Elevator Action: Old & New is a Japan-only Elevator Action game released for the Game Boy Advance in 2002. It's developed by Taito, but MediaKite served as the publisher.
The "Old" in the title is based on a port of Elevator Action. The "New" served as a new game with a single-player campaign. The player can play three characters, Robin, Berry, and Fan.
Elevator Action: Old & New provides examples of:
- Callback: The first area of the game is a vertical building similar to the original game, and the various songs in the game are remixed versions of the original game's main theme.
- Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Red for Robin, Pink for Berry, and blue for Fan.
- Competitive Balance:
- Fragile Speedster: Berry has the best speed and jump but weakest power. The unlockable fourth character also falls under this, who is the fastest but starts with a single hit point at the beginning of each round.
- Jack of All Stats: Robin is average in speed, jump and power.
- Mighty Glacier: Fan has the best power but weakest speed and jump.
- Delinquent Hair: Robin sports a massive pompadour.
- Eyes Always Shut: Fan's eyes are always shut.
- Girlish Pigtails: Berry sports twintails.
- Invincible Minor Minion: Zombies can be found in the stages and take a few hits to take out. They'll get up momentarily, though.
- No Ending: Complete all the missions and you're treated to the credits. Good job!
- Secret Character: A fourth character in New is unlocked after completing the New campaign with all three characters.
