Super Mario Advance 2 is basically the GBA version of the SNES classic Super Mario World, and it holds up surprisingly well. You’ve got Yoshi, those weird cape powers, and all those secret exits hidden in places you’d never think to check. The controls feel a little tighter than the original, though the screen’s smaller—still, it’s the same chaotic, colorful platforming that makes you want to stomp every Goomba in sight.

I forgot how brutal some of the later levels get, especially when you’re trying to 100% it. That one ghost house with the fake exits? Pure evil. But nailing a perfect cape flight over an entire stage never gets old. If you’ve got a GBA lying around, this is one of those games that’s just as fun now as it was back then.
