Route 99 is the first Zone of Sonic Advance 3. It breaks from the usual routine of the being the first level of the game, as it is a big city with yet-uncommon obstacles. It is the starting point of Sonic and Tails' adventure after being separated from their friends by Eggman's world-shattering experiments with Chaos Control.
Contents
Overview
This mess of highway features a lot of straightaways to allow the player 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 the player 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.
Music
The music for this Zone incorporates elements of the theme for Tails' Lab from Sonic Battle. Its music was later remixed for Sonic Generations, Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games and Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
