Ice Age for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance is a 2D platformer that brings the prehistoric adventure of the 2002 animated blockbuster to your handheld. Players take on the role of Sid the Sloth or Manny the Mammoth as they journey through ten massive levels to return the human baby, Roshan, to his tribe. 
 
Key Features
Playable Prehistoric Pals: Switch between Manny the Mammoth and Sid the Sloth. Manny uses his immense size to stomp through obstacles and swat enemies with his trunk, while Sid uses his agility to slide and perform spin attacks.
Diverse Environments: Trek across ten frozen worlds, including glaciers, ice caverns, raging rivers, and even dangerous volcanoes.
Classic Platforming Combat: Face off against prehistoric predators like saber-toothed tigers, rhinos, and giant snails. Use acorns as projectiles to defeat enemies from a distance or stomp them to clear your path.
The Acorn System: Much like Sonic the Hedgehog, your acorn count acts as your health. Collect as many as possible to survive hits; finishing a level with over 40 acorns even unlocks hidden bonus levels.
Interactive Puzzles: Utilize the environment and other characters to advance. Use Manny to move sleeping rhinos or inhale skunk fumes to float over deep chasms.
