Ultimate Beach Soccer on the GBA is basically what happens when you take regular soccer, dump it on a beach, and crank up the chaos. The sand slows everything down just enough that you actually have time to pull off ridiculous bicycle kicks or curve shots around defenders—though half the time, you'll whiff completely and faceplant in the sand. Love that.

The vibe is pure summer: seagulls squawk in the background, palm trees sway near the goals, and the ref wears sunglasses (obviously). Matches are short and messy, which makes it perfect for quick rounds between bus rides. Pro tip: slide tackles work way better here than in real soccer—probably because nobody cares if you get sand everywhere.

It’s not FIFA, but that’s the point. You’ll lose hours trying to nail that perfect beach volley shot while the waves crash in the distance.
