About this game

Willie has disappeared, and Maya sets out to find her friend. This Game Boy Advance adventure follows her rescue journey through a world of insects and other creatures. Run and jump through sixteen stages, avoid traps and enemies, and search for hidden items and secret areas. Maya's friends teach her new actions as you progress: clear webs with pollen, use crates to reach higher places, and learn to fly. Cricket checkpoints let you retry from a nearby point after losing a life. At the end of a stage, match pairs of cards in a memory game; finding more hidden items gives you more attempts and a chance to earn extra lives.

Also known as: Maya L'Abeille: La Grande Aventure; Die Biene Maja: Das Grosse Abenteuer; La Abeja Maya: Nuevas Aventuras
