The Game Boy Advance is one of the most advanced hand-held gaming systems ever. Released in 2001, even since the release, there have been advances in the technology. It started out with Super Mario Advance, where to play the multiplayer mode, you need two cartridges. Now, with games such as Mario Kart Super Circuit, you can play multiplayer with only one game for up to 4 players. Granted, gameplay is limited that way, but it's still amazing. It basically transfers the game data to the other GBA. Another plus for the GBA is that it has backwards compatability, which means that all of the old Game Boy and Game Boy Color games can be played on the GBA. That is how cool this system is.
