Super Mario World – Super Mario Advance 2 Color Restoration

THIS IS NOT MINE! I found this NOT blinding version of SMW’s GBA port at these places. It’s a hack for the brightness of the game. You can probably use this when you want to emulate it, put it on your GBA SP, GB Player, DS[Lite], etc with a flash cart…but don’t play it on the original GBA because your eyes will die from focusing them. Your eyes will die from looking at the normal game on the above backlight-enabled consoles, too. www.romhacking.net index.php/topic,7444.0.html (the link is broken so please put it together, WITH the comma.) redwax.circa1984.com You can find it here. Realize that you need to get the 0.91 version if you want it to work on non-Europe versions! Also, I’m not going to give you much instruction on this. Figure it out mostly by yourself.

    @InsanimationStudios

    It;s kind of like how they dumb down the European PAL SNES with 50hz slowdown and huge borders and a hacker came along and fixes it. Like European Wii Virtual Console and it’s 50hz only, I bet if GBA comes to 3DS virtual console the 16bit games will be locked to their inferior colour pallete’s.

    The color palettes are lighter, due to the darker screen of the GBA and it being originally lightless, thus it was sort of difficult to play in low light. When the GBASP was released, the lighter color palettes were unnecessary.

    and also im playing on an emulator so i dunno if i can get a dirty cartidge lol, but im trying the glitch again, i dunno how i exactly did it but i get the idea, it was in vanilla dome 4 and what happened was i lost my green yoshi and then went down a pipe into a lava place and i came out with a white yoshi, random isnt it

  5. S4Samios says:

    yo darkbowser, i got ur email about how the gba version is better than snes, and i agree cuz i had the snes when i was a kid so i didnt remember that u would lose yoshi and all that stuff when u save lol, thanks for the advice

  6. S4Samios says:

    @DarkBowser64 oh, GBA version suks, i use to have the snes version but other than that, i got a white from a random glitch and his ablility is that when he has a shell in his mouth and jumps his land is super powered and makes the screen shake, the glitch was by accident and im not sure how i got him and i lost him now and accidently saved :( , and now i went to star road and got red yoshi :D

  7. DarkBowser64 says:

    Didn’t you look at the cleared levels I had? It was clear I already had gone to Star Road and got the Blue Yoshi in the egg blocks already. Also, you can’t get a blue Yoshi from them in the SNES version, you have to obtain it from Star Road. Only the GBA version allows you to obtain them from any block in the game instead..

  8. S4Samios says:

    oh, so that blue yoshi was just a glitch? cuz randomly after going down a pipe i just got a white yoshi o.0
    i use to play this game on the snes when i was small and i have no memorie of a white yoshi or a blue yoshi without wings

  9. InsanimationStudios says:

    FINALY! Wow, I’m surprised this isn’t that common since the palletes for the GBA version are terrible. What sick, evil person thought it was a good idea to screw with the pallettes any ways? When I used to have this game I would have to tilt the screen JUST to make it look more like the SNES version.

  11. estobern0 says:

  12. SPS148669 says:

    This is what made so many GBA games INFERIOR to their SNES versions, THE HORRIBLE COLOR PALLETE’s!

  13. DarkBowser64 says:

    It’s called “crouching to the rhythm”. I do it a lot to catchy tunes like Athletic. xP

  14. JakkHack says:

    Why were you constantly fucking Yoshi?

  15. DarkBowser64 says:

    I don’t know where to get it, just search Google.

    Flash carts let you play various games on a cart that which you can plug to your computer and put in ROMs. When you put it in your GBA, it can play those various games by selecting them from a list when started up.

    Some games, like Super Mario Advance 4, though, have a very large save file and you may need a more advanced flash cart for this.

    What’s a flash cart and where can I get one?

  17. OmarioDS says:

    Cool! =D Check out my Super Mario World Game Play.

  18. DarkBowser64 says:

    No, I don’t think it works for that version.
    They used the Europe version first, then came the American version because people use that the most. They’ll probably not do anything in the near future to the Japanese version of anything. =/

  19. MrAPT1 says:

    I put a vid about this too. A cool concept. Does this work for the japanese version?

  20. DarkBowser64 says:

    Remember to make sure your question isn’t already answered in the description before asking a question. ;)

  21. MrAPT1 says:

    Where did you find this?
