Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World is an advanced remake of Super Mario World made for the Game Boy Advance and is the second in the Super Mario Advance line of enhanced handheld remakes.

Information

Super Mario World has less changes when compared to the previous game. There were cosmetic changes such as the addition of an opening cutscene and some voice clips for the playable characters. Previous remakes had added red coins to collect in each level but Super Mario World already had Dragon Coins hidden in each level so collecting all of them became an optional accomplishment. There is also a saving feature and other changes to make the game easier. One main gameplay change is that Luigi now has different abilities than Mario to reflect his gameplay from Super Mario Bros. 2.

Like the previous game, Super Mario Advance 2 also contains the Mario Bros. Classic game that can be played with one to four players.

Legacy

Ports/Remakes

• It was rereleased for download as part of the Wii U Virtual Console in 2014, although it has so far only been released in Japan. The original Super Mario World is also available through the same system.

Sequels

Despite Super Mario Bros. 3 having come out before both games, the Super Mario World port was followed by Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island which as the name suggests is a port of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
