The '''Game Boy Advance''' is a handheld game system created by Nintendo. The first units were released in 2001, although it later spawned a backlit screen model in early 2003, the Game Boy Advance SP.


The '''Gameboy Advance''' is a 32-bit handheld video game console developed, manufactured and marketed by Nintendo. It is the successor to the Game Boy Color. It was released in Japan on March 21, 2001; in North America on June 11, 2001; in Australia on June 22, 2001, in Europe on June 22, 2001; and in the People's Republic of China on June 8, 2004 (excluding Hong Kong).
== Games ==
Two ''Banjo-Kazooie'' games were released on the Game Boy Advance: ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]''.


==Rareware Games==
The former game was first revealed at E3 2001, as a playable demo on original Game Boy Advance units. ''Banjo-Pilot'' was not shown at E3, and was originally intended to be a ''Donkey Kong'' game, ''Diddy Kong Pilot'', which was also unveiled at E3 2001. The publisher for both ''Banjo-Kazooie'' games is [[THQ]].

*Donkey Kong Country 2 Advance - A remake of the SNES game of the same name.
 
*Donkey Kong Country 3 Advance - A remake of the SNES game of the same name
 
*[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]] - The first Banjo game to be made for Gameboy Advance. Although it is the third Banjo game created, it technically takes place after [[Banjo-Kazooie]] and before [[Banjo-Tooie]].
 
*[[Banjo-Pilot]] - A racing game similar to [[Diddy Kong Racing]]. In this game, players will choose a character from the Banjo series and take to the air. According to Rare, the game has no real plot, although it can be assumed that [[Cheato]] lost his pages, so Banjo and his friends have a race to find them.
 
*[[Mr. Pants|It's Mr. Pants]] - A puzzle game that features Rare's mascot, Mr. Pants. The game was actually going to be a Donkey Kong game, called '''Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers'''.
 
*[[Sabreman|Sabre Wulf]] - A remake of the ZX Spectrum game of the same name.
