When I first looked at the first Mario Advance, I thought "Why have they chosen Super Mario 2". Of course it's a class game but there are even better mario games that there were on the SNES that they could have chosen. I wanted to see the game Super Mario World appear on the GBA, It being my favorite one. I never actually had the game on the SNES but I played on it at one of my friens' house and it was brilliant. Now that they have chosen SMW for the next mario game on the GBA, I thoght it was brilliant. Being able to ride on Yoshi and running through huge haunted mansions with millions of Boos flying above you is brilliant. Not only that it had great gameplay, it was huge and it's now going to be on the GBA. Mario Advance was good but the actual game was quite small although it did have the Super Mario Bros arcade game included. Mario Advance 2 has both Super Mario World and an updated version of the arcade game. The SNES version was brilliant so how can this fail. Every one who never had the original will find this to be a great game. Good choice Nintendo.

Dude the GBA is just a SNES emulator, Nintendo need to stop cashing in on there old games and make some new ones. Mario worlds all good but I dont wanna play it through again.

well at least it won't be any worse then it is, because theres virtually nothing wrong with the original super mario world!, so maybe a more or less straight port would be fine, but i'm sure Nintendo will tweak it anyway...

They might make improvements on the really hard parts of the games. On Zelda: Links Awakening DX on the first dungeon there is a small tablet that reveals how to get the roc's feather because many people got stuck on that bit (including me) and on the first bit of Mario Advance they put that springy thing in because some of the characters can't jump up to the first door.

Although I own Super Mario World on the SNES and have completed it, I'm still going to get Super Mario Advance 2! I just hope that there's some sort of improvement on, like the Yoshi egg thing, but I also hope that this time after completing that you actually get something!
I would have liked to have seen an improved version of Super Mario Bros 3 on the GBA cos it was such a class game. And I just loved the Tanooki suit so much!
