Does anyone know why all the mario games for the GBA are from hong kong and they all have the same layout but differnt user names. Plus is there any way of refining the search to search U.S and Canada only.(I use ebay.ca)
I would like to get one for my daughter and i know it wont get here from there before xmas.

All GBA Games from Hongkong are pirates - if you don't know how to detect them you should'nt buy GBA games on Ebay.

Now now don't be too harsh, some people don't have much experience with Hong Kong and bootlegs in general.
As for the topic creator, those games are bootlegs. If you see ANYTHING thats made in Hong Kong (or is reigon free if its a DVD) Look at it with suspicion, because it's MOST LIKELY a pirate.

Even if you know what to look for you have to be careful buying GBA games on ebay because I've found some sellers will list their location as USA, etc.
Then there are sellers who bought the pirates unwittingly and are looking to unload them to another sucker.

There are also at least two sellers listing over a hundred GBA bootlegs a day located in London. It's sad, but close to 20% of "new" GBA games listed on eBay are bootlegs.

This is for satac, I have never searched for GBA games on ebay because I have never owned one. But thanks you for the other people who posted I think i will just buy a mario game from a store. Thanks again.

don't buy mario pinball that game is horrible. IMO it is very boring and the controls are repetative.

Buy Mario's hoops. Pretty fun game if you use the super gameboy.
