Sonic Advance/Gameplay

Sonic Advance attempts to play as a classic Sonic platformer, adopting many elements from the Genesis era Sonic games while incorporating newer elements from the Dreamcast Sonic games to keep the formula fresh. Along with the three classic main characters established in Sonic 1, Sonic 2, and Sonic 3, Advance adds a new character introduced in the Genesis era, now playable for the first time. As is usually the goal in Sonic games, collect rings, find the seven Chaos Emeralds, speed through a variety of zones, and take down Dr. Eggman.

Characters
There are four playable characters in Sonic Advance: Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and Amy Rose. For basic controls, see the controls page.

Use the advantages of the different characters to find the Chaos Emeralds laid out within each zone and go for the good ending!
