    Point of order: we DID get the e-Reader and these level cards in North America, but not ALL of them. Nearly half never left Japan, making the Wii U release the first legal chance we had to play many of these levels as well.

    When I was a kid I grew up in Canada. The neighbour across the road had a father who worked in Japan. I played Super Mario Bros 3 at his house for the first time in the summer of 87' which sounds crazy considering the game didn't even come out in Japan until October. However the reason I am leaving this comment is because the first level of Super Mario Bros 3 was different. The level was the same, only you started on a tall platform and had to jump off it. I remember my friend and I trying to get back up there jumping but couldn't. Crazy right? When I got my copy in the summer of 88' the game was like it was today and I never understood why his was different. I've tried for years to find them online and ask but no success. This video made me think of it.

    Funny. I am from Dominican Republic, and I got a GBA SP with a copy of the game that surprisingly had the e-Reader compatibility. I just remember how confusing it used to be for me to see that weird "e-World" and not know what it was all about. Surely as you can imagine, e-Reader cards were never for sale in my own country either so that's that.

    I completely forgot about these. When I initially clicked on the video, I thought it was going to be about one of the two NES ROM hacks that contained levels not seen in the cartridge release. One that I know will come up in a search is called "Mario Adventure." I only had the first series of cards, so I missed out on a bunch of content.

    It's funny that they added so many new features to the game that ended up not being seen by most. With all of these things and the amount of levels mixing things up they could have essentially made a Super Mario 3.5 with 4 of it's own worlds and story. I also believe the shoe is the most underused item in Mario 3 so I'm glad to see that it got some more usage in the extra levels.

    What I find more interesting than these levels, the original SMB 3 for NES has 15 unused levels that are in the game's code and inaccessible through normal means, but can be accessed with Game Genie codes. Some of the levels appear to be earlier, unfinished versions of levels, while others are unique.

    I was fortunate that the e-Reader was released just after my birthday and got the thing with my birthday money.
    Originally that Christmas they had released the first of three waves of the e-reader levels. They were fun and cool.
    It was also neat that the e-reader had released power up cards. With those you could use the hammer suit anywhere in the game. Like my cousin did in World 2......
    Sadly I was supremely disappointed they never released the remaining cards.
    I read though I think in 2007 some guy from another country downloaded them on his computer and used a laser print to print them out and have them work in his eReader. But I couldn't get that here.
    Finally in 2017 the Nintendo WiiU shop released the game with all the extra levels and I played them thoroughly enjoying thrm.

    I kinda completely FORGOT that the GBA e-Reader EXISTED (with the cards that unlocked stuff in certain GBA games).
    Really sucks, too, because it makes these games essentially have “sectioned-off” content that you can’t access unless you can get ahold of the actual cards (which I’m sure aren’t easy to find or cheap) or are able to hack into the software itself.

    @TruExtentChannel Рік тому

    I felt obligated to provide a correction but these new levels were not locked on the cartridge. The thing is they were never on the cartridge to begin with!
    The e-reader levels are essentially DLC on a physical cards. The dot codes on the cards are actual code containing the new level structure. Really, the only thing on the cartridge having to do with the e-reader levels are the new assets taken from previous games in the Mario Advance series so that they would be at the ready for when a level got scanned in. Hell, there are some assets at the ready for the e-reader levels that just never got used but can be if someone were to create a dot code card with the correct code on it to put said asset into a custom level.
    The last thing I can mention is the version of the GBA game on Wii U and Switch is actually modified a bit. Normally the cartridge could save 32 e-reader levels before having to delete some to add more room for new levels. This was modified for Wii U and Switch so all the levels that were ever created could be included.

    Super Mario Advance 5 - A fan project to recreate a SMA styled port of SMB 1 on the GBA. I would include SMB 1, SMB 2 (Japan) and ANNSMB, all in a single cart. (Literally, there are 256 "valid" worlds in the SMB 1 cart; the 13 worlds of SMB 2 J and the 8 worlds of ANNSMB can be ported into the SMB 1 cart after world 8.) Might consider Vs. SMB as well...

    • @JediMB
      @JediMB Рік тому

      It makes sense that there'd be 256 world indices (because that would be stored in a byte), but other limits apply for a physical SMB1 cartridge.
      The game was developed for and released on a cartridge with 32 kB of code/data storage and 8 kB of graphics storage, and they came up with all sorts of space-saving measures to make it fit.
      That said, the largest ROM size on the NES was 768 kB (6 megabits), so if you'd upgrade the storage to what Kirby's Adventure had there'd obviously be room for another 23+ SMB games worth of levels.

    You have until March 27th to buy this on the Wii U; or homebrew a Wii or Wii u. Just renting it on the switch seems like just a tease.

    Had the card reader. Didn't know about the Mario 3 cards. Knew the classic game cards.

    I still have my e-reader and all the cards lol. The e-levels were really awesome, some are real damn hard though.

    I remember grabbing an e-reader and the card pacs off the shelf at GameStop and the guy said to me..if you’re getting that for the extra Mario 3 levels, it isn’t worth it. Oh how wrong he was…

    Thought you were talking about the "Lost Stages" found in OG Super Mario Bros.3
    Those are unlocked via glitches.

    Nobody really bought the E reader anyways but the only way to play all the lvs in the USA was via the Wii U version or possible on the upcoming switch port of the GBA version.

    Doki Doki Literature Club is my favorite Mario game.
    I haven't tried any of these stages, unfortunately, but they seem pretty interesting; there's a hack that enables them, but for whatever reason, I couldn't get it working. Might have to give it another shot.
