Super Nintendo Port Appraisal

Donkey Kong Country for Game Boy Advance

This is an original video game cartridge for the Game Boy Advance (GBA) handheld console featuring the title 'Donkey Kong Country.' The cartridge is constructed from dark charcoal grey molded plastic, typical of standard GBA releases, with the 'Game Boy Advance' logo embossed in sans-serif capital letters across the top face above the label area. The front label features high-gloss artwork depicting characters Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong in a jungle setting, accompanied by the Nintendo, Rareware, and ESRB 'E' for Everyone rating logos. Notable identifying markings include the model code 'AGB-A5NE-USA' printed on the lower right flank and the Official Nintendo Seal of Quality. In terms of condition, the label appears well-preserved with vibrant colors, minimal peeling at the corners, and no visible fading, though there is a light vertical scratch or hair visible near the right edge of the label. The plastic casing shows minor superficial scuffing consistent with age and insertion into a console, but no structural cracks or deep gouges are present. This specific version was released by Nintendo in June 2003, representing a port of the 1994 SNES classic. The craftsmanship is standard for mass-produced electronic media of the early 2000s, utilizing a durable friction-fit design for internal circuit protection.
