Overview

You've played it on the NES, as part of Super Mario All-Stars on Super NES, and maybe some of you have played it when it was Doki Doki Panic on the Famicom Disk System. Come June 11th, you'll now be able to play Super Mario Bros. 2 on the Game Boy Advance!

Of course, the GBA version is not going to be exactly the same. With an enhanced SMB2 and a special version of the Mario Bros. arcade game available as a separate play mode, Super Mario Advance is like two games in one.

SMA's version of SMB2 will include new features like Mechanical Birdos, some oversized enemies and items, and a new "Yoshi Challenge" where you must find two Yoshi eggs in each level. The Mario Bros. modes (Battle and Classic) will allow for four-player linked fun -- with only one cartridge necessary! Bowser also appears in this mode, but so far his purpose is unknown...
