The mad scientist Dr. Eggman is hatching another dastardly plot to defeat Sonic and conquer the world. His plan is to build a Dr. Eggman Empire by turning all the innocent animals into robots to do his evil bidding. Only the lightning-quick Sonic can thwart Dr. Eggman’s sinister plan, with the help of his loyal pals, Amy, Knuckles and Tails.

Play as Sonic or one of his 3 buddies, collecting rings, avoiding a host of treacherous traps and enemies and finding a variety of items that will help players finish the stage. Players will need to work quickly to find the Chaos Emerald hidden in each Zone. At the end of every Zone players will have to defeat Dr. Eggman to progress. Sonic and friends must complete 7 challenging Zones before the final confrontation with Dr. Eggman.

Sonic Advance is the first game able to link to the Nintendo GameCube, allowing players to trade and raise special virtual pet like characters called “Chao” with Sonic Adventure 2: Battle on GameCube (Requires GCN GBA Cable, sold separately)
