This guide takes you through all 41 story missions of Grand Theft Auto Advance in order, then covers every race, side job and collectible you need for 100 percent completion. Start with the walkthrough if you want the shortest path, or open an island page to see its contacts, hideout and missions.
How the guide is organized
The game is top-down. Missions start when you drive or walk into a contact marker, and each one unlocks the next from the same boss. Money is the only prize for most jobs, and a failed mission can be tried again from its marker. The guide is split three ways: one page per island for places and missions, one page for each side activity, and one page for the checklist.
If you only want the story, follow the walkthrough. If you want 100 percent, keep the checklist open next to it, because the walkthrough tells you where each side job fits best.
