Why does nobody talk about the unused World-e mini-game from Super Mario Advance 4? The one where you have to unclog a toilet? #SuperMarioAdvance4 #SMA4

First game I ever saw in my life
Had that game on an SNES that I couldn't play for the longest time, stuck wondering about it for years until it was given away
Got it as SMA4
First time I saw ROMhacks*
Copying the sprites in WarioWare DIY got me into pixel art
It's the epicenter of a lot of me

What's your "origin" video game?
Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you.
I'm talking about the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer.
So, which game is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?

SMA4 European version actually does have an official way to unlock the e-Reader functionality, probably just in case they release the EU e-reader later

For F-Zero X: No, it's pretty different. The Expansion Kit is actually as if you ran the game with a different executable. SMA4 in comparison always had the e-Reader functions embedded so it's about using it in a different way.
For Band Brothers: That's just extra data, no hacks needed even.

This filter was already a thing for other games, but MLSS and SMA4 were the two games that have explicit functions not to enable any color adjustments, that seems randomly ignored all of a sudden.

So the latest GBA NSO update has done a mistake: It applies the color filter to the two games (MLSS & SMA4) that supports Game Boy Player with alternate color schemes. It definitely shouldn't.
It looks like it also affected MALSS because that also had the color change on the gameboy player that they carried over to NSO version

I feel like this is a mistake because they did pay attention to that before. In fact they cared to hack SMA4 to enable Game Boy Player features, including colors that are more like SNES, which is an actual feature. It was already like SNES before this change.

We got one, but it was only available in cards, & most of them were Japan only. lol
But seriously, I’d love to see the concepts from the SMA4 ereader levels expanded into a full game. I’m surprised we haven’t seen ROM hacks do this because all the functions in those levels are already in the game.

I miss owning Yoshi Tilt and Whirl, Yoshi's Island on GBA, and Super Mario Pinball Land. Among other games I was forced to trade in as a kid to get new ones. I suspect it played a factor in why I now am so protective of my game collection. And why seeing a copy of SMA4 made me weep inside.

SMA4 Super Mario Bros 3: Definitely still more of a World fan for reasons I posted about previously, but I really can't deny this is still a solid game that I could definitely see being a step up over most NES games of the time. Even if the level design isn't always my cup of tea.

Thinking about how wild it is that Nintendo didn’t make a single original Super Mario game for the GBA. They made adjustments to SNES games (two of which were remakes of NES games) and, aside from e-reader stuff in SMA4, called it a day. Feels like Ninty had no idea what to do with Mario.

Thank you to everyone who came to my SMA4:SMB3 stream! Sorry for cutting it short. Hand was starting to cramp up, not having used a controller in a while. Sent the raid over to @SakuraSachiko_! Make sure to give them a follow! If I don't stream in the 2 weeks, enjoy the holidays!

I'm not back yet from my break but I wanted to ask if anyone knows how replacing voice clips in GBA games works (specifically SMA4). Every time I try replacing a voice clip in Goldwave and saving, the game ends up corrupting and freezes. DM me on discord if you think you could help (glacialsiren484)
