Sonic Advance features four playable characters; Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and, for the first time as a playable character in a classic-style 2D Sonic game, Amy Rose. Sonic can have Tails follow him, Sonic 2-style, by entering a special code at the character select screen. All characters have separate save-games which record their individual progress.
The player must play through 6 normal Zones, followed by the X-Zone and The Moon Zone if certain conditions are met. Each of the normal Zones contain two Acts. Act 1 is completed by passing a signpost and Act 2 is completed by defeating one of Dr. Eggman's machines and opening the capsule that subsequently falls from the sky, releasing the captive animals. Sonic Advance was the last game in the Sonic series until Sonic the Hedgehog 4 to use end-level signposts and capsules and Sonic's leg spin animation, and the first 2D Sonic game that allows the player's character to grind on rails.
The Special Stages are accessible from Special Springs, which are placed in specific locations in certain Acts. Each normal Zone contains one Special Spring, except for Ice Mountain Zone which contains two: one in each Act. Chaos Emeralds can be collected if one passes the stage. The Chaos Emeralds are "shared" between characters. Once the player has collected all the Emeralds and completed the X-Zone with all four characters, they can access the Moon Zone by completing the X-Zone again with Sonic.
This is one of several games to include the Tiny Chao Garden mini-game. It is unlocked by default in this game.
