The first level of Super Mario Advance.
Sorry, at the end audio to video is off. Don't know why...

More info from Wikipedia about Super Mario Bros. 2 (as Super Mario Advance is a remake of this classic NES game):

Super Mario Bros. 2 (SMB2) is a platforming video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System video game console. It was released in North America in October 1988, in Europe on April 28, 1989 and in Japan on July 14, 1992. It was re-released on the Wii's Virtual Console in Europe, Australia and New Zealand on May 25 2007, and in North America on July 2, 2007.

SMB2 did not begin life as a Mario title; instead, it is a remake of the Japanese Famicom Disk System title Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic (DDP). Nintendo's own sequel to Super Mario Bros. was released in Japan as "Super Mario Bros. 2" in 1986. However, because of that game's extreme difficulty and its close similarity to the original game, Nintendo decided not to release it to the western world at that time, instead releasing DDP with Mario characters under the "Super Mario Bros. 2" label. Japan later saw the western SMB2 release in 1992 under the title of "Super Mario USA". The Japanese version was released to the rest of the world as "Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels" as part of the Super Mario All-Stars collection for the Super NES in 1993.

Because it was not originally a Mario title, this game differs greatly from the original Super Mario Bros. However, despite its status as the black sheep of the series, many elements from SMB2 have become part of the Mario series canon and the repertoire of recurring elements. The game also sold well in its own right and was critically acclaimed at the time.

@xdarklimex I don't know... I think it's one of the Mario themes, however...

So Super Mario Advance is essentially Super Mario 2 on the SNES? Just want to make sure before I buy it on the GBA (and it's been years since I played it on the SNES, just checking it is the same game)

[TheRetroVideogamer]

Yes, it is. It just changes a little (really little) in graphics, but essentially it's the same game.

Nice sound offset.

[TheRetroVideogamer]

Haha you're right!

Lol I'm 15. I was born in 1993, so my generation was too young to know what a SNES was. We missed out on games like: Super Mario World, Chrono Trigger, Mario RPG, etc.

But my generation grew up with the Gameboy Colour, and N64 etc. I'm glad I was a part of my generation though.
