Space Invaders Overview
Space Invaders for Game Boy Advance provides a two-player versus mode where each participant competes on a split screen to destroy more invaders than their opponent. The game is derived from the 1994 arcade release Space Invaders DX, though it does not include that version's parody mode.
Players can select from different visual styles, including various simulated arcade cabinet backgrounds. While the standard Game Boy presentation uses a monochrome palette, connecting the cartridge to a Super Game Boy unlocks the full set of cabinet types found in the SNES iteration.
Other contemporary ports introduced unique features not present in this handheld version. The PC Engine CD edition added a cosmic versus mode with anime-style female character backgrounds, which also appeared in a separate single-player omake mode. The WonderSwan release offered a more limited selection of cabinet styles but retained the competitive versus gameplay.
