I found a Gran Turismo Clone on the Game Boy... 

This, this is when you make a game with passion, with your heart. It's one of the best GBA games I ever played.

I can almost guarantee that the circuit 'Plastic Bomb' is because they called it C4 (like R246 in Gran Turismo) and then translated it into English!

Man... someone tell dustin a seat upgrade, albeit sounds superficial in a game like this, a bucket seat hugs you better, allowing you to tackle corners harder. This game is brilliant!

I think the creators of these tracks might've had a few too many DOPS. Also, the little bit of this game I played, I was actually pretty impressed by it. Fun, lots of variety, and great attention to detail. Banging music as well.

Also the pink Vitz is in so many games cuz it was a real color lol. Rose gold for sure, tho the earlier/later models may have more straight pink. Ive seen the third gen in a pink but it looks painted, but the Vitz/Yaris models came in a ton of crazy bright colors.

I remembered playing this game on a bootleg cartridge and the ROM files named Gran Turismo. I really thought this was a Gran Turismo game back when I was a kid

The GT Advance series had some of the best music on GBA ever. Its FANTASTIC and genuinely a fun game to play.

The 3rd game having a save option made it a huuuge upgrade over the original game, since that one was password only. Apart from that you can't really go wrong with this series and it's still really fun to play on the go ^_^

I own a physical copy of this game. It's a superb arcade racer with a surprising variety of cars. You can unlock weird stuff like Karts if you complete all the tournaments in all difficulties. I vaguely remember there being an advantage to completing everything in 1st place. Top tip: Press Select during a night race. It will toggle everyone's headlights on/off. Edit: Do Drifting, if you haven't already. It's really fun. Time Attack events also unlock stuff, if memory serves me right. Edit #2: That dude's right: you rarely need to brake, if at all, on most circuits. Just let off the throttle.

As one of the biggest fans of this game, I can recommend you trying GT2 Advance due to it being Rallye spec. It is way harder and has track elevation

I can understand how a racing seat would boost your handling stat. For most cars, their stock seats have little side bracing. Thus, your body will start slipping out of the seat under hard cornering, making it harder to hold onto the wheel (and thus turn). I ran into this when I did IRL autocross in my Miata and its stock seats. A racing seat does a much better job at keeping your body locked into position, so you'll have an easier time holding onto the wheel and turning it.

I'm actually surprised the Gameboy Advance was this capable. The car models sre convincing, handling seems good too. Technology!

I highly reccomend playing GT Cube/GT Pro Series on the GameCube and Wii, its essentially the same game but full 3d, with weird cell shaded graphics

The name "PEAK PEAK" aged perfectly

I played over 50 retro racing games on my Raspberry PI a couple of years ago, and GT Advance 3 is the only one I remember. Surprisingly fun game

Not to shit on the game, but my dad walked by and said: "Why are the graphics so bad?"

My cousin had this game and I remember having a lot of fun with it. Always amazed what some devs could do with the GBA hardware.

I want to remember to everyone the existence of F-ZERO fot the GBA, probably one of the most intense and fun racing games I've ever played

Looks like I played this game or maybe the previous part. I was 8 years old and already had experience with GT2, but this game made me happy on long trips. It also has a Toyota Mark 2 car, which my father had and which I have never seen in any racing game. I remembered this game, but of course I didn’t remember its name. Thank you

This game was honestly one of the best gameboy games, period. A truly underrated gem.

GT3 Advance was one of my favourite games on GBA next to Wario Land 4 and Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. I'd also recommend checking out V-Rally 3 on GBA. It's absolutely mindblowing on the handheld.

I really wanted these games back in the day. The first one is more street racing focused, the second one is a rally game. I didn’t play them until a few years ago, I really enjoyed them. They’re nothing special, but I’d have eaten them up back in the day.

This was my favorite GBA cart besides a few RPGs, but the music, the graphics, the drift mode, and more were way too awesome. They made a 4-in-1 cartridge at the end of the GBA's life that had all 3 GT games and a motoGP game. An absolute steal if you didn't have any of the individual games.

The Nails was unveiled along with the R35 GT-R and Z33 Z concept cars, but never was produced

I played this game on school with a friend once, he showed me his GBA emulator and I said "yooo GT let's test that lol" I must admit, I was surprised with the quality, and so was him I guess

Now try GT Pro Series on the wii/gamecube. grew up with that game lmfao. Music you played in the start is the menu music for it. The game is more arcadey and has fun physics. Edit: Now that I look at this game, it has the same font and same cars, and even same sound effects for drifting. etc And some further research shows that its by the same company called MTO. So essentially GT Pro Series is just a wii/gamecube port of this game.

This is super impressive. I would've gone crazy for this game as a kid if i knew it existed

So glad you covered this, the game is so damn good. I had it with Moto GP in a double cart back in the day and it was amazing

The fact that it is on a game boy is really fucking funny lmfao 💀💀💀💀💀💀

Be glad this actually has saving, only the Japanese version of the first game in the series has saving and the copies they exported used progress passwords

i'd like to see a modern indie game that's basically this with elevation change - kind of like SRB2Kart but with cars instead of karts, doing what Super Woden GP did to isometric racers but to 3d racers with sprites instead of models as cars

Midget HYPE 🎉 Also I can't believe you've never heard of the World Famous Doko Moko Racetrack, so many iconic races held there smh I'm very surprised by this one, really high quality for the platform. I'd be very interested to see you take on the 2nd game as it's Rally-themed.

Another absolute brilliant video by Dustin ❤

This is one of my childhood GBA games and probably the one I'd take on a trip today. For a handheld game there is so much content in it. Unlocking all the cars and testing how they feel definitely gets you hooked.

Never though I would see the day my childhood game would be played by you today. This brought back nice memories.

Glad to see this game getting the spotlight it deserves, thank you for that - I've played GT3 Advance for years (it was the last "new" game that I got for my aging GBA-SP) and I absolutely loved it. I didn't own any other consoles at the time and GT3 Advance was my first foray into the unique JDM scene. It eventually prepared me for Gran Turismo PSP, but I'd always go back to this just for nostalgia. They need to bring this series back, it was such a good game. PS: If you're interested, the second installment's a rally racing game, so something like A-Spec (featuring rally tracks and special cars in differnet countries, suspension/gearing tuning, everything you'd expect in a rally game). The first one's basically the third one but even lower resolution - however, it doesn't have a misleading car count, you can add body kits to every car and it even has dirt tracks.

I never thought I would see this game again, I had back then on the Gameboy Advance SP, I remember visting my local game store at the time and buying it, cause the cover looked so great. Thanks for playing, back then i loved the game

It makes me so happy to see this game getting some positive attention. As a kid who only had Nintendo consoles growing up, this was the best car game I had and I have so many good memories playing this game on long card rides till my battery would die.

You should check out Road Trip Adventure for the PS2. The OG CaRPG

The GT Advance series never miss a beat on GBA! Really love all three games. Interesting to note that the first game has dirt tracks btw.

Had this game when I was a kid and loved it! I completely forgotten the name of until now so thank you for doing a play through of it 😁

"We have Gran Turismo at home"

This was genuinely my favorite racing game on the GBA! I deadass probably played it like 3 or 4 times this year

I remember playing this when I was younger and really enjoying it. Nice to see it again.

Great upload once again man!

Now you should complete the first ridge racer on PSP, very good arcade handling and a good mashup of the series best tracks, combined with a campaign that has more rubberband than underground 1. Good luck if you try it!

Great video as always dude! Nice to see the GBA getting some love! :)

I had this on GBA as a kid! I absolutely loved this game. Brought back some great memories with this video, thanks!

you cannot escape the pink vitz

I still have my original cartridge of this game from back when I was a kid! Lots of good memories of playing this, the expert mode does get quite difficult towards the end when you're trying to get all golds.

I honestly LOVE this game. I play through it every once and a while. it's amazing. i had it on my GBA back in the day

Time hasn't forgotten it, or i guess atleast i haven't haha Just started the video and look forward to seeing you play through it

Such nostalgia seeing GT3 Advance again 😢😢😢 So many hours & the car selection wasn’t bad either❤ Might dust it off for a revisit

Dustin du machst gute Videos! :)

This was actually my childhood, and I still have it to this day. ❤

Man, I had all 3 of these games back then. Pretty fun. 3 is probably the best one, I'll still play it once in a while.

13:44 I did not expect to have my home track attacked like this. Take it back!

Yooo this was one of my absolute favourite advance games back when I was a child. Nostalgia ❤️

I still have my original copy since i was 5 years old (now im 22), such a great racer for the GBA, with a inconsistent list of racing games, this one is on the top spot easily

All 3 are sick! And it has cars you never see anymore, like the Yaris!

Great video! Gt 2 has hills in its tracks, it's a rally game. You should try that one.

Wow, big nostalgia. I had this game for my GBA when I was an exchange student in Japan.

For a Gameboy game the car models are really detailed, I especially love that the cars appear to reflect light, I know it's just how they did the sprites, but it's a nice touch

Omg, i loved gt3 as a Kid! It was soooo fun dude.

btw these games GT Advance series has sequel in gamecube & wii consoles, named GT Cube & GT Pro Series. It's basically same game but with different publisher (GT Cube publisher is from MTO itself and GT Pro Series publisher is from Ubisoft but developed by same MTO). the game's handling almost same as this GT Advance series and it has cell-shaded graphics same like Auto Modelista. Should Try it later!

Best New Year's Eve Party Stuff ever 🎁🎁

How nostalgic. I remembered back in the day, I played this game non-stop, just to get all the 97 cars in the game. And I thought that this was a GBA spin-off of the GT Series, but I was wrong. 😅 You should try GT Advance 2 to experience a mini-WRC series in the game. There are elevations there and at least the courses are in a real continent setting (the courses are not real tho...) You'll be surprised what "final car" to unlock in that game. 😁

This game looks cool, and I just discovered this RU-vid Channel at 11AM Thursday morning Auckland New Zealand time.

If you liked this, then you might like Sega Rally Championship. It's basically the same in terms of controls and visuals, but rally.

I had this game as like a 4 in 1 pak, it had GtAdvance 1-3, and MotoGP. My favorite was actually GtAdvance 2, because it was a rally car game instead of Motorsport, like the other games. I played countless hours of these games as a kid

interesting, might add to my list

This has more modes than GT PSP, wtf? :P

I had this game You've just unlocked a very deep memory

Great video man I remember this game fun game I say

I remember playing this one a lot on an emulator. I honestly wouldn't mind trying to find a cart and play it on my old advance SP, on a resolution that makes sense. But also lmao retro game market I ain't getting anywhere near that wasp nest.

I love this game series because it’s one of the few you can drive a Daihatsu Move in.

Grew up with this game man, was so good for its time 😂

I love this game growing up

By the way, the car on the title screen of this game is the ASL Garaiya, which is a sports car that sadly wasnt put into production, however it did also appear in Gran Turismo 4.

No joke, this was the very first video game I ever owned. I got it for Christmas alongside a game boy advance back in 2004 or 5.

This was my first ever racing game. I was literally 3 when I got this, and it's such a great game.

I'm stunned how I've had a hard core GBA upbringing but never seen this game once. I need to get in on this ASAP.

This is one of the best racing games on the GBA and I'm glad you are covering it. Also, be sure to check out GT Advance 2 if you're a fan of rally racing, it's just as good as GT Advance 3 IMO.

Yeah, those games are pretty great! GT2 specifically is also worth looking at since its a rally game, and they actually voiced the co-driver in it, on GBA 🔥

I had this game since like 2007. good times. fun game. lot of unlocks. cover the Wii game of the same franchise as well. that is so fun.

That's an awesome game, especially this third one

I had all the GT Racing games on GBA and had hundreds of hours on them. So fun.

i loved this game as a kid. i was horrible at it and couldn’t get past beginner class but i loved it anyways. the soundtrack kicks ass.

gt3 and v-rally 3 are two of the most technically impressive gba racing games that while on arcady side both try really hard tobe racing sims with both having a lot of their at home counter parts.

13:30 wich is funny because GT Advance 2 introduced elevation in the tracks

the taillights portion in the sprites is probably transparent with a generic pixel texture underneath it that turne gray /red for braking instead of a whole new set of sprites... if i was the developer, that's how i would of done it.

I loved this when i was a kid. I played this for hours on end

i love the gtadvance series. i have the poster for gtadvance 3 on my wall right now.

This game is unlocking a memory I didn’t know I had. But it isn’t this game I specifically remember.. does this developer have any other games?

Do you have any video on Naniwa Wangan Battle? I think I saw you comenting about it, but couldn't find any video with it

the "meep meep" got me 😹😹

I had this when i was young and i loved it so much

I'm blown away by the Nissan Nails, it was a concept car on the Tokyo Motor Show in 2001

This franchise also has a launch title on the Wii that was actually quite a lot of fun!

5:12 Flip that course clock-wise 90 degrees. That's Mario Circuit 1 from Super Mario Kart.
