Hello, as stated in the title, I have a Gameboy Advance SP (actually 2, 1 Cobalt that is front-lit, and a pearl blue that is back-lit) as it's, in my opinion, the ultimate Gameboy, as it can play ALL the iterations of Gameboy Original to GBA games, and it has a back-light screen. The reason I made this thread is I'm looking for games and accessories to own/play on this system.
It can be of recommendation, it can hidden gems, obvious choices, essentials, etc.
my collection so far:
Games: Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (GBA) Sonic Advance (GBA) Super Monkey Ball JR. (GBA) Dragonball Z; Supersonic Warriors (GBA) Candy Land/Chutes and Ladders/Original Memory Game 3 in 1 Cartridge (sounds like a bootleg, but it's a officially licensed game) (GBA) Froggers Adventures; Temple of the Frog (GBA) Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (GBC)
Accessories: Couple of Link cables (one by MadCatz, yeah I know, and made by Intec) The Gameboy Camera

The GBA was my first handheld and one of the first gaming systems I owned since the Sega Genesis. I got a lot of use out of it so here's what I can recommend:
- Sonic Advance 2 & 3. You can't really go wrong with any of the Sonic Advance games. Personally, I think 3 is the best.
- Gunstar Super Heroes. It's a sequel to Gunstar Heroes on the Genesis and while it lacks co-op it's still a fun run n' gun game. It is one of those games you need to play on higher difficulties to see the whole story though and it can be frustratingly hard.
- The Super Mario Advance games. 2 (Mario World) and 4 (Mario 3) are the best imo. Faithful remakes of the original games with a few added bonuses.
- Fire Emblem. The first Fire Emblem released in North America is one of the best I find. Very accessible and fun to replay through. Sacred Stones is good too, but not nearly as fun as this one. This one might be a little difficult to come by, but it's far from the most expensive Fire Emblem game out there.
A couple of GBC games:
- Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors. This is personally not just one of my favorite DBZ games but one of my favorite all time games. Unlike most DBZ games, this is not a fighter but rather a card battle type of game with a few rpg elements. It's very unique in that sense with plenty of replayability due to unlocking the 125 cards and two dozenish characters.
- Pokemon Crystal. Or Gold/Silver, but I think Crystal is the quintessential way to play Gen 2 Pokemon (Aside from the Gen 2 remakes on the DS.)
And one original Gameboy game:
- Donkey Kong. Ever play the original Donkey Kong arcade game? The one with only like four levels? This basically takes that and builds on it. You play through those four levels and then you get into a rather large platforming game. I can't remember dead off hand, but there's something like eight other worlds with each of those worlds having between eight to sixteen levels within.

Tactics Ogre: Knight Of Lodis is a really good title if you're into RPGs.

Pokemon. Tons of nostalgia for an older gamer, the games are still replayable almost 20 years later and Nintendo put a lot of effort into Crystal in particular once they realized the cash cow the series was going to be for them.

Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission. I personally loved Fusion as a kid/teenager, and still play it time to time. Fun game to try and do speed runs on too.
