Super Mario Advance - Four-Player Battle Mode (Game Boy Player Capture)

I didn't know Bowser was in this game

Yeah, me either, complete with brand-not-seen-sprite before...😅

[@Scorpionspear77]

He’s only in this battle mode from what I understand

[@IvanFranco120]

[@Waylon128]

Wow, seeing this mode in action finally is very cathartic. As a child I always wanted to experience this and now I can finally see that it was as cool as I imagined.

[@rusblr]

Relateable

[@paulnovacek3715]

If only Mario vs. Luigi on the DS could have 4 players... Edit: 6 years later and we have a fanmade PC port that does just that! Search "Mario VS Luigi Unity" if you want to check it out.

[@Pooper]

You mean Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.

[@paulnovacek3715]

No, I meant Mario Vs. Luigi Mode from New! Super Mario Bros. DS. The one where you run around trying to get the most stars. But wow. now that you mention it, Partners in Time multiplayer would be cool too.

[@Pooper]

Ah.

[@sprousprou]

YES.

[@georgecortes3416]

Paul Novacek If it was 4 players, it wouldn’t be Mario vs Luigi anymore since there’s two players missing. At least you can play the Mini Games with 4 players and heck, if you’re willing to put up with the DS’s lack of a control stick or circle pad, Super Mario 64 DS has similar multiplayer where you and your friends control different colored Yoshis as you try to collect the most Power Stars while being able to pick up caps to transform into Mario, Green Mario, or THICC Mario! Also, Wario has this new spin throw and the Wing Cap is now a feather that can be used by any character, but these two features are multiplayer exclusive.

[@platypusduck54]

I play this with my friends every other Wednesday at my high school. We have activity period and someone made video game club. We meet and we all play this and a lot of Mario Kart Super Circuit. It's a blast!

[@AlexGamer-fi9zh]

5:48 this is why Wario stole Mario's Castle

[@MrRedGreenBlue1]

they should remake this as an online eshop game, I don't even want them to put the other characters in it, just leave it as 4 marios

[@larryclarke7976]

I think they are they already have 2 of the super Mario advance games on it

[@thevenom2731]

Larry Clarke But the advance gamea on wii u vc don't have multiplayer.

[@bennel3588]

I like the characters to be Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi. I thought someone's suggestion with that perfectly made sense.

[@RockinRay-dp6zx]

Fun fact now on android you can play this online with multigba S

[@bennel3588]

@@thevenom2731 On the Wii U Virtual Console version of Super Mario Advance, I thought Multiplayer would be available by connecting with other players online. Why make Game Boy Advance games be available on Wii U, but not on Nintendo 3DS? I think they should have put the Game Boy Advance games with Multiplayer as a download for Nintendo 3DS and put the Game Boy Advance games that require motion as a download for the Wii U (I think when the motion games were tested out on Nintendo 3DS, they did not work out well, so they ended up leaving Game Boy Advance games out, due to some of them requiring motion). Nintendo DS games can also be downloaded on Wii U, so when players play Megaman ZX, they might find the doors that require Megaman Zero 3 and 4 to be in, and I think downloading Megaman Zero 3 and 4 would work for those doors. The doors for Megaman Zero 3 and 4 are separate, Megaman Zero 3 and 4 are on Game Boy Advance and Megaman ZX is on Nintendo DS, and if someone has a Nintendo DS, they can insert the Game Boy Advance game at the bottom and insert the Nintendo DS game at the top.

This mode was so much fun. I wish the Wii U versions of these games implemented the multiplayer on these games.

[@SiebayPlays]

This was a defining moment of my childhood with me, my brother, and my cousins years ago. I miss the days when you actually had to come together to play games together.

[@theredlumas2]

online gaming was around at the time and i honestly view online as better. but nothing will match the feeling of everyone in one room

[@Kittenfox_55]

So this is what having friends is like.

[@vyletsarah_]

I just realized that all versions of Mario Bros. on the GBA can connect (besides different regions). I tried SMA4 and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and it worked.

[@beyondobscure]

Different regions? So I can't connect my Japanese copy of Mario World with a US copy?

[@DarkBowser64]

Not only all four Super Mario Advance games, but apparently Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga as well. It also contains Mario Bros. Classic on the cartridge and the instruction manual says it can be used with the other games.

[@cube2fox]

On another video someone said M&L Superstar Saga supported the Gameboy Player in that the second controller would control the second brother in the game. True or not?

[@TheEdgeOfNoun]

Ah, the 3rd and 4th Mario brothers.

[@Planetkid32]

I kinda find it funny and cute that Bowser is in the game and that he’s just an obstacle that can’t be removed, but only bumped from beneath to either move him, or stop him from breathing fire. :P

[@IvanFranco120]

Yeah, i think Bowser in Battle mode cannot be killed in any way, aside from bumping under the platform.

This looks like so much fun! I was lucky enough to have my brother to play with, but I still miss the days of local multiplayer, it was just so much more fun and personal than online gaming. I'm glad it exists, because I can still play with my friends and family anywhere, but there was something special about the older style of multiplayer.

[@gurdi]

I feel exactly the same

[@watcherman222]

This. Right now, the Nintendo Switch is the console that has a lot of local multiplayer games, be it local wireless or couch multiplayer.

Never got to play this version because no one had the cables for it and lack of friends with the game itself. It looks funny seeing all these marios going berserk

I hate how both da NDS-Backward-Compabilities and WiiU-VirtualConsole omit multiplayer modes in the GBA game! I also hate how there is no TV-console that ports over this 32-bit version of Classic Mario Bros! The graphics are so amazing when compared to the original 8-bit version and I would love for playing co-op battle mode with 4-players as "2 Marios & 2 Luigis" (rather than 4 Marios) to stop requiring old GBA systems in order to connect! Man, I just really miss this game (Mario Bros: Super Mario Advance edition) by a lot of means, and not only do I wish that those Yellow and Blue Plumbers with Tan-overalls were given far more attention, but I also wish it was way easier to gain access into 4-Player Mario Bros in this modern date throughout today's generation!

Anyone know if the Wii U ports offer any sort of multiplayer experience? The Mario wiki states that players 3 and 4 had their overalls recolored as a way to allude to Wario and Waluigi in those versions. I can't find any footage of it and it seems like it may have been made up.
