Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 is the fourth game in the Super Mario Advance series. It is a remake of Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES. The game also comes with the arcade game Mario Bros., which also has better graphics, and a more complex multi-player mode.
[edit] Changes from the Original
- Mario and Luigi are given voices
- The R button activates the e-Reader function
- The inventory window is significantly larger
- Temporary saving is provided. Afterward, the game will revert to the previous permanent save. Permanent saves come after completion of a fortress or world.
- It features more levels if you scan certain cards with the e-Reader
- Luigi retains his updated form and his Super Mario Bros. 2 ability.
- The mushroom houses now allow you to move and choose a box while the message is being displayed.
- The "Mario & Luigi" mode is now playable in single player through handheld, and the original multiplayer through the Gamecube. However, the Mario Bros. Easter egg that was possible when pressing A while in the same place as the other player has been removed, most likely due to the included remake of that game.
- Lives can now be transferred to Luigi from Mario and vice-versa, a la Super Mario World
- The sprites have been updated.
- The cards have been colorized and are now called "panels".
