It looks as though the wavy effect was removed from the underwater scenes. On another note, the wavy effect from touching fuzzy in Yoshi's Island was very glitchy compaired with the original. Maybe the GBA just can't do wave effects as well as the SNES could. It's not TOTALLY outclassing the SNES you know. It's well known the SNES has superior sound capabilities anyway.
Yes just as I said, the colors are bright and not as sharp. That might just be a result of how the screen shots were taken though. There are just as many colors, they just got blended together. Lazyness isn't going to drop the color count, it takes WORK to screw it up like that.
And you seem to forget something, the reason so many games look better isn't because they have the same resolution (because as I pointed out, it's physically impossible for the games to have the same resolution, those resolution specs are absolute fact), it's because they are designed with GBA in mind from teh start, so they work around it (and it's a very small screen which negates the resolution problem). When those pics are shrunk down to GBA screen size, it looks a lot nicer. Assuming it was just a problem with taking the pictures or bad lighting that made everything washed out, I think that they did a pretty good port job. I don't think it's some horrible ruining of the image.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
