Gameboy Advance games about a year ago.
They both looked brand new but when I read the manual the text was cut off, pictures were really light and it just looked really fake.
The game was fine though.

What could have happend is someone was selling on the game and printed up a manky copy of the booklet so the shop excepted it as second hand. Sometimes they want the instructions.
But if the game is fine, why worry? I never read instructions anyway. More fun to work it all out yourself.

My Sonic Advance 2 booklet has 36 pages...

New. And you wouldn't recognise the store.

It works, actually it's a really cool and brilliant game, I just want to know. And maybe the original has better quality, am I right or wrong or what ?

Yes, it is a European copy.
The Seal Of Quality should be a circular shape, not an egg. The US have an oval shape, but not an egg...
Mine is rated 3+ by ELSPA, the only other one is PEGI, and the British one (You see it on films etc... the red circular PG, 15, 18 ratings)

Take one GBA game box you have, and the Sonic Advance box, and put them side by side. Does the Sonic Advance box look like it was made out of a different cardboard perhaps?
