Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3 Reviews
In 1990 Nintendo released "Super Mario Bros. 3" for the original NES system, and it was hailed as the most commercially successful video game of its time. In 2003, a remake was translated from the Super NES title "Mario All-Stars" to the Game Boy Advance's "Mario Advance" series and it still sells at GameStop for $25. I shelled out half as much for a copy elsewhere and I never looked back.
Aside from the fact that you don't have to beat the game in one sitting with what is otherwise a limited power source, you can win power-ups from minigames before you play through a level. As with every Mario Advance title, SMA4 includes a remake of the classic Mario Bros. arcade game. New copies of the game also include special 'level cards' with bonus content for use with Nintendo's short-lived e-Reader device. While this captures the look and feel of the original SMB3 game, it's not a completely faithful remake; the music's that made me dance along as a kid is slightly toned down. Otherwise, the updated graphics are pleasing to the eye, the gameplay still excites (and frustrates) the player and the added voiceovers are "just what I needed."
This game is rated E for Everyone: Violence.
This product didn't come with anything but the game cartridge, but thats alright I remembered how to play. I couldn't put the game down. It was the best money I have ever spent.
I never got the Super Mario Bro games. This is no exception. I do not like it. After an hour of trying to beat level two I gave up.
Wowie, Wow, Wow, Wow! Super Mario3 is just great fun for the entire family!
As a kid, I was 6 when this great classic originally made its debut. Even then, I saw the vast improvement in graphics that was made through the life of the "Mario" games. Of those, Mario 3 took the spot of my favorite NES game and has held that spot since. Seeing this release for the GBA, once I had a system to play it on (N.DSLite), it was one that I *really* wanted. It certainly hasn't disappointed me in its nostalgic and classic sense. That the GBA title also includes the original arcade version of the Mario Bros. game (as previous Super Mario Advance titles), is also a nice bonus.
I have only one minor complaint. This complaint focuses around the saving feature. Although nice for a game with this kind of length, there are really two "types" of saves:
(1) A "hard" save: You are prompted by the game at "checkpoints" (castles) on if you wish to save or not. The "hard" saves can be loaded multiple times.
(2) A "soft" save: This is used when you wish to stop playing and use the "start" button to "Save & Quit". This "soft" save can only be loaded once to continue from where you saved.
This is different from the saving feature that is in "Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World", which treats all saves as "hard" saves. This is what I prefer as it allows saving immediately before entering any level. If you die, load and repeat. Not so for "Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario 3".
Overall, however, this title brings back a great set of classics of the NES. If you grew up playing the Mario games of the that system and the arcade game, "Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario 3" is a must buy.
