Okay, so Pink Panther Pinkadelic Pursuit on the GBA is... weirdly charming? It’s this side-scrolling platformer where you play as the Pink Panther—yeah, the cartoon one—hopping through these bright, almost psychedelic levels. The controls are floaty, which takes some getting used to, but once you adjust, it’s kinda fun just bouncing around collecting gems and dodging weird enemies like giant bees.

First level throws you right into it—no tutorial, just pink grass, floating platforms, and this jazzy soundtrack that feels like it’s straight out of the cartoons. You’ll probably die a few times figuring out the jumps (that panther has some serious air time), but the checkpoints are merciful. Also, no idea why some platforms randomly turn invisible—it’s either a glitch or the devs just really wanted to mess with us.

Not gonna lie, it’s janky in that early-2000s licensed game way, but there’s something oddly satisfying about it. Maybe it’s the nostalgia, or maybe it’s just fun seeing the Pink Panther do a little victory dance every time you finish a level. Either way, it’s a weird little time capsule.
