Is there a way to replay the defeated castles on the GBA version? I Know on the SNES version you could replay the castles by pressing L+R buttons.

@jamesffxl

Clear Bowser's Castle so that you can replay the other castles as many times as you want, you don't even need to hold L+R when revisiting the completed castles.

I prefer the SNES version. The GBA's music sounds cheap.

[MrFaatiliga]

I remember playing this game in the first grade, I miss those times. Nowadays, its all about shooting games and violence and we forget all of the fun we used to have playing the simple games. Just watching this video made me want to buy myself a game boy and play this game from start to finish. Thank you Greenalink for bringing back those memories

@airfoemoe ill go 4 GBA

[olmianibal]

in the 600 coin game in gba there is a coin over the counter

[dunnono00]

Bullets, walking cacti, fire breathing dinosaurs, piranha plants... these guys picked a hell of a place for a picnic.

[sonamyfan666]

@MrFaatiliga Yes I agree All though I prefer Sonic over Mario I remember playing this when growing up to on my first SP till I got grounded and some one stole it out of My Dad's Car with my Game to I so want this game again

[sonamyfan666]

@airfoemoe Well it is on a handheld that had trouble matching the system but still pretty good but the Music Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Donkey Kong on the Game Boy Color and Game Boy respectfully sounds good and those were their first remakes

[wbyyo]

I've finished bothany times on mi GP2X Wiz

[VagrantNoName]

@expertnoobFTW

Tell that to Lunar Magic. Huhuhuhu

[mickeymouse12678]

@airfoemoe Hmm... I posted a response, but it disappeared.

Anyway... bluetooth gamepads aren't worth the hassle for a smartphone, and not many people have the Xperia Play. The GBA version is simply an alternative to the real thing. If you're away from home, the GBA version is a comparable version.

I respect that you like the SNES version better. It's the real deal. And I do appreciate that you agree that the GBA version isn't bad.

[airfoemoe]

@mickeymouse12678 Bluetooth gamepads exist, Xperia play, and game gripper for keyboard phones. GBA version is good, I just prefer SNES.
