Nintendo released several add-ons for the Game Boy Advance, including:
* [[Nintendo e-Reader|e-Reader]]: A scanning device released in Japan (2001) and North America (2002) that read specialized cards allowing classic games to be played (like ''[[Donkey Kong (arcade game)|Donkey Kong]]'' and ''[[Excitebike]]'') or unlocked in-game content in Game Boy Advance (like ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4]]'' and [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'']]) and GameCube titles (like ''[[Animal Crossing]]''). It was compatible with the Game Boy Advance SP and Game Boy Player but did not fit into the Nintendo DS.
* [[Game Boy Advance Video]]: Special cartridges featuring select feature films (like ''[[Shrek]]'' and [[Shark Tale|''Shark Tale'']]) or two episodes of an animated series (like [[Pokémon (anime)|''Pokémon'']] and [[SpongeBob SquarePants|''SpongeBob SquarePants'']]). These cartridges were blocked from playback on the [[Game Boy Player]] to prevent unauthorized recording.
* [[GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable]]: Enabled connectivity between the Game Boy Advance and GameCube for select games, such as  ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]''.<ref name="Connecting to the Cube" /> It also allowed the Game Boy Advance to function as a controller for some titles.
* [[Mobile Adapter GB]]: Connects the console to a [[mobile phone]], utilizing its [[cellular network]] for online interactions via the Mobile System GB service, most notably for ''[[Pokémon Crystal]]''. Limited game support and high costs led to low adoption. The service ended on December 18, 2002, and it was never released outside Japan due to wireless incompatibilities.
* [[Play-Yan]]: A MP3 (audio) and MPEG4 (video) player featuring a headphone jack and [[SD card]] slot for media playback. Initially released in Japan, it later launched in Europe as the Nintendo MP3 Player (minus video functionality) but never in North America.
* [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|Wireless Adapter]]: Attached to the back of the Game Boy Advance, replacing the [[Game Link Cable]] for multiplayer connectivity. It was priced at {{US$|20|2004|round=0}} and was bundled with [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|''Pokémon FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'']]. Due to its late release, fewer than 20 games support it. A special version was released for the [[Game Boy Micro]] which maintains full compatibility.

Other accessories for the Game Boy Advance include:
* [[Afterburner (modification kit)|Afterburner]]: An internal [[frontlight|front-lighting]] system by Triton Labs, requiring disassembly, case modification, and soldering for installation. It resembled the Game Boy Advance SP's original front-lit display. Despite voiding the system's warranty, the Afterburner was highly popular, with demand exceeding supply during the 2002 holiday season.<ref name="GBA 2.0">{{Cite web |date=January 6, 2003 |title=Enhanced GameBoy coming |url=https://money.cnn.com/2003/01/06/commentary/game_over/column_gaming/index.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171209100036/http://money.cnn.com/2003/01/06/commentary/game_over/column_gaming/index.htm |archive-date=December 9, 2017 |access-date=December 8, 2017 |website=[[CNN|CNN Money]]}}</ref>
