Mario Kart Advance is that classic GBA version where you get all the chaotic kart racing you love, just shrunk down for your Game Boy. The tracks are tight, the items hit hard, and the AI doesn’t hold back—especially on 150cc. I still remember getting wrecked by Bowser shells right before the finish line.

It’s got all the usual suspects—Mario, Luigi, Peach—but the real fun is in the nitro tracks. Some of them twist in ways that make you forget you’re playing on a tiny screen. And yeah, the drift mechanics take a second to get used to, but once you nail it, snaking around corners feels way too satisfying.

If you’ve got a GBA lying around, this one’s still a blast to pick up and race through.
