About this game
Based on Rare's off-beat mascot, It's Mr.
Pants is a traditional puzzle game in the Tetris sense where the challenge is to piece together specific shapes of specific colors on a flat playing field grid.

The idea is simple: form rectangles of larger than 3x2 to make them disappear from play.
The pieces can be rotated in 90 degree variations, important to get these tiles into the littlest slots on the field.
You can't place same colors on top of each other, but you can place other colors on top of already placed shapes to remove them from play.
There are three variations: in "Puzzle," the challenge is to remove all shapes from play with the set amount of pieces.
In "Wipeout", you've got two minutes to remove all shapes from play with an infinite amount of pieces.
And in "Marathon," the challenge is to constantly place and remove shapes as long as you can, trying to keep the session alive as the playfield gets eaten away from the outside in.
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 It's Mr. Pants 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 It's Mr. Pants 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.
