Franklin’s Great Adventures on the GBA is one of those cozy, low-stakes games that just feels like a warm hug. You play as Franklin (y’know, the turtle from the kids’ books and shows), bouncing around colorful levels, solving simple puzzles, and helping out his animal friends. It’s not exactly a challenge—more like a relaxed afternoon kind of game.

The controls are basic, but that’s part of the charm. You’ll push blocks, collect berries, and occasionally ride a skateboard for no real reason other than it’s fun. The music’s got that early 2000s handheld vibe—chipper and repetitive in the best way. If you grew up with Franklin, it’s a nostalgia trip; if not, it’s still a cute little time capsule of GBA-era platformers.

Honestly, it won’t blow your mind, but there’s something comforting about how straightforward it is. Perfect for when you just want to unwind with something simple. Grab some juice boxes and pretend it’s 2003 again.
