five-question personality quiz to have a monster randomly generated. Every aspect of a monster—frame, accessories, actual drawn body shape and thickness—affects its stats: Speed, Mental, Power, Stamina, Weight, Element, and Class. Various events rely on different stats; for example, races will use Speed while fights rely on Power. Monsters in their element, such as a Fire monster in a Spin (lava) stage, will gain an advantage. The Class stat denotes the overall skill level of the monster. Multiplayer Amazing Island offers multiplayer options, where two to four players can compete on the Courses or link up in the Monster Cards minigame. In the main game, players can complete an entire Course or specific event. They also have the option to use multiple memory cards to import their own monsters and cross-reference high scores between save files. In Monster Cards, up to four Game Boy Advances can link up to battle each other. If arranged close together, all four screens form an entire battle view. The last survivor of a Monster Cards battle will be awarded a chest. Reception The game received mostly mixed reviews. IGN gave it a 6.7 "passable" rating.
