Sonic Advance is, in gameplay terms, the only official candidate for a "Sonic 4". However, unfortunately, it just had to branch off from Sonic 2. Furthermore, SEGA has already ~~announced~~ released a different Sonic 4, therefore proving that Advance is just its own series. At least Cream the Rabbit and Cheese didn't exist yet.

Sonic Advance also set the stage for the later handheld games in terms of general format. Compare:

Game	Zone 1	Zone 2	Zone 3	Zone 4	Zone 5	Zone 6	Zone 7	Final	Extra
Advance 1	Grass	Industrial	Bouncy	Ice	Sky	Rocket	Space	Boss rush	Super Sonic
Advance 2	Grass	Lava	Bouncy	Ice	Sky	Cyber	Space	Boss rush	Super Sonic
Advance 3	Urban	Grass	Water/industrial	Bouncy	Ice	Cyber	Ruins	Final boss	Super Sonic
Rush	Grass	Water	Ruins	Bouncy	Airship/industrial	Sky	Space	Final boss	Super Sonic
Rush Adventure	Grass	Industrial	Underground	Ghostly	Ice	Sky	Urban	Final boss	Super Sonic
