Play Power Poke Dash Online

Power Poke Dash is one of those GBA games that somehow slipped under the radar, which is a shame because it’s an absolute riot. You play as this little speedster—think Sonic if he traded attitude for pure, chaotic energy—zooming through these wild, neon-drenched levels full of loops, jumps, and enemies that pop up out of nowhere.

The controls are stupidly simple (just dash, jump, and occasionally use a power-up), but the levels get seriously creative. One second you’re bouncing off springs, the next you’re dodging spinning blades or racing against a timer. It’s got that perfect arcade feel where you’ll fail a level three times in a row and still mash "continue" because this time you’ll nail it.

Honestly, it’s the kind of game you boot up for "just five minutes" and suddenly realize you’ve been grinding for high scores for an hour. If you’ve got a soft spot for pixelated chaos, give it a shot.
