Summary

Inspired by Luc Besson’s animated film, the Game Boy Advance title Arthur and the Invisibles tries to capture the movie’s whimsical visuals with its own graphics and technical tricks. The game centers on three characters—Arthur, Selenia and Bétamèche—whose skills must be blended to move forward: Bétamèche’s detector scouts hidden items, Selenia upgrades her dagger into the Sword of Power, and Arthur can strip enemy shields.
Puzzles often involve assembling the stone "Flagstone" to unlock doors, and the platforming gets wild when you climb atop a Mogoth to cross razor‑sharp paths or hitch a ride on gigantic spiders and ladybugs. Unfortunately, the handheld version was slammed for its blurry graphics, repetitive soundtrack, overly easy difficulty and a thin amount of content compared to its console siblings.
Despite the ambition, the GBA experience feels more like a stripped‑down showcase of the film’s world than a fleshed‑out adventure, leaving most fans wishing for deeper challenges.

Storyline

Arthur and the Invisibles on the Game Boy Advance follows the young hero Arthur as he teams up with his two Minimoy allies, Selenia and Bétamèche. The trio embarks on a quest to stop a looming catastrophe that threatens to destroy the hidden Minimoy world. Their adventure weaves together elements from Luc Besson’s Minimoy universe, showcasing its quirky inhabitants and magical settings.

Along the way they solve puzzles, battle enemies, and explore sprawling underground realms, all while racing against time to restore balance. The story emphasizes friendship and bravery, highlighting how Arthur’s courage inspires his tiny companions. Ultimately, their combined effort saves the Minimoys from annihilation.
