These bonus levels are absent from the Game Boy Advance version. Moreover, most are not available in two-player mode, with the exception of Gungan Roundup.

• Battle Droid —Armed with a blaster rifle, the B1 Battle Droid is also capable of hand-to-hand combat.
• Battle Droid Pilot —Pilot Droids are unarmed, making them vulnerable at long range, and rely on melee attacks.

• Commander Droid —Distinguished by their yellow markings, Commander Droids are stronger than Security Droids.
• Rifle battle droid - A standard Trade Federation B-1 battle droid equipped with a heavy rocket-firing rifle.
• Flamethrower Droid —This slightly heavier Battle Droid uses flamethrowers instead of blasters, and its flames cannot be blocked.
• Grapple Droid —Slightly larger than standard Battle Droids, Grapple Droids depend solely on melee attacks. They are distinguished by their gray color.
• Destroyer Droid - Feared even by Jedi Knights, Destroyer Droids fire rapid streams of blaster fire. In this game, they lack shield generators.
• Grapple Destroyer Droid —These droids rely exclusively on hand-to-hand combat.
• Plasma Droid —A larger Battle Droid variant similar in appearance to the Flamethrower Droid but with green markings and plasma blasts emitted from its "hands."

• Sith Probe Droid - Two types exist: a smaller one that fires single blasts and a larger one that fires three shots at once.
• Armored Krakkiss - A large, armadillo-like creature found on Tatooine.
• Coruscant mercenary — Four mercenary types are present ( Kajain'sa'Nikto , Rodian , Ishi Tib and M'shento'su'Nikto ), each possessing unique abilities.
• Gungan Warrior —These warriors defend sacred Gungan ruins and flee after being defeated.
• Darth Maul —Darth Sidious's apprentice wields a double-bladed lightsaber and commands numerous dark side powers.

• The PlayStation and Dreamcast versions of the game exhibit several gameplay differences: Ki-Adi Mundi, although absent from the PlayStation version, is mentioned in the credits. The PlayStation version's 'Jedi Mode' does not affect the game's difficulty. The Dreamcast version includes a training arena that also functions as a two-player versus arena, which is absent from the PlayStation version. In the PlayStation version, computer panels can be destroyed for extra points, a feature not present in the Dreamcast version.
• When playing as Queen Amidala during "Theed Palace," she remains silent during the level's two cutscenes.
• Darth Maul's voice in "Theed Palace" differs from his voice in "Tatooine," where he uses Mace Windu's voice.
• Qui-Gon Jinn inexplicably remains alive following the Battle of Naboo .
• Engaging in a two-player game restricts the player's ability to unlock all bonus levels except for the Survival Challenge.
• Mace Windu's lightsaber is blue, mirroring the Episode I action figure of Samuel L. Jackson , as George Lucas had not yet approved the purple lightsaber seen in Episode II . (His blue lightsaber may be considered canon, as his lightsaber hilt also changes between Episodes I and II).
• Power-ups are usable in the PlayStation version.

In the "Final Battle," Darth Maul respawns at the energy bridge within the Theed generator room after being defeated. If the player retreats and descends to the catwalk below the three rings, another Darth Maul appears, resulting in a simultaneous battle against two Darth Mauls.
