The
gameplay in "Tekken Advance" is similar to other games in the series, but because it is on portable machine, the programmers made the inputs simplified or removed altogether. It utilizes a single-input system, with punch mapped to the A button, kick to the B button, and the left and right triggers used for tagging and throws, respectively. The game also included a side-step feature that made the game have a 3D feel like Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance also did later the same year.Despite the simplification, "Tekken Advance" introduces new mechanics by implementing a wide range of "stun" variations such as "pop stuns", "crumple stuns" and right/left stuns.
