In Super Mario Advance, if the player character enters a Magical Potion door at the same time as throwing another potion, the door the character is stepping through will unload. This will cause the character to be stuck in place forever, requiring the game to be reset to continue playing.

Note Peach being unable to move while looking away from the screen in the footage.

✨HAPPY MAR10 DAY EVERYONE!✨

Back in 2022, I drew this piece referencing the first Mario game I got when I was a child.

That game being Super Mario Advance, this game alone introduced me to the series as a whole!

As with the other major characters in the game, Clawgrip was given a voice, where he's performed by Charles Martinet.

Super Mario Advance 3 Yoshi's Island (Game Boy Advance) (2002)

Why did Nintendo remake ALTTP on the gba and not Zelda 1???

Like the gba got a remake of the first pokemon games, the first console Kirby game, the first Metroid game, so many remakes of NES classics including Mario 2 and 3 and they probably would have done 1 if not for Deluxe coming out for the GBC…

Then A link to the past- the 3rd Zelda game and not even an NES game?? By far the original Zelda needed an upgrade more than alttp, so that’s always confused me.

I will always find it so confusing why they never included Super Mario Bros. in the Super Mario Advanced games. Like you include Yoshi's Island, which I wouldn't even consider mainline mario, but not the original SMB?? Or even Lost Levels or smth???

Super Mario Advance introduces a bizarre, rare object that does not exist in any other version of Super Mario Bros. 2, called the Spark Chaser.

It appears as a ball with a face, and when thrown, will follow the perimeters of the room, destroying all enemies it touches on the way. It can only be found inside bonus jars; as such, many players who do not try to enter every single jar may have played through the entire game without ever encountering a Spark Chaser.

A glitch exists whereby a Spark Chaser can be taken out of a jar, which is not intended to be possible, by using Luigi and performing some damage-boosted jumps to get to the top of a jar while carrying a Spark Chaser. When exiting the jar, it is revealed that outside, the Spark Chaser will turn into a reddish Yoshi Egg. The glitch is purely visual, and the Spark Chaser still functions as intended, with the egg rolling around and killing enemies.

A neat observation about the award-winning Nintendo commercial, "School's Out" directed by Anthony Atanasio, also known as the commercial for Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3:

The HQ upload above is from the director's official YouTube channel, which is the first time I've seen it. If you've only seen the broadcast/shortened versions though, you probably didn't notice that between this version and the commonly found uploads, the signs have been altered in post.

I always just assumed this commercial was filmed in Japan with how they showed the Tokyo school at the beginning, but now, looking at some of the shots and set pieces, I feel completely dumb that I didn't realize it sooner: this was all filmed in Hong Kong in 2003.

The director's YouTube channel actually has a behind-the-scenes video, and I highly recommend giving it a watch as a fascinating look at the making of an arguably classic Nintendo commercial, especially to me as a Hong Kong citizen!

So in case you were now curious: where does this final scene with the game store take place in?

...it's this intersection between Matheson Street and Russel Street in Causeway Bay, right next to (the Hong Kong) Times Square.

This is that place today, now occupied by a pharmacy, but still next to a (different) snack stall:

After all these years, I finally beat the worst Mario game.
