Amazing Arena is a large, toy-like factory where players bounce up springs, ride platforms, and enter tubes. Unlike the other four attractions in Knuckles' Chaotix, Amazing Arena has a unique gimmick: The player has to find the clock to bring color back into the entire attraction. In the top right corner of the heads-up display, a ghostly outline of the clock's location is briefly shown, with a colorful arrow pointing where the clock is located.
Additionally, there is also a two-handed clock that changes the time of day when the player returns to Newtrogic High Zone upon completing a Level in this attraction. Lastly, if the player reaches the goal without activating the clock, the completion will not be counted and the player will be sent back to Newtrogic High Zone as if nothing had happened.

Gameplay
This section requires an expansion.
Unlike the other stages, this stage has a requirement to beat each level: find the Switch. When the player finds the Switch, the lights come on and the stage becomes much more vivid. While it is a possible to beat the level without activating the Switch, the player will be forced to start over upon completion.
Unlike the other stages in Knuckles' Chaotix, this stage has a sub-boss. It appears about halfway through each level (though it is skippable) and its difficulty changes depending on which level it is fought on. For example: if fought during the first level, it will only require one hit to defeat.
At the end of Level 5, Dr. Robotnik will appear in a flying mech with a contraption that projects images of Badniks onto the screen in the background, making them come to life. The machine will sweep from side to side, just out of the player's reach. The only way it can be hit is if the player picks up and throws their partner at Robotnik. The battle ends when the contraption is destroyed and the Dark Ring powering it disintegrates, the player is then sent back to the World Entrance to select a different stage.
Trivia
This is the only attraction in the game to contain a sub-boss, although the attraction can be completed without defeating it.
After defeating the sub-boss, the player is awarded with a Super RingMonitor. Depending on when the sub-boss is fought, the number of Super Ring Monitors will increase.
