Mine is Lady Sia for GBA. It's just a platformer but I just love it played and completed more 20 times. Will probably speedrun it in future.

But of a desperate cry for help, but there was a 2D game on the NDS, in which you controlled a mech to fly through side-view levels and shoot enemies and turrets. It also had a story mode with an anime girl in orange and anime boy in blue as mech pilots. There was also a level editor, and you could transfer the levels to other DS's with the same game using sound, which sounded a lot like internet over a phone line.

I played this so much back in the day but I can't find the game (my mother discarded all my games from the attic some time after moving out, inc. fully functional SNES. Unrelated, I just needed to reshare the trauma) not the name of it.

Does anyone have any idea which game this could be?

The game you're thinking of is Bangai-O Spirits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangai-O_Spirits. It was a DS sequel to Bangai-O on the Sega Dreamcast (another excellent, and imho the superior version). I had the DS version as well and it was a great game. If you ever get the chance (emu or native) I'd highly recommend playing the original on Dreamcast. Pure Arcade shmup goodness.

Yes, that's it! Thank you so much!

For sure! Such a trip it made it on the DS, with a level editor even.

I had sunken bazillions of hours into that level editor, showing my levels to my friends! Loved that!
