Mario and Co. come together to make a crisp well done remake with a twist. Now points are added in.

User Rating: 8.5 | Super Mario Advance GBA
Anyone who doesn't want to spend Wii points (or doesn't have a Wii or wireless internet service) and misses the unforgettable Super Mario All-Stars game from the SNES should get this game. In addition to Super Mario Bros. 2, SMA also has Mario Bros. an old game where you bump enemies from below and knock them off before they get back up. The main game has undergone some changes. These include the new Ace Coins, large enemies, and a points system. Though this game was probably aimed at the nostalgic bunch, it can also entertain a group of newbies. One cool new feature is the ability to play with multiple people using game link cables. However not many people have a working GBA and the DS can't do multiplayer. but if you have either a working GBA/ SP or a Game Cube with Game Boy Player and you know someone who has the other thing, then you're good to go. the only downside to this game is that the game has gotten easier. I remember when I had 1 Heart left and needed to kill a load of enemies just to het a heart. Now you can pick Heart Radishes, Find them on stage, defeat 2 enemies (POW blocks don't count unless 2 enemies get hit by it before it lands), throw a shell at them, defeat a large enemy, or throw a large enemy. Also shells origionally went in one direction until it hits a wall. now they bounce around OFF walls. Other than that this game is an excellent game to have. the graphics are excellent and the music is pure nostalgia. The voices are a good addition to this game. Overall it's a must have for anyone.
