Elf: The Movie
Game Boy Advance · 2004
About this game
This platformer is based on the hit 2003 movie starring Will Ferrell who played a boy who was raised by elves in the North Pole and became a large elf comparatively.
At 30 years of age, Buddy goes on a journey to New York to find his real father and a place where he can fit in.

The game's release was timed to come out the following 2004 holiday season with the dvd release and contains the choice of 5 languages.
The main game is a side-scroller where you guide Buddy as he makes his way across icebergs while avoiding chasms and polar bears, dodges Manhattan traffic, and more.
There are 10 missions based on the movie's events as he journeys to also help Santa and save Christmas.
You must collect missing sleigh parts, letters (to spell "New York" in one level) or parcels.
You will be penalized falling into the icy water or getting hit by a car which drains your health.
To restore it, you jump for lollipops and candies, Buddy's favorite foods.
There are also 3 mini-games available from the start menu: Snowman Building is like Sokoban, Santa Says is a memorization game, and Cobbler's Workshop has you matching elves' shoes to put them in boxes.
Plus, more minigames are available within the game.
About Game Boy Advance
Nintendo's Game Boy Advance (2001) offered near-SNES-level graphics in a handheld and became a home for excellent ports as well as original titles across nearly every genre. GBA cartridges are generally durable and plentiful, making it an approachable platform for new collectors, though a few late-release RPGs and limited exclusives have become genuine chase items.
Gamevaro tracks Elf: The Movie for Game Boy Advance with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Elf: The Movie to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBA release dates back to 2004.
