Need GBA game recommendations for young boys
Two 8 year olds and a 5 year old, my sons, are all getting GBA SPs this Christmas.
I need some recommendations for games to get them. We're definitely getting each of them Mario Kart Super Circuit, which they can play linked.
No Yu-Gi-Oh, no Pokemon, no shooting or fighting, no classic games (they can play all the emulators on my PC they want)

Why no Pokémon? They're great fun.. they encourage lots of reading, and if they both have a copy they can play together and trade or battle. Plus they have a very long lasting appeal, will keep them occupied for a while.

(plus I don't want to have to watch that garbage on TV either)I bought my sister the following games, which she really seems to enjoy. Of course, she's not an 8 year old boy...
Klonoa: Empire of Dreams
Super Monkey Ball Jr.
Don't forget you can pick up a ton of cheap stuff for the Gameboy Color from EBGames with the CLSCBOGO coupon that lets you Buy 1 Get 1 Free.

Tigger & Go Lucky and others,
He said no fighting. Power Rangers is fighting. Kirby & The Amazing Mirror (surprised the game was as good as it was) was entirely based around fighting. You become a ninja at one point and slash creatures with a sword. The whole game was fighting.
No shooting or fighting period?
Wow, you just wiped out over half of the good titles for GBA.
Zelda, Metroid, Mario, Kirby, Grand Theft Auto (Just kidding. It stunk).
P.S. Mario technically is also fighting. Depending on title, you bash things in with hammers, light creatures on fire with fireballs, jump on creatures till their heads become pulp, grab power mushrooms for strength (uh huh)., kill King Koopas 7 small children, etc.
I would recommend the following titles:
Pee Wees Journey to Wanker County.
Super Monkey Ball Jr. (great games if your into the style)\
Mario Kart Double Dash (which you have)
Tetris
and some others I cant think of.
