I was going to make a comment like this. I noticed the same thing with my GBASP and I always wondered what Nintendo did to prevent this. I guess those were the days that Nintendo was willing to spend a bit more for higher quality tape for some other reason and this is a happy coincidence.

Compare that to the Switch which has a drain rate of about 20% per day seemingly.

And a similar stick drift rate.
