Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 e-Reader cards
It has been requested that more images be uploaded for this article. Remove this notice only after the additional images have been added. Specifics: Remaining cards
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 features e-Reader compatibility, in that it can link up to a second Game Boy Advance with an e-Reader. Upon scanning in one of three types of cards, something will then be triggered in the game. This feature is normally absent in the European version of the game, but it can be enabled using a cheat device. These are the types of cards that were released:
- Level Cards upload a brand-new level into the game, which can be played in World-e. Note that only 33 levels (32 permanent, with the 33rd being temporary, and erased when a new Level Card is scanned) can be saved on the game at a time, and up to 73 levels can be listed. Each level has its own ID assigned to it, with 1 being the first, and 73 being the last. Level IDs up to 72 can be listed permanently, and level ID 73, regardless of how many other levels are listed, will always be listed as a single level on its own page (which is always the last one, making for a total of 10 pages of levels). It can never be saved permanently to the game pack, will not track clear data, collected Ace Coins or e-Coins, and will be entirely removed from the list should another Level Card be scanned. No official Level Card has ever been assigned with ID 73, making this unused.
- Power-Up Cards upload an item (or a set of items) into either Mario or Luigi's inventory. There is no limit as to how many times an item card can be used. A variant type of Power-Up Cards are Switch Cards, which will trigger something in the game upon being scanned.
- Demo Cards play a short video of Mario speedrunning through a level, collecting enough coins in a certain level to trigger a White Mushroom House, or racking up numerous 1-Up Mushrooms via a special trick.
CardsEdit
The majority of the cards were released in two series (sets) of cards. However, a few cards were included with brand new copies of the game. While most copies only came with two cards, copies purchased at Wal-Mart early on came with an additional five cards.
In Japan, while most cards were still released within two series, things worked differently. Instead of each pack containing every card for that series, the cards were released in a format similar to trading cards, where each pack had five random cards. The cards had a uniformity to their arrangement within the packs, though it changed between Series 1 and 2. In Series 1, it went one level, one demo, three power-ups. In Series 2, it went two levels, two demos, one power-up. In both series, however, an extra level was included if the pack contained a classic level. This deducted a power-up from the pack. Excluding promotional cards and Switch Cards, Japanese power-up cards do not depict or mention what item the player will get, leaving it a surprise until the card is scanned.
All North American cards (excluding promotional cards) were released in Series 1 in Japan.
While 106 cards existed in Japan, only 43 cards were made available to foreign markets. Therefore, there are over twenty levels that remain unavailable to non-Japanese players. Other missing cards include various Switch Cards and Boomerangs. However, all versions of the game on the Wii U Virtual Console support all the e-Reader levels by default including levels formerly exclusive to Japan.
Note: Due to the discontinuation of the e-Reader, newer copies of the game do not come with cards, although the game itself is still compatible with the e-Reader. When ported to the Wii U in 2016, largely because of it lacking e-Reader compatibility, the level cards are pre-included into the World-e section (also marking the first time the Japanese-exclusive cards were made playable and localized outside Japan). However, the player cannot use any item or demo cards.
