I'm looking for a game like Wetrix for GBA. I love that type of puzzle game and I'm hoping there is something like it for the GBA. Any recommendations on games knowing that's what I like?

Not really like Wetrix... but these are the best puzzlers on the GBA- Chu Chu Rocket, Columns Crown, Denki Blocks, Egg Mania, It's Mr. Pants, Mr. Driller 2, Rampage Puzzle Attack, Super Bust-A-Move, Super Monkey Ball Jr., Super Puzzle Fighter II, The Lost Vikings...
And some of the best importing you will ever do:
Kuru Kuru Kururin and Kururin Paradise
(And for the simple fact that I'm pimping Kururin...) Kururin Squash on GameCube is a must-have import title too!

I second Rampage Puzzle Attack. Puzzle Fighter II is a great game, just a bit choppy and slow on the GBA.

Agreed. I love puzzle fighter, but not the GBA port.

That pretty much sums up everything. Here's a couple more:
Turbo Turtle Adventure - I dug this one up online, so I'm not certain if it was released in the US. This was a 2001 puzzler very similar to Super Monkey Ball and Chip's Challenge. The game involves navigating a rolling turtle over obstacle courses, with the usual obstacles and locked doors to overcome. I really enjoy it and recommend you give it a look.
Hikaru no Go 2 (http://www.danielthomas.org/pop/videogames/go.htm) - One of those GBA titles I constantly hype, so I'll be brief. It's an enormously entertaining version of the Asian game of Go. Go is rather easy to grasp after a short time, but all text is in Japanese, so you'll need the gamefaqs.com guide. But it's easy to grasp, really.

Thanks for all the replies!

Mr Driller Ace, more gameplay modes and characters than Mr Driller 2.
You should really try to get hold of Guru Logic Champ as it's one of the best puzzle games you can find on the GBA. More info in this review. (http://www.ntsc-uk.com/review.php?platform=gba&game=GuruLogicChamp)

I love Scrabble (Ubisoft version) and Puyo Puyo (GBA title is Puyo Pop). Highly recommended!

I second Guru Logic Champ. It's extremly addictive, and very funny and cute on top of it. A must have title :)

I'll second Super Puzzle Fighter, Chu Chu Rocket (doesn't seem to be diff from the DC version...which might be a negative), Super Monkey Ball (see Chu Chu Rocket), and Kuru Kuru Kururin.
I'll add Pokemon Puzzle Challenge. GBC...so I am sort of cheating, but who cares. It is a great portable Tetris Attack clone (well...outside of TA for GB itself). ;)
