Play Elf Bowling 1 & 2 (u)(trashman) Online

Elf Bowling 1 & 2 came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2005 from Black Lantern Studios. It was a time when a lot of smaller, simpler games were being ported to handhelds, and this one brought a pair of flash games to a cartridge.

You control Santa Claus, who is bowling with elves as the pins. The main goal is to knock down all the elves in each frame to progress. You aim your throw by moving Santa left or right, then hold a button to charge your power and release to send the ball rolling. Sometimes the elves throw things back at you, like fruit or presents, which you can dodge or knock aside with another ball. The game moves quickly from one lane to the next, and the difficulty comes from the elves' erratic movements and their counterattacks. It feels like a silly, repetitive time waster that is more amusing than challenging.
