What are some of the shortest Game Boy games, like under an hour at most? I feel the need to blow through some quick and easy games after spending 150 hours on long RPGs the last month.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 8 13:41:44 2015 No.2597112 >>2597102 Trip World is stupid short and easy if you want to play a rom or have an ungodly amount of money. Kirby's Pinball land or Dr.Mario if you want an endless game.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 8 13:42:08 2015 No.2597113 Kirby's Dream Land, Nemesis, Gradius: The Interstellar Assault, Super Mario Land, to name a few obvious choices. Most any (non-saving) platformer and shoot-'em-up.

game boy cartridges are so great
>that shape

damn.

but to your question: I remember a batman game I played that was pretty short, but I don't know the name. also (and obviously) games like pingball and such.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 8 14:37:06 2015 No.2597182 SML is like half an hour long if you are somewhat competent. A lot of the early titles were either super short or really arcadey.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 8 14:40:00 2015 No.2597184 Fish Dude is like 20 minutes long in theory. 18 levels at maybe 30 seconds each, but you'll die a few times.

Oh, man. Super Mario Land. I used to suck so hard at that game when I was a kid (most games, actually). Never fucking managed to beat it. Five years ago, though, I found the old Gameboy in my grandma's basement, and decided to give it another shot. Turned out to be pretty damn fun. So fun in fact, I actually ended up doing a no-death speedrun for shits and giggles. I don't quite remember how long exactly it ended up being, but it was definitely below 15 minutes.

Gonna hijack this thread and flip it on its ass by asking what are the LONGEST single sitting (i.e., no saves/pws) games on Game Boy?

>be kid
>make it to final level of a hard ass game I spent the last couple hours on
>batteries on the verge of death

^ THIS. Oh my fucking god that game gave me the worst headache.
Just have the volume off and put on a MegaMan playlist on your phone or whatever while you play it. That's what I wish I had done.
How did they fuck up the sound in it so bad? Was it a completely different team?
MM: Wily's Revenge wasn't bad, and MM III's music is good.
