Play as Mario, Luigi, Toad or Peach, and escape the mysterious land of Subcon. Also in spruced-up form is arcade classic Mario Bros.: Mario and Luigi’s first appearance together, featuring fast-paced platforming as you rid the levels of pipe-dwelling critters.

  • Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 (Game Boy Advance), Nintendo – £6.29 (€6.99) or free if you buy two Super Mario Advance games with the same NNID

Mario hasn’t even had a chance to savour his victory in the original Super Mario Advance, and already he’s back for more in Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. This game is a perfect recreation of the Super Nintendo™ classic Super Mario World, featuring every last secret exit and all levels of platform-jumping joy. While planning the perfect vacation on Dinosaur Island, things go awry for Mario and Luigi when they learn that Princess Toadstool has once again been kidnapped by the ever-diabolical Bowser. Being chivalrous plumbers, Mario and Luigi set out on a massive adventure to rescue their long-time friend. To reach their goal, they’ll have to crush Bowser’s Minions and solve some of the most challenging puzzles they’ve ever faced. Like any Mario game, Super Mario World is crawling with secrets. In addition to hidden blocks and vines within the levels, many levels feature hidden exits which take a lot of exploration to discover. Finding these hidden exits is the only way to explore all of the levels in the game.

  • Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 (Game Boy Advance), Nintendo – £6.29 (€6.99) or free if you buy two Super Mario Advance games with the same NNID

Strap yourself into the red or green dungarees of Mario or Luigi as they jump, bounce, slide, fly and swim their way across eight enormous worlds. Their mission? To battle the forces of Bowser and his troublemaking kids, who have turned all the local kings into animals. What makes Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 so special? Is it the pixel-perfect controls? Could it be the superb level design, packed with secrets and surprises? Or maybe it’s the cool power-ups like the flying Tanooki Suit, sea-swimming Frog Suit, or the whirlwind-summoning Warp Whistle? Boasting vastly improved graphics and sounds over the NES original, plus never-before-seen special features, Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 will give everyone a chance to relive – or experience anew – a true Miyamoto masterpiece.
