4.5/5 ★ – Lancey's review of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.

Like the other titles in the Super Mario Advance series, this game is a remake of a classic, in this case: Super Mario Bros 3 (it is the seccond remake of this game to be exact, if you count the All-Stars version). The original game is already perfect, being one of the best 2D platformers ever made. So, how does this version surpasses it? One of the things that makes this remake so great is that it does not suffer from the weak points that most of the advance mario games do, like the inferrior soudtrack and burst graphics. Furthermore, the main campain and level design are bassically the same from the original with a few quality of life improvements (like being able to save anywhere). The biggest highlight of this game however are the e-reader levels. These consist of over 38 new levels in a new campain (sort of). They are incredibly well designed and are very challanging, felling as a natural expansion of the main levels. However, the coolest thing about these levels is that they feature power ups, mechanics, and enemies from other mario games. In my opinion, this is the best 2D platformer ever made. Maybe is the best remake of all time as well!
