One cool tidbit you missed about why they included the same Mario Bros game over and over. They were all intercompatible with each other, meaning you didn't need 4 copies of the exact same game to play together with friends.

The realization that the stage lighting at the beginning was to crop the screen to compare screen resolutions just blew my mind. I’ve been playing this game since I was 5 years old and I never made the connection.

Just what I needed.

The ability to control your jumps in Mario Bros. was first added to the FDS version called Kaettekita Mario Bros., and later the European version of Mario Bros on NES from 1993.

As someone who was 12 at the time and hadn't played 2 before then, Advance served as a great introduction to the game. I did have to turn the volume down when my parents were around (the voices).

I’ve never minded the voices at all. After playing all the Advance Series remakes, playing the originals and/or All-Star versions felt a little lonelier to me. I’ve always really adored the Mario cast’s voices, so that may contribute to why I’m overly blind to the compression in these games.

Well this was the only one which really upgraded it. SMB 3 they just added new levels if you had the e-reader, and added a few extra slot machine games but that's about it really. Super Mario World is identical to the SNES version from what I can see (decided to play it and beat it recently cos I'm used to the SNES version). But SMB 2 advance? Yeah they added a ton of stuff to this, and I regard it as the best version despite screen crunch.

Nice, these gameboy advance ports were my first introduction to the 8 and 16 bit nintendo games. Looking forward to the super Mario advance 4 video, I remember enjoying those e-reader levels and being baffled as a kid when I couldn't find any new cards

"They absolutely will not shut up" is one of my favorite individual Works lines. It's so blunt

I just discovered this channel a few days ago. This video in particular hit me with an incredible wave of nostalgia. A This was the very first game I ever owned for a portable system, as I finally got a Game Boy Advance SP (the model with the frontilit screen RIP) on my ninth birthday after months of begging. I played Super Mario Advance for months and never got close to completing it - I later discovered that Super Mario Advance 2-4 were much more my speed - but it didn’t even matter. The fact that I could be so enraptured with such a simple, gimmickless platformer almost twenty years after its initial release shows how truly timeless Nintendo properties can be at their best.

I can't express how overjoyed I'm that you are covering GBA library. One of my most cherished game system and library.

The voices were the best part though!!

Color TV Game 6 Works is coming any second now (feel free to use that idea for an April Fools video or something).

GBA was one of my favorite systems of all time, nostalgia playing a big part, so I'm happy to see you tackling it. I really appreciate you turning your passion into something informative and entertaining, every video gives me this warm feeling inside akin to catching up with an old friend.

I'm an oddball but I love the voices as it adds a feel of excitement. I'm working on a modded dr mario arcade 1up cabinet only for emulation and this is definitely on my list.. just the color restoration mod is being added

Cool to see a new series! I owned a Gameboy Advance and it was my first handheld but only got it in early 2005. By the end of 2005, I got a DS so I never used the GBA much outside of the Sonic Advance Trilogy and a few Mario and Kirby games.

I love this version of the game, scratchy voices & all!

I'm glad these Works series are the work you enjoy doing most, because I definitely enjoy watching them. I can't think of anyone I'd trust more to do a Chrongaming series. Or, like, half a dozen Chrongaming series'.

Thanks! You should still listen to Retronauts, though! I also love creating that.

I unfortunately never got to play the game, but I LOVE the voices!! 😂 Probably one of my favorite aspects of this game; the other being how unique and whimsical is looks & plays like compared to almost every single Mario game.

Was linked here from another KZread video. You have a nice voice and good editing or production values (idk what to call it lol) so I’m gonna stick around and hope u complete this big GBA backlog. The GBA was my childhood Nintendo console even if it was a handheld 😂

YES!!!!! My very first handheld system (even though I was a big gamer and in college at the time) handhelds never appealed to me until my then girl friend brought this for me on my bday the year the Gsmeboy Advance was released. I love this system!!!

This channel rocks, definitely staying tuned for future videos.

I thought I was the only one who noticed the resolution bragging in the beginning of the game. Awesome video!

"I can't exactly make a living doing this." It's a shame, you put more work into these than many KZreadrs who do!

Alternatively, there's some truly invaluable rom patches available that dummy out the voice clips as well as reduce the game's brightness level to match the original SNES version.

I LOVE this series "Game Boy Works Advance" ! Please keep going on (^_^) P.S. If you also talk about some TRUE 3D GBA games (among the other arguments) i think i could potentially die of joy !

LOL. Around 9:08 when you said "Oh gawd the voices" I too said the EXACT same statement at that same moment. Around this time when I played this game it dawned upon me that game companies like to re-hash their old products whether that's for nostalgia or whatever reason. Either way the experience I take is to pick and choose what I spend my money on.

This was actually my first GBA game.

This was my first ever Mario game so I’m glad you went in depth on it!! For the record I never made it past the 2nd or 3rd boss back then 😂

Now we're getting into something that I'm very familiar with. I bought my Game Boy Advance in July 2001 since I had enough money left over after a massive religious gathering in Atlanta. The day I got it, I bought the see-through purple GBA (Glacier) along with the next game coming up for GBA Works (Circle of the Moon), Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2, and Rayman Advance. That time brings back good memories.

One day I should sit down and play all of the enhanced Mario remakes. I skipped out on all of them because I didn't realize just how much extra stuff was added.

Super Mario advance was the first Mario game I ever owned, and I hold it very dear to my heart. The voices are pretty funny imo and I wouldn’t change it, but I can see why some people would think it’s stupid.

Great episode! I remember playing the crap out of this game as a kid. I even played a lot of the Mario Bros. multiplayer mode with my brother and my cousin. The graphics and sounds were so impressive to me at the time. Looking at it now though, a lot of the "additions" to the gameplay do seem pretty superficial. I like that way of framing the GBA as a weird mix of old and new. So many games were ports or sequels, maybe Golden Sun was the only unique experience I had on the system.
