Nostalgia, juego para críos pero algunos niveles... uff, complicadetes. Buenos niveles y entretenido.

Sino fuera por la camara y la musica esta seria uno de los mejores Mario 2d de la historia, arregla y añade varias cosas que al original de snes le faltaba

Lo mejor de lo mejor, aun a día de hoy el juego es hermoso y creo todo lo que ahora es mario.

All Super Mario games are masterpiece.

Can't understand how every Advance Version of Mario feels like a downgrade.


Good porting of a timeless classic, but it's no real remaster and lacks new content unlike Super Mario Advance games do. A little disappointed by Luigi sprite.

Why the colors washed out, wtf. Still good but I swear SMW is one of the most overrated games, like it’s good but like fuck hop off its dick.

Not sure how I feel about 2D Mario games - when you're in a groove, it feels great. When you're not, I want to throw the Game Boy across the room. Late game had a lot of secrets you needed to find in order to proceed, which I found pretty frustrating. I'm probably more of a 3D Mario fan than a 2D one, but based historical context, this game fell way short of my expectations.

Still haven't beat the game though :c

plays great, just has meh sound and really washed out visuals. If only this had been released a little later into the Advance's life, when the SP was a thing and they didn't need to bleach the hell out these games to make them viewable it would be much better, but whatcha gonna do

Hot take alert: You don't need me to tell you Super Mario World is a 5-star game, but maybe you do need me to say the GBA version might be the best version of the game. Reduced visibility is a thing, but it's not that bad. The ability to play as Luigi is a lot of fun and his floatier physics will challenge your muscle memory. And it tracks your dragon coin collection! Play it with a palette improvement hack on an Analogue Pocket.

Cool portable version of smw but the music can be a bit crusty at times and the game is really bright presumably to help with the gbas that didn't have a back-light.
Was still fun to experience a new version of smw

It's a competent port, but the original version is better. The screen crunch, reduced audio quality, and washed-out colors all make this worse.

Basically it's SMW for The GBA and With the Best Playable Character...LUiGI!

Pretty Fun remake of the og Mario World. Played it on a emulator so it was probably more comfortable on the original system

Asked for this game for Christmas at a time I didn't have access to the SNES original, and played for a couple worlds. After defeating Bowser on Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online, I initially abandoned plans to return to this port, but when I discovered SMA2 keeps track of collected Dragon Coins, I changed my mind. Will later play this port to 100% completion using mGBA on my modded Wii.

Platinado via RetroAchievements.

Nossa, nunca tinha jogado essa versão do Super Mario World, gostei mais dela do que a versão de SNES, um ótimo jogo

This is just a slightly worse and portable Mario World wow

Nunca tinha interesse nessa versão do Mario World, mas queria rejogar e peguei ela no 3DS, e bem, foi daora cara.

É o mesmo jogo, mas as atualizações no mapa ajudam muito pra fazer o 100%, eu também acho que tem fases que ficaram mais chatas aqui por causa da camera, mas tudo bem, é um port pro GBA não tem como fugir disso.

É um jeito bem valido de jogar o World até hoje, acho que se um dia eu tiver a vontade de fazer o 100% desse jogo, vai ser por essa versão mesmo.

Excelente port de un juego muy bueno.

Why was the music so compressed? Should have just made remixes. Another good remake, but unlike the first Advance, probably best to just play the original game.

El mejor juego de plataformas 2D de todos los tiempos y de Mario en particular. Brillante en todos sus aspectos

Im sorry everybody. Nostalgia has won and this is still clearly the best version of Super Mario World. Its no accident that 2-D Mario got boring again when they put him up on console

hell yes dude. there is nothing i can say about this game that hasn't been said a million times over. you cannot go wrong with this.

Butchered version of one of the best 2D Mario games


A fine version of the best 2D mario with some slight level changes and the addition of playing with luigi with his physics. The music is worse and the screensize is smaller and the colors are washed out, but thats what you get for being on the GBA. If you can play the original then stick with that, but this is a good alternative for its time.

As someone who didn't have a SNES, it was a great way to have the second best Mario game.

Um excelente port, não irei julgar os gráficos pálidos pois imagino que isso foi adaptado para a tela de GBA e não sei como fica.

Como lado negativo em comparação a versão original temos o áudio meio estourado (não costumo julgar limitações e adaptações técnicas) e a tela menor, mas em nenhum momento isso me atrapalhou. O level design é adaptado em alguns momentos para a tela menor e o som continua incrível.

Essa versão também passa uma sensação de acabamento melhor, com registro de progresso, vozes dos personagens, efeitos gráficos avançados, cutscenes e um novo personagem jogável (Luigi, que é como um modo difícil). A versão original tem aquela simplicidade de jogo de console recém-lançado.

O jogo compensa muito bem seus poucos defeitos e se eu tivesse esse jogo na época não teria nada a reclamar. 10/10

i stole my sisters gameboy to play this
