Fun fact: switch online uses the GameBoy Player version of super Mario advance 4 which has rumble and uses the original SNES colors. If you played this game on an original gba, the colors would be lighter

GBA/SNES color palette is damn near perfect.

WORLD-e was in the Wii U Virtual Console edition of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

Each version of Super Mario Bros. 3 immediately following the NES version is a marked improvement in terms of graphics, and in Super Mario Advance 4's case, additional levels...

I remember how big a deal Super Mario Bros 3 was when it was originally released 30+ years ago (Jesus I'm old, lol).

This is the hard hitting journalism I come to this channel for.

subbed. You earned it with the well done dialogue, and editing! It all screams blatant effort, and actually different content than saying its iconic 100x over😂

I have a special place for all the Super Mario Advanced games. I had SMB2, SMB3, and World, and it was my introduction to Mario!!! As a kid, I loved the voice acting, and I have no idea why my little brain found it so amusing.

As a certified Luigi nerd, I really enjoy the GBA version the best! Though I get why someone might prefer the others, be it the classic feel of the NES or the better field of view on the SNES Either way, it's great to have all of them available, here's hoping Super Mario Bros. Deluxe gets the same treatment

The GBA version on the switch hands down might be my favorite version to play the game for sure.

I grew up playing all of these as a kid. I still carry the GBA with SMA4 for nostalgia. But it's been so long playing the console versions of the game itself. I can't even remember when I last played the All Stars version of SMB3. But regardless, it's such a classic 2D game. Great content, btw. You earned another subscriber in me. Keep up the awesome content. 👏🏻

its crazy no one on youtube has ever done a full super mario all stars vs. super mario advance series comparison video

I really enjoyed Mario 3. Thanks for this video. I'm also a new subscriber. ❤

I GOT SUPER MARIO ADVANCE 4 FOR CHRISTMAS WHEN I WAS 14 BACK ON DECEMBER 25TH OF 2003: INFINITE MOVIES.

My favorite version of SMB3 is the NES version because I really like its artstyle and it has the best physics out of the three versions, and this version of the game feels the most replayable to me. It's also the most challenging version of the game which I like. My least favorite version is probably the All Stars version mainly because Mario in that version looks very off without gloves, and that version has a few typos in it. The physics in that version also feel a little sluggish compared to the other versions.

My recommendations are as follows: Famicom: One of only two ways to play with original difficulty (getting hit with a secondary powerup reduces you to small Mario) and 8-bit graphics and sound. NES: 8-bit graphics and sound in English SNES: World (but not level) select, updated graphics without screen crunch Super Mario Advance 4 (GBA): Original hardware, world and level select, e-reader card effects (harder than Famicom difficulty in some ways but easier in others, SMB2 vegetables in levels, different Luigi physics, P bar halved, slower timer, 1-ups replaced with 3-ups, coins from defeated enemies like SMW). E-reader powerups like 100-up, boomerang and cape. Cons are screen crunch, worse audio quality and level cards required for e-reader levels , card effects and powerups (unless you use an emulator to scan them). Super Mario Advance 4 (Wii U/Switch): All e-reader levels unlocked but no e-reader card effects or powerups.

My favorite video game. Sure there are better narratives and graphics out there today, but the secrets, creative ideas, challenges, and many power ups make it the most repayable and enjoyable experience for me to go back to

It really bothered me for some reason how Mario and Luigi didn't have gloves in the snes version, but they added this in the gba version. Gba version also does several cool touch ups like the dust effects from changing directions also applies to sliding down slopes too. And the E reader levels, especially the smb1 remakes use a gba-ified remix of the SNES smb1 theme. Which is cool and makes it slightly easier to make a mario advance 5, lol.

My first game that I ever owned. Super Mario Bros 3 is the platformer that I judge all other platformers against. Played the heck out of it on my GBA SP growing up, and my cartridge is still working.

I want to like the All Stars version but because of the added X and Y buttons, Nintendo decided to mess up the action buttons. I like the GBA version the best because it has the update graphics from the SNES version but only has A and B buttons meaning that the actions are returned to the NES button layout which I like a lot better

I love the world 4 map music on GBA

WAY BEYOND ALL THREE: INFINITE MOVIES.

The GBA version is the one I recommend because of the extra content (assuming you have some way to unlock them), as well as the quick save feature which allows you to quit and return to the same point at any time. That said, the NES version is still pretty friendly with unlimited continues, lack of a save feature aside. Mario 3 was never a brutally punishing game to begin with, and the remakes don't really change much about that, so a begginer can still play the original version without worrying that the game is gonna set them back too much. Any version of this game is a fine way to play it.

My favorite version is GBA version, once you complete it you get an option to travel to any world and play any level, like in SMW, once you complete all the levels you can move throught the game like in SMW :D

I have a bigger nostalgia for the snes version thx to fangames like smbx, but i still prefer the GBA version cause of the extra levels and Luigi. Honestly why argue let's play all 3 XD.

I like advance 4 the best for Mario 3! I have an NES and we bought Mario 3 from 2nd & Charles last year, but the game didn't work, so we returned it. In 2016, we bought Mario all stars for the Wii in Toys R us! This is how I first experienced the first 3 (4 if you count lost levels) Mario games! I remember 3 being my favorite of the bunch! Than my dad found his SNES (which surprisingly wasn't yellowed) and that's where I played Mario world! I was hooked! I was literally 7 and playing Mario world. I remember I spent a long time going to the top secret area and just getting 100 lives! I keep forgetting that I can go to my basement whenever i want to play these games, which is now leading me to buy Mario advance 4 for my DS Lite!

Mario 3 is goated. I own all three versions and love each one.

In my opinion, because it's what I grew up with, GBA wins. All are great, but that one holds a special place in my heart. Plus, the end credit song is amazing if you complete all levels.

best experience I had was playing the original on a PSP with an amazing NES emulator that not only with a tap of a button allowed us to change the screen from wide, to 4:3, mirrored, etc, it also had a render extend feature where the parts of the level on the sides of the screen wouldn't pop in on the edges like they usually do. I think it also had a rewind button which was, well cheating, but cool too lol

What is the song in the ending?????

Was the GBA version of SMB3 ever ported for Switch? That’s gotta be my favorite version of it by a mile.

The best way to play is with an NES, the original and a CRT TV. That last thing is the most important. Been replaying Mario64 recently and games designed for old televisions just look, feel and sound much better the way they were meant to be played

I love advance 4. Nice to play on small screen.

i wish you actually talked about the differences between all stars other than it just looks different. we can all see what it looks like

Mario Bros 3 was the first game i have ever played on the nes i remember as a kid getting the nes for Christmas me and my brothers and it came with Mario Bros 3 me my Brothers would fight over who wanted to play as Mario nobody wanted to play as Luigi only Mario

Original sound is the best, but added voices is awesome, updated background is best, original Mario is best but updated Luigi is awesome. Like the new ability to save. Like the new levels. Like it being portable. Overall I like the original the best.

Which one’s the best? They all are *round of applause*

I have played the NES version, the GBA version and the All-Stars version of the game and I can honestly say that I prefer the NES version of the game.

That’s a lot of Mario 3

I just 100% the E world a few months ago

Can you please do a video on Mario 2???

In All-Stars though, WHERE ARE THEIR GLOVES!?

I got the SNES version. From all stars.

The best version would be a remake using the Mario Maker 2, or 3, engine. I fully believe Nintendo needs to remaster all their old 2D games with MM 2, or a possible 3, to give us the greatest versions ever and would allow the older sounds and music to please everyone

For me I prefer the GBA version of super Mario bros 3 it’s so much better than the other 2 versions of Super Mario Bros 3

The advance was the best release with e reader features. This was also the only game Mario could wear the cape and carry a vegetable over his head in the same game. 😜😜😜😜😜

original NES version

I need cheat codes ( the one"s I'm putting are not working)

SNES and GBA versions are maybe better games but they miss the "WHOA! factor" I always get when I play the NES version. Everytime I play it, I cannot help myself thinking "This is an 8-bit game. How the hell can be an 8 bit game be SO good and SO replayable 35+ years after realease?"... and when you think about it, there aren't that many 35+ year games you truly love playing or replaying for other reasons than nostalgia.

Luigi nerd very happy

Nes version is a masterpiece.

I'll never understand why most people seem to prefer the NES versions of the classic Mario games. They look worse, they sound worse, they control a little worse (at least the original and Lost Levels), they don't have save features, etc.

Luigi is better than Mario. I am not a nerd 😂

I like super Mario bros 3

NES any day

GBA VERSION HAS WHITE GLOOOVEEESSSSS!!!!!

Wii u had the eReader levels

Why wasn’t super Mario bros on the GBA?

Definitely the NES original for me as the SNES and GBA versions feel totally downgraded sound wise plus the airships in those versions are seriously boring due to all being the same colour, whereas the NES has different coloured ones which is a nice touch

None of the gba versions are worth it to me because they all have way crappier sound quality. This is coming from someone who was only 7 or 8 when I had all of them for gba, while also getting a hand me down SNES years before that and growing up with the All-Stars versions. All-Stars is the best imo.

I play the GBA version And for me it's the best

In my opinion the Super Mario All*Stars version is the superior version, followed by the NES original. The GBA version tries to be the Super NES version but fails technically in just about every way possible. Not only are the graphics and sound inferior due to hardware limitations, IMO they have made it even worse by adding annoying voice clips every time you jump. Literally the *only* thing this version has going for it are the e-Reader levels. For those go ahead and fire up the GBA version of the game, but for the main game you're probably better off just sticking to the NES or Super NES version of the game.

NES

Mario bros 1 and 2 are just the same game with 2 just being a harder version

En lo personal, me quedo con las versiones de NES y SNES. La conversión de GBA nunca me gustó mucho, pues los niveles añadidos desentonan con respecto a los niveles originales y el recorte de pantalla, me resulta especialmente molesto. Por último, decir que la calidad de sonido de GBA deja bastante que desear para mi gusto.

GBA is the definitive version

Nes

Doesn't answer the question in the title. >_

If I were to rank then all it would go 1) GBA 2) NES 3) All Stars The NES version has the better player physics and (imo) better presentation. Both 16bit versions made some changes I don't like, for example they standardized the unique red and orange fire flower design that was in the original, and standardized a lot of stuff in general. I get it was to have a more consistent brand but what I like about classic Mario games is how unique they all feel from each other and these little changes kinda take that aspect away in some regard. GBA and SNES have the same exact physics (unless you play as Luigi in World E, where he has his own physics) and look almost the same with the only real differences being Luigis unique jump animation, a better Peach sprite, and the addition of gloves on the brothers. All of that considered plus the fact that advance 4 has all that extra content (and theres even more if you use the E Reader cards on the original Japanese release) I feel like objectively its the best option in terms of content, but I do admittedly usually play the nes version more just because it looks and plays better to me.

The gba version is the best

Navigable 😡😡😡

SNES is the best one by far
