Our grandson's opinion - Awesome! It's the Mario Brothers at their best! Now he can enjoy both the old and new challenges of Super Mario Brothers 3 on his new Game Boy Advance SP System Graphite. It was good on his Game Cube but now, on Game Boy Advanced, it is great! ~ The Boss

Buy it.

Buy this classic Mario game because-

Pros. Deep game that has a lot of different secrets,
Great Graphic and Music
Challenging level design
Great items that were new to the series at the time of the release of the original such as flight hammer bros. suit etc.

Cons. That voices (of the mario bros.) get a little annoying after a while

This is in my opinion the Nes' best game. I hope you liked my review. So go get this... now ;)

Thanks.

We have great fun with Super Mario Advance 4

We purchased this game for my son (who is 10) and he gave it the 5-star rating. He says he enjoys this game for the ability to change into different animals and earn new lives to keep your game going. He also enjoys the multi-player ability since he and his sister can connect their gameboys and play against each other. The game keeps them entertained with its many levels and is not one that they become easily bored with. Since I have never played the game myself, I have to rely on what the kids tell me.

Arguably the best NES Mario game is still a blast

Ask any long-time Mario fan what the best game out of the series is, and a likely response will be Super Mario Bros. 3. This game introduced the idea of multiple abilities for Mario, and took the successful Mario Bros. 1 formula and extended it to more varied worlds.

I spent innumerable hours playing the original SMB3, and I poured an equal amount of time into it on the SNES in the form of Mario All Stars. Now here we are again with SMB3 on the Game Boy Advance. Is it still fun? You bet! The game has been left largely unchanged except for graphical and audio upgrades, and the addition of a save game function - definitely a welcome feature, given the length and difficulty of the game.

The GBA version has a few additions up its sleeve, namely the ability to scan items and levels in using the e-Reader add-on. You can read in items from Super Mario World (like the cape), levels from other Mario games, and other cool stuff. The only drawback here is that you need two GBA systems and a link cable, since there's no way to have the SMB3 cartridge inserted while also using the e-Reader. Definitely not a convenient feature, but a cool one nonetheless if you have the tools to do it. And the stuff you scan in is saved to the cartridge for later use.

This fourth Mario Advance game also includes the now-tired rendition of the original Mario Bros. arcade game. Lord knows why Nintendo feels this is worth including with every game - a little variety would be nice! It's there if you want it, but it's nothing to write home about.

Anyway, the final word on Super Mario Advance 4 is this: Mario Bros. 3 is still a blast to play, and I believe it deserves a place in the collections of both Mario newbies and veteran Nintendophiles alike. This is platform gaming at its finest, folks. Don't miss it!

ITS GREAT!

I love it!
It is packed with lots of cool levels and it is really fun to play.
I think flying and hitting the monsters would be my favourite part of the game. It is challenging in places but it never gets boring.
You should buy it and try it for your self.

Nintendo Remakes a Great Game...

...but fails to do it in an easy-to-remember manner. They atarted out with a remake of Super Mario 2. Then Super Mario World. Then Yoshi's Island. Now the Third one comes out as a Remake as the Fourth GBA game. Confusing, eh?

As much as I despise the title, I love this game. The sounds and graphics are improved, and the overall gameplay is pleasing... although I had a lot of trouble saving the game... but otherwise, it's a great buy that any Mario Fan should own.

The best of the Mario games

Super Mario Advance 4 bundles together Mario Brothers and Super Mario Brothers 3. As Mario Brothers has already been released repeatedly on the Game boy, Super Mario Brothers 3 is the real draw. And what a game it is.

Super Mario Brothers 3 was originally released for the NES in the early 1990s. It went back to the original Super Mario Brothers side-scrolling formula, and added a great deal. It's all perfectly recreated here, with improved graphics and sound (save for the "voice acting," which is unnecessary but not a true hindrance). The game is expansive, with a lot of different suits and many different options. The world map and warp whistles allow you to hop from one stage to another quickly, or you can play through the whole thing, possibly discovering things that got missed in the original.

The availability of a save feature is the big draw here. The original game didn't have one, and so it was usually necessary to warp past worlds if you wanted to win the game. Now, you can take your time and enjoy the variety and fun of every stage, although you can still warp past ones you'd prefer to avoid. In all the franchise, there is no better Mario game than Super Mario Brothers 3. It's a thrill to have it back, even if it's on a smaller screen.

Nostalgic

I'm sure, like many of the reviewers here, my first introduction to this game was on a TV screen with the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is as much fun now as it was then. To those experiencing this game for the first time, (and I know this may make me sound old) you had to be there. At the time, this was the best there was. That may not sound like much now, but you will be saying that yourself in 10 to 15 years about your favorite game that is in retro like this one. While this is not as fun as the "original" Super Mario Brothers, this is still a good play.
A couple reviewers have stated this is a "hard" game. Um, the game is not supposed to be easy. It is supposed to challenge you. Deal with it. For me, half the fun is working to beat it. I've had the GBA version of the game for all of 48 hours now, am currently on World 2, and have lost many lives, but am having the time of my life. Yes, some of it is the nostalgia factor, but more of it is the fact that I never actually beat the game when I was younger. So the game shall be beat and the game will like it.
As far as I remember, this is the same as the NES with maybe slight revisions to the background. LOL I can't check it out because my NES doesn't work anymore. :-( But if you are into straight-forward gaming, or just want a good old-school game, pick this up and enjoy.

BEST....GAME...EVER
