Sonic The Hedgehog Advance Codes -

Tails as partner:
Highlight Sonic at the character selection screen and press Up. Next, highlight Tails and press Down. Then, highlight Knuckles and press L. Finally, highlight Amy and press R. Highlight Sonic and press A to select him. Tails will follow you during the game, but cannot be controlled.

Alternately, Sonic should already be highlighted at the character selection screen. Press Up, Right, Down, Right, L, Right, R, Right, A. If done correctly, Sonic will be highlighted again. Select him, and a ring sound will confirm correct code entry. Tails will follow you through the game but cannot be controlled. Repeatedly press A to make Tails fly. Note: Tails cannot pick you up while he is flying.

Level select:
When you first play the game, there will be a screen that asks what language to display then game in. Set it to Japanese. After the character selection screen. the level selection screen will be appear. Note: If you go to the options and change the language back to English, the level select will remain, as long as you do not delete all the game data.

Moon Zone:
Collect all seven Emeralds for all characters. Successfully complete the game as Sonic to unlock the Moon Zone.

Hidden sound test mode songs:
To get more than the 39 default songs in sound test mode, successfully complete The Moon Zone, Extra mode, or unlock the Super Sonic Ending. Three additional songs will be available.

Hint: Easy rings:
Play the first level. Press Start + Select + A + B to reset the game. Go to the Chao Garden and you will have the rings that were collected, but reset at the start of the next act of the level.

Play the special stage and immediately before you hit some rings, do any trick (tap B). You will get every ring in the row.

Go to time trial mode and play any level you are proficient at. Get lots of rings, then go to the Garden. The game will add the rings to your total.

As you know, if you restart your game, you will not be able to receive the rings from the end of an Act in your Tiny Chao Garden. However, if you buy a TV (which appears sometime after the Rubber Duck) for 8,000 rings, you can receive the rings again.

Hint: Easy points and lives:
Select the first level as Sonic and go through the last checkpoint in the middle. Then, wait for the timer to reach 9:59:99. You will eventually die and the timer will go back to 0:00:00. Keep going to the right and reach the goal. Your timer should be at 0:05:33 and you will receive a time bonus of 80,000 points and an extra life. This is the easiest way of getting lives. If you want to get two lives at the end of a level, do the Special stage and collect 120 rings or more.

Hint: Casino special stage: Unlimited tries
Get the checkpoint thing immediately before the spring. Then, try the special stage. If you fail, there is an extra life to the right, directly above the swinging boat thing. You can get unlimited tries because every time you die the extra life returns.

Hint: Casino Act 1: Easy points:
Choose Tails as a character. At the beginning of the stage, do a ball charge (Down + A). When you reach the end of the platform, you should get a higher jump. Then, jump off the small falling platform onto the highest point of the stage. Find the swirling thing and go through it. When you reach the ground, go to the right. There will be a flipper and five balls with stars. Jump on top of the flipper and when a ball is above you, jump. You should get a lot of points.

Hint: Ice Mountain Act 2: Get Emerald:
Chose Tails and when you fail to get the Emerald, go down. A check point is located there. Follow the string until you see a platform. There is an extra life and some spikes here. Get the life and die. Once you resume at the check point, fly up to get to the spring. Do this again if you fail.

Hint: Moon Zone: Rings:
Eggman will shoot opening and closing ball missiles at you. If you Speed Dash into one of them, it should explode and drop several rings for you to pick up.

Hint: Secret Base Act 1: Hidden area:
Choose Tails. Go to where the first hand swing is located. When it takes you down, go back to where it was found, then jump down and start flying. As soon as you start flying, do not press A. Tails will slowly go down and you should see another part of the level.

Hint: X-Zone Act 1: Defeating Eggman:
Once you make it to the final Eggman on the X-Zone Act 1, simply stay far away from him. If you see Robotnik using his robotic machine hand, wait until he tries to grab you. Dodge his hand and go over to him to attack. Continue to do this until you destroy his machine. Note this trick is extremely hard to do with Amy since you have to use her hammer.

Hint: Defeating Eggman:
After collecting the Chaos Emeralds, complete the game with all the characters. Complete Final Zone with Sonic again and you will turn into Super Sonic and go to a new stage. Tap buttons to escape his traps. Use your Head Bash on him eight times to defeat him. Be careful, as you will lose rings as you fight.

Hint: Defeating Ultimate Mecha:
When Mecha is blocked, it is a good time to collect rings. After it gets unblocked, jump and dash on the Mecha. If the asteroids appear, it is too late. If you hit it when lasers appear across the screen, do not hit him the next time it gets unblocked.

Hint: Amy: Grind:
Select Amy and go to any level. When you see a rail, press R on it to slide with her.

Hint: Amy: Jump higher:
G to any bouncer that sends you straight into the air (not diagonally). Hit it with her hammer to be shot almost twice as high in the air than just bouncing on it.

Hint: Amy: Swing hammer:
Press A while in the air then hold Down and keep pressing B. She should swing her hammer around.

Hint: Knuckles: Fourth attack:
To do a fourth attack as Knuckles, hold Down after the uppercut.

Hint: Knuckles: Skip on water:
Stand at about the middle of an island with water next to it. Jump, glide, and hit the water. You should start to jump up. Keep A held until you reach another island. You will get 200 points for every jump.

Hint: Sonic: Flip in air:
Use the following trick to make Sonic do flips in the air (and not turn into a ball with spikes). Press B + A three times.

Hint: Sonic: Air dash:
While in the air, rapidly press Left(3) or Right(3) and Sonic will dash in that direction.

Hint: Sonic: Flip:
Press B(2), A.

Hint: Fast Super Spin Dash:
Hold Down + A at least ten seconds during game play. Next, hold L for about five seconds and release all three buttons. Your character will do a fast Super Spin Dash. This trick works best with Sonic or Knuckles.

Hold Down + A rapidly about twenty times. You should see a large cloud of dust on back of Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles. Quickly release the buttons. If done correctly, the move should be faster than the normal Spin Dash.

Hint: Get your Chao to yell at you:
Note: This trick requires the television. Let the Chao walk around until it begins to watch the television. While it is watching it, pick up the television and he will begin to yell and scream at you.

Hint: Better Chao:
If you raise your Chao in the Tiny Chao Garden, it will become stronger and much faster than in the Big Chao Garden in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.

Hint: Rename Chao:
To change the name of your Chao, take the hand and move it over of your Chao's name. It should become highlighted. Press A for a new screen that has characters for your Chao's name. Press B to delete the current name then highlight the new characters and press A to give your Chao a new name. This is useful if you bought the game used, and do not like the name that your Chao was given.

Hint: Many Chaos quickly:
Note: This trick requires Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and the link cable. Send the Chao on the Tiny Chao Garden to Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Then, get a new egg in the Tiny Chao Garden. Since your first egg is free and the white eggs are free, you can get a large amount of Chao.

Hint: Chao always hungry:
Note: This trick requires Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and the link cable. Put the Chao you want to train into Sonic Advanced, then feed it until it is full. Trade the Chao the Gamecube. Immediately put it back onto Sonic Advanced and eight spaces in your Chao's belly will be empty. You can do this as many times as desired.

Hint: Get the Television in the Tiny Chao Garden:
First, get the Trumpet and the Duck, then win both of the mini-games there ( the two Game Boys at the top right corner of the screen). If you have 8,000 rings, then you can buy the Television. If not, then it is probably going to take a while to get it, depending on how much rings you have.

Glitch: Act 2: No damage:
