- In this video we highlight 14 details in the World-E levels of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, originally accessible only through scanning collectable cards (many of which only available in Japan) with the Nintendo e-Reader peripheral, and now conveniently available on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
First Super Mario Bros Deluxe and now this? I’m loving these vids focused on less thought of ports!
The E-Levels easily gives you a good reason to play advance 4 and i love it.
Yes, thought it was already the best version of SMB3, IMO
@@Minako_Meleph That do be true.
How to open world e ? I finshed play world 1 to 8
@@reemalalyani7087You need an E-Reader or you can use switch online to get a version of advance 4 with World E unlocked.
E-reader in the of version. Should already be open in the Wii u and online service versions
Why'd the Porcupos get their palette changed to look more like Sonic the Hedgehog?
Being able to throw the boomerangs is my favorite detail from these levels. It's like a precursor to the boomerang suit from 3D Land.
Because Coldsteel ain’t as cool
To look more like the nes color pallette I think
@@SIG7Pro pssss nothing personnel kid
I'm surprised they didn't straight up introduce a Boomerang Bro power-up in the e-reader levels, since SMB3 did have the Hammer Bro Suit.
I bought Super Mario Advance 4 in Wii U's virtual console back when Wii U's eshop was still open, and it included all the e-Reader levels!
Super Mario Advance 4’s World-e is essentially its own new Super Mario game, essentially like being the “Sonic Mania” in concept, being that there is something from EVERY mainline platformer up to that point, and the levels are unique and based on said games, even from Super Mario Bros. 2/USA, and some in-game data reveals that there was supposed to be some extra content from SMW2: Yoshi’s Island as well, but that all was sadly cut.
The Bumpties and the pinball flippers from Yoshi's Island do make it into SMA4 levels.
@@mikebode7560 I know about those. I said some EXTRA features.
SMBX vibes
The E-Reader levels give Mario Players even more of a reason to bask in the sheer amount of new discoveries that can be made 🎮
it is NUTS how a scene like 5:30 was locked behind these cards that so few people had
From exclusive power-ups to challenging puzzles, these levels showcase Nintendo's commitment to delivering fresh experiences even within beloved classics.
Not hating but did ChatGPT write this?
@@CK-iv1lq I think so tbh, its channel appears to be some weird Mario animation channel content farm
3:51 Sonic! Sonic! We have to stop dr. Eggman!
I really wish these recent releases of SMA4 would have a way to let you use the exclusive e-reader objects, like the cape, in the main SMB3 game. That was something that the cards let you do back then.
The GBA SP was my first ever console, with Advance 4 being one of my first games.
That special island with the locked houses, the empty castle…it had always intrigued me, but I could never find a way to do something aside from enjoying the music there.
Years later I found out (thanks internet) that there was something called e-reader cards & that those were what had kept this special worlds secrets from me, but finding a way to obtain them, especially after so long….not a goal in the realm of possibilities.
When GBA Classic came to Nintendo Switch Online, me and my brother, after 20 long years, were finally able to play those stages for ourselves.
To see the craziness and crossovers that Nintendo filled them with.
It was quite literally a childhood dream come true~
I think _technically_ all these items and enemies are cross-overs with the other Super Mario Advance games, although these are obviously largely based on the SFC versions. Hence the giant turnip. My guess is all SMA games (besides Yoshi’s Island) were developed/ported on the same engine which made such custom levels with legacy gameplay features from SMA and SMA 2 easier to conceive and include in SMA4. Mario’s plucking ability really makes one wonder what could be possible with a Super Mario USA theme in the next Mario Maker.
The Boomerang is completely original to SMA4
@@JacobNintendoNerd99 Sure, I meant all the comparisons made with other games in the video, which are made with the SFC versions instead of the more recent GBA versions. For example, the porcupo comparison made me curious whether the porcupos had already seen their color changed in SMA (and the answer is no, SMA keeps the Super Famicom palette, only slightly brighter).
There are actually some Yoshi’s Island assets in SMA4e. One of the ice levels has Bumptys!
@@kenji6492 Neat! Never realized that.
@@chazmaru9583 Yea! I’m so glad SMA4e is widely available. It feels like a culmination of the entire Advance series and a sequel to Mario 3 we otherwise wouldn’t have.
See? Even Nintendo is constantly just remaking World 1-1
It is a masterclass in level design, I feel Green Hill is more arbitrary
@@pez.emikazoo I was more drawing reference to the fact that novice level creators in Super Mario Maker often just remake World 1-1
I had all the usa released e-cards for this game as a kid. The coolest part besides these levels is adding all the powerups and features from mario 2 and mario world to this game.
I had the luck of having the e-reader and every SMB3 card. Those levels were/are a blast to play, and I'm glad Nintendo has embraced them in recent years.
I never had this game on GBA, but I got it when it came to the Wii U's eshop. That version even came with all of the e-reader levels included, which was very nice.
Super Mario Advance 4's World E is basically paying homage to Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario Bros Deluxe and the previous Super Mario Advance games
So many things I didn't know about all the time 7:37 and that surprises me the most I thought the boomerang brother was in Mario 3D Land first AND YOU COULD THROW A BUMMERANG IM A OLD 2D GAME WOW
Considering that this was the last mario advance game, it's impressive but not really too shocking that they managed to sneak features from SMB2's and world's advance ports into the e-reader levels
I'm so glad there's a discussion about this, I loved most of these levels
I forgot how good the scanning music built into the e-Reader was 🎶 ( 0:10 )
The World-e levels are incredible !
A mix of all the classic games in just one.

What a thorough rundown! Really enjoyed this. Nintendo was clearly having fun.
This is one thing I always wished I got to experience as a kid. I remember getting the cards in my box for the game, but I never saved up for an e-reader to actually play them. I'm glad Nintendo decided to include the World-e stuff in the NSO port of this game on Switch.
Since i've played this remake of SMB3, i was thinking some of these ideas predicting the later installments for the NSMB series. Nice to have that Cape detail touch. 👌
3:50
😂Hey look it sonic😂
As cool as it is, it’s still a shame that not all E-cards were released making the original Gameboy Advance game E-levels unlockable. The Virtual Console version on the Wii U lucky has all E-levels unlocked right at the start. Shame only the levels were unlocked and not the other features. Still its better having all the levels unlocked to play than having none of them.
I hope this smb3 "e" feature become into a rom hack for snes
3:51 Since when does Sonic have kids that wanna to kill Mario? 😂😂
6:50 Plus if u use a P-Wing and put a Tanooki Suit the effect of P-Wing keeps making that level easier
How to open world e ? I finshed play world 1 to 8
@@reemalalyani7087 There are only two ways to access, if you have the two GBA e-reader and the cards you unlock them.Another is to buy the game on WiiU, but the store is now closed, you can currently play it on the Switch online service if you buy the expansion pack, those are the only legal ways to play the e-reader levels, the dumped WiiU rom is online for emulators
I was briefly e-Reader compatible. Nintendo took me to court and I had to patch it out to settle the case. I can't really say any more
7:16 An ability to become a statue that, when switching to a less mobile state, can see invisible platforms...
I sense a similarity. Gonna need to get my thinking *_cap_* on...
Very cool.
I wish I had the E reader.
Although I do remember having a few of the cards for some reason.
2:50 *YEAH HAH!* *YEAH HAH!*
I love Super Mario Advance series
This for me is the Mario Mania
They genuinely could have made an original Mario game for the GBA and the e-reader levels for Super Mario 3 are just a taste of the creativity that could have been
this is why i'm glad i played Advance 4 in February 2023
Damn, never expected to see so many ideas that were later used in s Mario game.
Super Mario Bros X before Super Mario Bros X
3:51 why is there more than one Sonics
I FOUND YOU, FAKER!
Porcupo, an enemy from Doki Doki Panic, a game released way earlier than Sonic.
@@siyahseeker Way to ruin the joke...
I don’t get it
@@possumorb3770I said I don’t get it
So glad it was included on NSO
3:50 Sonic the hedgehog cameo???
I never play it but insane!
0:57 so that's where the axe sprite from Super Mario 4 Jugadores comes from
Huh, I think this might be the best 2D Mario game between 3 and World...
2D-Mario with a voice is so cursed :)
As time passed, i started to think that the GBA has a much more interesting compilation of games than the DS. It was out just at the perfect time to get little experiments like this, and coexisting with the gamecube led to interesting "demakes".
I wish you would read the text out loud instead of just having it on screen. I find it hard to read and watch at the same time.
3:43 *Lives in here, I was relaxing* The perfect place to live ftom a zombie apocalypse.
Mario maker 3 needs to take notes.
Now this is how you do DLC!
Normal Mario all stars: remasters of the original trilogy besides super Mario world because is on the snes already
Me when i think of Mario all stars: this and smbx2
4:50 s o n i c
e-world feels more like a fantansy world with some wishful thinkings from the past included (who did not have wished to have both elements from supermariobros 2 and supermarioworld)
However i still think that they should,ve added those new levels to those related worlds instead.
Also what a misoppertunity to not include yoshi as a second character in that game through the e-reader, because that would,ve been cool.
Do u know how to open world e ? I finshed play world 1 to 8
Now we are getting patches for fanmade World e levels
Is that sonic in mario game? 3:51
Yes
The Porcupines are Sonic
I'm pretty sure I do have these Super Mario Bros. 3 Advance 3 e-Reader Cards, I've just never used them, I don't think, and I really regret it to this day as there's truly some spectacular levels, and it's also great that now we can experience many of the Japan-exclusive levels via Nintendo Switch Online (although I will NEVER sign up for that awful account that gives so little games out at a time compared to its Virtual Console predecessors, and their pointless Expansion Pass that players have to pay an additional paywall for no reason other than greed from Nintendo to play additional games alongside several Switch games DLC when they never had to in the previous Virtual Consoles, and even Nintendo's competitors have overall been doing a vastly superior job for many years now. And the less about that pointless "voicechat" app, which is just players using their smartphones to talk through, which is totally not inconvenient whatsoever, the better. It's just a shame Nintendo just doesn't care. But, I seriously digress)! 😄
These are accessible in the modern day via the Wii U VC version.
Mystery solved on how shy guys and birdo got out of subcon the e reader brought them in
Man this is amazing!
Would it be possible to find a save file online containing all e reader levels and then inserting them into the gba using an R4 card?
A question about the cape feather: can you take it to other levels?
Let's be honest, compared with the other advances in the main story, This is the weakest, since while the others brought improvements to the levels or gave secret exits, the only thing that seems new are the e readers and the curiosity with the wand, the koopalings when you hit it with the tail
There are other quality-of-life improvements to the Super Mario Bros. 3 engine that were later used in the Super Mario Maker series.
Ye... That's true, but still disappointing
i find it weird the smw stuff was not modified to fit more in smas smb3’s style
(not the cape)
I still have my e-Reader but only a handful of cards.
I never had never bought the E Reader device. Wish I did. 😢
whaaat? i never knew about this :o
Can we just get a loop of your intro
Are these levels in the switch version?
wtf does the poison mushroom do
It poisons you 😂
SONIC 💙💙💙 3:57
Ereader levels are king
La experiencia definitiva ✨️
How to open world e ? I finshed play world 1 to 8
What is this gams
Put a lot of effort into these games
what
Ew, the nearest neighbor-filtering when mario runs on the sloped blocks, he looks like he is dissipating
"Ew"? LMAO
何を教えたいのかさっぱり分からん｡
I’ve waited all these years to play the e-reader courses on the Switch. Smb3 gba was one of my very first Mario games in my childhood. And I have no idea about the e-reader sets and features back in that Time Era. Now I finally know lol
After I obtained all eight e-coins for the first time, not listening the original but the remastered version of the e-castle theme. It’s e-nostalgic 🥲
Interesting
Best mario 3 version
