Wimpy, lured with the promise of food, joins in on the action.
Popeye: Rush for Spinach is a racing game in the guise of a side-scrolling platformer.
Players choose from either Popeye, Olive, Bluto or Wimpy, and then navigate their way to the finish line of each world.
Special power-ups help them gain speed, such as cars, pogo sticks, skateboards, rockets and even dinosaurs.
Strewn across the levels are assorted hazards designed to slow you down and make progression more difficult.
In addition to the standard Adventure Mode, which strings together the levels with a story, you can also choose from a versus mode, or a time trial mode.
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 Popeye: Rush for Spinach 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 Popeye: Rush for Spinach 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 2005.
