Reviews from

in the past


What if i got really into speedrunning this game specifically.

Just logging this here for the sake of completion. If you want my real review of this game, check out the original SNES version

Super Mario World, só que deixaram a paleta de cores no Sol por muito tempo.

Ok, na verdade as cores são diferentes para compensar a tela sem luz do GBA. Fora isso, eu acredito muito que é a versão definitiva do jogo, com vários extras e correções que faltaram no jogo original, deixando ele ainda melhor. Clássico maravilhoso

pretty decent port of a classic game. these types of re-releases feel so nostalgic of it's time. especially love the added voice acting

i stole my sisters gameboy to play this


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

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

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.

Butchered version of one of the best 2D Mario games

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.

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

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

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.

Excelente port de un juego muy bueno.

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.

Probably one of my favorite games ever made.

Look, I get it’s a copy and paste of a 1991 game onto a 32 bit handheld, but it’s sound design (I’m so biased oh my goshhhhh) is miles better than on the SNES.

only played the first world, star world, and the special world, but they were fun and the special world in particular offered a good challenge.

Ta weno. Las versiones de GBA de estos juegos si que son las superiores

Nothing to add here from my experience on the SNES Version. It's the same game , but with worse audio quality and some quality of life changes.
I like that now you have a list of levels where you can see collectibles , exits and teleport instantly to levels without slowly traversing the entire map.
Luigi is significantly worse to use compared to Mario and meìakes me feel like the game is in slow mode for some reason. I don't aunderstand this Super Mario Advance trend of putting Luigi as a playable character if it's so unfun to play.
So what's better , this or the SNES Version ? Personally i suggest to play the SNES Version since there aren't much changes or added content and Audio is just better.

[ 7.3 / 10 ]

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

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.

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

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.

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

Still haven't beat the game though :c


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 on historical context, this game fell way short of my expectations.

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.

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.

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