Recommendations on casual GB/GBA games? (slrpnk.net)

Hi! Maybe y'all can help me out.

I have a Miyoo mini plus and sometimes, I feel the itch to play something just to fiddle around a bit. I'm looking for something that's easy to pick up and pla' for a few minutes up to maybe half an hour.

Bonus points if I can play it without needing to use my speech recognizing brain functions. It would be ideal if I can just occupy my hands a pit while still listening to what my colleagues say in remote meetings (I used to use a rubik's cube for that). ADD is a bitch.

I already got:

Apotris (really awesome, but a bit stressful after a while)
Wario Ware (can also get a bit stressful)
Pokemon Pinball Saphire and ruby (great, but has gotten a bit repetitive now)
... that's it

It doesn't have to be GB/GBA, but I recon that those systems have the biggest bounty of pick up and play games. The Miyoo Mini Plus can emulate everything up to PS1, so SNES and PS1 would be fine, too.

Great games, but sadly, not really what I'm looking for.

Story heavy games like JRPGs is a bit stretching the definition of "pick up and play". ;)

I don't have the time to get into these involved games (and if I do, I'd rather play on the Steam Deck).

I have played and r"ally digged the GB/SNES Zeldas. Haven't mentioned these, since they're not really pick up and play, either.

Thanks for your contribution, though. (:
