Super Mario Advance 3 brings Yoshi's Island, the 1995 Super NES prequel in which Yoshis carry Baby Mario across their island to rescue his brother from Kamek and Baby Bowser, to the Game Boy Advance in 2002. Its crayon-drawn look, created by Nintendo EAD, survives the move almost intact.
The game is built around Yoshi's own moves: flutter jumps, ground pounds, swallowing enemies and turning them into eggs to throw at targets. Getting hit sends Baby Mario floating away in a bubble while a timer counts down, and his crying is a well-known part of the experience. This port adds six new levels and makes small adjustments to fit the smaller screen. Some of the SNES version's Super FX effects are recreated in software. The scoring system, collecting stars, red coins and flowers for a perfect 100 in each level, still offers serious challenge for completionists.
Tips for Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Hold jump after leaving a ledge to flutter jump and cross wider gaps.
Keep eggs in stock by swallowing enemies; they are needed for switches, clouds and bosses.
Red coins look almost like normal coins, so check carefully if you want a perfect score.
