How can you beat a short plumber who shoots fire out of his finger and rides a green dinosaur that eats everything? Simple, you can't. Super Mario World was by far the best game of its generation and possibly all time. The port of the Super Nintendo classic will be great! I will buy this as soon as it comes out, possibly sooner (the import will work with all American systems!). I'm going to push my GameCube aside and break out the old Super Nintendo just to get my Super Mario World fix today!

I have played this game on the SNES several times. This summer I was at a cabin that had a SNES and Super Mario World. I was unable to tear myself away from the game for the whole week, and I was unable to finish it (I didn't do that badly! That's besides the point!) My point: 74 diverse areas. Ride Yoshi. Several of Mario's unusual powers. This is one of the best games of all time. Only Super Mario 64 is better, but it's shorter. And SMW is on the GBA, meaning I will not be coming out of my room for a while... The best part is I don't need to bug my parents for extra time on a T.V. based console. Hee hee hee...

Nostalgia at its best!

I remember when this game first came out on Super NES years ago. It was mind boggling, and I loved how we got our first look at Yoshi! There were so many Yoshis. LOL. The graphics were great, gameplay was addictive in short it ROCKED! Anyways, this game is a classic and I will be the first one in line to get it! :)

This is a very nice game for all ages.I liked the story and the adventure was cool.It has beetween 50 levels and the powers you can find are cool.In my life I played playstation 2 and 1,nintendo 64,computer,sega and X-box and I never saw a game like it.It's better than mario advance or mario super circut.So who ever tells you that it... don't listen to them because they will be jealous of you buying them!And plus for a rating I give it 10 out of 10 altough it doesn't have that much graphics for a nintendo it does.And don't listen to people who say no to supermario.So contact me and be my friend at... and I will share your reviews.PS always for free and free and free!

Ok. If you like 2D platform games then this is one of the best games you can buy on ANY system. It has 100 levels. Hundreds of secrets and is so much fun to play. I played this when it was out on the Super Nintendo. Truly a classic.

This game is awesome

This game is awesome. I loved this for the Super NES and I'm going to love it for the GBA. I don't have GBA yet but I'll be getting it as soon as Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 comes out. I'll also get that game with it. That's why I'm waiting so long. I saw a movie on it and yu can choose to be Mario or Luigi. Luigi jumps just like in Super Mario advance and his fireball goes in a zig zag. Bottom line: This was an awsome game for the Super NES and will be a great addition to the Gameboy advance!
10/10

ýAnd In a Decade Later, It Still Lives!ý

It was 1992 and it lived in perpetual veneration. It was the year of the Super Nintendo, the return of a particular messiah. It was Mario's moment. I can still visualize the little toothless kid I was thundering from school, slamming the door on the way home, snatching the SNES controller, and directing Mario as my mom repeatedly chastised, "not so close to the TV!" I couldn't help it, at seven years old I was a gaming addict. Eventually, my face drooped closer to the TV, and in a decade of eye-ball glazing, I can salute the GBA port of Super Mario World Advance in praise, for it sizes up to the same rewarding fulfillment of its SNES forefather.

Processed with an effervescent graphical makeover, the GBA version exudes a nice blend of enhanced colors along with a slight pinch of detail. Another touch in the range of additions are the revamped music and the short, cheery quirks from Mario. Running on a higher resolution and opulent audio, Super Mario World Advance clocks in an indistinguishable experience to that of the SNES. Received as a faithful port, all the bullet stomping, shell-kicking, invincible star rampaging, and all the other aspects of 2D at its finest stuffed me on the sofa, solely rapt like I was seven-year-old again. Safe to say, in a decade later this 2D platforming masterpiece still lives in a prospect of excellence. For those who actually missed Super Mario World on the SNES (shame on you) now is the time to be acquainted with the incredible classic everyone will be revisiting.

In summary, Super Mario World Advance has the player rescue princess Toadstool from the clutches of the unrelenting turtle-villain known only as Bowser. The player's path is to sweep through the seven vast worlds where movement takes place on dotted maps. After a level is diced another dot becomes accessible and up until a castle is reached. There a Koopaling (one of Bowser's children) awaits to be whitewashed in one of many ingenious ways. Upon defeat, the next world opens and past levels may be incessantly replayed. Super Mario World Advance plays in an almost non-linear tone. Each world gushes out a great heap of secret and alternate directions. Hidden stages are typically unlocked by finding a hard-to-spot finishing point.

The colorful rebirth of Mario on the GBA remains intact, giving gamers-on-the-go a workout for the fingertips. Yet, of all its memorable and rewarding facets, Super Mario World`s real boom was its new hero, Yoshi. A dinosaur with one threatening tongue, Yoshi was ridden and used often. His use for exposing secret stages were required, letting the player experiment and endlessly search for any missed areas. With the option of handling a new and welcomed character, playing in an extensive quantity of levels, and almost non-linear gaming, gamers can see why this 2D groundbreaker help pave the way for an era of outstanding gaming.

From the world-shattering 2D of Super Mario World to the revolutionary Mario64, Miyamoto has definitely set the fundamentals of the Platform genre. And the genius who prearranged the re-releasing of Mario pastimes on the GBA is definitely a lucrative, and for the gaming audience, a grateful one. The GBA's port stocks all the bouncing stars, the flaming flowers, the growing mushrooms, the floating capes, and every1-up the SNES kept. Even if you have the original, the GBA one is still worth the weight loss of your wallet. Completed with slight enhancements, an unlimited lasting appeal, and glistening with Nintendo quality, this is Super Mario World with the liberty to play anytime and anywhere. Because sometimes it's just good to dwell on the past and into your gaming memories.

Mario at his best.

All right, after reading the various reviews posted for this game, I decided it would be beneficial for a review to be posted that is a little more detailed. So, here is why Super Mario World is such a good game. Picture the time this game was released, back when NES was the big thing and there were not any graphically impressive games. Then Nintendo releases Super Nintendo and this game. The response was tremendous. Graphics were bright and somewhat dimensional, the game was expansive with hidden areas. The same holds true for this GBA version of the game. All the 75 or so areas are there, the multiple colored yoshis in the star world to be found and used, the now classic power ups. Mario can get a cape that allows him to fly, on his own or with yoshi. I won't bother saying everything, for there is no need. Suffice it to say that this game is definately worth getting. Nostalgia aside, it is an excellent game.
