[[File:GBAlogo.svg|left|250px]]
The '''{{wp|Game Boy Advance}}''' (also abbreviated as '''GBA''') is a 32-bit handheld game system created by [[Nintendo]]. It is the third and final system in the Game Boy series and is Nintendo's fifth handheld system. It has backwards compatibility with [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] games (making it the only Nintendo console to be backwards compatible with more than one system) and its accessories but no support for the GBC's IR Communication. The palette options are exactly the same as they are on the Game Boy Color. The Game Boy Advance line has sold 81.5 million units worldwide, according to Nintendo, and it was discontinued in 2008. The console's button configuration inherits the {{button|gba|A}}, {{button|gba|B}}, {{button|gba|start}}, and {{button|gba|select}} buttons as well as {{button|gba|Pad}} from the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color, but it introduces two additional buttons: the {{button|gba|L}} and {{button|gba|R}} buttons. Unlike [[Nintendo DS|its successor]], the standard Game Boy Advance does not have a backlit screen, so the player cannot see the screen in the dark without the use of external devices. The standard Game Boy Advance is the last handheld to require two AAs. Conversely, it was Nintendo's first handheld and first system to be distributed in South Korea by {{wp|Daewon Media}} rather than {{wp|SK Hynix|Hyundai Electronics}} (who previously released the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], [[Nintendo 64]], and Game Boy as the Comboy line of products). Daewon would also handle the South Korean releases of the [[Nintendo GameCube]] (of which it was the handheld counterpart) and [[Nintendo DS]].<ref>{{cite|url=scanlines16.com/en/blog-3/retro-gaming/game-cube/gamecube-korean-master-list|title=Gamecube : Korean Master-List !|publisher=Scanlines16.com|accessdate=January 5, 2024}}</ref>
==Models==
===Game Boy Advance SP===
[[File:Game Boy Advance SP.jpg|thumb|left|The Game Boy Advance SP]]
The '''{{wp|Game Boy Advance SP}}''' ('''Game Boy Advance Special''') is an upgraded model first released in 2003. The serial code was AGS-001. It featured a new design, with a clamshell style and frontlit screen. It also came with a rechargeable battery for the first time. Although it lacks a headphone jack, official or third-party adapters can be inserted into the charging port to use headphones. In 2005, Nintendo also released upgraded backlit versions colored Pearl Blue and Pearl Pink. This upgraded backlit model had the serial code AGS-101, unlike the former Game Boy Advance SP. The Game Boy Advance SP sold 43.55 million units worldwide. This system also had backwards compatibility with the Game Boy and the Game Boy Color while the palette options found on the Game Boy Color can be used on original Game Boy games. There is a special version of the SP that looked like a Nintendo Entertainment System. It was also the last handheld to have backwards compatibility with the Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. The Game Boy Advance SP was discontinued in 2008.
{{br}}

===Game Boy Player===
{{main|Game Boy Player}}
[[File:GB Player.jpg|thumb|A Game Boy Player]]
The '''Game Boy Player''' was an add-on accessory for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] which allowed players to play Game Boy Advance games on their televisions and thus functioned similarly to the [[Super Game Boy]]. It also has backwards compatibility with Game Boy and Game Boy Color games and the palette options are still the same as they are on the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP. A few games had a rumble feature which took effect only when they were played with a standard GameCube controller.
{{br}}

===Game Boy Micro===
[[File:GameBoyMicro.jpg|thumb|left|A Game Boy Micro]]
The '''{{wp|Game Boy Micro}}''' is the third design of the GBA that was first released in 2005. At a size of only 10 cm (4 inches) wide, two inches tall, less than an inch deep, and a weight of 79 grams (2.8 ounces), it is smaller than any other system in the Game Boy line, about the size of a [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] controller. Its screen is slightly smaller than that of the GBA and SP, but it maintains the same resolution. Unlike its predecessors, it is not backwards-compatible with the Game Boy or the Game Boy Color. It came with an adjustable backlight for playing in the dark, and players could buy plastic "skins" in addition to those with which it was packaged in order to change the Game Boy Micro's appearance. A 20th anniversary edition was released to honor the anniversary of the NES. The Game Boy Micro did not sell well, having only sold 2.42 million units worldwide in contrast to the Game Boy Advance SP having sold 34.32 million units worldwide as of mid-2005.

The Game Boy Micro would be the last Nintendo handheld not to have a clamshell design until the {{iw|nwiki|Nintendo 2DS}}, released eight years later, as well as the final single-screen handheld produced by Nintendo until the [[Nintendo Switch]], released eleven years later.

In 2008, the Game Boy Micro was discontinued.<ref>{{cite|author=Vega, Nick|date=March 13, 2017|url=www.businessinsider.com/game-boy-micro-nintendo-console-time-forgot-photos-2017-3|title=A look back at the Game Boy Micro, the Nintendo console that time forgot|publisher=Business Insider|accessdate=December 16, 2019}}</ref>

===Visteon Dockable Entertainment System===
[[File:Dockable entertainment 34.jpg|thumb]]
The '''{{wp|Visteon Dockable Entertainment|Visteon Dockable Entertainment System}}''' is a portable DVD player capable of playing Game Boy Advance games from a specialized cartridge slot. The product was a result of when Visteon partnered with [[Nintendo]] to announce the product at CES 2006. The Visteon Dockable Entertainment System was sold at car dealerships, and ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' content appeared in many of its promotions.

==Accessories==
===AC Adapter===
[[File:GBA AC Adapter.jpg|thumb]]
To use AC power, the first model had a special adapter that goes over the battery compartment. This was obsoleted with the release of the Game Boy Advance SP and its rechargeable battery and AC adapter.
{{br}}

===Game Link Cable===
[[File:GBA Link Cable.jpg|thumb|left|Game Link Cable]]
The Game Link Cable was the primary way to connect 2-4 Game Boy Advances, allowing them to communicate with each other. The purple connector establishes which device is P1, the grey connector establishes which device is P2, while the purple box in the middle of the cable's length allows for a P3 and P4 to connect using additional Game Link Cables where only the purple connector fits. Many ''Super Mario'' games support single pak and multi pak game link modes, such as games from the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]] where players can play a competitive 4-way ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' game, even with ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its copy of ''Mario Bros.'', although not all games required each player to have a Game Pak. The Game Link Cable can also be used with an [[e-Reader]], such as a primitive form of DLC for ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' with the use of [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 e-Reader cards|compatible cards]].

The extension port used to link two Game Boy Advances together is physically missing in the [[Nintendo DS]].
{{br}}

===Wireless Adapter===
[[File:GBA Wireless Adapter.jpg|thumb|Wireless Adapter]]
This allows wireless communication between multiple Game Boy Advance units, only between compatible games including the ''[[Classic NES Series]]'', ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', and ''[[Mario Tennis: Power Tour]]''. One came bundled with each copy of [[Bulbapedia:Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|''Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen'']], excluding [[Player's Choice]] re-releases. If no cartridge is inserted (or {{button|GBA|Select}} + {{button|GBA|Start}} are held) during the BIOS boot sequence, special software will boot. This software works similarly to local game lobbies by finding and listing all lobbies within range, similarly to the successor [[Nintendo DS]].
{{br}}

===Nintendo GameCube–Game Boy Advance Link Cable===
{{main|Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube–Game Boy Advance Link Cable}}
[[File:GCN-GBA Cable.jpg|thumb|left|The cable]]
This cable connects a Game Boy Advance to the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. The kind of set up is the successor to the [[Transfer Pak]] of the [[Nintendo 64]]. The [[Game Boy Player]] is compatible with it, making the attached Game Boy Advance serve as a controller for the GameCube running in Game Boy Advance mode. Some games utilize data transfer between a GameCube and Game Boy Advance games, such as connecting games ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', and ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]''.
{{br}}

===e-Reader===
{{main|e-Reader}}
[[File:E-reader-1-.jpg|thumb|e-Reader]]
The e-Reader is an add-on device for the Game Boy Advance released in 2002. It can scan cards to add new features to Game Boy Advance games and had some classic games as well. However, in 2004, it was discontinued outside Japan due to poor sales.

==Appearances in the ''Super Mario'' franchise==
===''Luigi's Mansion''===
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', there is a [[Boo]] called "Game Boo" and another that asks if Luigi wants to play "GameBoo Advance."

===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''===
The [[Game Boy Horror SP]] appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' as an item given to Mario and Luigi by [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]]. It is a parody of the Game Boy Advance SP, and a reference to the [[Game Boy Horror]] from ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', which was modeled after the [[Game Boy Color]]. In addition, [[Bowletta]] sends messages to Beanbean Castle on original Game Boy Advance systems capable of projecting her image (purple the first time and orange the second time); the game's [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|3DS remake]] replaces these with [[Nintendo 3DS]] systems, which have the same function.

===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
[[File:Mario Koops and Mailbox SP.png|thumb|The [[Mailbox SP]] as it appears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'']]
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', a Game Boy Advance is used as the terminal at the [[Glitz Pit]], where Mario and his party set up their matches. In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], the Game Boy Advance's startup sound plays when the terminal is interacted with. Additionally, Mario carries with him an e-mail device called the "[[Mailbox SP]]," which resembles a Game Boy Advance SP. An in-dialogue reference is made by [[Pennington]] if Mario asks his opinion on what [[Bub]] wants for his birthday; the [[Bumpty]] confidently assumes it is a Game Boy Advance, being "what young children his age crave above all things!" A [[Toad (species)|Toad]] in [[Petalburg]] says he has been playing a game called ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade|Fire Emblem]]'' on his GBA, a reference to another game series also developed by [[Intelligent Systems]].
{{br}}

===''Wario Land 4''===
[[File:WL4-Flashback7.png|frame|[[Wario]] holding a box filled with Game Boy Advance consoles]]
In ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', many images of [[Gallery:Wario Land 4#Flashbacks|artwork]] appear in the game's ending credits. One of these images shows [[Wario]] with boxes full of Game Boy Advance consoles.
{{br}}

===''Wario World''===
In ''[[Wario World]]'', one of the treasures [[Wario]] needs to get out the Pink Chest located in [[Beanstalk Way]] is a Game Boy Advance.

===''WarioWare'' series===
====''WarioWare: Twisted!''====
In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', the Game Boy Advance makes an appearance at the beginning and end. In the intro cutscene, [[Wario]] plays on his Game Boy Advance, before taking it to [[Dr. Crygor]] to fix it, and in the intro of [[Wario-Man]]'s story, one of the many objects on the conveyor belt is a Game Boy Advance.

====''WarioWare: Touched!''====
In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', the Game Boy Advance makes various appearances. Both a Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP are stolen by Wario in the opening, a monitor shown during [[Mona]]'s stage resembles a Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advances are thrown by the audience at [[Vanessa]] when she tries to disguise herself as [[Mona]], and a Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP appear in [[9-Volt]]'s intro cutscene. The microgame [[Stylus Hunt|Pushing Buttons]] contains a Game Boy Advance and a Game Boy Advance SP and [[Gold Digger]] features a pink Game Boy Advance.

====''WarioWare Gold''====
The Game Boy Advance is a [[List of souvenirs in WarioWare Gold|souvenir]] in the Nintendo collection in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''.
