If you grew up watching Dora, this GBA game feels like stepping right into an episode—just with buttons instead of shouting at the TV. You’re basically her sidekick now, helping her and Boots hop between different little worlds, solving basic puzzles (think "match the shapes" or "find the hidden path"), and picking up Spanish words along the way. The graphics are bright and cartoony, exactly like the show, and the music’s that same cheerful soundtrack you either love or will have stuck in your head for days.

It’s definitely aimed at younger kids, but there’s something weirdly satisfying about guiding Dora past obstacles—like outsmarting that sneaky fox Swiper before he swipes your stuff. Some of the minigames get repetitive if you’re older, but hey, it’s Dora. You know what you’re signing up for. Toss it in your backpack if you’ve got a long car ride with a little sibling.
