Sonic Advance (ソニックアドバンス Sonikku Adobansu?) is a platforming game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series released for the Game Boy Advance in late 2001 in Japan and the rest of the world in 2002, developed by Sonic Team and Dimps. It was published and released by Sega in Japan, while THQ released it in North America and Infogrames in PAL regions. Sonic Advance is notable for being the first Sonic game released on a Nintendo console, despite both Sega and Nintendo being well-known rivals on the console market throughout the 1990s.
Sonic Advance features four playable characters and marks the first playable appearance of Amy Rose on a 2D title. The game borrows elements from the original Sonic the Hedgehog titles for the Sega Genesis, but with the post-Dreamcast art style for the characters which was introduced in Sonic Adventure. The game also includes multiplayer features and mini-games.
Plot[]
Title screen.
Dr. Eggman has hatched another evil plot to build his Eggman Empire by capturing Animals and turning them into robots, as well as gathering the seven Chaos Emeralds in order to gain unimaginable power. Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and Amy Rose set off on an adventure to free the Animals and stop Eggman.[1]
After traveling through multiple Zones and encountering Eggman in each one, the heroes corner him in the X-Zone, where the doctor flees to the moon after being defeated. If the player has not gathered all seven Chaos Emeralds for Sonic by then, he falls down to Earth and is caught by Tails in the Tornado. If the player does have all the Chaos Emeralds, however, Sonic will use them to transform into Super Sonic and defeat the doctor once more in a battle on the moon's surface. While Sonic's friends are wondering what happened to him, Tails goes searching for him and finds Super Sonic flying through the sky a few days later.

Gameplay[]
Sonic in Neo Green Hill Zone, the first Zone in the game.
Sonic Advance is a side-scrolling platformer game with four playable characters to choose from: Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and Amy Rose. The goal is to reach the end of each Act of a Zone (a level in the game) within ten minutes. Each playable character can utilize the same basic move set as in earlier Sonic titles, such as the Spin Jump, Spin Attack, and Spin Dash (except for Amy, whose move set revolves around the usage of her Piko Piko Hammer), with the addition of more melee-orientated moves, many of which are based on the moves in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. Each character also wields their own exclusive moves which they can use to attack, gain extra speed or travel through Zones. As the player progresses, the game will automatically save the current contents, while the Chaos Emeralds the characters have collected will be shared between all of them.
Many traditional items from other Sonic titles appear in Sonic Advance. Rings are found all around the Zones and have the same basic attributes; they give an extra life after collecting 100 of them, grant points, and protect the player from taking damage. If a character is damaged, they will drop all their Rings, though some can be recollected before they disappear. Taking damage without any Rings will cost the player a try. A character will also lose a try if they spend too long underwater without replenishing their air supply (air lasts for 18 seconds), falls into a bottomless pit, or runs out of time. Losing a try makes the player start from the last Checkpoint they passed, or from the beginning of the Act if they have not passed any Checkpoints. If a character loses all of their tries, the game will end, but the player can continue playing as long as they have Continues. Besides Rings, Sonic Advance also includes Item Boxes with a number of the most basic power-ups in the Sonic series.
The level designs are very similar to previous main 2D Sonic titles, each with different types of gimmicks and layouts that may vary between Zones; in Egg Rocket Zone, the player must progress upwards rather than straight forward. Across the Zones, Act 1 is cleared by passing the Clear Panels, and Act 2 is cleared by destroying the boss at the end and opening a Capsule dropped by Dr. Eggman to release the Animals trapped inside it. Beside the game's main goal, the player can also collect the Chaos Emeralds by using the Special Springs in the Zones to enter a Special Stage, where they can get a Chaos Emerald. Collecting all seven Emeralds and completing the X-Zone with all four characters will unlock the final Zone for Sonic and the game's good cinematic ending.

Zones[]
Sonic Advance consists of nine Zones, most of which are split into two Acts. At the end of a Zone (excluding the sixth), the player has to fight a boss. To enter The Moon Zone, the player must have gathered the seven Chaos Emeralds and then clear the X-Zone again as Sonic. The Zones in order are:
- Neo Green Hill Zone
- Secret Base Zone
- Casino Paradise Zone
- Ice Mountain Zone
- Angel Island Zone
- Egg Rocket Zone
- Cosmic Angel Zone
- X-Zone
- The Moon Zone
Special Stages[]
Tails in the first Special Stage.
Special Stages are extra levels where the players can collect the Chaos Emeralds. These Stages can be accessed through Special Springs that are hidden somewhere in the Zones. Each normal Zone contains one Special Spring, except for Ice Mountain Zone which contains one in each Act. Jumping onto these springs sends the player to a Special Stage.
In each Special Stage, the playable character sky-surfs through a large chute filled with Rings and bombs. The objective is to collect the requisite number of Rings to pass each checkpoint to earn a Chaos Emerald at the end. Press to perform a quick forward dash and pass through otherwise unpassable bomb formations, and to perform an aerial trick that momentarily expands one's radius to snatch clusters of Rings. Also featured are Chao, which grant Continues, and golden Trick Points that earn the player extra Rings. Only one Chaos Emerald is awarded per Special Stage, so the same Stage cannot be repeated for multiple emeralds. Unlike most other classic 2D Sonic games, the Emeralds are "shared" between all the characters.
Other modes[]
VS[]
VS Mode is the multiplayer component of Sonic Advance, which allows multiplayer gaming for four players in total. The same character cannot be used by more than one player, though. Players can connect up to four Game Boy Advance systems with between 1 and 4 Sonic Advance Game Paks by using one or more Game Boy Advance Game Link Cables. When using 2-4 Game Paks, with one for each player being necessary, select "Multi-Game Pak Play". When playing with just one Game Pak, select "Single Game Pak Play". VS Mode offers up to three multiplayer modes.
When playing with three or more players in the modes designated for the "Multi-Game Pak Play", players can choose either Individual or Team Play. If Team Play is selected, the player can assign themselves in different groups for cooperative gameplay. In such gameplay, each character has special abilities to aid their partners:
- Sonic: When Sonic is spinning in a place and a teammate touches him from behind, the teammate is instantly propelled into a forward dash.
- Tails: Tails can pick up his teammate when he is flying and carry them along with him. The teammate can let go by either jumping or waiting until Tails lands.
- Knuckles: Teammate can ride atop Knuckles' back or head when he is gliding or climbing. The character riding Knuckles falls off when Knuckles stops said action.
- Amy: If Amy hits her teammate on the ground with her Piko Piko Hammer, she will soar into the air as if she jumped on a Spring.
Collect the Rings[]
Collect the Rings is the only mode available in "Single-Game Pak Play". Here, the player who collects the most scattered Ring throughout the separated Neo Green Hill Zone Act within three minutes wins. Each player's location is marked for everyone by colored cursors.
In gameplay, players can attack their opponents to make them drop up to ten of their Rings, which they can then steal. The players can also break Item Boxes with question marks on them to make Spikes appear beneath their opponent.
Race[]
Race mode is available in "Multi-Game Pak Play". The objective here is to reach the Zone's Clear Panel within ten minutes and faster than anybody else. All the two-Act Zones are available from the start. Each player's location is marked for everyone to see by colored cursors.
If a player loses a try along the way, they must start from the beginning of the Act or from the last Checkpoint they reached. During 2 player races, the game ends when the first player reaches the goal. For races with more than two players, any player who does not reach the goal within one minute of the first player is automatically disqualified. For team play, all players much reach the goal for that team to win. Race also includes exclusive Item Box power-ups for affecting the opponents, which include: Confusion, Warp, and Brake.
Chao Hunt[]
Chao Hunt is available in "Multi-Game Pak Play". Here, the objective is to find and catch as many Chao in the Act as possible. The player with the most Chao when time runs out wins, with rounds lasting three minutes for individual play and five minutes for team play. For team play, the team with the greater number of Chao total wins. Chao Hunt includes four Zones with alternate layouts: Forest Chao Garden (Neo Green Hill Zone), Factory Chao Garden (Secret Base Zone), Pinball Chao Garden (Casino Paradise Zone), and Space Chao Garden (Cosmic Angel Zone).
When catching a Chao, it will follow the character around. However, players can steal Chao from their opponents by touching them. Chao Hunt also includes exclusive Item Box power-ups for affecting the situation, which include: Confusion, Blind, and Transparency.
Time Attack[]
Time Attack allows players to replay previously cleared Acts with the goal of getting the fastest record possible. The Zones available here depend on how far the player has gotten in normal gameplay. The best times are recorded in the game's data and can be viewed in the "Records" menu.
Options[]
Sound Test menu, featuring Amy Rose with maracas.
Options is the settings menu for Sonic Advance, which holds the following options:
- Player Data: Enter the name to be used in records or view the results of VS mode games. Names can use up to six characters.
- Level: Changes the difficulty level of the game. There are two levels, "Normal" and "Easy", with Easy mode decreases the damage needed to defeat bosses from eight to six and removes certain enemies from levels.
- Time Up: Set this to ON to let the time run out to ten minutes to give a Time Over.
- Sound Test: Listen to the various music tracks and sound effects used in the game.
- Language: Change the language of the messages to be displayed between English and Japanese. In Japanese version, the only option is Japanese, while on PAL releases the options of French, Spanish, and German are added. Also, the language setting becomes the first option when the player starts off the game for the first time.
- Button Config: Change the functions of
and 
. "Normal" is the default functions, and "Reversed" switches the functions. - Delete Game Data: Deletes the main game's save file.
Tiny Chao Garden[]
The Tiny Chao Garden.
The Tiny Chao Garden is a simulation minigame where players can raise Chao. It is similar to the Chao Garden, but with more limitations: Chao do not age, can only interact with a finite number of items, and there can never be more than one Chao in the Garden at a time. Players can link the Tiny Chao Garden to the Chao Gardens in Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle to transfer Chao or items and to participate in races.
When first coming to the Tiny Chao Garden, only a solitary egg can be found, which will hatch into a Chao. A new egg can be only stored there as soon as there is no Chao in it. The player can use the Rings collected in regular gameplay or two minigames (Card Matching and Rock Paper Scissor) to buy fruit and items to help nurture the Chao. These items include:
| Icon | Item | Cost |
|---|---|---|
|
Orange fruit | 30 |
|
Blue fruit | 60 |
|
Pink fruit | 55 |
|
Green fruit | 50 |

Soundtrack[]
The background music for Sonic Advance was composed by Hironobu Inagaki and Atsuyoshi Isemura, while the music and sound design was done by Wave Master with the aid of sound creators Tatsuyuki Maeda and Yutaka Minobe. Masato Nakamura, the composer of Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) and Sonic the Hedgehog 2, is credited as composer and for arranged remodeling. Sonic Advance also features several renditions of Nakamura's music tracks: the music for Scrap Brain Zone plays in the Options menu, the music for Star Light Zone plays on the "Delete Game Data" menu, the classical Invincible theme, titled as "Power Up", is plays while under the effects of said power-up in gameplay, the multiplayer rendition of the music in Emerald Hill Zone plays on the "VS" mode menu, and the boss themes from Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 plays during the Egg Wrecker and Egg Drillster boss battles.

Sonic Advance received generally positive reviews from critics and journalists with Metacritic scoring an 87 out of 100 based on 22 reviews and GameRankings scoring 83.32% based on 36 reviews.[5][6] IGN praised the gameplay, level exploration, the Tiny Chao Garden and multiplayer modes of the game, stating: "it covers every possible base on system: it's graphically excellent, it sounds great, it puts the link cable features to outstanding use, and its GameCube connectivity opens up potential never before available."[13]
Jason D'Aprile of GameSpy praised the game's impressive speed, great visuals and GameCube link features, stating the game was "Easily the best Sonic adventure in quite a while, proving that sometimes 2D is best."[15] Ricardo Torres of GameSpot praised the graphics, music, and multiplayer modes as well, but criticized cheap shots from offscreen enemies/hazards and the control scheme of the Special Stages. He concluded in his review that "While it lacks some polish, Sonic Advance is still a strong entry in the GBA library. Its connectivity to the GameCube and retro gameplay definitely make it a game that Sonic fans and GC owners can appreciate."[16] Jamie O'Neill of Nintendo Life states that "There is an enjoyable vibrancy to the backgrounds, as well as charming animation and audio that flows well alongside the classics of the series. Add multiplayer to the mix, as well as the Tiny Chao Garden that links to the GameCube, and Sonic Advance is a treat for Nintendo and SEGA fans alike."[17]
In retrospect, Official Nintendo Magazine ranked Sonic Advance as the seventy fifth greatest game ever released on a Nintendo console in March 2009.[18] In 2022, IGN placed it fourth in their list of the "10 Best Sonic Games".[19] By July 2002, the game had sold over one million copies worldwide.[20]

Trivia[]
- Sonic Advance is the last game for a long time to feature many old recurring elements from the series. Signposts and Sonic's leg spin animation would not be featured again until the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 4, yellow Springs would first appear again Sonic Generations, and the Capsules, (while seen in a mini-game of Sonic Advance 3) did not appear again before Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
- Sonic Advance was notably the first game since Sonic The Hedgehog 2 to feature any of Masato Nakamura's classic Sonic songs, most notably the original Sonic The Hedgehog theme via the Invincibility version of it.
- The 2011 Android port replaces the remix of the Invincibility theme from Sonic 1 with the game's intro theme, and the Sonic 1 and 2 boss remixes in X-Zone with boss songs from Sonic the Hedgehog 4 due to the rights to the music from Sonic 1 and 2 being owned by Dreams Come True and meaning Sega has to pay royalties to them every time they use the songs.
- This is the first 2D game to feature collectible Animals from Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 who are also kept inside Badnik and Capsules like the original Animals in earlier games. Notably, a few original Animals, including Flicky, are seen alongside with new ones in the game's good cinematic ending.
- Sonic Advance is the first game since Sonic the Hedgehog 3 which has introduced multiple Item Box power-ups exclusive to multiplayer. These power-ups are also featured in the multiplayer modes in later sequels and Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure.
- Hitting vertically and diagonally oriented Springs with the Hammer Attack will greatly increase their launching power, allowing Amy to get to places and take shortcuts/paths that Tails and Knuckles cannot.
- With the game having separate difficulty settings, each playable character and their move set can have different degrees of difficulty. Sonic's gameplay is the hardest overall due to his lack of any ways to take shortcuts and means to effectively fight the late game bosses. Tails' flying skills makes it easy to complete and scout the Zones and search for the Special Spring. Knuckles' movement capabilities make it easy to find power-ups and bypass hazards that Sonic would otherwise have to tackle head-on. Amy represents a unique challenge due to her lack of traditional attacks which are not automatic like the others but have more range and uses than the others, she is also the best at fighting bosses due to her longer range.[24]
- Sometimes, when the game crashes, the screen will turn sky blue and gray boxes come in from both sides of the screen, and then stop in the middle. This is more likely to be caused when the game is ran through a corrupter or on certain copies of the game. The screen closely resembles the lobby for Single Pak VS Mode, and uses the same music, which is not present in the Sound Test. The gray boxes screen also appears in Sonic Advance 2, albeit with a white background and different music.
- The original releases of Sonic Advance in all regions have a rather severe bug: deleting the main game's save file does not delete the Tiny Chao Garden data, but once you do so, Rings earned in the main game do not transfer over to the Tiny Chao Garden. There are two ways to revert this; using a video game enhancer such as GameShark or collecting the same number of Rings that had been collected before the game data was deleted. This was fixed in v1.1, only released in Japan, and in the Sonic Advance and Sonic Pinball Party combo pack.
- This is the second game to feature Amy in the Sound Test, the first one being Knuckles' Chaotix.
