'''''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''''' is a [[reissue]] of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' made for the [[Game Boy Advance]] and developed by [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development]] (Nintendo EAD). It is the second title in the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]] and was released in Japan on December 14, 2001; in North America on February 11, 2002; and in Europe and Australia in April 2002. There are numerous gameplay, visual, sound, and [[level]] design changes from the original game, as the most noticeable alteration is the game being playable for only one-player (rather than two), with the addition of [[Luigi]] now playable in single player as an optional character. Additionally, a [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] of the classic ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' game is included, as with all the other entries in the ''Super Mario Advance'' series, which supports anywhere from one to four players.
'''''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''''' (or '''''Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World''''') is a [[reissue]] of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' made for the [[Game Boy Advance]] and developed by [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development]] (Nintendo EAD). It is the second title in the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]] and was released in Japan on December 14, 2001; in North America on February 11, 2002; and in Europe and Australia in April 2002. There are numerous gameplay, visual, and [[level]] design changes from the original game, but the most noticeable alteration is the game being playable for one player only (rather than two), with [[Luigi]] now being playable in the single player game as an alternate character. Outside the main game, a [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] of the classic ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' game is included, much like with all the other entries in the ''Super Mario Advance'' series, which supports anywhere from one to four players.


The game was re-released on the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in Japan on April 3, 2014; in North America on December 25, 2014; and in Europe and Australia in March 2016. It was later re-released on the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s [[Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online]] service in May 2023.

[[File:Mario Picnic in Dino Land.png|thumb|left|250px|Mario and Luigi arrive at [[Dinosaur Land]] with Peach.]]
The gameplay and plot are the same as in the original version of ''Super Mario World'' for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. Players take control of either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], adventuring through [[Dinosaur Land]] to foil the evil King [[Bowser]] and his [[Koopalings]], who have kidnapped [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] (also known as Princess Peach) and imprisoned seven of the native [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s in [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s. Players navigate through the game's [[world]]s via an overworld map featuring paths connecting to action panels, [[fortress]]es, etc. The playfields of the levels are populated with obstacles and enemies, with the player traversing the stage by making use of basic techniques from the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' titles]], like running, jumping, swimming, dodging, and defeating enemies; and those new to the original ''Super Mario World'', like the [[Spin Jump]].

The same power-ups from the original release are retained, including the basic power-ups of the [[Super Mushroom]], [[Fire Flower]], and [[Super Star|Starman]]; and the [[Cape Feather]], introduced in the original game. The Super Mushroom increases Mario or Luigi's size; the Fire Flower gives him a fireball attack; the Starman makes him invincible; and the Cape Feather allows him to fly and to attack enemies by spinning. Also returning is [[Yoshi]], the Mario brothers' sidekick and riding mount from the original ''Super Mario World'', who is able to eat most enemies and gain special abilities from holding colored [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] shells in his mouth. The game also contains blue, yellow, and red Yoshis, which become available to Mario and Luigi from any level in the game after he has found their eggs in [[Star World]] and fed them enough enemies or objects to grow them to maturity. When holding any Koopa shell in his mouth, these Yoshis gain the ability that corresponds to its own color, in addition to that of the shell.

After Bowser is defeated, and Mario or Luigi go up to the princess, the time remaining is multiplied and added to the score as usual when completing a level before the ending sequence begins.

As shown in published screenshots, an early build retained the original game's HUD, which was altered in the final to fit in better with the GBA's screen resolution.<ref>[http://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/ai/omgwtct/#sma2 Source]</ref> Even the original test levels were left in the game; they can be accessed via a [[#Glitches|glitch]].
 
The game was produced by ''Super Mario'' creator [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], and directed by Hiroyuki Kimura with supervision from original SNES directors [[Takashi Tezuka]] and Toshihiko Nakago. The new graphics were designed by Emi Tomita, and the new audio cues were composed by Yasushi Ida and Taiju Suzuki. This was the last entry in the ''Super Mario'' franchise to be produced under [[Hiroshi Yamauchi]]'s administration as president of Nintendo.

*After having found all 96 exits, the player can simultaneously press a {{button|gba|Pad}} button and {{button|gba|select}} to trigger the status screen, then choose a level and move in an incorrect way going to an incorrect level. Pressing {{button|gba|A}} will result in no response, an endless bonus game, an actual level, or an inaccessible level like the intro level. Some levels if beaten will glitch the game drastically if the normal exit is taken or revert to the original overworld if the secret exit is taken. For unknown reasons, getting more than 96 exits through this glitch reverts the overworld back to the normal overworld and saving is fatal. Through this glitch, it is possible for the player to access a test level and unused intro from the original game by going to Star World 3, pressing right on the {{button|gba|Pad}} and {{button|gba|select}} simultaneously, and selecting the second Star Road on the list at the level screen.
===999 lives glitch===
*If Mario/Luigi is riding Yoshi with 999 lives, the player may enter a level with possibly at least a [[1-Up Mushroom]] (e.g. [[Yoshi's Island 2]]) that was already beaten, stick Yoshi's tongue to the 1-Up Mushroom, and rapidly press {{button|gba|start}} when Yoshi's mouth is full. Upon returning to the map screen from the pause menu, the player's life counter shows up as Y00 (1000). This glitch is temporary, and the life counter resets if the player enters another level.

Upon returning to the map screen from the pause menu, the player's life counter shows up as Y00 (1000). This glitch is temporary, and the life counter resets if the player enters another level.
*After completing the game, Mario and Luigi should return to the flattened Yellow Switch Palace, then the player must very quickly press {{button|gba|select}} and down on {{button|gba|pad}}, then select [[Chocolate Island 3]]. From there, Mario or Luigi will begin a winding trek back to the flattened Yellow Switch Palace; however, it will display Chocolate Island 3's name instead of "Yellow Switch Palace." Upon pressing {{button|gba|a}}, Mario or Luigi will be able to re-enter the Yellow Switch Palace. It should be noted that after returning here, the Yellow ! Switch will not be found at the end as it has already been pressed. Therefore, Mario or Luigi must manually exit the level since there is no other way out.
 
*In the level [[Outrageous]], if Mario or Luigi is riding a Yoshi and falls into the bottomless pit before the last [[Bullet Bill]] stand, he can jump off the Yoshi at the very last second and then be damaged by a Bullet Bill. This must be done in a frame-perfect manner. After beating the level, Mario or Luigi will be riding a Silver Yoshi that acts as a Yellow Yoshi. After Silver Yoshi eats all of the red berries in a level, an egg will hatch not to reveal a [[Super Mushroom]], [[Fire Flower]], [[Cape Feather]], or [[Super Star|Starman]], but instead a [[Beach Koopa]].
