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.

Great game, just would not buy from seller again
I love the game, bought from sellers used. In bad shape though. Won't even save more than one game at a time. After a couple of months of having the game more parts of the game is missing up. Upset that I wasted my money buying used from seller.

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.

Just like the old version, only better.
I loved this game when it first came out, it was my favorite. I just got this newer version and the graphics and everything make it so much more fun.

Super Mario bro.s 3
I purchased this gaem for my 8 yr. old daughters birthday. She loves it! She and my 12 yr. old fight over whose turn it is to play the game.
