Unused Music
Invincibility
An alternate invincibility tune, later used in Sonic Advance 2 and Sonic Advance 3.
Debug Save
Not having an SRAM chip on the cartridge will unlock everything in the game. This is also the case for the other Sonic Advance games.
Revisional Differences
The original releases in all regions have a rather severe bug:
An address keeps track of the total amount of rings collected in the main game. When accessing the Tiny Chao Garden, the value in the address is read and stored by the Tiny Chao Garden to keep track of the ring count. When deleting the save data, the value gets erased.
As a result, rings collected in the main game will no longer transfer to the Tiny Chao Garden until the total amount of rings collected in the main game matches that of the value stored by the Tiny Chao Garden prior to the save being deleted. This was fixed in the various double pack releases containing Sonic Advance and the Japan only v1.1 by not erasing the ring total when deleting the save data.
The original US and Japanese versions have English and Japanese language selection. The double pack releases added Spanish, French, and German from the European version.
