Product Description
On vacation in Dinosaur Land, Mario and Luigi get word of Bowser-brewed distress afoot. With help from Yoshi, the helpful small dinosaur who joins them for the first time, they set out to save Princess Peach from the Koopa King. They’ll have their work cut out for them as they travel owing to nine huge worlds to hunt down Bowser and his evil Koopalings: Wendy O., Iggy, Larry, Ludwig Von, Lemmy, Morton Jr., and Roy.

By the side of the way, Mario and Luigi will ride Yoshi, search for P-Switches, find secret paths, blast fireballs and soar into the skies with the help of the Cape. Their quest won’t be simple: Dino Rhino, Chargin’ Chuck and a host of unforgettable enemies await in one of the Mario Bros. largest and most challenging adventures ever!

Note: All 96 levels from the original Super NES game are included, from the eerie Forest of Illusion to super-tough Star Road and powered-up Special World! Also includes the classic Mario Bros. arcade game! You can team up and work together or jump into a battle with up to four players! It’s also compatible with Super Mario Advance for release or multi-pak four-player action.Amazon.com Review
Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo sits at or near the top of most “best video sports meeting” lists for a reason. At the time of its release, it was a dramatic evolution of the side-scrolling Mario series of action-adventure sports meeting, incorporating every gameplay element that worked in the grown-up titles while adding a seemingly endless supply of new tricks. This new feature-complete version of Super Mario World for the Game Boy Advance proves just how timeless designer Shigeru Miyamoto’s 1991 classic really is.

In right Miyamoto fashion, the game starts with unadorned running and jumping and gradually gets more complex. Soon, you’re swimming, flying, tossing fireballs, and riding one of several Yoshis–cute small dinosaurs–that appear throughout the game. The by and large level design has yet to be exceeded in a 2-D platformer, with each colorful level packed with enough secrets to keep players busy for weeks. A lot of precision jumping is required, but the controls are so tight that directing Mario (or even Luigi, who wasn’t playable in the original) becomes as natural as breathing within a few minutes of playing.

As if packing the entire original game onto the tiny cartridge wasn’t enough, Nintendo also place two multiplayer versions of the original Mario Brothers in there, which are playable solo or with up to three other people using Game Link cables to connect all your Game Boy Advance systems. Both variants are a blast, but the release-player adventure is what kept us coming back for more. If you missed it 10 years ago when Super Mario World appeared on the Super Nintendo, don’t make the same mistake twice. –T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

  • The game is very replayable thanks to multiple level exits
  • Surgically precise controls
  • Outstanding level designs that never get ancient

Cons:

  • Speech effects that were added for Mario and Luigi get ancient quick

Amazon.com Product Description
Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 boasts all 96 levels from the original Super NES game, from uplifting Yoshi’s Island owing to the sprawling Vanilla Dome to the grueling Star Road. While some levels emphasize pure action, others require you to puzzle your way out of the mazes and illusions. If you find the hidden key in Star World, you’ll gain access to the extremely challenging Special World, which has its own hidden secrets.

Mario and Luigi can jump up and down pipes, climb vines, swim, and toss Koopa shells. Yoshi the dinosaur can spit eggs, munch, and climb with his ever-helpful tongue. Cool touches include spinning platforms, mandatory-scrolling levels, and splendid attacks such as the spin jump. Mario and Yoshi glide with the aid of a unique feather, shoot fireballs when equipped with a special flower, and can even raise cute baby Yoshis. Each boss poses a unique challenge. Cross-eyed Lemmy Koopa likes to play hide-and-seek in pipes, while Iggy Koopa prefers to battle on a giant Koopa shell floating on a lava lake.

Pokemon Sapphire

Pokemon Sapphire

  • Start out with just 3 Pokemon, and travel across Hoenn to earn badges in 8 different gyms
  • Over 350 new Pokemon are here to battle with, collect and trade
  • New battle system allows trainers to take two Pok mon into battle instead of just one at a time
  • As you play you’ll open up fun and exciting mini-sports meeting that advance the storyline
  • You’ll have to become a hero by helping Team Magma stop Team Aqua from flooding the world for control of the water Pokemon!

Product Description
Pokemon Sapphire takes you into an immersive and more exciting new adventure as you travel and train to become a Pokemon master! You’ll have to become a hero by helping Team Magma stop Team Aqua from flooding the world for control of the water Pokemon! Special features like connectivity with future GameCube sports meeting Link cable support for up to 4 players Supports e-Reader Only for Game Boy AdvanceAmazon.com
Pokémon Sapphire’s updated graphics with weather effects, incredible sound, more than 200 Pokémon with over 100 new species–as well as its faithful adherence to the existing series of Pokémon sports meeting–makes for a welcome evolution in the series.

First, the game has a lot in common with Pokémon sports meeting Silver, Gold, and Crystal. For example, players can choose to be a boy or a girl trainer, an internal timer sets events at certain times, and the game’s handy-dandy Pokédex helps players keep track of the many stats. You’re main goal is still to beat all the Gym Trainers and become the Pokémon Master. If you’ve played the ancient sports meeting, you will be right at home. But not all is the same.

The most obvious change is in the battles themselves. Now that two Pokémon can fight on your side at the same time, you can tag-team them against an enemy by taking advantage of the strengths of your Pokémons while covering their weaknesses. For example, you can now have a water Pokémon watch your fire Pokémon’s back. You can also attack more than one Pokémon at a time.

A whole new element to the game focuses on how berries are used in battle. And if you collect enough berries, you can take them to a Berry Blender and make a PokéBlock, which is a small super-charged sweetie that raises your Pokémon’s “Condition” attributes. You can then groom your Pokémon for regional contests and compete for ribbons like “Best of Show,” which will unlock additional contests. There’s even approach in how to best use your berries: pick too many and the berry tree will disappear; plant berries, though, and a tree will grow. You can also build a Secret Base in special areas of the game, which you can decorate just like you can your room.

And let us not forget that Pokémon Sapphire has a kickin’ multiplayer system, too. You can trade Pokémon, and link up to four players for incredible battles. The only downside is that you can’t link up with the ancient Game Boy Affect sports meeting. –Bryan Karsh

Pros:

  • You can control two Pokémon in battle
  • Much needed graphic and sound facelift
  • Nice multiplayer feature (requires link cable and extra game cartridge)

Cons:

  • Can’t trade Pokémon with Game Boy Affect
