I think we should start a topic on what we think the next Mario Advance should be. I have a few suggestions.

Super Mario Deluxe - I know that is a remake of Super Mario Bros + Lost Levels but I think with GBA resolution ang graphics it would look good. Also the multi-player mode that came with it. I'd like to see it in single pak.

Super Mario Bros. 3 - When I found out the SNES version was a remake I was amazed. It looked so much like a SNES game original and it was so long!

Super Mario RPG - Wasn't this announced on upwire in 2002? Anyway, SMRPG was a great game and I have read it ALL over the internet that other people want it.

Yoshi's Story - We have Final Fantasy Tactics, why not Yoshi's Story. Such a great game that was and being like Super Smash Bros. was just 2D with 3D graphics. Although it doesn't have Mario in it where as Yoshi's Island does.

Supeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer SMASH BROTHERS!!!!!! - Okay, mabye not as a Mario Advance but I think that it is possible to port the N64 version onto the GBA (and mabye even some Gamecube exclusive characters if the cartridge size is big enough)

Mario is Missing - Well it would actually be kind of original as it involved you (as Luigi) finding out what country you're in, getting Yoshi there, recovering Landmarks, etc - so it would be more modern and possibly SMRPG 3D style. Although for the same reasons it might be incredibly boring!

Mario Party - I might have read about this or mabye just a GBA - Gamecube link game but anyway I want a party game on the GBA so it's either Sonic Shuffle or this.

All the GB Super Mario Lands - I never played these as I only got my GBC in 2000 and I wasn't the person who goes on ebay to get them.

Super Mario Sushine - Okay, I know this isn't really within reason but it would be kinda possible.

To be honest I think Nintendo have represented Mario poorly on GBA. They should have released a Super Mario All Stars style bundle with Mario Bros 1-3 and possibly Super Mario World as well. If they wanted to milk the old Mario games they still could have released Marios 1-3 as one, then Super Mario World and SMW2 (Yoshi's Island) as another bundle. But no. They release each game seperately.

You could probably buy a SNES and Mario All Stars for about £35 on Ebay, rather than pay £35 per game to get each one seperately, and I personally won't get any of the GBA Mario titles (assuming at some point I do buy a GBA or GBA Player). I would probably buy a new mario title, but the constant re-hashes should have been released as a bundle and then be done with them to make way for original titles. Sega have the right idea. They released all the old 2D Sonics (albeit on GameCube not GBA) and made original titles for the GBA. Why Nintendo won't do the same is beyond me. Some new 2D Mario titles would surely boost GBA and SP sales no end.

Why are we talking about Mario World? That's already ported to SMA2. SMB3 is probably the best unreleased game for GBA.

What's Nifty?

2 things:

Super Mario Bros 3 was never released seperately from Super Mario Allstars on the SNES. It was, however, released as a seperate game in its original form on the NES.

Super Mario Land is a Game Boy game, never appeared on the SNES (unless you count Super Game Boy). I believe the game you're thinking of is Super Mario Allstars Inc. Super Mario World, which happened to come as a package with my brother's SNES when he got it new in the UK in 1996 (or was it 1997?)

I would be very suprised if Super Mario Allstars, or even the version including Super Mario World saw a Game Boy Advance release, as most of the games are available seperately on Game Boy anyway.

I find it (SMB3) much too linear and straightforwards, I did at the time, too.

Mario 3 for SNES was considered to be the best game made EVER< mostly because it was the top selling game, ever.

What they should have done though, is re-released Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario Land (A game package only released in the US, I think...).

ANd Mario 3 was the best game ever...

Considered by many.

It was definately considered the best when it was originally released, and I know there are those who still consider it the best.

Saying 'Super Mario World is better, no?' is asking my opinion. And to be honest, I think I prefer Super Mario Bros 3.

So, no, in my opinion, it isn't.

Considered best Mario 2D title by whom?

Mario World is infinitely better.

No?
