Play Hey Arnold! The Movie (e)(asgard) Online

I picked up Hey Arnold! The Movie for the Game Boy Advance back in 2002. It was published by THQ, a common name for licensed games on the system. This was during the GBA's early years, a time when you saw a lot of movie tie-ins and side-scrolling platformers on the handheld. The game follows the plot of the film, putting you right in the middle of Arnold and Gerald's adventure to save their neighborhood from a corporate takeover.

You control Arnold, navigating through urban environments screen by screen. The main goal is to stop the developer's plan, which involves platforming across rooftops, ducking under obstacles, and using a slingshot to pop enemy balloons. You collect items to progress and talk with characters from the show to get information. The pacing is straightforward, though some jumps require precise timing. It feels like a condensed version of the movie's story, a simple mission you can complete in an afternoon.
