All players have the same Game Boy Advance Game Pak in each Game Boy Advance system. IMPORTANT: Be sure to check the Game Pak packaging and read the Game Pak instruction booklet for the game you are playing to see if you need more than one copy of the Game Pak to play multiplayer games and to see how many players can play simultaneously. 1P 2P 3P or 2-Player Game 1P 2P Illustration 10 3-Player Game 10 Game Boy Advance SP Headphone Adapter To use headphones with the Game Boy Advance SP, you must have a Headphone Adapter (sold separately, visit our on-line store at www.nintendo.com or call 1800-255-3700). 1.
