'''''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''''' is a [[reissue]] of the 1988 [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]] and is the fourth and final entry in the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]]. It boasts similar graphics and sound to the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version, and it makes use of the [[e-Reader]] to support additional content. It features a remake of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' identical to that found in the ''Super Mario Advance'' games that came before it. It also has rumble support if played on a [[Game Boy Player]]. | '''''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''''' is a 2003 [[reissue]] of the 1988 [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]] and is the fourth and final entry in the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]].

The first release of the game was bundled with two e-Reader cards. Two groups of cards, referred to as series, were also sold as separate products. By scanning these special cards into the e-Reader, players are able to unlock items, videos, and, most significantly, new [[level]]s in the game. One notable item is the [[Cape Feather]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', which allows [[Mario]] to transform into [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]]. There were also two Switch cards that the player could activate and deactivate the effects of by scanning them: the [[Orange Switch]] and the [[Blue Green Switch]]. The e-Reader feature is still present in the European version, but it is disabled and inaccessible, despite being fully translated. This is due to the e-Reader not releasing in Europe, despite being planned to. The e-Reader's functionality can be forcibly accessed in the European version by corrupting a save file.<ref>[http://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Advance_4:_Super_Mario_Bros._3#Miscellaneous Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 - The Cutting Room Floor]</ref> | The first release of the game was bundled with two e-Reader cards.

<blockquote><i>The [[Mushroom Kingdom]] has remained a peaceful place, thanks to the brave deeds of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. However, the Mushroom Kingdom forms an entrance to the [[Mushroom World]], a place where all is not well. [[Bowser]] sent his [[Koopalings|seven children]] to make mischief in this normally peaceful land.

=== | ===Graphics and user interface=== | ||
The sprites have a slightly brighter color, but it is not as noticeable as in the other ''Super Mario Advance'' games. The [[Invincible Mario|invincibility]] palettes are even brighter, making Mario/Luigi colored like they were in ''Super Mario Advance''. This can be reverted by using a Warp Pipe, taking damage, powering-up, or exiting/clearing the course. If the game is played on a Game Boy Player, however, the palettes revert to those of the ''All-Stars'' version. | *The sprites have a slightly brighter color, but it is not as noticeable as in the other ''Super Mario Advance'' games.

==e-Reader | ==e-Reader compatibility== | ||
''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. As the e-Reader was never released in Europe, this feature is absent in the European version of the game. | |||

====Level Cards==== | |||
A Level Card uploads a brand-new level into the game, which can be played in [[World-e]]. Only 32 levels can be saved on the game at a time, and up to 73 levels can be listed. | |||
====Power-Up Cards==== | |||
A Power-Up Card uploads 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 Card]]s, which will trigger something in the game upon being scanned. | |||
====Demo Cards==== | |||
A Demo Card plays a movie of Mario {{wp|speedrunning}} through a level, collecting enough coins in a certain level to trigger a [[Toad House#White Mushroom House|White Mushroom House]], or racking up numerous [[1-Up Mushroom]]s via a special trick. | |||
