(Fun fact, this game, gotten at a Wendy's during a winter trip to Disney World when I was a child, is one of the first major exposures I had to the Mario franchise, many years before I actually got into it. I still have it in a box in my bookshelf.) |

The Super Mario Advance Board Game is a double-sided board game released by Wendy's as part of their 2002 Super Mario line of toys.[1] While the front of the board game is based off of Super Mario Advance, the back features a board game based off Mario Kart: Super Circuit, titled Mario Kart: Super Circuit Board Game. In both games, the object is for the player to be the first to reach the "FINISH" space on the board. The game comes with playing pieces of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Wario, Wart, and a Shy Guy; the latter two are replaced with Bowser and Donkey Kong on the Mario Kart: Super Circuit side.
Setup[edit]
To begin play, the player first assembles the board by connecting the four pieces together. Next, they separate the game cards, playing pieces, and card tray by tearing along the dotted lines. They then shuffle the cards and place the stack facedown in the card tray. Afterwards, each player chooses a playing piece and places it on the space marked "START". The youngest player begins play.
Gameplay[edit]
On the player's turn, they should draw the top card from the stack and move forward the number shown on the card, carrying out the action of the space they land on. They then place the card in the discard pile faceup. Players continue moving around the board, following the instructions on each space, until someone reaches the finish. When the stack of cards is exhausted, the player should shuffle the cards in the discard pile and place them facedown in the card tray. Play then continues as before.
Game contents[edit]
The board game comes with the following contents:
- Game board
- 8 playing pieces
- 16 cards
- Card tray
