Forums - Nintendo - The Super Mario Advance Title Flaws!

a.l.e.x59 on 15 January 2008
Don't take this thread seriously. It is pointless, but humorous. I'm sick and tired of the bull shit replies, about how stupid this thread is. I don't care if it's stupid. Okay? Man, those replies are worse than the subject of this thread, itself!

Okay... Seriously... How does a simple, series of titles, get so messed up? It's as if Nintendo kept changing their minds on how the titles should be, after each game is released, so that this atomic mess is created! Look at this mess!

Super Mario Advance
Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

Let's go through this mess, in order...

Super Mario Advance

Officially, there is only one part to this title, "Super Mario Advance," yet on the box, the title is of two parts, "Super Mario Advance: Super Mario Bros. 2." The other, three games, officially, have two parts to their titles, so why not this one? This is just imbalanced.

This is not the real Super Mario Bros. 2. This is Doki Doki Panic! Why did they make an enhanced version, of a fake Mario game? Why couldn't this have been the real Super Mario Bros. 2? Guess what? The real Super Mario Bros. 2, made its way to the Gameboy Advance, only in Japan, as part of the Classic NES Series, with no enhanced graphics. It could have replaced this fake, had enhanced graphics, and fit into the Super Mario Advance series, instead of deliberately avoiding it.

Where is the original Super Mario Bros? Why is this, "Super Mario Advance: Super Mario Bros. 2," when it should have been "Super Mario Advance: Super Mario Bros?" Guess what? Super Mario Bros., made its way to the Gameboy Advance, deliberately missing the Super Mario Advance series, to become a  part of the Classic NES Series, with no enhanced graphics. It is graphically equivilent to Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, which was on the Gameboy Color, and had Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario Bros. 2, combined into one game, unlike this one. It could have been the first game, of the Super Mario Advance series, with upgraded graphics. 

Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2

The "Super Mario Advance 2" part of the title, should come before the "Super Mario World" part of the title, just as, unofficially, "Super Mario Advance," comes before "Super Mario Bros. 2."

Because the first game in the series should have been "Super Mario Advance: Super Mario Bros.," this should have been "Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario Bros. 2." It could have been an enhanced port of the real Super Mario Bros. 2, and not the fake one, "Doki Doki Panic."

Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3

First of all, "Super Mario Advance 3" should come before "Yoshi's Island." Second of all, the "Yoshi's Island" part of the title should be "Super Mario World 2." Third of all, this should really be "Super Mario Advance 3: Super Mario Bros. 3."

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

Okay, at least "Super Mario Advance 4" comes before "Super Mario Bros. 3." But, this should really be "Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario World."

Super Mario Advance 5: Super Mario World 2

This game would have existed, if none of these problems had occured!

Now, all titles should have only one part to their titles, so that they look like this:

Super Mario Advance
Super Mario Advance 2
Super Mario Advance 3
Super Mario Advance 4
Super Mario Advance 5

Nice, and clean, instead of the pile of bull shit that it really is! Now, where does Super Mario 64 DS fit in all of this? How about, "Super Mario DS: Super Mario 64," or, perhaps, just "Super Mario DS?," so that it connects with the entire series of games? Super Mario 64 DS sounds a little awkward.

One more thing... Remember the Super Mario Land series, and the Wario Land series? Guess what? They are both, meshed together, in the middle!

The Super Mario Land Series:

Super Mario Land
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

The Mesh!:

Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land

The Wario Land Series:

Wario Land 2
Wario Land 3
Wario Land 4

Well... Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land, 100% Wario Land, so why not just remove the whole "Super Mario Land 3" part of the title? Why the "mesh?"


Don't get me started with the Final Fantasy games...

What the heck are you talking about?

A) The first Mario Advance didn't have a subtitle, not a huge deal, it did say what game was inside right on the cover though. For future Mario Advances, they put the game's name right in the title to avoid confusion. As easy as that. They don't all appear the same, but rather, they improved on the original title formula. Improvement IS possible.

B) The Mario Advance games are GBA ports of the most popular Mario games. It's not about taking them in order or anything like that.

C) Super Mario Bros. 2 in the US is the Doki Doki Panic Mario game. It was on the NES, it always will be. We played it as a Mario game and we remember it as a Mario game, get over it.

D) You take this stuff too seriously.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

You have too much free time, and waste too much of it on pointless, irrelevant, trivial things.



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

This has to be one of the strangest threads I've ever seen.

The reason that the first Super Mario Advance wasn't a remake of the original Super Mario Bros. was that such a game already existed as Super Mario Bros. Deluxe for the GBC, as you mentioned.

Also, how could Mario World and Yoshi's Island be part of the Classic NES series when they weren't even NES games? ??? Most of the classic NES games only saw release in Japan, anyway.

Seriously, we got four good portable remakes of classic Mario games, why complain? You're really grasping at straws here, to say the least.

I do dislike Super Mario 64 DS, but only due to the lack of proper controls for the game. Other than that, it was well-done.



Hates Nomura.

What the heck are you talking about?

A: "The first Mario Advance didn't have a subtitle, not a huge deal, it did say what game was inside right on the cover though." Why would you state, what I have already stated, in my post?

"For future Mario Advances, they put the game's name right in the title to avoid confusion. As easy as that." Okay, but they should have planned out the titles of the series, ahead of time. They have created confusion, but making the later games in the series, have two parts to their titles, instead of one. The very first game, should have, officially, had two parts to its name, instead of one, and have only the box art, have, unofficially, the two parts of the name. So, no, it's not as easy as that, for they messed up the entire series of titles, in too many ways.

"They don't all appear the same, but rather, they improved on the original title formula. Improvement IS possible." They did not improve it, they imbalanced it. All titles should either have two parts to their titles, or better yet, one. It should not be mixed up like this. And, occasionally, the first part of the title, comes before the second part of the title, to create this unnecessary, randomness.

B: "The Mario Advance games are GBA ports of the most popular Mario games. It's not about taking them in order or anything like that." This is incorrect, for the original Super Mario Bros. game, and the real Super Mario Bros. 2, in Japan, did not make it into the series, but instead, deliberately missed it, to join the NES Classic Series. Because Super Mario Bros. 2, in North America, is not the real one, only two, true Mario games, made it into the series. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is also not a Mario game, but a Yoshi game. Never-the-less, it is not about taking them in order, yes, but series of titles, the order of the games, and the fact that some games are missing, is too unforgiving, and this thread focuses on that aspect, and not the games themselves.

C: "Super Mario Bros. 2 in the US is Doki Doki Panic Mario game. It was on the NES, it always will be. We played it as a Mario game and we remember it as a Mario game, get over it." Yes, I already mentioned, in the original post, that it is "Doki Doki Panic." Yes, it will always be on the NES... That is obvious... Yes, we remember it as a Mario game... That is also obvious... Get over what? The truth, about how it is a fake? I don't care, but that is the truth. It is not a real Mario game, therefore, it counts as another "mistake," for we could have had the real Super Mario Bros. 2, on the Gameboy Advance, as a Super Mario Advance game, and not an NES Classic Series game, in Japan. I mentioned it, just to add to the list of errors.

D: "You take this stuff too seriously." Well, that all depends on how you read, what I write. You can interpret it as serious, or not. I just decided to make a post, regarding the subject. I do not take it seriously. Just because, I accurately, pointed out all the errors, does not mean that I take it seriously, but it only means that I am accure... Is that also, not obvious?

I wrote this in the middle of the night, and it took only 30 minutes, while you were sleeping, so don't tell me that I wasted my time. Yes, it is pointless, irrelevent, and a "trivial thing." Does that matter? Nope!

Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 is favorite.
