So much zany fun on the box art! And obviously, the bunny ears are the best power-up. Creative, unique, enjoyable, and replayable, it was a perfect end to the creative Mario Land trilogy (that shamefully wasn’t included in the Super Mario Bros. The world map was beautifully detailed, and changes you made it individual levels effected the bigger map! There were multiple secret exits, not to mention 15 well-hidden “treasures” to find in the game, each worth a fortune. Wario could charge to knock enemies over, pick up and throw them, stomp the ground, and equip several new fun abilities via “hats”. You got to play as Wario, who felt completely different from Mario and had a hilarious new mission-shamelessly get all the coins you can and buy a castle! All of the new mechanics were surprisingly satisfying. What a shakeup this game was! I got it with my Game Boy for Christmas and I still think it’s one of the best Game Boy games to this day. Now let’s see a revival of this style of Donkey Kong! 3. The environments are detailed and a lot of fun, and the game is surprisingly long too! I recommend playing on the Super Game Boy if you have one, for the lovely implementation of color and better controls. Though far from a pushover, the difficulty is scaled back substantially, which I appreciate. The game even comes with its own Super Game Boy manual. It even made my “best Turtles game” list-check it out if you’re a fan. But like the excellent Hyperstone Heist, sometimes 5 stages is all you need! With detailed sprites and cutscenes, a rockin’ Turtles soundtrack, and fun boss encounters, it’s a great ride! Also, I’m a sucker for a good instruction manual, and Fall of the Foot Clan design has 90s nostalgia written all over it. While nowhere near as refined as beat ’em up entries like the exquisite Turtles in Time, it’s a solid action title! Essentially a 2D action game with mild platforming (like the first Turtles on NES), the game is only 5 stages long and over within an hour. I literally just finished this game for the first time a few nights ago! I saw it on a few other “best Game Boy games” lists and decided to order a cart and manual from eBay. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan These are my top 10 best Game Boy games-enjoy! 10. And I can confidently say the titles below pass that test. They’re “short but sweet”, something I highly value in game design! Difficult as it is, I do try to account for nostalgia by replaying and seeing how well games hold up today. After checking out the best Game Boy Advance games, one thing led to another and I’ve replayed several of my original Game Boy games too! I’m actually quite astonished at how well some of these titles hold up. I recently purchased a nice, refurbished, modded GBA Advance SP to play my old handheld carts.
