Game Boy Advance Video Pokãƒâ©mon Volume 1 Box Art

Nintendo'due south Game Boy made its Japanese debut on April 21, 1989. With a murky screen and chunky physical pattern, Game Boy wasn't the most impressive of game systems — but what information technology lacked in ability, it made up for in affordability ... and, over time, an incredible library. Ask any Game Boy owner for a list of their favorite games and you'll become a huge diverseness of answers thanks to the fact that the system saw north of 1000 games over its lifetime, many of which were expert and some of which were truly cracking.

Ahead of Game Male child'south 30th anniversary on Sun, hither are the 30 greatest games and franchises ever to announced on the system.

X

Nintendo

30. X

(Argonaut/Nintendo, 1992)

An absolute tour-de-strength of Game Boy technical prowess, X came to u.s. from the same people who would deliver Star Fox a year later for Super NES. Obviously, running on a monochrome handheld with no enhancement chips leaves Ten technologically inferior to its 16-bit sibling, but the spirit is much the same. In some ways, X hints more toward Star Play tricks two. Its fully 3D wireframe engine allows for gratuitous-range move beyond a planetary surface rather than beingness restricted to track-based movement, and there's even a mission structure at piece of work. It'south a flake crude, but this is a cart worth owning just to evidence to your friends as a fun party fob: True 3D activeness on Game Male child!

29. Trip World

(Sunsoft, 1993)

This rare and highly sought-after Japan- and Europe-exclusive release looks like your typical action platformer at a glance, but in truth Trip Globe takes an unconventional approach to the genre. It downplays conflict and combat in favor of simply allowing the player to have a journey — a trip, if you lot will — through its world. Along the way, you encounter unique creatures and mannerly little pantomime scenarios, punctuated occasionally by cursory and challenging face-offs against the few hostile characters that announced along the style. All of this is framed with some of the finest graphics and audio always to grace the Game Boy. It's a little hard to describe what makes Trip Earth and so appealing, but there'due south no denying its excellence.

28. Game Boy Wars/Turbo

(Intelligent Systems/Nintendo/Hudson, 1991)

We know this series as Advance Wars in America, but it really got its kickoff on Famicom under another name earlier marching along to Game Male child. While information technology doesn't wait quite every bit pretty or accept the wacky leader personalities of the later games, the fundamental design and appeal remains the same. Y'all control an regular army unit-by-unit, jockeying for territory past putting your forces against the other side and allowing the computer to determine the winner of each engagement. While never officially localized into non-Japanese languages, in that location's a partial fan translation for the Turbo re-release that significantly reduces the CPU's thinking time and greatly speeds up the pace of the experience.

The Sword of Promise

Kemco-Seika

27. The Sword of Hope (serial)

(Kemco-Seika, 1990)

Remember Shadowgate and those other classic Icom reckoner adventure games that showed upward on NES? Those were converted to the system by Japanese publisher Kemco, and the company took notes. A year after Shadowgate, Kemco reworked the Icom interface and style into something that hewed closer to the likes of Dragon Quest. The consequence is an interesting and 1-of-a-kind hybrid of American adventure game and Japanese RPG, where players navigate the globe and solve environmental puzzles in the style of the former but need to fight off monsters with a combat organization taken from the latter. An overlooked high signal of the Game Boy's early days.

26. Chalvo 55

(Japan Supply System, 1997)

Here'southward an odd one: Chalvo 55 came out incredibly late in the Game Boy's life, and information technology was a sort of semi-sequel to a Virtual Boy game that never actually shipped. Similar Game Boy Wars, this ane never made its way to the U.Due south. Chalvo 55 takes the form of a pure action game, a sort of conundrum in which yous play every bit a billowy robot trying to work your style through tricky platforming challenges with a combination of brains and twitch skill.

25. Avenging Spirit

(Jaleco, 1992)

You ever play one of those games that feels similar it showed upwardly fashion too early on to earn the praise information technology deserved? Avenging Spirit is one of those. An adaptation of an obscure arcade game, Avenging Spirit centers effectually a play mechanic that came dorsum around a decade or more later in the likes of Abe's Oddysee, Omikron, and The third Altogether: You lot can possess and command other characters. By default, you lot play every bit a more or less helpless ghost who volition vanish birthday without a host, which forces y'all to jump into the enemies you encounter along the mode. The character y'all possess determines your powers and potential at any given moment, which lends the activeness a bully bargain of diversity. Avenging Spirit has get one of Game Boy's "holy grail" titles and commands a loftier price, but for now you tin hands check it out for $2.99 on Virtual Console for 3DS.

24. Harvest Moon GB

(Natsume, 1998)

Harvest Moon on a handheld works for the same reason Brute Crossing typically fares best in its portable incarnations: The systemic, schedule-based, conflict-free arroyo is the kind of affair you tin can jump into pretty much whatever time you want to chill out and bask some low-stress gaming. Manage a farm, befriend the critters, discover a gal to settle downward with and marry — Harvest Moon is a far cry from your typical Game Boy fare. And admittedly, this version is considerably more than simplistic than the sequels that followed, with fewer systems and no real-fourth dimension clock. That doesn't change the fact that it's a perfectly pleasant mode to while away some time, which is precisely what Game Boy was designed for.

23. Cave Noire

(Konami, 1991)

I of the things that helped propel Game Boy to its epic success was the system's suitability for quick, pick-up-and-play game sessions — that's what made Tetris such a perfect pack-in. This Japan-merely release (yeah, there's a fan translation) from Konami applies that philosophy to the roguelike genre, presenting players with the power to have on an enormous string of procedurally generated mini-dungeons in brief sessions. Each session allows you to have on one of several dissimilar mission types and challenges to complete that task with the use of whatever tools y'all larn along the way. While less action-oriented than Spelunky, it scratches the same itch.

22. Kid Dracula

(Konami, 1993)

NES owners were cheated out of a localized version of Konami's goofball Castlevania spin-off Boku Dracula-Kun, which remained stranded in Nihon. Simply that's OK, considering this handheld rendition was a pretty faithful recreation of the panel release, with colors stripped out and sprites scaled back to fit the format but with all the freewheeling action intact. Kid Dracula presents the main bad guy of the Castlevania series as a tow-headed tyke out to reclaim his castle from the villain Galamoth. It'south kind of weird to imagine the murderous, blood-drinking tyrant equally a happy-go-lucky kid, only this isn't really the sort of game experience where you're intended to question the underlying morality. Simply burn through the comical monsters with your undead fireballs and reclaim Dracula's place as King of the Damned, OK?

Space Invaders

Taito/Nintendo

21. Space Invaders

(Taito/Nintendo, 1994)

Space Invaders shipped early in the Game Boy's life in a Japan-simply release. This isn't that one. No, the game we're highlighting here came several years later, toward the end of Game Boy's life and nearly ii decades subsequently Space Invaders offset took over arcades around the world. This was a U.South.-exclusive release, and information technology's an amazing slice of piece of work. Plug it into a Game Male child and it'due south but, you know, the same Space Invaders that shipped iv years prior. But insert it into a Super Game Boy to run on Super NES and of a sudden information technology transforms into a different experience altogether. Not only practise you become special frames and color palettes for Super Game Boy, you also open up unique SGB-only alternate modes. Oh, and on top of that, you can too kicking the system to run the Super NES version of Space Invaders, which could besides be purchased separately. Yes, this Game Boy cartridge contained an unabridged Super NES game. Information technology's one of the wildest things ever to take been done with a Game Boy.

Metroid 2: Return of Samus

Nintendo

xx. Metroid Two: Return of Samus

(Nintendo, 1991)

While Metroid Ii is admittedly the weakest of the numbered Metroid games, that doesn't make it a bad game in its ain right. A mediocre Metroid is still a heck of a Game Boy release, and if this sequel falls short of true excellence it'due south simply because it tries to do and then much. Metroid II'due south earth is bigger than that of the original game, and heroine Samus Aran has to acquire more than kinds of equipment to take on more and deadlier metroids than before. Although Metroid II is a bit sluggish at times and suffers from visual repetition that makes orienteering your way through its massive caverns a hassle at times, it really builds on the foundations of the offset game and does a lot more with both Samus and the universe she inhabits.

19. Mole Mania

(Nintendo, 1997)

Long overlooked past fans due to its late release, Mole Mania was one of the few Game Boy projects designed past Shigeru Miyamoto'southward squad at EAD (most first-party Game Boy releases were managed by Gunpei Yokoi's R&D1 division). And as with EAD's three other Game Boy projects, this is a smart game that maximizes the hardware and shines with thoughtful choices from offset to terminate. In a lot of ways, it feels similar the Nintendo take on the box-pushing Game Male child standard puzzler seen in Boxxle (aka Soukoban): While built effectually like principles of navigating an object to a goal through mazes, it introduces player actions across pushing while incorporating additional play elements and hazards. An inventive take on the box conundrum, information technology'south proof that Soukoban games tin can be fun when modernized.

eighteen. Castlevania II: Belmont'south Revenge

(Konami, 1991)

The first and third Castlevania releases for Game Boy were, to exist frank, quite poor. Belmont'due south Revenge is the one stand-out, a game that actually ranks with the finest entries in the franchise. Although it makes use of many of the same not-quite-catechism mechanics of its portable predecessor (Castlevania: The Adventure), information technology incorporates them into a journey that feels much better designed. There are fewer pixel-perfect jumps and unavoidable enemy traps to deal with, while the action moves at a speedier clip. On height of that, you take the freedom to mix upwards each playthrough a bit by choosing to tackle the first 4 stages in whatever guild you like, in classic Mega Man style. The divergence between Belmont's Revenge and the other Game Boy Castlevania titles highlights the importance of getting the little details right when y'all're playing on a little arrangement.

Gargoyle'due south Quest

Capcom

17. Gargoyle's Quest

(Capcom, 1990)

Kind of like Child Dracula, Gargoyle'south Quest dared to put players in the shoes (figuratively speaking) of a hated villain — in this case, the Red Arremer from Ghosts 'N Goblins. In casting players as the well-nigh vexing monster in that franchise, Capcom's designers took a radically different arroyo to blueprint for this spin-off. While Gargoyle'due south Quest sticks to the side-scrolling platformer format of Ghosts 'North Goblins, it works more as an action RPG. Protagonist Firebrand starts weak and underpowered, but similar his foe Arthur, simply unlike Arthur he grows in forcefulness through the class of the activity: His wellness meter expands, his assault options improve, he improves his flight abilities, and he even acquires skills that permit him navigate the world more easily. A bit brusk and ultimately fairly easy if yous can overcome the crushingly hard introductory stage, Gargoyle'southward Quest remains a standout of the Game Male child library.

xvi. Heiankyo Conflicting

(Mindwave/Meldac, 1990)

Heiankyo Alien is a adequately simplistic title compared to nearly of the works chronicled here, but it merits a mention for its historic importance. The original version of Heiankyo Conflicting was a PC classic released all the way back in 1979, and it only always saw an arcade conversion at the fourth dimension; this Game Boy reissue was its showtime-e'er home release. It's a fundamental title, the missing link between Space Invaders, Pac-Human being, Lode Runner, and a bunch of other early '80s classics, where players evade monsters in a maze and attempt to trap the marauders by earthworks holes in the ground. On pinnacle of that, Heiankyo Conflicting for Game Boy is one of gaming's very first proper remakes: In add-on to including a direct conversion of the decade-quondam arcade game, the cart also includes a remixed mode with updated graphics and new gameplay mechanics. That sort of affair is old hat these days, merely you didn't see many developers treating vintage software with such reverence in the Game Boy era. And the game is all the same pretty addictive even now.

Concluding Fantasy Adventure

Squaresoft

xv. Last Fantasy Adventure

(Squaresoft, 1992)

Another game in the Legend of Zelda vein that isn't quite as good as a real Zelda — so who cares, correct? Incorrect! Final Fantasy Take a chance takes the Zelda action-RPG format and pushes the part-playing mechanics fifty-fifty further than games like Golvelius and Crystalis, integrating Final Fantasy touchstones similar chocobos, spell conventions, and fifty-fifty partner characters. It's a rambling mess of a game in places, with bafflingly moronic companion A.I. and a few needlessly obtuse puzzles. But before Link'southward Enkindling landed on Game Boy, fans found lots to dearest in the brisk sprawl of this classic, which went on to inspire some amazing sequels in the form of the Mana games.

14. Mega Homo 5

(Capcom, 1994)

Capcom made a bunch of Game Male child Mega Human carts, only the first four consisted entirely of hacked-together stages taken from the NES games. It wasn't until the 5th and last Game Boy Mega Man that the visitor ran out of existing cloth to mine and created something new. Mega Human being 5 doesn't quite stand upwards to the franchise's all-time greats due to the handheld's cramped proportions and sluggish hardware. As handheld activity platformers go, though, this inventive rendition of an eight-bit standard (which sends Mega Homo on a journey through the solar arrangement to fight planet-themed bosses) is hard to superlative. The game's late release, low impress run, and great reputation make for an unusually pricey pick-up, merely happily it's also available on 3DS Virtual Console for a pittance.

xiii. Bionic Commando

(Capcom, 1992)

Some other NES-to-Game Boy conversion, this one'south an example of how to do it well and truly right. Capcom comprehensively reworked the source material to fit the reduced scale of the Game Boy, bringing across the archetype NES game's splendid physics and controls to let players to swing triumphantly beyond the tiny screen without compromise. The remake also retools a number of the original levels to edit out the dead-stop parts that didn't quite piece of work and ensure a brisker flow through the action. Information technology even adds material, including a rousing new final stage that puts players' grappling skills to the examination.

Balloon Child

Pax Softnica/Nintendo

12. Balloon Kid

(Pax Softnica/Nintendo, 1991)

The championship only obliquely references the fact that this is a proper sequel to and expansion upon the NES blackness box classic Balloon Fight. Specifically, Balloon Child takes the engrossing bonus manner Balloon Trip, a sort of proto-endless-runner concept set up entirely in the air, and turns it into a proper adventure featuring traditional stages, secrets, and bosses. Balloon Kid introduces new play mechanics, including the ability to let go of the balloons that keep heroine Alice aloft to run and bound in traditional platform action manner, and in doing and then it introduces a load of surprisingly engrossing strategies to the mix. Information technology's hands i of the finest hidden treasures in the Game Boy library.

xi. Game Boy Gallery (serial)

(TOSE/Nintendo, 1995)

Before Game Boy, there was the Game & Watch. Gunpei Yokoi's long-running handheld line presented players with a far more primitive amusement proposition than Game Boy would, but the line was popular enough that the final Game & Watch units shipped after Game Boy's debut. Fittingly, Game & Watch'south successor paid tribute to what had come before with a serial of brilliant remakes. Each Game & Lookout Gallery cart revisited multiple iconic Game & Watch handhelds, giving players the option to play a faithful recreation of the self-contained LCD games or a fancied-up remake sporting '90s-appropriate graphics. The games here are simple, of class, but they remain fun — making this series both a testament to Nintendo's long-running commitment to play and its ability to recognize the value of game history ... or at least the high points of its own history. Information technology's a beginning.

Super Mario Land

Nintendo

10. Super Mario Land (series)

(Nintendo, 1989)

The two Mario adventures for Game Boy don't feel nearly so much of a piece every bit, say, Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. iii do. The first Mario State showed upwardly at launch and clearly demonstrates Nintendo'south developers getting their heads around the capabilities of the Game Boy while playing information technology somewhat safe: It features tiny, simple sprites and only virtually half as many stages equally Super Mario Bros., all of which tend toward the basic side. On the other hand, it does let Mario accept on a few stages in a submarine and biplane. By comparison, its sequel scales up the graphical item, sends Mario through a series of strange worlds unlike whatsoever other in the franchise, and gives him weird new powers. What both games accept in common is the way they both feel similar, well, Mario ... despite their unconventional styles. Information technology took a little while for the devs to get comfortable working within Game Boy's constraints, but in its all-time moments, the Mario Country duology shows off how surprising and weird Mario tin can be when Papa Miyamoto isn't watching.

9. Mario'due south Picross (series)

(Jupiter/Nintendo, 1995)

This picture crossdiscussion concept has get a mainstay of Nintendo's library, with more than than a dozen entries appearing on 3DS alone! Yet the franchise began here, ushered into the world past none other than Mario himself: Players are presented with a grid in which each row and cavalcade is assigned numeric values that represent consecutive filled-in blocks. The claiming comes in figuring out which blocks need to exist filled and which should remain empty, a task that requires a touch of math skill and a great deal of logical intuition. When completed, the filled and empty blocks form a elementary blackness-and-white paradigm — in the case of Mario'due south Picross, the paradigm ties back to Mario series sprites. The Picross concept hasn't inverse much since 1995, though, and information technology's every bit as addictive now equally it was and so ... even on Game Boy. Note that but the first Mario'due south Picross was localized to the U.S. and Europe, with Picross ii remaining stranded in Japan, making it an obvious get for import fans.

8. Kirby'southward Dream Country (serial)

(HAL Labs/Nintendo, 1992)

HAL'southward big breakout title, and the i that cemented its status as a de facto Nintendo second party, arrived on the scene in 1992. The hero, a voracious little fellow named Kirby, became an instant fan favorite, despite non having been entirely defined in his starting time outing. In Kirby's Dream Country, our hero is shown as white on the packaging, and he doesn't gain new powers by swallowing monsters. Still, Dream Country nailed the uptempo vibe and overall look that continues to ascertain the franchise'due south annual installments to this day. The sequel, 1995's Kirby's Dream Land 2, brought the concepts and improvements introduced in Kirby's Hazard on NES back to the Game Boy earlier Kirby spun into a diverseness of handheld block puzzlers and pinball games for the remainder of the platform's life. Approachable, adorable, and possessed of hidden depths, the Kirby series occupies a unique identify in Nintendo'southward graphic symbol pantheon, and information technology was established right here.

7. The Last Fantasy Legend (serial)

(Squaresoft, 1990)

The Final Fantasy Legend trilogy isn't really Terminal Fantasy, but neither is it likewise far removed. Designed by Akitoshi Kawazu, Squaresoft'southward well-nigh idiosyncratic managing director, Legend and its sequels took some of the unusual concepts that appeared in the unpopular Final Fantasy Ii for Famicom and ran with them. Set in strange worlds, including physically impossible spaces and lands aggress by banana-smuggling cartels, these adventures let players to built their own teams of distinct races ranging from combat-capable humans to monsters capable of transforming into more (or less!) powerful species by devouring the meat of defeated foes. Weapons break with repeated use, magic-casters randomly learn and unlearn spells, and yous tin use a chainsaw to kill God Himself (who, in fairness, is kind of a jerk here). The Legend series stands out every bit being the world's first portable RPG series, and its creators took advantage of the fact that they were painting on a fresh sail to practice their own weird matter. Possibly that's why the games however hold up 30 years after.

Tetris

Bulletproof Software/Nintendo

6. Tetris

(Bulletproof Software/Nintendo, 1989)

Nintendo included Tetris with the Game Boy hardware in America, and for good reason: It practically sold the system all on its ain. With elementary design that cascades into listen-gripping addiction, Tetris works as well for a quick fix of entertainment as it does for a lengthy engagement. Despite its lack of colour, Tetris on Game Male child actually concluded up being a better game than its NES counterparts — Nintendo and Impenetrable gave information technology multiplayer link capabilities, brilliant music that showed off the console's packed-in earbuds, and a visual design that didn't need color to work. For many people, Game Boy Tetris remains the definitive Tetris experience, despite the fact that there are flashier versions of the game that integrate things like virtual reality and mass-scale competitive multiplayer.

v. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

(Nintendo, 1993)

The Zelda serial has 2 faces: The rock-solid, genre-defining hazard face up, and the weird stuff face. Link'south Awakening hovers somewhere in between the two. It makes a lot of interesting changes to the tiptop-down Zelda formula, not least of which is making Link's sword an optional slice of equipment; he can swap it out for other weapons, a shield that can exist used actively as a defensive weapon, and fifty-fifty a magical plume that allows him to jump. This quest likewise takes place entirely within the bounds of an island, a surreal place inhabited by oddball characters and a certain dream logic. Notwithstanding the game also set many standards: Link'due south Awakening was the offset Zelda game to feature a complex trading chain subquest and the first in the serial to make musical instruments a key element of the quest. Simply most of all, Link'southward Enkindling combined the experience of the original Zelda for NES with the complexity and depth of A Link to the Past for Super NES, proving one time and for all that the Game Boy was capable of delivering an experience on par with its 16-fleck sibling.

Wario Land

Nintendo

4. Wario Land (series)

(Nintendo, 1994)

Technically, you could count this every bit role of the Super Mario Land series; the first game is properly titled Wario State: Super Mario Land three. Merely Mario was nowhere to be found in that game, nor in the sequel (which debuted on the original Game Boy before resurfacing a year later in colour). No, this duology — forth with its sequels on Virtual Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Male child Advance — centered entirely on bad boy Wario, who debuted equally the villain of Super Mario Country 2. By making Wario the lead, the designers at Nintendo R&D1 were freed to change up the dynamics of play from nimble platform athleticism that didn't necessarily mesh with the Game Boy'southward tiny resolution to a slower, more exploration-based design. The Wario Land games feature more intricate puzzle-like stage designs than Mario'due south adventures, tasking players with the need to hunt for secrets and treasures. At the same fourth dimension, Wario himself has a more than ambitious physicality nigh him, bashing into enemies and bang-up through walls in a way that Mario simply can't — and Wario Land Ii makes the protagonist finer indestructible, turning his suffering into a gameplay mechanic. All of Nintendo R&D1'south best and weirdest instincts come through in the Wario Country games, and they created two of the finest Game Male child adventures in the process.

iii. Pokémon (series)

(Game Freak/Nintendo, 1998)

Well-nigh a decade after the Game Boy's debut, the organization enjoyed an unexpected second life thanks to the arrival of Pokémon. Nothing most Pokémon screamed "global success" on newspaper. It was a role-playing game, a genre that had experienced its offset major panel success in the U.S. a yr earlier cheers to Terminal Fantasy 7, which succeeded on the strength of flashy visuals that the humble Game Male child could never hope to equal. Game Freak'southward game lacked anything resembling a real story, instead following a nameless kid in his quest to capture a bunch of weird monsters. Its battles played out slowly through menus, minimal animation, and cascades of explanatory text. And it was a phenomenon. Pokémon'southward strengths were the same things that initially appeared to be weaknesses: Its unnamed protagonist allowed the actor to place themselves in the gamble. All those monsters had to be captured ane past 1 and integrated into the player's combat roster, creating a real connection betwixt human and digital critter. Merely that wasn't the but connection Pokémon created! Fifty-fifty more than essential was the real-world, person-to-person connexion that allowed ii Pokémon trainers to battle and trade their creatures head-to-head through the Game Boy's Link Cablevision. It didn't hurt that Pokémon was buoyed by a vivid marketing scheme that included a carte du jour game and a television set show that's still running more than two decades after, but in the finish it was the deep, appealing gameplay that fabricated Pokémon such an incredible showcase for Game Male child.

2. Game Boy Photographic camera

(Nintendo, 1998)

Is Game Male child Photographic camera a game? Well, non in the purest sense; it'southward really an accessory, a tiny digital camera capable of snapping and saving well-nigh xx low-resolution images to the built-in retention. You could even print them to the thermal printer Nintendo sold alongside the camera. Simply it wasn't merely an accompaniment; Nintendo infused its ultimate Game Male child gadget with the company's indelible love for play. Then Game Boy Camera doesn't use a normal camera interface; it launches from an RPG-style bill of fare featuring weird cartoon people. If you lot select "RUN" from the menu instead of "SHOOT," a horrifying face appears and demands, "WHAT ARE You lot RUNNING FROM?" Once you take photos, you can draw on them and decorate them with illustrated frames. In that location'southward also a ship-upwards of Game Boy shooter Solar Striker on the cart. What makes Game Boy Photographic camera a work of genius is the fashion it takes advantage of the portable nature of the system and turns information technology into a device that straddles the fence between gizmo and game: All of a sudden Game Male child became a applied tool for self-expression. At the same time, information technology made photography fun, and its lo-fi appearance became an iconic emblem of the system ... fifty-fifty now, Game Boy Camera remains a popular format for hobbyist photography.

Donkey Kong

Nintendo

1. Donkey Kong

(Nintendo, 1994)

The greatest Game Boy game was likewise 1 of the greatest arcade games of all time. Were Game Boy Donkey Kong merely a reissue of a 1981 coin-op title, though, it wouldn't be worth making much fuss near. At that place'south so much more to this game than a simple remake; information technology's a massive reinvention of the old arcade favorite, calculation dozens upon dozens of puzzle-platform stages that embrace concepts from the entirety of Mario'southward history. Ass Kong besides serves equally a comprehensive embodiment of the Game Boy's sum total existence. It'southward a wait back to Nintendo's own past that simultaneously paved the style for its hereafter: It was here that Mario first learned the chain-jumps and handstands that would become a part of his repertoire a few years afterward in Super Mario 64. It's both a perfect portable game (containing 100 bite-sized stand-alone levels) and a brilliant panel title (thank you to its total cover of the Super Game Boy peripheral that allowed it to be played on Super NES). And information technology showed just how far both Nintendo and Game Boy had come in 1994 by expanding profoundly on the game that launched the company to the heights of fame, while besides being vastly more refined and complex than the original Super Mario State. A masterpiece of a game.
