Kira Kira Kids is one of those Game Boy gems that feels like it was made just to put a dumb grin on your face. The pixel art pops with these bright, almost neon colors—way more vibrant than most games from that era. You’re basically bouncing between these weirdly charming mini-games, like a mix of WarioWare and a Saturday morning cartoon.

At first, I thought it was just a cute time-waster, but some of the challenges sneak up on you. There’s this one rhythm mini-game where you’re tapping buttons to keep these little creatures dancing in sync, and failing miserably is half the fun. The music’s got that classic chiptune pep, too—catchy in a way that sticks in your head longer than it should.

If you’ve got a soft spot for quirky retro handheld games, this one’s a no-brainer. Just don’t blame me when you’re humming the theme song three days later.
