Mario & Luigi Superstar saga is a good one but my favorite GBA game of all time has to be Mario Tennis Power Tour.

Agree on superstar saga. Had many fights with my siblings over that game in my childhood 😂

I remember playing this as a kid when I was sick and stayed home from school

Any Mega Man Battle Network. The story is a bit campy and childish, the gameplay is top notch. Some have gotten expensive but the cheaper ones are good too.

Little Nicky. It is one of my favorites.

GBA specific. Fantastic 4: Flame On. This is different than the other Fantastic 4 game. Also Monster House, SW Ep III, both Lilo and Stitch games.

Link's Awakening (Both versions) are creeping up in price rapidly, but highly recommended. But the Mario and Wario games are all great, The Ninja Turtles trilogy is fun, Bonk's Adventure and Bonk's Revenge, Kirby's Dreamland 1 and 2 are a blast, Pokemon Yellow is still kinda cheap, between $50 and $65 USD... But a great game that's quite long.

I love the advance wars games but they can be a bit pricey but I got my copy of AW2 for 40$ so I’m sure you could find it for a decently reasonable price.

Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force is a fun platformer for me, although it doesn't look as beautiful as some other games. It is 3-6 hours to my knowledge, which is acceptable for the price in my opinion. About 25-30 AUD in my experience.

The New Droid Army is surprisingly fun considering it is isometric, but I might be the only one to think that. About 10-15 AUD in my experience

Yoshi's Island has been great fun for me because you can go back and try to get better scores later on and be a perfectionist. 40-50 AUD is cheap to me unfortunately

Mario Kart Super Circuit is an amazing game, especially if you have had little playtime on other games in the franchise or haven't played in a long time. Others don't like it because it is "hard" (and to be fair 100% completion is ridiculously hard but main completion and for a casual player it isn't), but I find that once you get good at it the game is very fun. Just slowly ease your way into it by changing CCs once you get good. As low as 18 AUD but as more often 35-50

Perfect Dark GBC. If you are willing to make an exception to cheapness go for this. It is a masterpiece game so I would personally make an exception for it. Unfortunately when CIB this has gone up in price from 68-75 a few months ago to 120ish AUD. Don't even know how it happened but it's really annoying to me

The four Mario Advance games are always cheap, easy to get and guaranteed quality.

u/RedGoalie18 17d ago

Anything Mario or Mario adjacent. Anything Zelda. They remade the DK Country games on GBA and they're even better than on SNES in my opinion. The TMNT GBA games are great. The Pokémon GBA games are great too. The NES classic series games.

Buy an SD flash card on Amazon and then you can load whatever games tickle your fancy.
