Nintendo launched the Game Boy Advance in 2001 with a remake of Super Mario Bros. 2, the Western sequel adapted from Doki Doki Panic. Super Mario Advance uses the 16-bit look from Super Mario All-Stars and lets you pick Mario, Luigi, Toad or Peach for each level of the dream world of Subcon, where you pluck vegetables and throw them at Shy Guys to defeat Wart.
The remake adds more than voice clips. Giant vegetables and oversized enemies appear, five Ace Coins are hidden in each level, and Robirdo, a robotic Birdo, appears as a new boss. Clearing the game unlocks a Yoshi egg challenge for extra replay. The four heroes still play differently: Luigi jumps the highest, Peach floats, Toad pulls items quickest and Mario is balanced. Like every Super Mario Advance game, it includes an update of the arcade game Mario Bros. that supports link-cable multiplayer.
Tips for Super Mario Advance
Pick Peach for wide gaps; holding jump makes her float for a short time.
Throw a potion to open a door into Subspace, where coins and sometimes a mushroom are hidden.
Throwing a POW block or a giant vegetable can clear many enemies at once.
