Line 19:

* [[All There in the Manual]] - The Japanese supplementary material for the first game reveals backstory on the Angel Island Zone boss, {{spoiler|Metal Knuckles. Apparently, Eggman began making it in secret while he had the real Knuckles tricked into thinking Sonic was bad guy in ''[[Sonic 3 and Knuckles|Sonic The Hedgehog 3]]'', secretly examining the echidna behind his back, and it was finally ready to go in this game}}. Because not everyone has read this supplementary material, {{spoiler|Metal Knuckles}} may come across as a [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]].
* [[Artistic License Physics]]: In Route 99 Act 1 in ''Sonic Advance 3'', there is an inverted loop near the end of the level where Sonic spits in the face of gravity by completely traversing its outside circumference and goes upside down over a pit unaided before quickly returning to the surface. This would be completely impossible to pull off in real life--no matter how fast an object goes, it would not be able to blatantly defy gravity like this, and Sonic would have fallen clean off the thing.
* [[Back
* [[Back That Light Up]] - The third game had different color settings to suit different [[Game Boy Advance]] backlight arrangements.
* [[Band Land]] - Music Plant Zone in the second game.
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
* [[Cyberspace]]/[[Tomorrowland]] - Techno Base from ''2'', Cyber Track from ''3''.
* [[Down the Drain]] / [[Underwater Base]] - Ocean Base in the third game.
* [[Earthshattering Kaboom]]:
* [[Enemy Switch-Out]]: The Teleporter Monitor.
* [[Eternal Engine]]: It wouldn't be a Sonic game without such levels.
** Secret Base, Egg Rocket, and Cosmic Angel in the first game.
Line 56 ⟶ 58:
** Sonic Advance 2 may have had the hardest activation of the special stages, but their stages were '''much''' easier than the ones in Sonic Advance 1 or 3. 3's stages were incredibly difficult compared to the previous game, especially the last one, and unlike the second game which had a strategy guide to walk you through the locations of everything important, the third game didn't have one to help you out, so you were completely on your own.
* [[Nostalgia Level]] - Several from Sonic Advance: Neo Green Hill Zone, Casino Paradise, Cosmic Angel/X-Zone and The Moon are all obvious homages to [[Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)|Green Hill Zone]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2|Casino Night]], [[Sonic 3 and Knuckles|the Death Egg and The Doomsday respectively.]]
** Sunset Hill in Advance 3 is what Green Hill became after Eggman's reality warping experiments at the beginning of the game.
* [[Not the Fall That Kills You]] - {{spoiler|If the Sonic 2-like rescue scene in Advance 1's ending wasn't enough, Advance 2's first ending shows the player character falling from space to the ground without any injuries.}}
** For that matter, the ending of 2 {{spoiler|when you clear True Area 53. Is Vanilla really that much more likely to survive falling from space if she's in Sonic's arms at the time?}}
*** Considering Sonic's apparently immune to falling damage, one could assume that if he lands feet-first and everything's fine. Though he does have a habit of falling face-first instead...
Line 63 ⟶ 65:
* [[Platform Battle]] - Goddamn it, Twinkle Snow Eggman.
* [[Power of Friendship]] - The gimmick of the third game.
* [[Recurring Boss]] - The Egg Hammer Tank from [[Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure|Pocket Adventure]] appears in both Sonic Advance 1 and 2, and gets a [[Spiritual Successor]] in 3.<ref>The third game's hammer boss also shows up in ''[[Sonic Rush Series]]''.</ref> The Egg Snake appears in Advance 1 and 3. There are other throwbacks as well: Advance 2's Techno Base Boss is a improved version of Pocket Adventure's Secret Plant Boss, for example.
** It also applies across the games themselves: The boss of Cosmic Angel from the first is slightly altered and appears as Chaos Angel's boss from the 3rd. Ocean Base's boss feels like a [[X Meets Y|cross]] between the bosses of Secret Base in the first game and Egg Utopia in the second game.
* [[Ring Out Boss]] - The boss in the third game's Toy Kingdom Zone.
