In 2002, Nintendo re-released the game on the Game Boy Advance as Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. The Nintendo GBA title is an excellent port of the SNES game, featuring all of the levels, enemies, and secrets.

• 3Unused Autoscroll Data
• 7Regional Differences

Unused Graphics

Because it is for the most part a straight port, most if not all of the unused graphics from the original game remain.

Alternate (and strange-looking) versions of the Hint Box. Its expression never changes in-game.

The unused ? Block from the SNES game, now with 4 frames added.

The original title of the game is still stored in the title screen graphics, with its palette intact.

A big white box with a black X in the graphics of the island.

Unused Sprites

With exception of the Red Bullet Bill, all of the unused sprites and behavior remain unused in this port.

Sprite ID: F1
The Egg Plant variant that spits bubbles, except it doesn't spit bubbles in this port.

Sprite ID: 195
A smaller version of the tilting snowy platform.

Unused Autoscroll Data

Unused Autoscroll Command

There is an autoscroll command that is not used anywhere and is not associated to any sprite, the autoscroller command is as follows:

Note: The first value represents the X coordinate, the second value is the Y coordinate, and the third value is the scrolling speed.

Unused Autoscroll End Command

Autoscroll end command FC is a duplicate of autoscroll end command FF, which is used to stop the autoscroll and locks the screen at the last area the autoscroll moved.

Level Behavior Oddity

Room ID EA (the fourth area of Secret 4: Fight Toadies w/ Toadies) has a unique special behavior where stationary sprites can stand on moving platforms. Bullet Bills Shooters however, are a special case: if the sprite is standing on the right edge of a moving platform, it only appears if you come from the left side. If it is standing on the left edge of a moving platform, it will only appear if you come from the right side of the screen. If it's standing in the middle, it will always appear. Since this room uses an autoscroll that moves the screen from left to right, only the Bullet Bill Shooters placed on the right edge of a platform can be seen.

Build Date

The text is loaded into a graphics map while on the title screen. There is no build date present in the Chinese version. Below is a mockup of the graphics map overlayed onto the title screen.

World 0

While not unused, it's unlikely that any normal player not knowing about this would ever see it. The 'World 0' icon can only be seen if you get a Game Over during the intro level, at which point your progress (or lack thereof) is saved. This icon is not present in the SNES version. In the SNES version, no equivalent exists: you are given an infinite number of lives on the intro level. Even setting your lives to zero via cheat code and then getting a Game Over will display only an empty file; the game does not save World 0 to SRAM.

Regional Differences

SMA3 Title Screen

Yoshi S Island Super Mario Advance

As with the previous game, the graphics designers at NoA must have been out to lunch or something while this game was being localized, leaving us with this uninspired logo outside of Japan. Like thepreviousSuper Mario Advance games, China's is based from the Japanese title screen.

Graphical Differences

All of the graphical differences from the original game apply here as well.

Stage Names

Yoshi's Island Online

Three of the stages (two being secret stages) have different names in the European English version than in the American English version.
