Route 99, listed as Route 99 Zone in the page titles, is the first zone of Sonic Advance 3. It breaks from the usual routine of the tropical island theme being the first level of the game, as it is a big city with yet-uncommon obstacles and the starting point of Sonic and Tails' adventure after being separated from their friends by Eggman's world-shattering experiments.

This mess of highway features a lot of straightaways to allow you to become accustomed to the game's high speeds, as well as some simple platforming, switch puzzles and rails to get you used to the Tag Action-based gameplay. Gimmicks include moving boxes, Star Light Zone-style see-saws, poles which launch you upwards, corkscrew bridges, and wheels that, when performing a Spin Dash on, open up optional platforming segments. Dangers include badniks, spike pits, death by crushing, and a brief bottomless pit near the end of Act 1.
