Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 is a remake of Super Mario World for the Game Boy Advance. The game centers around Mario, with the help of Yoshi, rescuing Princess Peach from Bowser on Dinosaur Land.

On May 19, 2023, Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World along with Super Mario Advance and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 is returning to the Nintendo Switch for Nintendo Switch Online available on May 26, 2023.[1]

Notable differences[]

  • Princess Toadstool is called Princess Peach in this version.
  • Luigi isn't a color palette swap of Mario anymore, he has alternative pixels handles similar to Super Mario Bros. 2.
  • As with Super Mario Advance, there is a remake of the arcade Mario Bros., which also contains multiplayer support.
  • Yoshi's arms are not orange anymore.
  • If Mario (or Luigi) gets any other Yoshi, with the color besides green, then they will also appear in the Question Box where you find Yoshi (but you can still have the Green Yoshi come out of the question box too).
  • In the SNES version (Super Mario World), Luigi could only be used for co-op. (That is, for P2.) But in the GBA remake (Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World), the "2 Players" mode did not exist. And so, Luigi is an optional character.
  • In Bowser's Castle, there was no time limit for fighting Bowser. (That was in the SNES version "Super Mario World".) In the GBA remake (Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World), the timer is kept from previous rooms.
    • Because of this, the Front Door was extended from 400 to 800 seconds. In the Back Door, it is 600.
  • On the "The End" screen, the player is forced to restart the system. (That was in the SNES version.) But in the GBA remake, they can continue by pressing "Start" (after the camera takes Mario, Luigi, and Peach's picture).
