- I talk about games such as the third sequel to Super Mario Advance, which is a handheld version of the Super Mario All-Stars on SNES version of Super Mario Bros. 2, the US version, for the NES which just so happens to be Super Mario Bros. 3, also the Super Mario All-Stars version of the NES game which is now the subtitle for Super Mario Advance 4.

I remember my 2nd grade teacher lent me a copy of super mario advance while I was on Christmas break, and the memories playing on the break I truly cherish.
That teacher sounds GOATed. Seriously, props to them.
Cheeseburger in yo ass
@@jimofthebmxclan7734Playing the game I’m guessing
That's something you don't hear everyday.
Sounds like a legend hope they got good students
Greatest named game of all time: Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3. Has the same ring as New Nintendo 2DS XL
If we want to super technical, Advance 3's full title should be Super Mario Advance 3: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
@@eviltables8510 rolls right off the tongue
That is some good competition to Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game.
Don't forget Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
@@eviltables8510If we want to be even more technical Advance 3's full title should be Super Mario Advance 3: Super Mario Bros. 4 Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
(SMW actually has the name SMB4 SMW in Japan)
I can definitely attest that younger kids had no idea that these were rereleases. I remember in elementary school seeing kids playing the first Mario Advance on the bus or playground and thinking what a cool and unique new take on Mario it was. It wasn't until my older cousin sold me their old Super Nintendo and their copies of Super Mario All-Star and Super Mario World that I realized that these actually rereleases of older games, and even then the little changes here and there still threw me for a loop.
I had an SNES with Mario World but not All Stars. I thought Mario on the NES was Mario 1, Mario World was Mario 2, and then Mario 3 was on the GBA.
Honestly the only reason I knew that Super Mario World on the GBA was a rerelease as a kid is because it's dad's favourite game and he would give me tips and tricks to help me get through it.
Basically exact same, when I opened up Mario all stars on an old system and saw half of my gameboy library I didn’t know what to believe anymore
@@JrIcify 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Going online and finding out that there were console versions of Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island was a mind-blowing experience for younger me.

If you thought Scott The Woz was a character then Scott Stash is the true nerd even more then The Woz!
The reason that some people don't like Yoshi's Island on GBA is because for a while, during the 3DS/Wii U generation, the GBA version was the only way to play Yoshi's Island on modern consoles, both with the 3DS ambassador program and the Wii U Virtual console, where the SNES version was not available but the GBA version was. The actual SNES version was never rereleased until the SNES classic in 2017.
It's basically the same game lol
I like how in Super Mario Advance, the intro starts off in the original Gameboy screen aspect ratio before zooming out into the GBA aspect ratio. It’s a cool detail.
I just don’t understand why the hell nintendo actually did that,all just to show little kids that playing on a gameboycolor was different ?
either way i found it just stupid, but you know what i also found stupid, why nintendo didn’t started with supermariobros 1 under the name supermario advance and then work it’s way up, why starting with supermariobros 2 under that name instead?
But at the other hand, had nintendo started with supermarioworld and then followed with supermariobros 2 and then mario 3 and end up with yoshi’s island as supermario advance 4, then we would,ve complain either,
But still there was no excuse not to have the snes port of supermariobros 1 on it and also no N64 port of yoshi story as supermario advance 6, yes i do know that the nes edition of supermariobros was on the GBA and yes i know that the supermariobros dx can be played on the GBA, heck there’re even some supermariobros 1 levels in e reader world of mario 3 on the GBA but still,
The way how nintendo messed up the supermario series on leaving out supermariobros 1 and yoshi story is no excuse for me🥲
Super Mario World and 3 were my first ever Mario's games on my Gameboy SP. I was 5, now I'm 23. Those two games will always be my top favorite Mario games of all time.
Glad to hear it’s not just us “old timers” who love these classic games. If for no other reason than to get later generations to love these games, that makes these releases great.
Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World was my first 2D Mario game on GBA, I got Mario Kart Super Circuit for Christmas with my GBA in like 2002/2003 which was my first Mario game on the system. I loved it and had to fight my brother to play it on car trips 😂
We had the same experience haha. Im turning 23 this year 😅
While 64 was my introduction to Mario, the advance series was what made me a fan of the series. The Mario 3 port was my first GBA game.
Same here.
As a kid who had no idea what an N64 was, I can confirm I had no idea 64DS was a port of an older game.
same 😂
same lmao. i'd look up how to get stars in some levels and leave utterly confused as to why it looked so different on youtube vs on my ds
I remember that I only really knew because my brother bought Mario 64 on the Wii VC
@@doorcruz I remember thinking i just had a really good ds, so my graphics were better then all the people online
Same, and I didn’t even question the name lol
7 year old me was like “ah 64, sure!”
Shout out to Super Mario Bros 3 Super Mario Advance 4 on WiiU for including everything from the E-Reader levels. Truly is still the best way to play the game
It's all there on Nintendo Switch Online as well
@@alexgalipeau6443 digitally renting a game on an overpriced paid service isn't owning it.
@@GribbleGob the original commenter talked about the best way to play it, nobody talked about if we owned it or not, go cry elsewhere
@@alexgalipeau6443 and the best way to play it isn't on a scam service. Sorry I don't listen to shills so take your rampant consumer mentality somewhere else.
Plus the Gamepad is absolutely PERFECT for the games
One of my most cherished gaming memories came from being absolutely dumbfounded as a kid when my older cousin showed me how to find a warp whistle in Super Mario Advance 4 at cookout. Of course, I didn’t know Super Mario Bros 3 was actually 15 years old at the time, so I had no idea she was just remembering a well-known secret in a game she had played as a kid, I thought she was just a wizard or something.
Haha, I love that.
One might even say you thought she was The Wizard
As someone who was born in 1989 and grew up with Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo, it is extremely cool to me that Scott, born in 1997, almost ten years after me, _also_ grew up with Super Mario World, but on the Game Boy Advance. As a long-time gamer, it is very encouraging to me to know that the games I grew up with could also inspire a whole other generation.
Regarding the storage space for the SMA4 e-Reader levels, there’s enough room to store everything released in America. Japan though, you’d need to delete and rescan to cycle through everything.
The GBA being small, portable, and can be used for hours was why my parents never got me one.
They thought that I would bring it to school and get distracted.
Bought one myself later and turns out they were right.
As someone who was a small kid that grew up with Mario 64 DS, yes, I had no idea it was an old game!
I had World and 3 growing up and they were a blast. So glad now to have them on GBA NSO so I can replay them for the nostalgia as well as have a go on 2 and Yoshi’s Island. Not to mention, the e-reader levels of 4.
GBA IMO is the best version of Mario 2.
I have them on Wii U, and I also own the first two physically.
Super Mario advance 4 was my child hood lol my first ever game on my GBA such a classic!
Super Mario Advance 4 was my first game of all time and also the best 2d Mario game of all time. I'm glad Nintendo released the rom with all the bonus levels on it since these never came out in Europe
Valid what would be ur first choice for best 2d mario game?
Similarly to Scott, I grew up with Super Mario World and Yoshi’s Island on the GBA. At first I didn’t realize that they were rereleases, but eventually I figured it out. My grandmother had a Super Nintendo (back in the day, she loved playing NES, and later got the SNES as a way to continue playing franchises she loved). I went over to her house and she had Super Mario World and Yoshi’s Island…but the original versions! It honestly gave us something to bond over. I have such fond memories of both of those games.
I had these games given to me by an older cousin when i was about 4. They were always so cool to me, something about looking at the cartridge and putting it in a GBA was so magical to me back then. I still kinda get that vibe now at 21.
Outside of kids growing up with these as their first impression of these games, there were also a bunch of 90s Sega Genesis kids who experienced these for the first time on the GBA. Great feature of some classics!
I grew up with Super Mario Advance 4 and it was by far my favorite Gameboy game. Like you said, I had no idea it was an older game until way later when I bought it on Wii Ware and it was the NES version and I was upset by how old and worse it was.
Super Mario Advance 2 is my preferred way to play World simply because of those added voice effects. I played that version as a kid and when I replayed it on Switch Online I was like “where are the sounds?”
Woo hoo! Just what I needed!
@@roflBeck LUACKY!
Oh, Mamma Mia!
I grew up with the originals, but I do see the greatness that are these releases. Definitely a great way for later generations to play without some old school purest telling you it is all wrong! For myself it is a great way to play my old favourites portability
i’m a ‘99 kid and i LOVED yoshi’s island on the gba and had no idea until embarrassingly recently that it wasn’t originally on that console. the graphics worked so well on a small screen and the aesthetic and sound design made such an impact on me.
Super Mario advance 4 is so goated. I used to play it all the time on my DS when my family and I used to go to the diner or long road. I'm still devastated that I lost both of those 😢.
I remember having the Deluxe Edition of Super Mario Bros as a kid and let me tell you it was a blast to play back then. To think that it played and looked exactly like the NES version of the game was insane to me back in the day and this game along with LOZ Oracle of Seasons and Pokémon Gold & Crystal are what defined my childhood at first glance.
I basically never comment on videos but, this is such a fantastic video Scott the commentary is amazing
This series was how I played Mario Bros 3 and its why I love that game to this day.
Playing Super Mario Advance on my cousin’s pink GBA is my earliest gaming memory. I never got very far but I thought the player select screen was so cool
SMB Deluxe was a huge part of my childhood. When I think of super Mario Bros that's the version I think of and I don't see it talked about a lot. It had a damn calendar!
There’s a fangame coming out based on that version, SMB Ultra Deluxe
@@supercamborg4218 yes, but sadly that fangame would not have a calender.
@@bekfstman9841 I mean it might
@@supercamborg4218 I actually asked the dev but he said he would probably not make the calender. Which is kinda sad imo
@@bekfstman9841 darn, oh well.
Mario 3 and World were easily my most played games on my GameBoy Advanced SP. Good times
Grew up with Advance 1 (smb2) and way later Advance 4 (smb3), I hold these ports very close to my heart ❤
Super Mario Advance was the reason why I discovered Super Mario Bros 2 when I was 7 years old back in 2001.
Literally, a game changer for me. It made me appreciate Mario more than anything else with my first Game Boy Advance.
Bless Nintendo for letting a newer generation of kids like me get deeper into one of the greatest gaming franchises of all time.
I think the Yoshi’s Island GBA hate comes from Nintendo not releasing the original for the longest time and only offering the GBA version. I think that hate has been passed down over time.
Hearing all the music from these games again while scott explains each of them with all of there unique features just hits with nostalgia :)
This was the video from Scott ive been waiting for!
bought a gba sp in may, only had mario bros 3 at first and it was great but I still havent took time to finish it, got pokemon leaf green and beat that after a long time getting every pokemon. Just bought yoshis island, checked to see if it worked, and holy crap it is the most stunned i've been at a games beauty just in the first cutscene, saving it for an upcoming 6 hour drive to london.
I genuinly cant wait to play yoshis island, did the first level and it feels great to play, is visually my favourite game ever, better than my ps5's graphics, genuinly, i've played a little bit on an emulator in the past and it looked like any other gba game, all games look better on my gba rather than emulated, but my lord yoshis island takes the cake
Mario Advance 4 was my christmas gift from my cousins, my brother got Superstar Saga, and even as a kid who knew that we already had the game at home, I was playing it on the go and was fun as hell!
In elementary school, I remember a single instance where I got to borrow someone’s GBA to play Donkey Kong Country 2. What Scott says is true, when you’re that young you don’t really register whether the game is a remake and I had a lot of fun with the first few levels. That was until I got to Krow’s Nest, my elementary self simply could not figure out how to beat Krow without dying.
Super Mario Advanced 1 is the best version of Mario 2, and 4 is the best version of Super Mario Bros 3
Why do so many people call it Advanced? It's Advance.
I find it so very interesting how nostalgia works in cycles. Hey, I'm a 80s kid so I've basically played the OG releases when they came out first. Still was amazed at the GBA ports in the early 2000s (playing the whole series on the go :O I mean we can probably all agree that if you like Mario games, they become infinitely replayable so that was fantastic).
I'm now in my late 30s and I get kind of this crossover nostalgia. On the one hand, I nostalgia hard about 80s/90s and 8/16bit. On the other hand I never stopped playing Nintendo handhelds in the 2000s. So when I hear about how people who were still kids have had similiar experiences and think back the same way about GBA as I do about OG GB (hey, I sneaked up late night under the cover gaming as well thanks to a light add-on :D)... it sometimes gives me a rush of shared childhood nostalgia for things which released during my 20s (GBA/Wii/DS basically).
Truth be told, even with adult responisibilies and a more or less functional day to day life, I sometimes still go under the blanket at half past 12 to get in "just another level or two" today. Since I didn't buy it originally at launch, I got myself Mario 64 DS just 2 years ago to kind of reexperience that feeling. That was during lockdown though, so maybe I wanted to have a feeling of security and familiarity. Which it provided. Great version, even without the N64 analogue controls.
Though sorry not sorry Yoshi's Island on GBA is a solid 8/10 while the OG is 10/10 :P But I appreciate both versions, I really just find the GBA version to be difficult to play because of the compromises in screen size. It has the extra stages and some QOL changes, I'll give it that (and it was my first time playing it on GBA since I missed out the SNES version).
Love this sub series of your TH-cam stuff, literally brightens my day when it pops up!
Whenever someone says anything about me being smart I just remind them that I own the Super Mario advanced 4 Super Mario Bros 3 and never even realize there were other games for years and years. At least high school if not after that.
The nostalgia that hit when I remembered the memories I had on Super Mario World on my Game Boy growing up. I’m sure I share this experience with countless people and I’m happy it’s getting covered on this channel
My first video game was SMA4 SMB3 and boy howdy that was a great experience. I was 3 years old when I got it, but somehow understood what the heck I was supposed to do. And to think that was the rabbit hole that led me to this site eventually.
Super mario 3 is a very important game to me. It was the first game I properly owned and the hours i spend playing it will forever hold a special place in my heart. It was my favorite game of all time up until a few months. If it weren't this version of the game i wouldn't be the person i am today.
Outta curiosity, what is that game that dethroned it?
@@meowmasterL346 xenoblade chronicles 3
I grew up with 4, I think I was one of the few kids to know it was an older game because I also grew up with my parents' SNES with games like All-Stars. Can confirm I had no idea that 64 DS was an older game tho.
Even if I owned a game like mario kart ds on my ds and wiiU I probably wouldnt have realised, I would have just thought it was cool that they made two versions, even though ds is in the name I would never have thought about it
Awesome recap of the advance era!!
I've been waiting for this one! Not sure if it's been done before but always going to watch especially when Scott is on the case!
I didn't even realize this was Scott until the end!! I love it. Were the same age (about) so i love the childhood context you bring in.
One of my favourite little details is how the gigaleak revealed voice clips of all of the characters saying "Super Mario Bros. Deluxe 2" and "Super Mario Bros. 2 Deluxe" as if they were early titles for Advance 1 and directly confirms it was conceptualised as the successor to Deluxe on the GBC. The best part is the first line was cut up to just read "Super Mario 2" in the final game and the splice is incredibly apparent.
That's freaking awesome. I love little behind-the-scenes trivia to why certain quirks are in a production lol
I had no idea these were old games until I was like 13. These were the games that got me into platforming. Nintendo really made a great job by us kids not know they were rerealeses.
[ʜᴇʏ👆ɪ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴀ ꜱᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ ꜰᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ
for almost 20 minutes you brought be back to a better time.. Thank you Scott
17:17 Great point on the different approach/framing of older games nowadays! The Switch retro libraries are good for cheaper preservation but the framing might make it unappealing to younger audiences since they're "old". Same thing happened to some of my friends with the games in Brawl's museum.
I played Mario on SNES at my parents’ drinking friends house when I was a kid. When I got my GBA SP, Super Mario World was one of my absolute favorites. Plus, having my own save meant I could get way further into the game.
Thanks for reminding everyone about the best handheld Mario games, Scott! 👍
Mario advance 4 is the first video game I remember playing followed by my mind being blown when my dad got the original on the Wii virtual console 8 years later.
Super mario bros 3 for the gba was the first ever game I played and I'm so happy I got off to a great start
Hey, I just want to say that I love how positive this content was.
I know you have a style and I appreciate the style in your main channel, but there's something great about seeing you just talk about something that you love while throwing a minimum of shade.
I like to think that Scott is laying down on his floor carpet while explaining all of this.
We all do
Super Mario Bros Deluxe held me over a few thousand miles on a road trip that year, and it had tons of extra content, not just the Lost Levels which is amazing they included it, but you had objects hidden in all the levels for you to go find, so it kept you playing, and you kept unlocking things. It even included that weird fortune teller thing and a calendar for some reason and stuff to print out with the gameboy printer that I didn't have. It really had alot more going on than just a port.
I love Scott having this second channel for whatever he wants to talk about
Because I will listen
Man you hit the nail on the head when you said "we can enjoy old Mario games without growimg up in the 90s". As a 96 born the gba was how I got introduced to classic Mario. I was aware I was playing NES and SNES classics until i got older. The gba was a great tool in getting us 2000s kids into 80s and 90s gaming
REEEE ITS ABOUT TIME I HAD SUPER MAIO WARLD ADVANCED THATS HOW I FIRST PLAYED IT I DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS A SNES VERSION OF ITTTT SCOTTTT
I grew up playing the nes mario games in elementary, so i was pretty happy to have the advance games come out in middle school
These games gave me such an amazing time on my ds lite while playing mario 64 ds, two years ago, i feel like these are games I'll always be able to just pick up and never be let down
Super Mario advance 2 & 3 were my breakthrough into gaming when I was 3 or 4, forever grateful for these games
Having been a Nintendo nerd from a young age, I was well aware that I was playing a portable version of the Super NES classic Super Mario World on my DS lite.
Also helped that I had Super Smash Bros. Brawl to tell me what platform so many games released on. First time I'd heard of a Game & Watch or a Virtual Boy.
This is random and I'm not making this up, but back in 2002, I got Yoshi's island on GBA and played it so much it broke! I has just beat bowser for the bajilianth time and the world map was doing the whole card flip jank showing my score for each level and the fucker froze! Never worked again! I to this day have no idea how it happened but damn. What a good game.
Man what a nostalgic rush this video was. Still have my copies of those from childhood, such classics 🤩
Just what I needed
I grew up on these games. I own SMB2, SMB3, and SMW in this format, and I have spent more time playing those games than probably any other I own. Thank you for covering these often overlooked pieces of gaming history, and thank you Nintendo, for raising me to be the game lover I am today.
*You are a super player!!*
Loved this
I’m glad you acknowledge Mario Deluxe because to me that is also the true beginnings of Mario HANDHELD remakes with “advancements”. If I’m not mistaken they actually modified a few platforms and enemy placements to attempt to make it fairer with the screen crunch!
Played Advance 1 and 4 so much as a kid, loved them a lot :)
I never grew up with these games but got them and a GBA SP when I was in my early teens (20 now) and loved them. And now I always play these versions since they're all on the Switch Online service
It took me years to figure out, Mario Advance was a re-release of super mario bros 2. Has a child, I sort of knew the other games were re-releases due to the titles or due to them having a bit of fame due to people talking about them, but because Mario Advanced lacked both of these things I thought it was a unique game for some reason.
Mario 3 GBA was my first video game I’ve ever played and I was obsessed with it. Accidentally getting the warp whistle in 1 - 3 is one of my favorite gaming memories.
I had Mario Advance and Tony Hawk 2 on release, and I was LOVING it.
It’s so fascinating to hear about Scott’s experience not knowing these were rereleases at the time. I guess me being born in ‘92 makes a big difference. And I had played a friend’s NES before plus I had a Nintendo Power subscription. I think the only one that tricked me at first was the first Super Mario Advance thanks to the title not even acknowledging SMB2’s existence.
i played smw at my grandmas...and not owning a super nintendo the gba was when i first got to own one of my favorite games and tho the same game the changes made them distinct from each other which was awesome ..so yea i got nostalgia for both versions and mad love for nintendo for these re releases!
I never understood these games.
And yet they have a charm when I firstly played them on NSO.
I've been waiting for this video. I grew up with these game; 2 and 4 specifically
this video is **just what i needed**
Back when SMB delux came out a kid on my school bus was playing it. I myself was 18 at the time already an first gen Nester. And he was 11 or 12. His first glimpes into the mushroom kingdom was that game. He loved it. He showed it to me, and i loved the extras. It was compatible to the GB printer and i really appreciated the extended retro art you had acess to.
I absolutely love every version of the Mario Bros arcade. Played the GBA version on Switch a lot recently
These were the versions of SMB2, SMW, and Yoshi's Island I grew up with and knew about, and they will be my favorites forever. So so so many hours playing at home or school or in the car with the shitty purple third party light accessory. The versions of the songs in these games are my favorite too. I never got SMA4 for some reason...
mario advance 4 was my very first video game and I still love it to this day
Same !
Playing through Super Mario World on the GBA is the reason why I got into environmental puzzle games like Myst and Riven. Figuring out how to get out of the woods to get to the other half of the game blew my mind as a kid.
I played “Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World” so much when I was 5 years old on a GBA SP I stole from my sister. it was one of my childhood Mario games, and I loved it. Good times
100% on the money with mario64 ds that was my first mario game I had as a kid and I had no idea it was a remake. To me it was just my favorite mario game and then when we got a wii the main games my dad put on there was virtual console stuff like mario 1 2 3 and ninja turtles and none of those games felt old to me they were just the wii games I had
Ill never forget being introduced to the Mario series through Yoshis Island and at the time as a kid, i thought there was a full timeline so i thought after playing all the Advanced games i was watching Mario grow up (until i discovered earlier titles) but i thought that was cool
World and island were also my two games. People like 3 but there is just something about world that keeps me coming back
The Mario Advance series was my introduction to Mario. I was a kid so I didn’t know about them being remakes. I had great memories and I understand people at the time wanted a new Mario game but it allowed others to be introduced to Mario. I still have super Mario 3. Now I’m looking to collect the rest to add to my collection.
This is what introduced me to Super Mario World. I played that for hours.
I was replaying the mainline Mario series on my Retroid Pocket 3 recently and the GBA remakes were my version of choice. Fits a 16:9 screen much better, works for a handheld better, and all the rich background and music and sound effects were all so much better while keeping the charm of the original. The character voices are a big bonus too.
I think they are the definitive version of each game.
Super mario advance was my jam as a kid that and warioland 3 were just phenomenal
I grew up with all these games! What a great time, especially with SMW and SMB3!
SMA4 was my start to 2D Mario games. I always loved playing SMB3 since
My brother and I both got GBAs for christmas in '01, I got SMA with mine (indigo) and he got Wario Land 4 with his (ice blue). While I also loved SMA 2: SMW (along with GBA LttP, even with the added OoT grunts) I can't say I played any of the SMA as much as WL4, he really got the best of both game and console design.
These are fun ways to play Mario games on Gameboy Advance
I was lucky enough to grow up with Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 as my introduction to Mario (as well as NSMB Wii), and to this day it is still my favorite 2D Mario game
