Super Paper Mario Official Game Guide

Advantages: Great game, nice graphics, hours of entertainment
Disadvantages: Might be slightly hard for younger children

...Great game, Mario is out to save the universe from Count Bleck. so with some help from his friends (bowser, luigi and peach,) and a various different pixels that are collected along the way which aid the gang in the quest. With the wii it adds a new dimension to the game from playing in 2D to 3D depending on what your next task is, this can make the game challenging. Mario is the only character able to switch between 2D and 3D to get to various different areas in game, Peach has the ability to jump long distances Bowser has breath of fire, Luigi can jump really high. Overall very enjoyable, good story line, nice graphics, hours of entertainment and challenging enough to make it enjoyable without it being a chore. Would definetly recommend... Read review

Disadvantages: it's the same as the SNES version

..., bottom-bouncing paradise. Forest levels give way to watery levels where you have to swim, and the boss’ castle stages are masterpieces of level design. However hard the levels or bosses may be. Super Mario Advance never feels frustrating, and preservation wins out when I enter an awe-inspiring new scene. A cute map guides you and offers a choice of different routes for you to take, while delightful subquests and bonus levels add almost RPG levels of exploration (and RPG’s are my favourite type of games.) Super Mario Advance 2 is crammed with so many scenarios, it’s hard to they’re all on a handheld cartridge. One minute I was battling a Koopa Trooper by throwing fireballs, the next I was flying across a level trying to find Yoshi, Mario’s dino chum. In terms extras, the GBA conversion features the original... Read review
