Super Monkey Ball Jr. on the GBA is basically the tiny, portable version of that weirdly addictive game where you tilt the world to roll monkeys in balls toward the goal. It’s got the same charm as the console ones—bright colors, wobbly physics, and those little banana pickups that make you go "just one more try" when you barely miss one.

Controls take some getting used to since you’re nudging your monkey with the D-pad instead of analog sticks, but after a few levels, you start nailing those tight corners. The stages are bite-sized, perfect for quick plays, though some later ones will have you sweating. Honestly, it’s impressive how much they squeezed into a GBA cart—even has those bonus minigames if you need a break from the main chaos.

If you’ve got a soft spot for early 2000s arcade-style weirdness, this one’s a solid time capsule.
