Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 e-Reader cards
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 features e-Reader compatibility, in that it can link up to a second GameBoy Advance with an e-Reader. Upon scanning in one of three types of cards, something will then be triggered in the game.
- Power-Up Cards: When one of these is scanned, it will 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: Plays a movie of either Mario speed-running through a level, collecting enough coins in a certain level to trigger a Blue Toad House, or racking up numerous 1-Ups via a special trick.
- Level Cards: Uploads a brand new level into the game, which can be played in World-e.
Cards
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.
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.
