Licensed games in the early 2000s were a wild gamble, and Stuart Little 2 on the Game Boy Advance (2002) is proof. Developed by Hyperspace Cowgirls (yes, that’s a real studio name) and published by Activision, this handheld tie-in to the family film shrinks you down into the life of everyone’s favorite talking mouse in a red sweater. Platforming? Check. Collectibles? Check. Questionable movie-to-game adaptation energy? Double check.

The gameplay is your classic side-scrolling platformer formula—jump across rooftops, dodge hazards, and collect items to save the day. It’s simple, colorful, and surprisingly charming for a movie tie-in, even if it never hits Mario levels of polish. But let’s be real: nobody bought this expecting perfection—it’s Stuart Little in 8-bit pajamas, and that alone makes it a quirky collectible.

Why should you buy retro games like this one?

1. It’s peak early-2000s licensed game energy—cheesy but fun.
2. A kid-friendly platformer that’s easy to pick up and play.
3. A weirdly nostalgic oddball for collectors hunting movie tie-ins.

If you’re stacking your GBA library, Stuart Little 2 is the kind of oddball gem that sparks conversation. It’s light, it’s silly, and it’s a perfect example of when Hollywood tried to fit into a tiny handheld cartridge. And yeah—buy retro games on Retro Games eXchange, because even tiny talking mice deserve shelf space.
