Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 is a platformer released in 2003 for the Game Boy Advance. The game revisits the classic side-scrolling gameplay of the original Super Mario Bros. 3, tasking players with guiding Mario through multiple themed worlds to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. Each level features a series of obstacles, enemies, and hidden secrets that require precise timing and skill to overcome.
The main objective centers around reaching the end of each stage while collecting power-ups and coins. The pace varies, allowing moments of fast-paced action interspersed with exploration and puzzle-solving. A unique mechanic in this version includes the ability to use the Game Boy Advance's shoulder buttons for smoother control and access to a map that helps track progress across the game's extensive world map.
One unusual idea present in this edition is the inclusion of the Mario Bros. arcade game as a bonus, providing a different style of gameplay within the same cartridge. The distinctive blend of classic level design with updated controls and additional content makes this release a notable entry in the Mario franchise on a handheld platform.
