Woody Woodpecker: Crazy Castle 5 is one of those GBA games that feels like it was made for quick bursts of play—you know, when you're waiting for the bus or just killing time. It's got that classic maze-runner vibe where you dodge enemies, grab keys, and try not to get wrecked by falling anvils (because of course Woody’s world has random anvils).

The controls are simple—just run, jump, and occasionally chuck a snowball at a grumpy dog—but some of the later levels get sneaky with their traps. The music’s got that bouncy, cartoony energy, and the pixel art actually holds up pretty well for a licensed game. It won’t blow your mind, but it’s a solid little time-waster if you’re into retro platformers. Just don’t expect anything deeper than “ha-ha, Woody got bonked on the head again.”
