{{nihongo foot|'''''Tekken Advance'''''|鉄拳アドバンス|Tekken Adobansu|lead=yes|group=lower-alpha}} is a [[versus fighting game|fighting game]] released for the [[Game Boy Advance]].

It was the first Tekken game to be released on a Nintendo platform.
 
==Synopsis==
It is [[canon (fiction)|non-canonical]] to the ''[[Tekken]]'' storyline, but follows the events of ''[[Tekken 3]]''.
 
==Gameplay==
The gameplay in ''Tekken Advance'' is similar to other games in the series, but because it is on a portable system, the inputs were simplified or removed altogether. It utilizes a single-input system, with punchkick mapped to the A button, kickpunch 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 similar to [[Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance]], which was released 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.
 
==Characters==
{{see also|Characters of the Tekken series}}
*[[Lei Wulong]]
 
The game features most of the starter characters from ''Tekken 3'', with the exceptions of [[Eddy Gordo]] and [[Lei Wulong]]. [[Jack (Tekken)|Gun Jack]], who was unlockable in ''Tekken 3'', is playable from the start, with [[Heihachi Mishima]] being the sole unlockable character and final boss in lieu of [[Ogre (Tekken)|Ogre]].
