Changes from the original game

Super Mario Advance 2 contains many gameplay and visual changes from the original Super Mario World. These include the addition of a status menu allowing players to check how many levels they have played and whether they have collected all the Dragon Coins in a given level, adding Dragon Coins to levels that did not have them (such as Ghost Houses and Fortresses), raising the maximum life count to 999, updating the save system to allow players to save at any time, enabling players to jump off enemies they originally could not, locking the Fall event until the player has cleared all 96 levels, minimal level design alterations, the addition of a pre-title introductory cinema scene, and altering certain graphics (notably Princess Peach's sprites and Yoshi and Bowser's arm colorations) to be more consistent with official character designs. Digital voice acting is contributed by Mario's famed voice actor Charles Martinet, with a combination of new voice clips and those ripped from the first Super Mario Advance game.

The most noticeable alteration, however, is the removal of the original two-player feature, making the game for only one player. Because of this, Luigi is reworked as an optional character, who can be swapped out with Mario by pressing on the world maps. As in the special compilation cartridge Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World, Luigi has his own sprite set independent of Mario's; however, this one is based on the appearance of his sprites in the first Super Mario Advance, and he plays differently from Mario in several ways. Luigi jumps higher but more slowly than Mario, and scuttles in midair as he jumps, but he suffers from worse traction and lower running speed than his brother. When Luigi flies using the Cape, he flies slightly higher than Mario, but not as fast; and Fire Luigi's fireballs bounce higher than Fire Mario's. When Luigi is riding him, Yoshi does not instantly swallow enemies; instead, he can spit them out and use them to attack other enemies, automatically swallowing them after a brief amount of time. Finally, if Luigi hits a Coin Block, all of the coins inside it will spill out of the block at once instead of collecting them one by one.
