Super Mario World, in my opinion, is the best Mario game of all time! Bigger worlds, secret levels, different Yoshis, and many bosses make this game one in which will keep you enthralled for weeks! I beat the game in two weeks, but I also used the game guide so I could try to find some shortcuts and several different Yoshis (I feel lost without a game guide). I've played the game on the SNES and this one is just as addictive as the one on the SNES! Although Bowser seems easier to defeat in this one, it still will keep you entertained for weeks! This is one GBA game that you will never get tired of!
GREAT GAME!!! COULD BE STRESSFUL

I have to admit, this is a great game, but it can be hard at times, i still can't beat the final boss. But it can be fun at times trying to figure out the secrets, and beating the game faster. But this game lost a star for 2 reasons: This game can be very very stressful, and ive wanted to throw my GBA at the wall many times( but didn't), and the SNES version is a whole lot better. If you have anxiety, or stress problems DO NOT BUY!!. I reccomend you buy this game, because its a pure classic!!
A Golden Game From a Past Era of Gaming in a Form

I was very suprised about how well this SNES classic was moved to the GBA with no loss of anything. There are a few new features that are great. But the voices of mario and luigi saying the same thing is a little annoying, but not enough to even bring down the game at all. If you loved the SNES classic, get this game before you can't find it anymore.
Outstanding classic. Masterpiece!

This game rises no question to be one of the best mario games ever!! beautiful stage design and lots of secrete to play with. I have been playing this game for more then 7 years, never gets old!! Now in GBA it is even better. I specially like the new feature: when you are in the map, you can click the select button to see what are the levels you have played and if you have played all the secrete levels, just like Mario 64. It also added few Mario 64 sounds. Nice job.
Another great platformer.

This game is a great game that really stands out above the rest. Nintendo has always made good games, but this is really a standout title.
If you think the game is easy...you haven't completed it

This is a great game. The graphics could be a little better, but other than that the game will keep your attention. The game is farley easy to beat if you go from level 1 to 7. But if you are a hardcore gamer like me, there are so many secret areas in this game. To get all of them with the yoshi coins in each level is tough. I give the game 4 stars instead of 5 because when you are throught with the game, there is nothing else to do. There is a multiplayer game like in Super mario 2 advance, but that is it. I recomend renting it, before you buy it.
Better than on the SNES

I have played Super Mario Advance and I think that it is a top game. I have played on both this version and the SNES version and I have to say that they are both almost exactly alike except for a few improvements that have been made on the GBA version. The GBA version has a great multi-player mode and as the GBA is portable you can play this game anywhere which is great. Also the graphics are a bit better and Mario and Yoshi can do some new tricks as well. I think bringing games from the SNES on to the GBA is a great idea and should be done with a lot more games
Marios at his best!

In this game, Mario and Luigi come to an island with princess peachs sister, Toadstool. Bowser, the koopa king, kidnaps her and you have to save her from him. You have to fight his assistant koopas first. They are Iggy, Lemmy, ludwig, Roy, Wendy O. you have to go through their castles, as well as levels to get to Bowsers palace. yoshi can help you. you cannot be hurt on Yoshi but if touched you will fall off and he will try to run away. OOF!
The best GBA game yet; Super Mario Advance 2!

It's fun with Yoshi, you can fly, and it's cool because you can switch between Luigi (he's the best) and (dumb ol') Mario.
better than the snes version
