Super Mario Advance for Game Boy Advance

Pros: It's Mario 2 on a Portable System!
Cons: Voice Overs!

How many people have ever played Mario bros. 2? Almost everyone? That's what I thought. Almost everyone loved Mario 2, even if it didn't seem like any other Mario game. There was a reason why it was so different though, Mario 2 actually began as a game...

Pros: It's Mario 2
Cons: Not enough additions

"Where would Nintendo be without the likes of our portly Italian plumber? Where would gaming itself be without the fun loving antics of the Princess our stocky mushroom friend? Nintendo has coined a legacy, and it continues; like it or not."...

Pros: Graphics, I Suppose It'd Be A Good Paperweight
Cons: Horrible Synthed Voices, Not Fun,

This is a long overdue review for the Nintendo Writeoff, truth is, I forgot about it in the midst of the other reviews I had written. Sorry to the person who started the W/O, but here's my LONG overdue review.


I have grown to hate...

Pros: Simple gameplay, nice graphics and sound, challenging, extra characters
Cons: A bit more difficult than previous Mario games

"Ho hum, time to crank out another carnation of Mario, since we are releasing a new gaming system. I wonder what we can throw out there to them this time?"

This is what I am convinced that the "big brains" at Nintendo must be thinking every...

Pros: Good graphics, excellent background music
Cons: It's still just Super Mario 2, and a screwed up version at that...

There are certain things that one can count on in this world. Summer will follow Spring. 42 is the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything. And with every new Nintendo system, there will be a new Mario game.

Super...

Pros: Still the most different of the series, very clean graphics and controls
Cons: Digitized voices, updates don't quite sit right with me

Every single gamer has at least a small handful of games that he remembers better than any other, for any number of reasons. One of these games for me is Super Mario Bros. 2. I was once told, a long time ago, that you aren't good at all at video games...

Pros: It's mario on the go in 16-bit glory, new animations and effects
Cons: It's mario...but why 2? Useless voices

It's not a shock to see Mario once again brace his mug on the gba screen, but question is, why Mario 2!? Those who have even played the NES (or SNES all-stars version) will find it to the be the weakest one out of the entire Mario series. Reason probably...

Pros: Fun, straightforward, and simple games. A very good bargain.
Cons: It’s a rehash, so if you’ve played them before – don’t bother.

Yes, once again, Nintendo is re-releasing old games in the hopes of making a fast (and easy) buck or two. But wait, keep on reading!

Super Mario Advanced actually consists of two old platform games: Super Mario 2 (originally for...

Pros: Nicer, Updated Graphics, Same Old Great Super Mario 2
Cons: Annoying Voices, Been There, Done That

I think most of us gamers can remember where we were at when we first played Super Mario 2. I can remember I was over at a friend’s house, spending the night for the weekend, and the lucky punk had just gotten his hands on this much-anticipated...

Pros: better graphics then in all stars
Cons: digitized voices, woulden't have minded orginal game

All right Super Mario Advance contains two games the American version of Super Mario bros 2 (i'll explain later why I said American version) and the original Mario bros. arcade game. So you got two great classic games in one collection is has good has it...

Pros: an almost perfect translation of Super Mario Bros. 2; Mario Bros. arcade
Cons: screen too dark at times, a bit easy for some, SMB2?? Why not SMB3?

I think there's a law somewhere in Washington that says that a Nintendo console cannot launch without a Mario game. OK, OK, so the original Gameboy launched with Tetris instead, but every other Nintendo console has launched with a Mario game of some...

Pros: Still fun; two games in one; multiplayer is cool.
Cons: Not changed much;

Some people say they didn't like Super Mario 2 as well as the other Mario games because it was so different. Well, that's the same reason I like it so much. It gives you a completely different playing experience than any of the other games....

Pros: The Same Great fun portrayed in the original Super Mario 2.
Cons: Easier than the original, not for people who have played Super Mario 2.

Hell yeah! The Nintendo Gameboy Advanced is out ready to take on its own grandfather in the portable console market. However, like the Nintendo 64, Nintendo first, has to go through a certain phase that I will like to call “the sequel...

Pros: Great Graphics, Game play, Sounds, and new Characters to choose from
Cons: Harder than the previous installations in the Mario Series

Super Mario Advance, like the Gameboy, has been around and has seen numerous changes and advances. Mario has been Nintendo’s trademark game and in the case of the Gameboy Advance, is the game to get. I bought it with the GBA and feel that it’s...

Pros: Plays just like the original, lots of fun
Cons: Identical to the original, really annoying voices

When I purchased my Game Boy Advance, I also picked up several of the popular launch titles, on of which was Super Mario Advance. Being a long-time video game player, I have played the original version of Super Mario Brothers 2 on the NES back in 1988,...
