In a way? Cause the GBA one reminds me of a cross between Wario Land 4/Shake It and Donkey Kong Country, what with its naturalistic setting and 'run back to the beginning of the level' gameplay:
Anyone else reminded of Wario Land 4 and Shake It by this game?
It reminds me of other platformers on the GBA isntead of Wario Land. Probably because of the 3D-ish effect on the levels.
But, yeah, the "run back to the start" is kinda like Wario Land 4.
I never thought about the similarity to Wario Land before, but yeah the "run back to the beginning" mechanic is very much like the one in Wario Land 4 and Shake It.
And yeah, the art style is definitely channeling Donkey Kong Country. And the overworld sections remind me of Conker's Pocket Tales and Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge. However, the core mechanic of using various creatures to traverse the levels is something I've never seen any another platformer I can think of.
