All the sleeping Smurfs are trapped inside horrible nightmares.
And you, brave Smurf, should go into their houses and rescue them.
To enter the house you should have a key for it.
Each house represents a different environment as well as different monsters and goals.
The gameplay is flown in 3rd-person side-scrolling view, where you should move, jump on the opponents to eliminate them, use different mechanisms to reach certain places, and collect the necessary number of magical leaves to finish the level.
Different goals should be performed also such as to find the carrot in the Kitchen, etc.
The game was made in French, German, English, and Spanish.
About Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color (1998) added a color screen to the original Game Boy formula while remaining backwards compatible with the entire existing cartridge library. Its colorful, semi-transparent cartridge shells make it a visually distinct platform for shelf collectors, and several late-cycle exclusives — released just before the Game Boy Advance took over — are notably harder to find complete today.
Gamevaro tracks The Smurfs' Nightmare for Game Boy Color 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 The Smurfs' Nightmare 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 GBC release dates back to 1999.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Smurfs' Nightmare, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Game Boy Color titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
