I'm not planning on ever getting the GBA now, anyway, but I think the only good side to Super Mario Advance 2 being SMW is that another sequel has to come out (games always come in trilogies), and it's almost definitely gonna be SMB3. That's the best Mario game of all time!
But anyway, a NEW Mario sidescroller would probably convince me to buy the GBA if it had all of these things:
1) Classic Mario interface with ? boxes, Goombas, Koopas, and stuff like that
2) The following characters would be selectable in each level: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Toad. You'd be able to find and unlock Peach, Wario, Waluigi, Donkey Kong Jr., and, get this...Bowser.
3) The plot would be better than the traditional Bowser-capturing-Toadstool story. I dunno what it'd but now I'm all hyped up and I'll think a one soon.
4) All enemies from all Mario games would be there.
5) Wart and DK would be some of the major bosses.
6) Multiplayer modes would include Level races, battle mode similar to SSB but you'd only be able to do your normal attacks from the game (Mario couldn't double jump or anything)
No clue what else, but that would be an awesome game!
