So I think this one is probably... 2nd best, as far as Sonic Advance goes, with the first being my least favorite. This one isn't as wonderful as 2 was, but this was still fun. There aren't any silly unlockables this time around, but instead of hunting Special Rings, you're hunting for Chao. And once you find all of the Chao in a zone, you unlock the Chao Spring in each hub area for you to attempt to complete a Special Stage and collect a Chaos Emerald, and this time they stay the same between characters.
A main function is the partner system, where you pick a character, and then you have a partner. Different partners give you different abilities. For example, having Cream as your partner allows you to turn Cheese into a Chao based on your character, and then you can send Cheese after your foes, just as Cream can. And if Amy is your partner, you have a hammer you can use against enemies. And you can change characters at any time to suit your play style, it's just a lot of fun.
Levels seem bigger and encourage exploration, mostly to find the Chao in each stage. And after you find the Chao, you can find Keys to use on the Chao Spring, with up to 9 being able to be held at once, if memory serves correctly. I remember searching far and wide for Chao, mainly using Sonic and Tails, as Tails could launch you high into the air so you could make it to hard-to-reach platforms.
All in all, this game is fun, but I don't have as many fond memories as I did with Sonic Advance 2, but this still holds up fondly, if you ask me. As always, thanks for reading and I'll see you soon! :D
Have a nice day!~
