Super Mario Advance 2 - Super Mario World (USA Australia)

Whether you’re a first-time player or returning to this GBA classic after decades, these tips and tricks will help you 100% complete Super Mario Advance 2 and uncover every hidden secret. First, master the core GBA controls: use the A button for standard jumps, hold B to run and build momentum for long distance jumps, and press A + B together to perform a spin jump.
