Developer: Nintendo R&D2
Publisher: Nintendo
Platform: Game Boy Advance
Release: October 20, 2003
Summary
A port of the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 3 for the GBA. There were a slew of new levels added through e-Reader support and cards. Probably the most packed port of the Super Mario Bros. games on the GBA.
Acquisition
I remember buying this with my red Game Boy Advance SP at Target. I am guessing I bought it for MSRP, which is why I wrote down the $35, but it may have been on sale, since I also remember the likes of Pokémon LeafGreen being out as well.
Memories
This was really the first Mario game I poured countless hours into. I recall playing it at my dojo in-between sessions. One of the kids said he had the NES game and noticed that sprites of the kings were different. I wouldn't learn until much later that this was because it was the SNES version, not the NES version I was playing.
