"Super Mario Advance" is a combination of a souped up version of "Mario Bros. 2" and the multi-player game "Mario Bros." The pak should have a nostalgic appeal to anyone who was playing games ten years ago.

"Mario 2" is different from all the other Marios by the fact you cannot defeat enemies by jumping on their heads. Instead, you pick up enemies or vegetables and throw them at other foes.

Screenshots from 'Super Mario Advance' Before game play starts, players are asked to choose between four characters: Luigi, who has an awesome jump; Toad, who has a lot of speed and power; Peach, who can fly for 1.5 seconds; and Mario, who is the best overall character to start with.

At the end of almost every level, players must face off with Birdo, a monster that spits eggs. Players must catch the eggs in mid air and return to sender to complete the stage. Every third level has a zany boss that presents amazing challenges. From a bomb wielding mouse to a toad who hates vegetables, the game has some hilarious antagonists.

The game is not perfect though. Some levels (especially later ones) can get long and hard. The challenges presented by the baddies sometimes can be unreal and hard for younger crowds as well. Overall though, the game is worth taking a look at; it has a touch of nostalgic fun that is priceless.

From a Christian perspective, the game is very much neutral (neither promoting nor putting-down Christian morals). The game engine is fun but very old (not seen for a decade). For gameplay, the one player mode is a blast. Also available is a battle mode for multiple players. Overall, "Mario Advance" gets an 80%.
