Super Mario Advance 2

"As nice as it would be to see a proper purpose-built Mario game on the GameBoy Advance, in its absence Super Mario World is the best we could have hoped for. And very, very enjoyable it is too."

"Those who enjoyed an inkling of SMA or this title's antecedent on the SNES platform, should not walk, but run to their nearest entertainment outlet to grab this gem. It's also a great exercise to introduce a younger generation to the title's charisma and instruct them of a time when gameplay was the only factor that really mattered."

"Unlike the conversion of Super Mario Bros. 2 to the Game Boy Advance, it doesn't look like Super Mario Advance 2 will alter the near perfection of Super Mario World...the graphics, sound, and level design will remain relatively untouched from its Super NES form."

"One of the best platformers ever developed is still a fantastic game, especially on the GBA hardware."

"...I can overlook the bad, because the main adventure is just so darn good. Even though it takes a simple weekend to finish the game, you haven't beaten it until you've opened all 96 levels...the game has so much challenge and replay value because of all the hidden treats."
