Surf's Up on the GBA is one of those movie tie-ins that actually gets the vibe right. You play as different birds—like Cody or Chicken Joe—catching waves in quick, arcade-style surfing challenges. The controls are simple (mostly just balancing and timing tricks), but nailing a perfect run feels surprisingly satisfying.

It’s not super deep, but the courses have little hazards like rocks or rival surfers that keep things from getting repetitive. And yeah, the graphics are obviously limited on the GBA, but the animations have this goofy charm that fits the movie’s style. If you’re into short-burst sports games, this one’s a solid pick.
