Releases
  • Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 was released in 2003 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this platform game remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System's Super Mario Bros. 3, developed by Nintendo R&D2, strap yourself into the red or green dungarees of Mario and Luigi and they jump, bounce, slide, fly and swim their way across eight enormous worlds. Their mission? To battle the forces of Bowser and his troublemaking kids, who have turned all the local kings into animals.

  • Kirby Air Ride was released in 2003 for the Nintendo GameCube in Japan. In this racing game, developed by HAL Laboratory, vehicles come in all shapes and sizes. In real life, a big five-pointed yellow star isn't one of them. But in Kirby Air Ride, everyone's favourite smiling blob powers around some spectacular courses on just that - a big five-pointed yellow star. The result? Some of the most compulsive and unique Nintendo GameCube racing yet.
