This was one of the few Game Boy games I had that weren't RPGs (Final Fantasy games specifically (actually SaGa and Mana games)), so this one was a constant for short car rides and flights. It takes about 20-30 minutes to finish, there's a hard mode that's actually challenging, and the level design and boss fights are tight, especially considering the size of the screen and the speed they had to work with.
Replaying this on the Switch's Game Boy emulator was a fun way to spend an hour, and I still enjoy everything about this little game. It builds out four distinctly different areas that all have their own specific level designs and, most importantly, doesn't overstay its welcome. It's just a solid example of GBA platforming and may be among the best examples on that little handheld.
