Title: Super Mario Advance 4
Post by: Bartman3010 on July 10, 2003, 07:38:36 PM
I finally got to check out the Japanese rom of Super Mario Advance 4. Some of the bigger changes is that theres 3 save files, and one that takes you to World E+ (E-reader world) Too bad you cant scan cards...
Theres just graphical enhancements and not much else. It does share some similarities with Donkey Kong Country though. The R button acts as a B button as well, and you have the ability to select 2 player mode (AKA Mario and Luigi), which is just a hot seat function as well. Great for Game Boy Player stuff. Too bad that theres no Mario Bros VS. mode within SMB3 (But Mario Bros. is included remember) Oh, so far all I can tell is that Luigi doesnt flutter like he does in the other Advance titles. He still moves his feet fast but thats it.
On the map is the L and R buttons, L brings up your item thing, it now shows 4 rows of items. R brings up a 2 choice menu, but all it does is take you to something about the E reader.

I have the cartridge, and I'd like to say that this game is VERY GBPlayer friendly. The sound is great for it, and looks better than allstars.

I like the e-Reader as a piracy deterrent. Those of us who buy, not download, our games get the full benefit. (Uh, until somebody releases a complete save state, I guess...)
I played through all of Mario Advance 4 yesterday and today, and posted complete thoughts on my home page (link in sig). Only two cards are available so far but it looks like there are going to be quite a few cards released (one for every item, about thirty extra levels, and a bunch more that are gameplay strategy movies).

I hope your right about the piracy, because folks at Game FAQS just found bunch of enemies and items using cheats.
On a lighter note, you have no ability to spin jump even with the Feather cape.
