Charlie Bucket lives with a family in poverty and loves chocolate. He dreams of visiting Willy Wonka's mysterious factory. One day, Wonka announces a contest: five golden tickets hidden inside his chocolate bars will win a tour of the factory. Will Charlie find one of the tickets? Will he be the lucky winner?
Gameplay involves 2D platforming with condensed gameplay to fit the Game Boy Advance console. The player controls Charlie as he navigates through levels, collecting candies and finding hidden items. There are three types of games: Adventure , where players complete main levels following the movie storyline; Mini-Games , which require players to find specific letters to unlock mini-games; and Oompa-Loompa Album , a photo album with illustrations. Players start with five lives, represented by a life bar that can be restored with full Wonka bars.
The game features nine save slots, allowing players to choose which type of gameplay they want to play or revisit previous levels. With each level completed, the player can unlock new content and progress through the story.

Story
Introduction
This is the story of an ordinary little boy named Charlie Bucket. He is not faster, or stronger, or more clever than other children. Indeed, Charlie is barely strong enough to stand in the wind. His family is not rich, or powerful, or well-connected. In fact, they barely have enough to eat.
Yet Charlie Bucket is the luckiest boy in the entire world. He just doesn't know it yet. Unseen for years, Willy Wonka, the world's greatest candy maker, has decided to invite five children into his fantastic chocolate factory.
Five Golden Tickets have been hidden beneath the wrappers of five ordinary Wonka bars. The lucky children who find them are to be taken on a personal tour of the factory by Mr. Wonka himself. The luckiest child of them all will receive an extra special prize, beyond anything you could ever imagine.
