Route 99 (ルート99 Rūto 99?) is the first Zone of Sonic Advance 3. It is a highly urbanized area and one of the parts of the earth that Dr. Eggman created when he broke the planet apart with Chaos Control.

Description

It lies on the outskirts of a large metropolis. It appears to be a highway near the city. It has three Acts, a boss fight and a Special Stage spring.

Boss

Main article: Egg Hammer 3

The boss here starts off with a fight with Gemerl. To defeat him, the player needs to hit him four/two times. Then the characters are escorted to fight with the Egg Hammer 3. To defeat it, the player will need to know when he's going to hit the player. The hammer will smash left and right alternatively. When Dr. Eggman smashes down, the player needs to smash his face in. The player needs to hit him eight/six times for him to be destroyed.

Trivia

  • The city background of this Zone appears to be based on a pre-2001 Lower Manhattan as a skyscraper that resembles the North Tower of the former World Trade Center complex (as well as other buildings that resemble the surrounding World Financial Center) can be seen amongst the skyline. The original building was destroyed in the 11 September attacks, nearly three years before the release of Sonic Advance 3.
  • The music that plays in the Zone is a remix of the music of Tails' Lab from Sonic Battle.
  • The name of this Zone could be a reference to the famous U.S. highway, Route 66.
  • Route 99's music has the same countermelody as Emerald Beach's music from Sonic Battle.
  • A remix of Act 1's music is unlockable in Sonic Generations.
  • A remix of Route 99 Act 1's music appears as one of the selectable songs that can be played in events in Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
