The sixth game in the Ace Combat series and the first one to be released on portable consoles (Game Boy Advance). You fly as "Ace" in what appears to be a prequel to Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. Released in 2005.

Tropes used in Ace Combat Advance include:
  • 2½D: The game is 2D, but has the plane take off and dive through scaling.
  • Digitized Sprites: Appears to use these to avoid rendering 3D items.
  • Foregone Conclusion: Advance has you trying to protect the remaining independent republics from corporate takeover, but it's pretty clear in Electrosphere that it ended up happening anyway.
  • Mega Corp: General Resources.
  • Top Down View: The player sees the game from this angle.
  • Video Game 3D Leap: Inverted, to accommodate the hardware of the Game Boy Advance, the game was made as a 2D game with false depth and pre-rendered 3D models.
