My Little Pony Crystal Princess - The Runaway Rainbow is exactly the kind of licensed GBA game you'd expect—a slow, bare-bones trot through Ponyville with zero surprises. Your pony moves at a glacial pace (no running, ever), and instead of saving normally, you’re stuck scribbling down passwords like it’s 1995. The mini-games are forgettable at best, and the cutscenes? Just recycled clips from the show.

Honestly, unless you’re a hardcore My Little Pony fan under the age of 10—or really, really into pastel-colored boredom—there’s not much here. Even the sparkles feel half-hearted. Stick to the cartoons.
