That's what happens when you buy 3rd party... Or when you bought 3rd party back then anyway. I speak only of the 1st party stuff.
But as far as the same cart, or even the same game, having 3 different techs for saving.... never heard of that until now. I personally think that may be showing the steady evolution of carts on the N64, with the battery backed being the oldest and the other two being the newer ones that replaced it.
I also was not aware of this on the GBA. Pretty odd to say the least... I mean, I opened up one of the very first games made for it, that I bought on launch day even, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, and it didn't have a battery to be seen. I'm surprised there's room in there honestly.
At any rate, them's the breaks.

"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)
