To be honest, my favorite GBA game would have to be Pokemon Ruby. Firstly, it was the very first game that I owned, since it came with the GBA that I bought. Also, it was pretty much the first game that I played through and through and found it highly amusing.

The Pokémon games. Many people don't want to play them because they're 'childish', but if it were the exact same game with different sprites they'd (prolly) love it. Come on people, Pokémon's hardcore.

I don't know man...my favorite GBA game is not even on that list. It really was Jazz Jackrabbit; a failed attempt for the miraculous Sonic clone on the DOS game but none the less it was a still a great game. The GBA game was too short and lack a lot of other things like more variety of weapons, bonus stages, no gems (Which in Jazz 1 you only collect one gem that leads you to the bonus stage and 2, you collect all sorts of gems which boosts your score at the end of the stage. No Sugar Rush, much like invincibility after collecting a lot of desserts in Jazz 2. No upgrades for the weapons...)

I mean even though it wasn't made by Epic Games, that game was pure fail but its still my favorite since I thought I will never see a Jazz Jackrabbit game outside from the computer.

My fav is probably Rebelstar Tactical Command.

I spent a crapload of time on that, but I hit this one stage that was almost impossible for me to complete because I neglected my leader's psionic stats (or something like that) so I quit. I saw another copy at this game store a few months ago & bought it again. I'll try finishing it this time, I hope.

Adding some more.

-Metroid Zero Mission great follow-up to Fusion, IIRC.
-Mother 3 amazing story.
-Minish Cap because it's awesome.
-Link to The Past/4 Swords Adventure because it was a good port and first time I ever played the game.
-MoH Infiltrator(not that shitty Underground) because it was a nice top-down shooter.
-M&L: Superstar Saga, which I still have to beat.

I would have to say that mine is Metroid Fusion. The wonderful 2D original metroid gameplay combined with the wonderful story and very fun gameplay combined to create an unforgettable experience. a game that i have literally beaten MANY MANY MANY times.

Without a doubt Golden Sun, both of them....My favorite games of all time, not only favorite GBA games..
Also, Final Fantasy (remakes and Tactics) and Breath of Fire II (haven't played I) and both Fire Emblems..

I really enjoyed all those games very much!

Golden Sun and Golden Sun The Lost Age. I flatly refuse to pick between one or the other. They are like two perfect halves of the same masterpiece and are some of the best games I have ever played regardless of system.

But really, are there too many spectacular GBA games or what? Not too many obviously, but the system is just FULL of shining gems. Others I can think of without even trying include Astro Boy, Mario and Luigi, Mother 3, Castlevania AOS, Zelda Minish Cap, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Zero Mission, DBZ LOG 2 and Buu's Fury, Gunstar Super Heroes, MMBN 1-3, Boktai 1-3, Kingdom Hearts COM, and Mario VS Donkey Kong. Those are just games I can think offhand. There are just so many great ones.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. An absolute GBA masterpiece for me. It will take HOURS to write all I like about it- but for me yeah, no doubt

    Stubbs is a pretty damn good sauce that I think you'll find on most grocery shelves as I don't think it's regional

    Best bbq sauce I've ever bought on a grocery store shelf

    smokey flavor that reminds me of beef jerkey on top of a really rich kind of bbq sauce. Heat level that is a nice zing, not overwhelming, but it tingles all the way down your throat

    We all should have free health, dental, vision care, and make the college kids pay for the schooling, f that college forgiveness plan our govt doing now, its really not fair for all others in the past that had to pay for they're schooling anyways (like me, with 2 kids I paid to send to college in the past)

    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!

    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.

    Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US

    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.
