Shockingly enough it is actually possible to do decent ray casting and much more on the GBA despite the incredibly minimal compute budget.

Joshua Barretto has been working on a GBA port of Super Mario 64 with entire 3D levels, characters, and movements. In my opinion just incredible work:

There was actually a fully 3d platformer released for the system during it's production run, Asterix & Obelix XXL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0pknb4ghUA

There was also a Tomb Raider port (and probably other examples of the genre).
