  • Summary: Mario hasn't even had a chance to savor his victory in the original Super Mario Advance, and already he's back for more in Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2.

Once again, Princess Peach has been kidnapped by the ever-diabolical Bowser, and Mario and Luigi set out on a massive adventure to rescue her. As either Mario or Luigi, you'll solve puzzles, shoot fireballs, fly, and discover the hidden secrets in Dinosaur Island.… Expand

    With even more improvements made over the near-perfect SNES game, Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 deserves the highest honors.

    If you haven't already, go out and buy it now! It's an instantly classic redefinition of an already classic title from the Golden Age of gaming.

    It's a must-have for the Game Boy Advance, and proof positive that great game design transcends technology and time.

    SMW:SMA2 doesn't push the GBA by any means, it certainly doesn't matter in this case.

    A remake of a Masterpiece. Super Mario world is one of the best games of all time.

    It's a nice port of the best game of all time. While they didn't add anything significant, it's still the best game of all time.

    Immersion is what you'll find in this spectacular game of Super Mario World. I have played both the Super Nintendo version and the Gameboy Advance port as a child and this game has aged well; the Gameboy Advance version has shown improvement in graphics from the SNES. Like every Mario game, there are barley any story elements. Controls feel right during gameplay from beginning to end. The soundtrack has its moments in specific parts of the game. This game has a variety of game level deign and enemies, so you won't see anything repetitive in this game. The length of gameplay is up to you, whether you want to complete all levels, including every secret finishes and collecting every special objects called Dragon Coins; total completion are from 10-15 hours max. This game is great and I recommend it to those interested in retro games and in the Mario games in general.… Expand
