Super Mario Bros. 3 made its handheld debut with this 2003 Game Boy Advance release, the last of the Super Mario Advance line. It is based on the remade graphics from Super Mario All-Stars rather than the original NES pixels, and it adds voice clips for Mario and Luigi, a save system and adjustments for the smaller screen.
The real novelty was the e-Reader. Collectible cards could be scanned with Nintendo's e-Reader accessory to add new levels in an extra World-e, along with power-ups and demo videos, some featuring items and ideas not seen in the NES game. As with every Super Mario Advance cartridge, the original Mario Bros. arcade game is included as a bonus. The core game remains the same: eight themed worlds, a map you move across between levels, airships, the Koopalings, and power-ups like the Super Leaf, Frog Suit and Tanooki Suit.

In World 1-3, stand on the large white block and hold down for a few seconds to drop behind the scenery and reach a Warp Whistle at the end.
With the Super Leaf, run until the P-meter fills, then tap jump repeatedly to fly over obstacles.
Save rare items like the P-Wing for hard airship or fortress levels.
