GB advance recommendations for xmas?

My little guy loves his SP, and I plan to ask all the extended family for gameboy games this xmas. A little help making a list would be appreciated as I haven't been paying much attention this year. He's only 5, so he's not quite ready for advance wars 2 or anything.

He has:

Mario Advance (SMB2)
Yoshi's Island
Mario Kart
Wario World 4
Metroid Fusion
Finding Nemo
Namco Classics
Arcade Advance
Tekken Advance

And I have:

Castlevania (forget which one)
Advance Wars
Both GBC Zeldas

So far, my list consists of:

Donkey Kong Country
Mario World
SMB3
Spider-man
????

I just got Ultimate Muscle from BB for $10 and I must say this is a really fun wrestling game. It's rated teen so you know but I don't see anything bad in it.

Mario and Luigi. There's some reading, I guess, but it's a pretty cool game.

Monkey Ball Jr is pretty awesome as well, fun to pick up and play.

Sonic Pinball is a Target exclusive and is only $18 this week. I'm picking it up tomorrow, but seeing as Pinball of the Dead was awesome, I"d bet this one is worth it as well (and more kid friendly)

yeah, it's probably his favorite, though he can't figure out how to beat the bosses...except the first one.

He might like the Spyro games (you can get the first two for $15 each) and Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets ($10 at Circuit City). The Harry Potter game requires some reading, but kids seem to somehow miraculously learn to read when it comes to Harry Potter.

That Harry Potter game is kind of tough because of the 3D vizualization - that one bean challenge is a b!tch!
