Play Franklin's Great Adventures (u)(trashman) Online

Franklin's Great Adventures, sometimes known by the filename Trashman, is a Game Boy Advance title from 2004. It was developed by Natsume, a company known for its work on various handheld games of that period. This platformer arrived when the GBA library was vast and diverse, filled with both major franchises and smaller, curious titles like this one.

You control Franklin, a young turtle tasked with cleaning up his polluted neighborhood. The main objective is to move through side scrolling levels, picking up litter and defeating enemies who are often the source of the mess. Signature mechanics include using a trash bag to vacuum up debris and a water hose to spray foes and solve simple environmental puzzles. The pacing is generally relaxed, though some platforming sections require careful jumps. Playing it feels like a straightforward, earnest chore transformed into a simple adventure.
