Welcome to the upgrade of a tail-shaking frog-jumping and hammer-throwing adventure: Super Mario Advance 4! SMA4 is really SMB3 in SNES clothes, with just a pinch of new features.

Gameplay: 9
The gameplay is what's best about this game. Wanna fool Koopas by turning into a statue? Go for it! How about flying? Do that too! You can even get eaten by a stupid fish... wait, you don't want to do that! The gameplay sinks in only one spot: the e-Reader. The 'Reader is one of the dumbest ideas ever! Okay, let's get to the graphics before I get too angry about it.

Graphics: 8
The graphics of this game have SNES written all over them. Not much to say about them.

Sound: 10
Nintendo makes it look easy to make video games sound good. It's not that beep-bloop stuff any more. Kinda reminds me of the SNES (Okay, I admit it! This game is almost all of the SNES's idea!). My favorite music out of all the (video game) music I have heard in my life is the SMA4 World 1 Map music.

Final words:
This is a must-have game. (Score=27/30 points!)
