The Aging cartridges are a series of internal Nintendo software seemingly used for testing hardware performance.[1]
A few of them have been leaked by prototype collectors.

The AGS Aging Cartridge tests the Game Boy Advance and has some unused Super Mario, "Donkey Kong Advance" graphics. Some of its content is shared with the Nintendo DS Aging Card NTR.
