Super Mario Advance 4: SMB3 • BONUS e-Reader Levels! 

What's up?

I was literally playing this game on my Wii U when you uploaded this.

I wish they would do stuff like this with games like Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Sunshine

Always loved those e-reader levels! They were always so creative! Almost reminds me of Mario Maker, haha!

Loved the video!!! Mario Advance 4 is so underrated, pls do more content of it!

Use the turnip that you pulled in the last level to get that E Coin that you couldn't get.

Dude, I'm super pumped to see you play these. I remember suggesting this video a year or 2 ago. Thanks as always for the awesome content!

22:30 From memory, it’s an indicator that tells you how many coins are in that level. I haven’t played world-e in a while, but I think you get either a coinship or a white toad house.

I was able to get the cards that came for the GBA version that was released in the US. I loved that the Wii U version had all the e-reader stages. I just wish the p-switch cards were a thing also. I enjoyed using the veggies in the SMB3 stages. Yes, I would like to see a playthrough with the rest of the e-stages.

I remember that coin block in the airship level from SMA2: SMW. I gives you a prize if you collect all of the coins.

I really want them to do something like this again, like a new mario game and in a bonus world or something there is a level where you run around on walls using the ramps, or throwing turnips at goombas

I had no idea this game even existed. Seems I missed out on this one back in the day and I no longer have any Nintendo consoles aside from the DS. So because of that, I'd be happy to see more of this one.

Heyyy! I asked you to play this on a BTG Retro Night! Truly, you are a man of culture. These levels are unique, and that's what I'm all about.

You definitely have to complete this game! I'm a bug SMB3 FAN AND THIS IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT. keep going DARBY!!!

Loved the extra levels, great video to watch before I start school! And close to 300K as well!

I like how e-reader levels has objects from SMW and SMB2‚ I like the ghost house too.

I loved the GameBoy Advance versions of 'Super Mario Brothers 2', 'Super Mario Brothers 3', 'Super Mario World', and 'Yoshi's Island'! ^_^ I loved the voice over clips, and the extra stuff they added in the games! :D

These e-reader levels are the best 2D Mario stages ever designed. I played through them after it became possible to inject them into the GBA ROM and then install them on a modded 3DS..The benefit this method has over the WiiU option is that it's real hardware not emulation (less lag). These are the only levels which include power ups from both Mario 3 & 4 at the same time (Feather & Cape, for example), and other unique quirks. Later stages are super hard too. With the voice removal and colour restoration patches applied it's near perfect.

26:52 Could you imagine Luigi saying: “Brain power!”?

These levels are so unique and fun hope this becomes a series

It's weird how even with such an old game you can still learn something new. I never knew these levels existed! Heck, I never knew the e-reader existed. Edit: Nevermind, after googling I found out that the e-reader wasn't released where I grew up. Guess there was no way I could've seen those levels back then^^

I would love some more e reader levels, these are cool to watch

I love that Nintendo has made so many recreations of World 1-1 Kinda makes you wonder if that was the inspiration behind the many, MANY 1-1 remakes in Super Mario Maker

Great to see you Darby play old classic Mario games amazing job👍👍👌👌👏👏

This video is just what I needed!

This brought back memories of that one GB Mario game, Super Mario Land 2,the 6 (something) Coins. Have you thought of covering those old GB games with an emulator or something? (If that's legal lol) its a really different kind of game with different enemies, and "zones" that you have to get to thru the over world, like the Tree Zone or Pumpkin Zone, and there are special enemies and such for each part. Great Video as always :)

Ngl I Never Known About Those Levels Until Now Thank You!

I played a while ago those e-Reader Levels and i have to say: These Levels are very good and some of them are hard levels. I appreciated that Nintendo added those e-Reader Levels in the VC Wii U Version of Mario Advance 4.

So, I had Mario 3 for NES as a kid, it took 10 years to beat the game. When I got into high school I purchased a GBA SP and with it came Mario 3, and Mario World (which I had not played through). I really enjoyed this port, except for one major thing. They made the game easier, adding a few blocks and such. I have never seen the e-reader levels, and you have made me very excited!

You forgot the plant a few rooms back for,that ecoin. It mirrored at earlier level where you had to do that. I love this series!

Very cool I’ve been waiting for this it’s so cool

I love these levels!! Plz do more!

Darby: It would be cool if you could go from a SM64 level to a SMB3 level. Super Mario Odyssey: Am I a joke to you?

Man the e-reader was such a cool little ad on to the game boy. They really don't do many unique things like that any more

glad you did this game and the e-Reader part. loved this game on the GBA. Yoshi's Island is one of my personal favorites, played it on the classic system the GBA and on the DS

It's really cool! I've never actually seen any of the e-reader content before.

Anyone else remember the dagnal Mario big boo fight 😂 the voice was so funny

I'd love to see more of these, and there seems to be a lot to go through.

I would LOVE to see more of these

I wonder how much the level, item and demo cards go for these days. There were some Walmart exclusive cards too; I bet they're really rare.

Would love more! Excellent video!

Well, that coin block is a thing that appears after beating the final boss. Remember when you said about somthing happening after collecting a certain number of coins on certain levels on your Mario 3 tips and tricks video, if yes then, well that thing shows you how many coins are left to collect for that secret. (Basically this is what was happening on that tank level)

11:35 Maybe you didn't see it at the time, but there was a bubble around the mushroom, thus the bouncy noise when you hit it with veggies. I agree that it was too much work for a mushroom, but that's what the deal was.

Btg: exited E-card e means exited bro Btg died because of laughing Me:😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I recall having Mario advance 3 (which i believe was the GBA port of yoshis island) and really liking the little voiced changes. Yoshi shounds much cuter with his little"hup" noise than the springy bounce sound he had in the original. Plus it had bonus levels in that too.

Him:thats a big veggie Me: i wish i knew how to make memes

what an awesome throw back i remember having the og version.

12:35: I wish they'd bring back something like this Sounds like something my friend wanted to make, but he cancelled the idea due to no one helping out with sprites and stuff

Nice. I've never really tried the GBA version of SMB3 but i really like they put in some extra content, just so you aren't playing the same game and they get really creative with it too. I wish i still had my WII U so i could play these myself.

Super Mario Advance 4 was one of my first video games

I like how these e reader levels exist.

Nicely played! Keep the veggie to throw at the final e-coin in the video.

I kinda like the goofy voice overs. 9:28 was hilarious and then Luigi gets it right "Just-a what I needed!"

I recently made a SMB3 style full game. It's 77 levels and uses 2 super worlds. I used remade several of the e-reader levels for it.

More mario advance 4 please. E-reader levels, so cool to see new old stuff.

I have this game on GBA, and I sorta want an e-reader for these.

This is awesome

Hey everyone, here is the Brazilian guy with weird name to pronounce! BTG is awesome! I enjoy and hope you enjoy as well this video!! 😱🥰 thank you for that amazing (always 10/10) video!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Excelent video Darby! I wish you play every map!And with Lair too... Greetings from Argentina ,men!

To answer your question I have played through many of these before, and in my opinion there are some really good levels towards the end of it

I never played Mario advance 4 well I actually did when I was 8 or 9 but it was in a Wii but it does look great 😍

GBA was 32-bit (just like the PS1). Most games were 16-bit sadly to decrease the size of files to fit more on the tiny cartridges.

Amazing!

the coin count that appears in the bottom appears in those levels where you have to get all coins to get either a P wing or an anchor, in advance 4; so I guess yeah you should get all the coins, no idea what it would give you in these bonus levels though

Not only are the graphics kind of like Super Mario All-Stars, but the music in world 1-1 was almost straight out of all stars

This game will never die

You're so great dude

Awesome

This Game Boy Advance game is now available for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers, e-Reader levels and all.

I’ve played the classic levels, they’re fun

I love your videos!👌👌👌

Super Mario Advance 4 is honestly, probably my favourite video game.

I have some of these cards UNOPENED I think super mario advance 4 is my favorite version of super mario 3 because when you win you can keep playing, going back to other worlds and you can play any level you want It’s a great chance to stock up on hammer bros suits so you can play with it for more than 2 seconds before you lose it. You can go back to mushroom houses as much as you want

THIS VIDEOS COME FASTER THAN SONIC!! I LIKE IT!

19:36 that also happens on the original Mario 3 levels on advance 4 on the origin they tell you to collect all those coins and you get the blue mushroom we’re you’ll get the P-wing and stuff like that. Long story short get the coins to 0 and get a bonus.

I love this game because of the modern graphics, also have you checked out Retro Mario Bros. 3, its SMB3 but with the sprites replaced by the SMB ones

We Need Another Episode This Was A Great Video

If you really enjoy it I say you should play more of it. It isn't always easy to balance the games you like and the ones that are popular

If I remember right its a counter for a ton of 1-ups. I think that was the only one in the elevels. I honestly dont remember it's been ages since I played these levels.

I'm definitely going to buy it on wii U so I can try these e reader stages :)

Yes please keep playing super mairo advace 4 to the very end. This is great.

vegetables can collect the big coins if you throw them, so you have to do some pipe item shenanigans

I want more cause i like when your having fun and doing some sneaky shananigans

to grab the e coin in the last level I don't know where you are supposed to get one but if you throw a plant it'll go through the wall.

1:13 I don't have any personal opinions on it, but I liked Allstars SMB3, so I think I'd like this too (plus I LOVED Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World). I never really understood why Mario Multiverse has this theme instead of just Allstars SMB3 though. I imagine it's due to the slightly different more crunchy music? I never understood why people preferred that, though...

Fun fact due to the failure of the e-reader in the u.s. we never got all the levels on the gba version the wii u version added the content they didn't give us there's a rom hack that has all the levels in it. Makes it so u can get the other two mushroom houses.

I never had a Wii U before but I have mine on wii with the gameboy emulator was fun to play e reader levels

Mario advance 4 is so good!!!!!!! 🥰 love it

If you get all the coins in that one level, Mario can afford to have his mafia connections whack Bowser.

Keep playing the game bro!!!

Hey Darby brother🤗👋 very cool bud, looks like fun bud.👍👏😎

This is my favorite game too! Yaaaaaaay

"Unique way to play Mario 3" Did you know that this game has rumble? Yes, it's quite unique indeed!

Cool!

We Love this game

It Would been interesting if they did Smw levels in Smb3

Yes!

7:00 small detail but when luigi gets out of the pipe he shakes the water off

Its a new game on an old game !!! Crazy !!!

This would be my second favorite game ahead of Mario Kart Super Circuit and just behind Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
