Camelot’s handheld Mario Tennis is a tennis RPG: enrol at the Royal Tennis Academy as Alex or Nina, build your stats through the ranks and earn a match against Mario himself. A Transfer Pak links it with the Nintendo 64 game.
Wario’s first starring role. The villain of Super Mario Land 2 storms Kitchen Island to grab Captain Syrup’s treasure and buy a castle of his own: 40 courses, three power-up pots, 15 hidden treasures and six endings decided by how rich he finishes.
Wario raids the cursed Golden Pyramid: four themed passages, a frantic race against the clock at the end of every level and a final showdown with the Golden Diva. It sold around 2.2 million copies and still inspires platformers today.
Wario’s get-rich-quick scheme became one of the Game Boy Advance’s most original games: more than 200 microgames, each lasting a few seconds, thrown at you back to back with a one-word instruction and an ever-faster beat.
