Best GBA game you've played

Personally, I'm having a huge clash between Metroid Zero Mission and Pokemon Sapphire (Not Ruby because Groudon is a piece of shit)The free-roam platforming of ZM is fantastic and the whole region of Hoenn in Sapphire is so magical and adventure-inspiring

If I had to choose my absolute favorite, I'd probably go with Metroid Fusion. I've sunk so many hours into that game, including many replays. But also, honorable mentions to Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, and Gunstar Super Heroes.

Pokémon Emerald. ;)

Best... in what terms? Becuase I can name a few that really made me feel like they were the best games:
- Advanced Wars
- FF Tactics Advanced
- Fire Emblem Blazing Sword
- Golden Sun
- TLOZ: The Minish Cap
- Yggdra Union

However, I cannot objectively say which one is the best. :(

The entire megaman battle network series. Even though Red Sun and Blue Moon are usually frowned upon, I enjoy them since they paved the road to Gregar and Falzer.

Metroid Zero Mission and Minish Cap were my two favorites.

I disagree, Mario 3, while goddamn fantastic, is no where on the level of platforming amazingness. The level of investigation and atmosphere (SPACE JOKE HA)tops Mario 3 entirely in my opinion. I grew up with Sapphire, and only got Metroid ZM a couple of months ago so the nostalgia probably does make it better in my mind :)

I totally agree on Fusion though, ZM in my opinion does the whole story and exploration thing much better.

Anyone play the Sonic Advance games? I actually prefer the third one to one and two, I found it much more fun and all around a better platformer. I keep finding this to be an uncommon opinion :s

I played the first two never played the third, they were pretty fun and the chao garden stuff was cool if you were into that stuff.

Sadly 3 got rid of the Chao Garden of the first 2 :( but the real Sonic game for the GBA was Sonic Battle. It was basically just smash on the GBA but you can play as the better characters of the Sonic series. It's pretty dank stuff

Another good ass game for the GBA was Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire Pinball, that was some good shit. Basically just pinball but with pokemon and actually fun. Mother 3 was also sweet as hell.

Probably a draw between Metroid Fusion and KH: Chain of Memories. So many mammaries. I'd probably give it to Metroid for the sheer amount of polish. That game is beautiful.

Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap are tied for the best Game Boy Advance games that I have had the pleasure of playing over the years. Pokemon Ruby/Emerald/Sapphire are up there as well.

Pokemon ruby, emerald, and golden sun series for me

Loved it when I finally beat Kingdom Hearts chain of memories, was such an accomplishment for a bad gamer like me. Also Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones was so much fun, then my friend wanted it back after I was done beating it. TT_TT

Fire Emblem, both of them.

Either FF tactics advanced or Megaman Zero 2.

Ah, my escapes as a depressed gradeschooler.

Golden Sun was the only one that stuck out.

Advance wars 1 and 2, followed by Pokemon Emerald.

Fire Emblem. No contest.
