I played a lot of The Wild Thornberries GBA game. I never watched the movie, I didn't really even like the show, but it had a coloring mini game that I liked. Think you unlocked more coloring pages by playing it so I did.

Tecmo Secret of the Stars had dated graphics, an incredibly bad translation, really generic story and a bit of old school grind to boot.

But I really enjoyed that you had two parties that you swapped between, each of them could go through colored gates the other couldn't, and it also had a town building aspect that at the time was not as common in console games especially. I think the fact that I was only able to play this by finding it at a local rental place, no store in my area ever seemed to actually sell it, made it feel more special than it actually was. But I got this one from the rental store multiple times since no nearby stores actually sold it. At least not near Christmas or my birthday, which were the only times my parents would even entertain spending what little money we had on video games.
