We already published the list of best GBA games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best GBA puzzle games of all time.
With amazing titles available, the GBA definitely has a great library of puzzle games.
So, if you’re a fan of both the GBA and puzzle games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#10. It’s Mr Pants
- Release Data: Rare Ltd./THQ, 2005
- Genre: Puzzle » General
As puzzle games go, It’s Mr. Pants is moderately stimulating and good for a few hours of mental effort.
Yet it lacks the complexity or added features that some of the better puzzle games on the GBA have, so perhaps it’s best suited to novices.
#9. Rampage: Puzzle Attack
- Release Data: Ninai Games/Midway, 2001
- Genre: Puzzle » General
Despite the fact that there are so many levels, once you have mastered the game there really isn’t much to keep bringing you back.
However, puzzle fans and anyone looking for a great GBA multiplayer experience should immediately get this little sleeper hit.
#8. Dr. Mario / Puzzle League
- Release Data: TOSE/Nintendo, 2005
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
If you’re a puzzle game fanatic, you won’t go wrong adding Dr. Mario/Puzzle League to your collection.
Sure, the overall presentation is lacking energy, but the gameplay in both games, particularly Puzzle League, is compelling enough to keep you coming back time and time again.
#7. The Lost Vikings
- Release Data: Mass Media/Blizzard Entertainment, 2003
- Genre: Puzzle » Action
If you’re a fan of puzzle games and never had the chance to play The Lost Vikings when it was available for the PC, Super NES, or Genesis, then you’ll probably get a decent amount of enjoyment out of this GBA version.
#6. Super Monkey Ball Jr.
- Release Data: Realism Ltd/Sega, 2002
- Genre: Puzzle » General
All told, Super Monkey Ball Jr. is the kind of game you want in your collection, even if you don’t generally enjoy puzzle games.
It’s easy enough so that anyone can play it but challenging enough to stump even the most intellectual of players.
#5. Super Puzzle Fighter II
- Release Data: Atomic Planet Entertainment/Capcom, 2003
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
While it may not be a pixel-perfect port, Super Puzzle Fighter II for the Game Boy Advance plays very well, and still stands as one of the best Tetris-style puzzle games ever made.
Purists may find the slowdown a little disappointing, but people looking for a great GBA puzzle game certainly won’t go wrong here.
#4. Puyo Pop
- Release Data: Sonic Team/Sega, 2002
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
If you’ve never tried Puyo Puyo before, then Puyo Pop for the Game Boy Advance is an excellent introduction.
If you’re a Puyo Puyo fan, then you won’t find much new stuff in Puyo Pop, but it’s certainly a lot more portable than the PlayStation or Saturn releases.
#3. Denki Blocks!
- Release Data: Denki/Rage Software, 2001
- Genre: Puzzle » General
Denki Blocks! is a lot of fun and one hell of a mind twister.
There are so many challenges that puzzle fans will be playing this one for weeks before most of them have been solved.
The multiplayer modes are also a lot of fun and the graphic style is fun and simplistic, which makes it perfect for most gamers.
#2. ChuChu Rocket!
- Release Data: Sonic Team/Infogrames, 2001
- Genre: Puzzle » General
The addictive gameplay is what really sets ChuChu Rocket! apart.
The game is essentially identical to the Dreamcast version, so it’s perfect if you want a copy of it on the go.
ChuChu Rocket! is the first puzzle game and also the first party game for the Game Boy Advance, and it’s successful in both respects.
#1. Bomberman Tournament
- Release Data: Amble/Hudson, 2001
- Genre: Puzzle » Action
It’s a Bomberman game with both a decent one-player mode and the multiplayer we’ve grown to love in one awesome package.
Bomberman fans are advised to pick this up instantly. Newcomers to Bomberman may want to see the gameplay first before committing but it is certainly a perfect introduction to the series.
