The game was rereleased on the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in Japan on April 3, 2014; in North America on December 25, 2014; and in Europe and Australia in March 2016. It was later rereleased on the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s [[Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online]] service on May 26, 2023.

The same power-ups from the original release are retained, including the basic power-ups of the [[Super Mushroom]], [[Fire Flower]], and [[Super Star|Starman]]; and the [[Cape Feather]], introduced in the original game. The Super Mushroom increases Mario or Luigi's size; the Fire Flower gives him a fireball attack; the Starman makes him invincible; and the Cape Feather allows him to fly and to attack enemies by spinning. Also returning is [[Yoshi]], the Mario brothers' sidekick and riding mount from the original ''Super Mario World'', who is able to eat most enemies and gain special abilities from holding colored [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] shells in his mouth. The game also contains blue, yellow, and red Yoshis, which become available to Mario and Luigi from any level in the game after he has found their eggs in [[Star World]] and fed them enough enemies or objects to grow them to maturity. When holding any Koopa shell in his mouth, these Yoshis gain the ability that corresponds to its own color, in addition to that of the shell.

==Changes from the original game==

[[File:SMA2 Donut Plains 1 change.png|thumb|left|An example of the redesigned levels: In [[Donut Plains 1]], this pair of pipes is added, likely to prevent Mario or Luigi from abruptly grabbing the [[key]] and entering the [[keyhole]]. (This particular change is exclusive to the North American version.)]]

====Level design====

Notable changes include:

*Certain levels, such as the [[Cheese Bridge Area]], have a lowered enemy and obstacle count.

*The pitch of the death jingle is increased by five {{wp|semitone|half step}}s.

*While Mario/Luigi is in [[Balloon Mario|balloon form]], the tempo of the music is decreased, and a warning sound is added for when the balloon effect is about to expire.
