About the Game

In Sonic Advance, you join Sonic and his friends. Their big mission is to stop the evil Dr. Eggman. He wants to take over South Island. Players can choose from four cool characters. Each character has their own special moves.

Playable Characters

You can play as:

  • Sonic: He can defeat enemies with a special shield attack.
  • Tails: He has the amazing ability to fly through the air.
  • Knuckles: He can glide and climb up walls.
  • Amy: She uses her hammer to attack enemies. This was Amy's first time in a 2D Sonic game!

Other characters usually defeat enemies by jumping on them.

Tiny Chao Garden

The game also features a fun area called the Tiny Chao Garden. Here, you can raise a cute creature called a Chao. It's like having your own digital pet. As you play the main game, you collect rings.
