Another review by IB122 and the game this time is on Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. This game is a remake of he hit classic game, Super Mario Bros. 3 from the NES and the SNES (All-Stars) versions all fitted into a handheld system known as the Game Boy Advance and this game has got a little bit of a twist with a lot of brand new features added all into this game, which I will mention all below in the main review. This game is the 4th game in the Super Mario Advance series and more in likely the best one in that one series which comes to the conclusion to the saying "Saving the Best for Last" and they really live up that quote with this one game right here. Also, like the other Super Mario Advance games, you can also play a really famous classic game which I will mention in the review below as well.
Ok, with the intro all talked out and let's move on with this big review, show we.

The Graphics:

The Graphics are quite similar to the All-Star version of Super Mario Bros. 3 on the SNES, but this game that scaled down to the Game Boy Advance is a outstanding job and possibly to my opinion the best for the Game Boy Advance, and I got to say why I think so, by looking at some of the worlds and levels, I think personally that they're very outstanding and all well done, to be honest, I think Nintendo did an amazing job on this remake for the GBA, the graphics are exactly like we see in the SNES version, no flaws, no glitches, no miscolors, it's all perfect, and I just like that a whole lot, and also it's not just the environment I'm talking about, it's also all the character spites and all the blocks in the game as well and also to my point of view, with the graphic layouts in this game, like I said, it might be the best that Nintendo has came up with for the Game Boy Advance.

Ok, with that said for the graphics, I'm going to give the graphic sector of this game a perfect 10 out of 10, I just really like on how the graphics turned out in this game, it's just amazing

----

The Sound/Music:

The Sound effects in this game is also quite impressive as well, it does bring back the sounds we heard from the All-Star SNES version, which give it that classic sounding, with all the jumping, destroying blocks, defeating enemies, using power-ups and everything else from that game, and also to add in this game as well is the character voices which is very awesome feature in not just this game, but in the other Advance games and future games as well, which I think adding voices into the game is a really smart feature to add in as well, a pretty nice job. For the Music, it all came from the SNES version, but more of a remix feel to it as well i each of those levels and I think the music in this game to my opinion is the best one in Super Mario Bros. 3, and why I say that, just listening to the music I think makes the player really enjoy each of the levels their playing, giving it a more of a vibe for them to get through the whole game all the way to them defeating Bowser which to my though is a nice tune to the whole Music sector, and not just the music, but the Sound effects as well, and also, I think the music is very appropriate for the Game Boy Advance, because on how it's played with a slightly higher tone than on the SNES version. Without much I think the sound and Music has impacted this game to a certain extent.

I do got to say that for the Game Boy Advance, it's a fantastic job, I'm going to give this a perfect 10 out of 10

----

The Addiction Level:

With the addiction level in this one game is just fantastic, I think personally that it is, the reason why I think so, it's playing Super Mario Bros. on to-go so you can take your Super Mario Bros. 3 adventures on the road, and you know how addicting Super Mario Bros, 3 is on the NES and the SNES (All-Stars) happens to be and with this game. Also, how much of a fan I am with the game Super Mario Bros. 3, I got to say with Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, I don't have to play this on my television while playing it on the NES or the SNES (Playing Super Mario All-Stars), if I feel like playing this while I'm away from my television, as long I got a Game Boy Advance with me and I have this game, all I have to do it just put the game in and just play Super Mario Bros. 3 without using the T.V. and it's not just me that thinks this, a whole lot of other people likes this as will and I think that's also what makes this game really addicting, with all you can do (I'll mention in the Depths below) and how much you like this game I think personally think is what makes this one gave really addicting.

With all I said, I'm going to go ahead and give the addiction level of this game a perfect 10 out of 10 because of how addicting this one game on the Game Boy Advance can possibly be because you're playing Siper Mario Bros. 3 on the road.

----

The Story:

The story in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 for the GBA is a little bit different than from the NES/SNES version, the typical Mario story of where Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach and Mario has to go save her doesn't kick in until the last world of the game, the difference from this game and other Mario games, the king of that castle has been transformed into a certain creature, and in the NES/SNES versions, we didn't see on who's fully responsible, but now in the GBA version of the game, we now see who's responsible and it's the Koopalings that turned the kings into those creatures (although a couple people may already know before the NES/SNES release and you got to get the wand back to change the king back to their normal selves, and then while Mario is distracted with getting the kings back to their normal selves, that is when Bowser has kidnap Princess Peach and Mario didn't realized it until after he taken care with the final king of the world and you have to go in the final world to face Bowser once again and save Princess Peach. As for the rest of the story in Super Mario Advance 4 hasn't much changed than from the NES/SNES versions, it stays the same for the most of the game, just with a lot more added into the NES/SNES story of Super Mario Bros. 3.

For the story, because this being a remake story for the GBA, but with a whole lot more added on into the main storylike, I will give the story in this game a 8 out of 10

----

The Depth:

I think with the Depth of this game, I surly say that this game sure has a whole lot to offer, with all the different levels you have in this one game, like all the stuff you can do from Super Mario Bros. 3 from the NES and SNES versions like all the different kinds of Power-ups in the game like the Super Mushroom, the Fire-Flower, The Super Leaf and just to name a few, and with all the bonus content and all the different paths you can also take in this game as well, with every one of those alternative paths you can take can have a number of goodies in them as well including a lot of bonus levels and who knows what else you can maybe find as well, and also exclusively in this game, you also have a World e area as well, I know how that'll work, but I think you need to own a GBA for real to have that to work though, so I think just on here, it's more of a waste of a world (but I'm not complaining though). Also, like in other Super Mario Advance games, this game also gives you a chance to play the classic Mario Bros. game as well so it'll give the player an experience of playing that classic game with the newer graphics of the GBA which to my point of view is also another fun thing to play as well

All that said about the Depth of the game, I'm going to go on and going to give this a 9 out of 10, it's a game that has a whole lot to offer and it's contents are quite amazing and that is why I gave this a really high rating for this one game, pretty nice.

----

The Difficulty/Gameplay:

(Starting in this review, I'm going to add in the gameplay to the difficulty)

For the difficulty in this game, it's really not that bad, really, mostly if you know what're doing in the NES or SNES version, you mostly know on what you're doing, but if you haven't played the NES nor the SNES version of this game, then this game can be a little bit more difficult to play, with this game like every other game, it'll start out really easy, but the later levels you go through, they tend to get much more harder and harder and with World 8 being the hardest level in the game, and with a ton of enemies, they can sometimes be extremely easy, so some enemies becoming nearly impossible to delete and for each of the bosses at the end of the world, some can be quite easy while others that'll take a lot of tries and each time you fail, you have to chase after the ship in the world, but hat's mostly all with the whole difficulty. As for the gameplay, I think the controls of the game is quite nice though, they ain't a whole lot confusing, although this being a Game Boy Advance, and we got two less buttons than on the SNES, but that doesn't really matter because Super Mario Bros. 3 started on the NES and the NES has the same number of buttons as on the GBA, so in a way, that's really beneficial though, so mostly if you know the controls on the Nintendo Entertainment System, then you know the controls for the Game Boy Advance mostly, That's mostly all I got to say regarding the Difficulty and the Gameplay on this game.

With all I got to say regarding the Difficulty and the Gameplay in this game, it's pretty easy once you're used to it, because they're mostly similar to the NES version, mostly in a GBA with SNES version graphics, so I'm going to give this a 7 out of 10.

----

Overall:

Overall in this game, I do got to say it's a really huge accomplishment for the Game Boy Advance and this being the final installment in the Super Mario Advance series, they really saved the best for last and I think the stuff I mentioned above like the Graphics and the Sound and Music all came out pretty great for the Game Boy Advance and that's why they're both 10s, and also for the addiction level on how much I described this game as playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on the road which is going to make a really addicting game. The story I mentioned, it's pretty self-explanatory, Bowser kidnaps Peach while Mario is distracted with the Kings. and in the Depth, I mentioned that this game's got a whole lot, and this game isn't that much difficult like I mentioned. For my final thoughts on this game, I do have to say, this is a highly successful game in the Game Boy Advance system, and with it's contents, it's a really nice game to try out if you want to give it a shot, if you own a GBA (or just want to get it on here), I do 100% recommend this game if you happen to be, one, own a GBA, and two, really love Super Mario Bros. 3. That is all I got to say about this game.

Overall if I have to rank this game I will give this game a 9.5 out of 10, the reason I rank it that high because it is a really great game with a whole lot of effort put into this one game for a handheld system and that is a really high success for Nintendo to have for this game and that is a pretty nice job they made by putting Super Mario Bros. 3 all into this handheld system., and that's all I got to say for this review, and this was a pretty long review.

Another review by IB122 and the game this time is on Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.

sonic2boom : I see you agree, but I'm not really sure on what you agree on, just posting two words is a little spammy, just explain what you mostly agree on in the review.
