Intro: Well, when I got the GBA MONTHS ago, I bought a game, and well, DUH! Every Mario fan buys a mario game on a launch day. So I bought it, along with a GBA, and I was ready to hold my new portable "SNES" gameboy!

Graphics: Nothing special really. The backrounds are the same as the SNES version, so there is nothing special in this section...yeah...

Audio: I really love that SMB2 tune for some reason. Every time I play this game, I just jam out the tunes and hum it. But I hate that underworld tune. So in other words: Yes, the music is good, for the Overworld that is.

Controls: Normal A to pick up stuff, B to jump. The Usual NES/SNES control setup.

Gameplay: Now, um. No comment really here either. All you do is pick Mario/Luigi/Toad/Peach. Peach floats, Toad is fast, mario is avarage. and Luigi jumps highest.

Story: I like the original Doki Doki Panic story line instead of SMB2/SMA 1:Where in DDP, 2 kids are reading a book, and a giant hand grabs them, and are sucked in the book. A family hears the commotion, rushes in and sees them, and go into the book to save them from Wart. 2: Mario dreams of a far away place called Sub Con. He wakes up and goes to a picnic. Mario and Co. go into a cave. (Who the Heck knows why?) And sees a door. They wake up and its the land from Mario;s dreams. A fairy appears and asks for them to save Sub Con from Wart! You tell me whats better...

Buy or Rent: Well, this game is only good for a Rental, but, Hardcore Mario Fans, like me, buy it without trying it!

Bottom Line: Good for a rental, but its an ok game.

FACT: Doki Doki Panic, the game listed in the Storyline part of my review, was the original SMB2/SMA. Instead of the mario bros, you had A family of Arabic people search for 2 kids inside a book. Nintendo liked what Fuji TV (Creator of DDP) and bought it's rights, then edited it some, and then came out Super Mario Bros. 2/Super Mario Advance! Thats why this game is such an oddball.
