This game is not very fun. The levels are difficult and the character slips around a lot. I like to play against the bosses.
There is also the classic Mario game, which will trigger tears of nostalgia for 20-somethings, but is boring for me! Basically, the gameplay is this:
Go to level one. Play a boss. Go to level two. Play a boss.
And then this:
Whack the characters. Play again.
Wouldn't recommend.

- Another brilliant Super Mario game
This game is very good and will keep you amused for hours. It sometimes gets a little boring but for the majority of the time it is great. It is really good having both the games on it because it means you have an option of which game to play. It must be good as I am still playing it now on my DS and I got it soon after it came out so it was a good buy. This is a must buy for anyone who has a DS or a Game Boy Advance.

Super Mario Advance; Vegetable Tugging Mania!
This is a really great start to Mario on the GBA. First it's new, different, and fresh with very different characters. In this Mario Plat-former you get to play as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad. Also having distinctively different powers. Like Power, Jump and weight.... In this there are about seventy levels all with a different aspect, also plenty of hidden things for example these urn things you can move Into and get a key!
When you have finished or on the way you have to collect A coins. Another different enjoyable part, which is not thrown In to lengthen the game. Every coin you collect is 1% and there are about three in each level.
Also after that is another mode, (I have completed the game 100% percent). Even More Is afterwards but I do not want to spoil it.. At the end you have a boss battle with an egg-throwing dinosaur, which you have to lob back at it, This is very Fun, the thing that makes It `Super Mario Advance' Is being able to pick up stuff, potions Enemies weeds and vegetables. Sadly you cannot pick up the enemies! Any other Mario game though currently doesn't have the option to pick up Enemies around with you, SMA:2 has similair but not as good as the first!
Although the Music can be quite strange, it sometimes is Jolly, It Is not annoying and fits Into the game. The game-play is really good on this and enjoyable can get frustrating on some levels. Plenty of things to get you playing for ages with added bonuses at the end. If you like this then you would probably Love Super Mario Advance 2 I did and still think It is one of the best Console games Ever!!
As one of the first launch games for the GBA it was a smashing hit and I Love it!
Rating: - Retro gaming updated
I played this back when it was available for the Nes and thought it would be nice to relive old memories on a new game system, looking back I was either a better player or this game was made much harder than the original.
The graphics look excellent, brilliantly updated and the sound has the addition of little snippets of speech. All in all this is a very good re-make of an older game.
It should be noted this was never originally designed as a mario game but the characters were included for the american and british audiences, with the original Japanese mario 2 being like the original mario.
Rating: - Mmm.. not the usual brilliance
Basically this is maybe the worst Mario game I've played (but take into consideration that ANY Mario game is top-notch). Nothing new, no suprises, the gimmicks like the 2-in-1 game and extra characters are short lived. The game is also pretty easy. So, when the GBA was first released then yes by all means you should of got it, but in the light of Sonic, Super Mario Advance 2, Wario Land 4, this pales in comparision.
