Item Description

There is a reason so many players still name Super Mario Bros. 3 as their favorite Mario game. Airships, a world map full of secrets, the debut of the seven Koopalings and a raccoon tail that let Mario take to the skies made the 1990 NES release feel like a leap into the future. Super Mario Advance 4 brought that adventure to the Game Boy Advance, using the brighter look of the Super Mario All-Stars version, so the whole thing fits in your pocket.

The heart of it hasn't changed, and that's a compliment. Eight worlds take Mario and Luigi from Grass Land through the sands of Desert Land, the oversized enemies of Giant Land and the plumbing maze of Pipe Land before the final push into Dark Land. Along the way come some of the most inventive power-ups the series has produced: the Super Leaf, the Tanooki Suit that turns Mario into a stone statue, the Frog Suit for underwater stages, the Hammer Suit, and the single unforgettable level where Mario stomps around in Kuribo's Shoe. Toad Houses, card-matching bonus games and secret Warp Whistles make the map itself worth exploring.

The GBA version adds real conveniences. You can save your progress, something the NES cartridge never allowed, and Charles Martinet's voice clips give Mario and Luigi extra personality. The bigger story was the e-Reader: scanning special cards with Nintendo's card-reader accessory added brand-new levels to a bonus World-e, along with extra power-ups such as the Cape Feather from Super Mario World. Those cards were sold separately and some were released only in Japan, which turned World-e into a small legend among Mario fans until the full set resurfaced in later Nintendo re-releases.

Like every entry in the Super Mario Advance series, it also includes a remake of the arcade Mario Bros. for link-cable play with friends. As the fourth and final Advance remake, it closed the series with its strongest source material, and a Game Boy Advance cartridge is the way to carry Super Mario Bros. 3 on original Nintendo hardware with saves and portability the NES version could never offer.
