3 out of 5 stars Not the best Mario game for GBA...   September 24, 2006
 3 out of 6 found this review helpful

This game is sortta boring. There are not many glitches in this game, but most of the glitches from the SMB2 NES version have somewhat got copied into this game. The bosses and baddies are VERY LAME and VERY STUPID!!! Don't care about them, and just beat the crap out of them so you can get it over with! The characters also make stupid coments. This game is VERY wierd.


2 out of 5 stars Significantly worse on the GBA   August 20, 2006
 4 out of 7 found this review helpful

This game is a big disappointment from Nintendo. First off, the original game wasn't all that great to begin with due to its tiny worlds, nonexistant powerups, and simple boss characters. However, what makes this game a real loser is that it's worse than the the SNES remake on the Super Mario All-Stars game and even the original NES game!

The game does have some advantages over previous versions:
1) The graphics are taken from Super Mario All-Stars and therefore are an improvement over the original.
2) The mindnumbingly boring slot machine scene after each tiny world have been made more tolerable since you can now bet a group of coins instead of making individual bets for each and every coin you have.
3) Like All-Stars, you can pick a different character after each tiny level instead of waiting until an entire world was cleared.


What makes this game worse than All-Stars?
1) The horrible scrolling engine! SMB2 had a unique scrolling style on vertical levels which remains, but the horizontal levels are torture too. You can literally tap your character one direction or the other and the entire screen will scroll so that your character is near either the left or right edge. The scrolling engine alone makes this game unplayable. What is it with Nintendo and its policy of using lousy camera work for its Mario games? I thought that was just for their 3D Mario games.

2) The annoying vocal work from the 3D games has been added here to make the experience as unpleasant as possible. Do we really need to hear "Lucky" after collecting a cherry? Battle scenes with Birdo have some sort of annoying speech that I haven't made out quite yet, and it freezes the action while the dialog is being spoken.

3) Weird tacked-on stuff: the game has a lot of little new things that just feel totally out of place. Anyone familiar with the real version of the game is familiar with the inital drop that happens when you start world 1-1. The new version is totally different and this new little vertical area is littered with everything that will annoy you about this game.


My recommendation? DO NOT BUY.

Nintendo needs to know that terrible ports like this are totally unacceptable! I recommend waiting for the Nintendo Revolution (aka the poorly named "Wii") and obtain the NES original or the superior SNES Super Mario All-Stars version on the virtual console instead.

i was blown away at SMB2 on the NES, and on SMB ALL STARS ON THE SNES, but on the gameboy, I still love it! the only thing i have a problem with are the voices, and the amount of space you have on the screen, it's so small, but overall, THIS GAME IS A MUST BUY FOR ALL! i love it!


5 out of 5 stars I always loved the gameplay in smb2 and now it's back.   June 1, 2006

One of my favorite games was SMB2 and now it's back with better graphics and new feaatures. The mario bros. game is great fun too! I recommend this to people who liked the original.
