I grew up playing games on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), most of my favourite games when I was younger included my favourite plumbers Mario and Luigi and their dinosaur friend Yoshi, and of course Princess Peach, who always seems to be running into bad luck and getting captured by the villain in this game King Bowser. I honestly spent hours trying to rescue the Princess in games such as Super Mario Bros 1, 2 and 3, Super Mario World 1 and 2, The Lost Levels and of course Mario 64 when Mario became for 'advanced' on the Nintendo 64 console.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 is, among other things, a mouthful to name. Don't let that put you off though, it's a great game.

When the SNES came out one of the best games out was Mario 3. But this tops even that version. Super Mario Advance 4 is a combo of two mario titles: Super Mario 3 and the original Mario Brothers. The game features the full versions of both AND so much more. With two players attached via the gameboy link cable you can battle each other in Mario Brothers. Additionally in Super Mario 3 you can play as Mario or Mario and Luigi. If you are lucky enough to own the eReader device and some Mario 3 cards you can add extra levels and items for that edge in Super Mario 3.
