Developed by Tiertex Design Studios and published by Electronic Arts, Soccer Mania arrived on the Game Boy Advance as a sports game.

It is part of the LEGO series; on the GBA you can also try Drome Racers, Lego Racers 2 and Island Xtreme Stunts. The series also appears on other systems with Lego Racers (N64) and LEGO Alpha Team (GBC). Tiertex Design Studios also made Carrera Power Slide and MX 2002 Featuring Ricky Carmichael for the GBA.

Soccer Mania supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

Pick it if…

  • you want to race and compete
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you need current teams and rosters

What playing Soccer Mania is like

Sports games bring football, baseball, hockey, golf, tennis, wrestling and more to the console, from simulation-style management to over-the-top arcade action.

Tip for newcomers: Arcade-style sports games are the easiest to enjoy today; simulation titles may have outdated rosters but still offer satisfying gameplay.
