Super Mario Bros. 3: Super Mario Advanced 4

Pros: A big, innovaative game

Cons: later worlds are tough. And I mean old school tough!

When you first start this game, it will feel the same, yet in someway, completely diffrent then past mario games.Levels will feature catles, forests, gaint versions of enemies, a fish wanting to eat you, platform hopping and riding, running super fast over chasms, fighting bosses on flying fortresses, and on and on. Instead of riding yoshi or flying with a cape, you'll get to use a leaf to transform into a racoon, so you can whip enemies with your tail (albeit slow, though) and you can run really fast and start to fly through the air, so you can skip as much of the level as you please (which is really helpful later on in the game). There is also suits Mario (or if your playing two-player, Mario and Luigi) can slip on to gain special abilities.Put on the frog suit, and you can jump really high and swim faster, Put on the Hammer Bros. Suit and you can run through the level pounding enimies with hammers you chucked at them, or put on the tanooki suit to turn into a statue and enemies will glide by unnoticing you! You can even ride a gaint koopa's shoe, and step on spiky hazards! this is just a taste of this world you will enter while playing this game. The only minior concern is that the music starts to reapeat itself later on, but it's good enough to listen to over and over ( the dungeon theme is exspecially good) i hope you deside to play this truly great game and add it to your collection this holiday season to play forever! ...
