For me, I like to press that "random game" button on my miyoo mini, so I've encountered a few odd titles; such as: Go! Go! Beckham!, a side scrolling soccer platformer (in retrospect, it actually is somewhat similar mechanically to Billy Hatcher). Iridion 2, a shmup that looks way better than any GBA title has any right to be. Banjo Pilot, the "sequel" to Diddy Kong Racing you never knew existed. Super Robot Pinball on GBC, robot mech fighting powered by a pinball machine.

I can't recall the name of it, but there was one SNES game I found that was one part ARPG, and one part Breakout. Hope to find it again someday


Go! Go! Beckham! Adventure on Soccer Island (Game Boy Advance - 2002)  [Présentation]
 
I remember seeing Go! Go! Beckham! thinking I could actually turn into Beckham himself Unfortunately, it doesn't have David Beckham costumes but it was fun nonetheless

Other than that, there's only a few games that I randomly discovered such as:
Virtua Racing - I was just searching in ᏟDᏒ for every racing games in each consoles, then I'm in the 32x sections and found that. The game while not as smooth, is still quite fun as an arcade game. Visually, it is decent to see for it's time. Overall, it's pretty good

Donkey Kong (GB): This is the most advanced game for a Game Boy, it's so advanced that even some of these sound effects and ideas gets reused. The only 2D Mario game at the time that have a 3D movement mixed with something else like backflip, handstand, high handstand jump and to even execute it like the triple jump.
Level designs are just fantastic, it always follow the themes so well no matter where you are like the volcano, the castle, a ship and an airplane? That's crazy! The boss fight is pretty easy, either you reach to the top or defeat Donkey Kong by throwing back anything that he and his Jr throws at you.
But of course it's easy as long as you know how to complete it (it will get so much harder in the final stage). With all that being said, one that haven't tried it, try check it out
 
While I don't believe that it's precisely going to blow anyone away, Magical Chase is a game worth

playing till completion. A wonderful little Cute em' up for the PC Engine with gorgeous visuals, forgiving difficulty (for the most part) and good controls.
If you ever played Trouble Witches Neo, then you will unmistakably see the resemblance to the flying store in this game and the one in that game.
Worthy of note is that the US release has quite a few localized sprites, the main character for example was made objectively less cute to appeal to a western audience that was assumed to not be into that, foolishly so.
