Game Overview

Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad adventure through an incredible fantasy world on a quest to save the day, with little more than vegetables with which to defend themselves. The basic gameplay mechanics are the same in the Game Boy Advance version, but new enemies, better graphics and tougher challenges give the adventure a completely new feel.

The Bottom Line

Unlike other Mario games where Mario defeats enemies by jumping on their heads, in this game Mario and pals have to pick up items and hurl 'em at their adversaries. Each character has a unique set of strengths and weaknesses, such as Princess Peach's ability to hover longer than any other character. As an added bonus, Super Mario Advance also features the original Mario Bros. game.

GBA adaptation of Super Mario Bros. 2 (Super Mario Bros. USA in Japan). Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad adventure through an incredible fantasy world on a quest to save the day, with little more than vegetables with which to defend themselves. The basic gameplay mechanics are the same in the Game Boy Advance version, but new enemies, better graphics and tougher challenges give the adventure a completely new feel.

Expert Reviews

82/100

score

Effectively highlights the power of the handheld with its brilliant, rich visuals and will provide hours of challenging fun, especially for those who haven't played the original games on which it is based.

80/100

score

You've already seen it all, and much that's new has an empty, unsatisfying air about it that there should be lots more of this good stuff. But if you do pick up Super Mario Advance, I can pretty much promise you won't regret it for a second.
