Sonic Advance is easily the best of the trilogy, almost as good as the Genesis games. Only thing I don't like about it is the game is way too short. I like the addition of Amy too, and I actually like how she doesn't have the same abilities as the others. It's almost like playing on hard mode.

Sonic Advance 2 is alright, but I really hate that they emphasized the speed aspect of the game too much. The level literally starts you out in a "on your mark" stance, in the level layouts are all designed like "press right and you win". Even the boss battles start you off in running position. They also ruined Amy by making her basically the same character as the rest of them. She no longer has her attributes. Not a terrible game, but definitely the worst in the series.

Sonic Advance 3 is interesting. Instead of changing Amy back, they basically came up with a system that allows you to pick how you want the characters to play. So Amy is available in both Sonic Advance 1 and 2 form. The whole team mechanic thing is pretty cool, and it's fun to play around and see what character combination works the best. They are so improved the level design from 2 so that it's not near as linear. This is a great game, but I still prefer Sonic Advance 1.
