GBA GBA platformer recs

You GOTTA try Klonoa, dude.

It's a puzzle game at its core, but makes platforming into a problem-solving tool.

That’s on my to-play list ?
I adored the ps1 game to heart, and was grateful to find out there was a gba game!

I think it’s worth noting my emulator (at the time) was really… buggy. Weird audio glitches that I checked wasn’t on original hasrdware and other quirks. I was recommended not to use it so some of the blame might fall on me.

I played almost all of these and they’re fantastic. Last two I haven’t tried.

If that's the case, hop on Drill Dozer immediately, do it right now.

Metalgun Slinger, especially if you've played Xenogears!

Blender Bros. was one of the few GBA games I've owned and enjoyed back in the day. Interesting I just noticed it was developed by Hudson-soft but only released in North America.

I imagine you already know what I'm gonna recommend you at this point lol (Crash series except Purple, even the Titans port is pretty decent.) But actually you gotta hit up the Wario Land games on there, and the Super Mario Advance series. I think those really improve on the originals and breath new life into them without taking the style away. That port of Yoshi's Island is awesome.

Haha way ahead of you with crash! They’re actually why I started the thread in the first place because I got curious if there’s other obscure decent gba platformers ?
I’m really liking them and about to finish them!

Nice titan shout though. Could try that one out!

I'm not 100% on what it actually does but Titans is kinda cool because it was one of the games that could connect with the DS version of the game through the GBA slot and add stuff. I see you got Klonoa, I haven't tried the GBA ones yet, I should try those out.
