Okay, so Strawberry Shortcake - Summertime Adventure is one of those GBA games you probably played as a kid if you were into the whole pastel, dessert-themed vibe. It’s exactly what it sounds like—you run around Strawberryland picking berries, helping friends with little tasks, and basically just soaking up that aggressively cheerful aesthetic.

The controls are simple (it’s a kids’ game, after all), but there’s something weirdly relaxing about wandering through candy-colored fields and solving tiny puzzles. I remember getting stuck for way too long on a berry-matching minigame because kid-me had zero patience. The Special Edition throws in some extra outfits and maybe a bonus level, but honestly, it’s mostly about the nostalgia.

If you’re looking for deep gameplay, this isn’t it—but if you want to revisit early 2000s licensed games or just need something sugary sweet to unwind with, it’s a decent little time capsule.
