Super Mario Bros. Deluxe serves as a precursor to the Super Mario Advance series on the Game Boy Advance,[7] and is likely why the original Super Mario Bros. was not remade for the Game Boy Advance, although it was ported as a Classic NES Series title (or Famicom Mini in Japan).
In 2014, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe was ported to the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console, first receiving a promotional release in Japan, Europe, and Australia before receiving a regular release in North America as well as in Europe and Australia, where it was re-released at a slightly higher price.
Trivia
- In the source code for Super Mario Advance, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad each have a voice clip in which they say Super Mario Bros. Deluxe 2 and Super Mario Bros. 2 Deluxe, respectively, suggesting that Super Mario Advance would have been a direct follow-up to Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and a part of the same series.
- One specific similarity that Super Mario Advance has to Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is a Yoshi Challenge mode in which Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, or Toad need to find a Yoshi Egg hidden in each level.
