Other Luigi differences in SMA2: --When riding a Yoshi, he will not swallow enemies. Ever. Yoshi will hold onto enemies in his mouth and will fire them back out as a projectile. --If Luigi hits a multi-coin block, all ten coins will pop out at once as opposed to one at a time. More trivia for you.

[@smashmaster521]

That first one isn't entirely true. Yoshi will swallow enemies even when Luigi rides him in SMA2, but it's delayed since they're treated like Green, Blue, and Yellow Shells.

[@LinksYTLink]

You know, I always wondered why the second fact happened all the time. And now I know it's because I only play as Luigi.

[@GammaProtogolin]

I thought I remembered that the port for Mario world also made it so when you take damage as fire flower Mario or any of the other power-ups except the mushroom drop you to the mushroom Mario instead of tiny mario instantly. I personally liked that change, it just made more sense.

[@TheMack625]

Indeed. That's the main reason why I prefer this over the SNES version. That, and because it's the first version of Super Mario World I ever played.

[@Rodanguirus]

@@TheMack625 It is certainly a welcome change. I just want to chime in that at the time of SMW's release, it was only western versions of SMB3 that didn't drop you instantly back to small. SMB1, SMB2J/Lost Levels, the Japanese version of SMB3, SMW, and SML all operated that way. So it's definitely a bit of a surprise when playing the SNES version of SMW, but it was the norm at the time.

[@BagOfMagicFood]

I think the original SMW came up with that as a compromise between how the Japanese SMB3 dropped you directly to Small Mario from all suits like SMB1 and how the international versions changed it so you always passed through Big Mario first. It's interesting how the idea of a "superfluous" power-up also changed over time: In the post-SMW era, Fire Flowers can take you directly from Small to Fiery as other suits do, and you can still find Super Mushrooms in any form, but they do nothing but add 1000 points if you're already big. But SMB1 treated every power-up as the same power-up: If you grabbed a Fire Flower after getting shrunken, you'd only turn Big, not Fiery. Super Mario Brothers Deluxe took this concept further in the 2-player racing mode, where if a small player unearths a mushroom while the other player's big, and the Big player steals it, then he turns Fiery! Mushrooms contained fire power for that one glorious moment in time!

[@timothysmith8341]

The GBA ports were my first time playing these, so I'm really happy Nintendo did this. Also, this isn't a huge deal, but one difference between the Super Mario Worlds was that the GBA was easier. In the sense of when you got hit as cape or fire mario, you only went down to regular big mario instead of going back to small mario in SNES version. Also, the power up holder in the top center worked slightly different.

[@duffman18]

Yeah I grew up with a mega drive, but got a GBA when it came out, so at age 16 or whatever I was I got to play 2D mario games for the first time. Mainly played SMB 3. And I hated it back then. Cos it was so damn difficult. I couldn't get past world 2. I was so used to Sonic that it just didn't translate well at all to Mario. The Sonic games are so much easier than mario games, stuff like needing to stomp on enemies directly from above and not being able to do it from the side as well like in Sonic really messed me up. And it felt so damn slippery compared to sonic. Plus it was super easy to die with 1 or 2 hits being the limit. I was used to Sonic essentially having infinite health because of the rings, and so I was trying to rush through mario levels as fast as possible, which doesn't really work for a beginner. You'll die from pits and hammer bros and all sorts very easily that way. Funnily enough, these days I've learned how to play the Mario games properly, and I absolutely love them. I play one of them every day, usually beat it, and then move onto the next the next day. Infinitely replayable. But yeah I really hated them back in the day. They were the most difficult games I'd ever played. And at the same time as I was playing them I could beat Devil May Cry on the harder difficulties.

[@BagOfMagicFood]

​@@duffman18 Being used to Mario 3 messed me up on Sonic; I kept wanting to jump up inclines, but that only hurls Sonic backward! I would say Mario is more about building up speed to do high jumps where you need to, while Sonic is more about learning the topography to use it to your advantage.

[@id-f8679]

@Sonic They can just roll by pressing the down button you know.

[@Mqstodon]

@Sonic no, they mean all games. Like don't get me wrong the games are good: but they have lots of legitimate terrible designs like enemies that you can't see. And true, that adds to the replay value, but if a game isn't fun the first time who would bother to play it again?

Something that's often forgotten about is how mainline Mario kind of went into hibernation for a while. From July 96 to April 2006, a near 10 year period there was only one new platforming title in the series with Super Mario Sunshine. It seemed like Nintendo was focused on expanding the brand via spin-offs and reintroducing older games via the Advance series.

[@Azardea]

All that E-Reader content for SMB3 just absolutely blows my mind. I had no idea, and I played this game to DEATH as a kid. That would've been SO cool to see.

[@supresmeshbras2003]

We need a ROM Hack/Mod of the SNES Yoshi's Island that has those 6 GBA levels

[@turtleanton6539]

Yes

[@imhereforthememes500]

I’m glad you brought up Deluxe. That was my JAM as a kid. I think I actually think I played it more than the original NES version...

[@jimmer4039]

*Gotta love how the Wii U couldn't handle Yoshi's Island, but a homebrewed PS3 could*

[@TheMaleLilligant]

Super Mario Advance 3 was my first experience with Yoshi's Island. One of my favorite childhood games. I didn't even know it was a rerelease. I thought it would as a random original entry.

[@pizzanopastano9159]

“ThIs Is As FaR aS yOu Go!!!” -Birdo, for some reason Edit: “HoW fAr WiLl ThEsE lIkEs Go?” -Birdo, maybe? No seriously, thanks for all the likes, guys! 😊

[@VonFirflirch]

Imagine if they had kept this voice for Mario Kart and whatnot xD

[@pizzanopastano9159]

VonFirflirch I would have honestly liked that a lot. Birdo’s voice in Advance 2 is so bad that I ironically like it! So yes, I wish they used that! 😂

[@whichcache2517]

"I'm ReAdY fOr YoU tHiS tImE!" Also, did you know that all the male voices (except for Toad, who was voiced by Jan Taylor, who did all the other female characters) were done by the same guy... Charles Martinet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZuTppWEdtCemdE

[@pizzanopastano9159]

SuperStachey eightnineeightnine WOW, really. Charles must have done a ton of practice to have voice become that high! That’s why Charles is da man! 😂

[@Christoph8]

Well, hello there! I'LL REMEMBER THIS! I'm gonna finish you off! You've come a long way! HOW COULD YOU? I'M RREADY FOR YOU THIS TIME... YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF NERVE... HEeEeElp...

Antdude: Oh No Knuckles: OH NO HE STOLE *MY* LINE!!!!!

[@kieranstark7213]

Also Knuckles: *TRIGGERED*

[@carsonbrite1310]

This is how I grew up with classic Mario. They’re by far my favorite versions as well.

[@종달새-m8r]

10:16 So now we know Birdo’s gender Ohhhhhhh!

[@egpmh2891]

I loved this series, it brought back classics in a fun and portable way; back then that wasn't an easy thing to accomplish.

[@dialga236]

06:50 ANT WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO US-

[@Nic5Cyprus]

The definitive way to experience these games imo. Especially Advance 4

[@Rodanguirus]

The washed-out graphics, lower resolution, presence of Yoshi's baby voice, weaker music, and lack of several SFX2 effects really add up to hurt Yoshi's Island, IMO. That's relative, of course--it's still a perfectly fine way to play the game, and the new levels are excellent, but with access to both, I basically just boot up a finished file of SMA3 to play the new levels and stick to the original (well, SNES Classic) for everything else. The others are solid, though prolonged exposure to SMA's voices gets to me.

[@SquallyCoin5664]

11:33 Now these are the Lost Levels!

[@blackore64]

Not just for GBA, these were a great way to experience these older games for DS owners. In fact, Super Mario Advance 2 was the second (discounting the numerous low-quality flash games) Mario game I ever played.

[@paulgilbert5278]

If you are calling Super Mario 63 low quality then...

[@BlueTomorrows]

Speaking of that stray pixel on the SMW title screen... Did you know on the title screen for the original Sonic the Hedgehog that the title itself is off center center by 8 pixels (or 16 I can't remember)? I too am cursed with knowledge

[@id-f8679]

I learned that from Cybershell.

[@spongeman3090]

"Knowledge isn't a curse. It's a blessing" - PKDestroy 2007-I am not dead fools.

[@Puki9117]

And that there was supossed to be a "Press start" text in the title screen but because of a glitch it can only be seen with glitches/hacking

[@linkthehero8431]

7:16 I had no idea until now that you could jump on the Amazing Flying Hammer Bros until now. I thought the only way to beat them was to bump their blocks from the bottom.

[@monsieurliquorice]

Two years later: GBA on Switch has the e-reader levels. 👌

[@CiromBreeze]

Super Mario Advance was actually my first Mario game! Always found it odd that he didn't throw vegetables in the other games.

[@BryanX64]

3:15 you mean the Game Boy Printer? That was pretty cool at the time tho

[@MrKeldeoSean14]

I'm really glad about the selection of games you've been going over this month, its more on the level of games everyone knew and played but never talked about

[@raulgarza4835]

“Kudos on the Jiggle physics.” Alrighty then. Nothing wrong there.

[@SonofMrPeanut]

Though I was born in 1989 and was very much around for the SNES' lifespan, I didn't own it myself. I mostly played it via relatives' houses and my local Best Buy (Yoshi's Island when Mario Kart 64's line was too long). The Advance ports were my jam, then, because I could finally play through all of these myself at my own pace, and I could do it anywhere. They may have their shortcomings, but they served as a great introduction to the Mario series.

[@nickstrife8312]

0:18 Well, now you mention it, maybe you can do a review of Golden Sun on GBA. I would love to see your comments on this one. Also, Mario Tennis on GBA was amazing, a very RPG game with a really cool story.

[@IndigoDerg888]

Super Mario Advance 4 Super Mario Bros 3 is the first time i completed SMB3 on a console. It also brought back my love for the classic NES version as well.

[@sdlock83]

3:29 "Game still sucks though!" Lol! Kind of random.

[@spongeman3090]

It sucks because it's hard. I wonder what Japan thought of the game, though

[@PM90005]

This entire series is my preferred way of playing these, I love the gba, and I love the brighter colors and added voices

[@ChristopherMoom]

The naming scheme of the Super Mario Advance series is more messed up than my personal life I mean, come on, "Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3"? Really?

[@zacharylandrum4789]

You're never going to stop commenting until you become Justin Y, aren't you...?

[@zennistrad]

Wario Land 4 is technically Super Mario Land 6.

[@BagOfMagicFood]

I like to think of Yoshi's Story as Super Mario Brothers 6

[@xlicer]

While I never had a Gameboy Advanced, I grew up playing these ports via emulator, thanks for covering these up, alongside other GBA classics they make up a huge chunk of my early *real* gaming years. God the GBA did had some fine gems. Btw I remember my 11-year-old self scratching his head trying to get the smba 3 extra levels working using an emulator and the e-reader from, it was until I realized that I could just download a save state with all the levels in YEARS LATER)

[@PhantomDusclops92]

3:20 It used the Game Boy PRINTER, not the Camera.

[@ThundagaT2]

There's a lot more changes in Super Mario World actually. -Taking damage with the Fire Flower or Cape reverts you to Super Mario rather than Small. -The other color Yoshis can now be found in any level after first discovering them in Star World, and their color is based on what powerup state Mario is in when he hits blocks with Yoshi in them. -Luigi's Yoshi can spit enemies back out like in Yoshi's Island. -Getting the autumn pallete now requires you to get all 96 exits rather than just clearing Special World. -Also after beating the game, you can warp to any level on the world map by using the status screen. It will also show you which levels you have exits cleared for, and which ones you have collected all Dragon Coins for. -Speaking of Dragon Coins, their being added to Fortresses/Castles/Ghost Houses alters some of their layouts slightly to accommodate for them. -Also another minor one, the Bowser battle now has a time limit.

[@steelcircleguild]

You like screencrunch? Thought so

[@moss5296]

I really enjoy these videos about not so known games of big franchises they're a really interesting piece of gaming history and sometimes even a whole new experience for fans of these characters. As always, keep up the good content. :D

[@ermacn.cheese726]

The nostalgia is killing me, my god!

[@ZachToons888]

I remember playing Super Mario Advance 2 at my friend's house. The music from the intro cutscene gave me chills, it was so amazing.

[@DeadwingDork]

tag urself I'm the giant bouncy tree in SMB2

"They didn't just port these games and call it a day" better times

Lol no, that's Boom Boom's death animation

[@MrHomelessHobos]

You're a weird person

[@ivohunter24]

I really like how instead of doing a 180 with your content and talking about the Mario Remake Rumors, you decided to do a review of the original remakes. It still gets the "clout" but its still the content we are used to seeing from you. Great video!
