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."

"...if you’ve played this game before, or never heard of it, Super Mario Advance 2 is one of the best 2D side scrolling games on any portable."

"The game holds up fabulously, and the slight modifications that Nintendo has made to the game for its handheld release make it even better."

"This game is as good as a platformer as we'll ever see. However, it's time that the Nintendo brain trust hits us with something new with the same level of quality."
