World-e: Difference between revisions

{{distinguish2|[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong#Card-e+|e World]] from ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' or [[Orbiting Observatory]] (also known as World E) from ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]}}

'''World-e''' (alternatively '''e-Reader world'''<ref>"'''''Getting Started''' Before you connect your e-Reader to the GBA, scroll down and choose Level Card on the Select a File screen. You’ll be warped to e-Reader world.''" - The ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Player's Guide, page 16.</ref>) is a bonus world, which has an island shaped like a lowercase "e", found only in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The world itself is separate from the main adventure, and can be played at the player's leisure. Although it sports no standard levels within its vicinity, World-e features a [[Warp Zone]] that can warp [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to brand-new levels, provided the player has scanned and loaded the appropriate [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 e-Cards|level cards]] with an [[e-Reader]]. World-e is normally disabled in the European release due to the level cards being unreleased, but can be accessible via exploiting a save file glitch, revealing it had been fully translated and intact.

Hidden within the new levels are [[Advance Coin]]s. If the player accumulates enough Advance Coins, they will gain access to the three [[Toad House]]s in the area, where they can play [[Minigame]]s in exchange for a few of their grand total of [[coin]]s from World-e. Unfortunately, due to the limited support for the e-Reader outside of Japan, non-Japanese players can access fewer levels and only enough Advance Coins to enter the blue house (a digging minigame). Japanese players can get enough to open the red house (ball-throwing minigame) and yellow house (a ''Balloon Fight'' minigame, except going up and with a [[P-Wing]]).

Certain levels have an [[e-Coin]] hidden inside them. e-Coins are usually well hidden, and can only be collected once. They are then put on display in the [[World-e Castle]]. However, due to the premature cancellation of the e-Reader outside of Japan, only three e-Coins can be obtained elsewhere &ndash; the [[Mushroom]], [[Super Leaf]], and [[Super Star|Starman]] e-Coins. Japanese players were able to get the [[Fire Flower]], Mario, Luigi, [[Toad]], and [[Princess Peach]] e-Coins along with the first three.

In all [[Virtual Console]] versions of the game, all levels in World-e are unlocked by default, including all of the Japan exclusive levels. Consequentially, all World-e Toad Houses are also accessible upon gaining the necessary Advance coins.
