Super Donkey Kong on the GBA is basically the same classic platformer you remember, but now you can take it anywhere. The first thing that hits you is how bright and crisp everything looks—those pixelated vines and barrels pop way more than they did on the old SNES. And yeah, the controls still feel tight, even on a tiny D-pad.

You’ll be doing the usual stuff—jumping over pits, tossing barrels at Kremlings, and rescuing bananas (because apparently DK can’t go five minutes without them). The levels start simple, but by world 3, you’re timing jumps between moving platforms while dodging those annoying Zingers. Pro tip: hold down the run button more than you think you need to—trust me.

It’s not some fancy remake, just the same great game in your pocket. Perfect for bus rides or pretending to listen in meetings.
