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

excellant

My nine year old son used his money to purchase this game and had loads of fun.

For nostalgia's sake alone

Mario's first appearance on the GBA came with the first Super Mario Advance game, which is an updated port of Super Mario Bros. 2 for the original Nintendo console. For those that don't know, Super Mario Bros. 2 was a departure from the classic, standard setting original game, as Mario now pulled radishes out of the ground to hurl at enemies among other changes (the reason behind these is because the original Super Mario Bros. 2 was deemed too difficult when originally developed, so another in-development game got a Mario facelift and was released as Super Mario 2 here in the states, while the other Mario sequel would see somewhat of a release as Super Mario All-Stars on the Lost Levels segment), but despite it all, the game still offered some solid platforming action and fun. Choosing to play as Mario, Luigi, Toad, or Princess Peach; you hurl radishes and other items at enemies, look for secrets, and more besides. The game is pretty simple to get into, and the graphics and sound have been updated for the GBA, but there are some flaws. The controls aren't as tight as we've seen on Mario games before and after this, and there are moments where the game really doesn't feel like a Mario game (and it's really not, for reasons mentioned above), but despite it's flaws, the first Super Mario Advance is a fun diversion, even though it is the weakest of the four Super Mario Advance games that came out for the GBA over it's lifespan. All in all, if you're still looking to get some quality, triple-A titles for your GBA before it completely bites the dust, here's one to pick up if you haven't already.

Super Mario Advance

Pretty good game, not as good as some of the Mario games. Nice game for kids between 4 and 7. I enjoyed this game 15 years ago and had to buy it for my Nintendo DS.

A little disappointing...

I bought this game without knowing that it was the same as Super Mario 2. This was my least favorite Mario game for the NES. I also think it was kind of pointless to include the original Mario Brothers game. (You remember the one with the POW barrel) That game is not fun, and requires a connector cable and an opponent for any kind of real game play. I recommend Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3 for some classic Mario fun.
