Gameplay
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 retains the original game's gameplay. The game is a 2D side-scrolling platformer, where the player controls either Mario or Luigi as they guide him through the level. The goal of the game is to get to the end of each level (eight of which are in one world). After completing a level, the player can move on to the next level, and at the end of the world, the player has to fight one of Bowser's Koopalings. Along the way, however, there are many other baddies to contend with; Koopas and Goombas to name a few.
To help him on his quest, Mario has a variety of power-ups (many of which were introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3). With series' regulars like the Super Mushroom (grows Mario in size), Fire Flower (gives Mario the ability to throw fireballs), and Starman (grants Mario temporary invincibility), there are other power-ups such as the Super Leaf (gives Mario the ability to fly), Tanooki Suit (gives Mario the ability to fly and the ability to turn into a statue), Frog Suit (Mario is much faster at swimming underwater), Hammer Suit (Mario can throw hammers, much like a Hammer Bros.), and Kuribo's Shoe (Mario can jump around in a large shoe--even jumping on spikes--crushing those who stand in his way).
Also included on the cartridge is a remake of the arcade and NES classic Mario Bros. It does have multiplayer support for up to four players (although all four have to have a separate cartridge).
Super Mario Advance 4 is the Game Boy Advance remake of Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES.
Overview
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 was a Game Boy Advance enhanced port of the NES game Super Mario Bros. 3. Super Mario Advance 4 was released in 2003, with several enhancements--mostly graphical. The gameplay of the NES version is retained, with minimal to no changes. One of the biggest new features was the game's e-Reader connectivity (two different releases of the game were packaged with two and seven e-Reader cards, respectively). By using these e-Reader cards, the player can unlock new levels and items. Super Mario Advance 4 was well-received among critics, who praised the game's classic gameplay and updated graphics.Gameplay
