Tokyo Xtreme Racer Advance is one of those GBA racers that somehow makes tiny pixel cars feel fast and furious. You're basically street racing through Tokyo at night, weaving through traffic and taking on rivals one-on-one—no fancy tracks, just tight city streets and neon-lit highways.

At first, the handling feels a little stiff, but once you get used to it, there's something weirdly satisfying about nailing those drifts around tight corners. The rival system keeps things tense—you'll spot other racers cruising around, and if you tailgate them long enough, they'll bite and challenge you. Win, and you get cash to trick out your ride. Lose, and... well, try not to lose.

It's not the prettiest racer on the GBA, but the sense of speed and the risk-reward duels make it way more fun than it has any right to be. Just don't expect Gran Turismo levels of polish.
