Super Mario World was the Super NES's launch showpiece, and this 2001 Game Boy Advance version put all of Dinosaur Land in a pocket. The layout is the one players remember: the overworld map, Yoshi and his colored variants, the Cape Feather, switch palaces, and the secret exits that branch into the Star Road and the Special Zone.
The port does make its own changes. Luigi is selectable in single-player and now handles differently from Mario, jumping higher and floating more, much like his Super Mario Bros. 2 counterpart. Mario and Luigi gain voice clips, the game tracks your Dragon Coin collection per level, and the screen is cropped to fit the GBA's lower resolution, which slightly reduces how far ahead you can see. As with the rest of the Super Mario Advance series, a version of the Mario Bros. arcade game is included as a bonus.
Tips for Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2
Keyholes in levels marked with a red dot on the map lead to secret exits and new routes, including the Star Road.
With the Cape, run to build speed, jump, and hold back to glide; tapping back at the right moment keeps you airborne.
Visit the colored switch palaces early; they turn dotted outlines into solid blocks that make later stages much easier.
