can you save games on a GBA?

[spanky]

i just got a gameboy advance sp and yoshi's island. is it possible to save my game and resume it at a later time? i see this "sleep" option, but i dont think that is what i am looking for. hmm... reminds me of the old NES days where if u got really far in a game, u either had to try and finish it, or lose your progress.

ok nevermind, i see how this works. i have to finish the level and the game will save. or at least i think that is whats going on.

well for me, after i finished a level, i can power off the game, and resume again later. i could even yank out the game, play another game, put the game back in, and resume. i guess the game is stored on the cartridge itself? but yeah.. you have to finish a level and be at the part where it shows you the map of yoshi moving to a different place.
