I was incredibly lucky to get the 101 model secondhand as a kid (I was too young to remember, but it must have been sometime from 2009-2012) And remember going to gamestop with my mom to pick out some games. that was the ultimate car trip machine, now only dethroned by the switch.

Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
To me its pretty much the definitive way to play Yoshi's Island. Wide screen aspect ratio. Better sound effects. Baby is less annoying. Plus it has Mario Bros. as a bonus game.

Baby mario was still extremely annoying.

Could you explain the advantage of wide screen because the gba version of yoshi's island just like pretty much every other gba game is cropped since you play on a smaller screen. Vertical and horizontal image is lost.

Sound additions are nice but the music is of lesser quality, allot of samples are more dull and faded in the gba version.

regardless It's definitely pretty great for a gba port one of the better examples.

Atrocities such as r-type III exist after all, the music was butchered to bits in the gba release.

The GBA has always been loved

The GBA is timeless. I have tons of memories with it - most of which involve it being my salvation during long, boring car drives. The backlight on the SP was a godsend.
