The '''Game Boy Advance SP''' (as in "'''sp'''ecial") (ゲームボーイアドバンスSP, ''Gēmu Bōi Adobansu Esupi'') is the second version of the [[Game Boy Advance]]. The Game Boy Advance was redesigned with a front-light screen, so that players can see the screen more easily in the dark, as well as a physical redesign giving the system a flip-book design protecting the screen from damage and adding also a rechargeable battery.
 
Over the four years since its release, [[Nintendo]] have issued many special designs of the new system, such as a design resembling the classic [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] colors and special Pokémon designs. A special edition golden ''The Legend of Zelda''-themed SP was available, coming bundled with ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. It was available for sale only in Europe, and available in the United States only through special giveaways.
 
The SP was re-released some time after the [[Nintendo DS]] came out, with a new back-lit screen, as it was a brighter alternative to the previous front-lit design. The new back-light version became standard and shares a similar screen quality to the Nintendo DS.
