Product Description
Super Mario Advance brings back the fun of Super Mario Bros. in the new game!

Amazon.com Review
The world's favorite plumber makes his first appearance (along with playable characters Luigi, Peach, and Toad) on the Game Boy Advance, and, for the most part, Mario's arrival is welcome indeed.

Super Mario Advance is primarily a slightly tweaked port of Super Mario Bros. 2, the (still) very popular side scroller from the days of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). So expect plenty of running, jumping, and hurling of items at many a foe.

The game's graphics and sound have been a given a nice overhaul from the original game, and are clear and bright enough to please old-school and new fans alike. While Nintendo did a good job shrinking the visuals down to handheld size, the tiny GBA screen can get very busy at times, making accidental death due to sometimes less-than-precise controls frustratingly frequent--at least in the beginning. Most gamers should overcome such mishaps with a little patience.

Also included is the still fun, if forgettable, original Mario Bros. game from many eons ago. Up to four players can engage in a coin-collecting battle mode or the classic mode. Super Mario Advance isn't the game to show off the power of the GBA, but it is a long, fun title that will satisfy today's gamers with a taste from the best of Mario's past. --Mark Brooks

Pros:

  • One of the best NES games is faithfully ported
  • Upgraded sound and graphics
  • Gameplay is easy to get into
Cons:
  • Somewhat loose controls
  • Neither fresh nor original for those who've played the NES version


Amazon.com Product Description
In Mario's debut on the Game Boy Advance platform, the swashbuckling plumber goes back to what he knows best: side-scrolling adventure. Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad wander this richly colored fantasyland to fight new and original enemies by collecting items to throw at them (alas, the famous jump attack isn't enough to dissuade these foes). Players are allowed to choose which character they'll play as--you can even switch between levels--and each in the cast has different strengths. For example, Luigi can jump higher than his brother, Mario, but the plumber is faster. Super Mario Advance also has a multiplayer game where up to four Game Boy Advance units can be linked together via the separately sold communication cable, allowing you to wage friendly battles for collectible coins using Koopa shells.

This game has great graphics,gameplay and sound effects. If you love the nes version then you will love Mario Advance. Plus they have the classic arcade Mario Bros. Both of the games are very fun. I would recommend this to any Mario Bros fan. Enjoy!!!

IT has good gameplay, and the graphics are good, but the abilities and availabilities found the the SNES version a deffinately lacking. Also you cant move around the world as you please, and there are no special levels. other than that, it a good game.

I loved this game ever since I was a kid and it came out on Super Nintendo. (even though it came out on regular Nintendo first, I like the Super Nintendo versions better!) When Gameboy Advance was first distributed I thought nothing of it. Although, when I walked into a store and noticed there was a demo for Gameboy Advance I tried it out. It was with Super Mario Advance and I loved it so much that I bought Gameboy Advance and Super Mario Advance!

Super Mario Advance (SMA let's call it) is a wonderful game that you could take on a plane flight or something that's awefully boring. It's really fun and it's basically the same thing as the first version. In SMA they give you two games. First ever Mario and Super Mario 2. Super Mario 2 on SMA has drastically changed from the first version. DON'T WORRY NOT THE LEVELS OR THE IMPORTANT STUFF IN THE GAME, but they added more voices, some big enemies, and much more.

I gave it 5 stars because it's really fun even know it's changed a bit. It even has multiplayer but only on Mario (first ever game), but the multiplayer is really fun. (I've played it and had exciting times with my friend) The only problem is you have to get a special cable to play multiplayer. But if I were you I would BUY this game... trust me you don't want to rent.

This game rocks! I love the super mario games since I never had the Super nintendo. It has the 1st two games on it. But still it's too adictive! You can't put this game down! If they come out with a second one. I'd buy it.
