Super Mario Advance 4: Effects + Cape
A gameplay hack of Super Mario Advance 4 that trades the raccoon tail for Super Mario World's cape and adds a reserve item box.
What it changes
Effects + Cape is a hack by hiro1112 for the Game Boy Advance version of Super Mario Bros. 3. Two things borrowed from Super Mario World define it:
- the Super Leaf no longer gives Mario the raccoon tail: he gets a cape instead;
- a backup item box keeps a spare power-up in reserve, like the stock box on the Super Nintendo.
The worlds and levels of the original remake are kept.
Playing it
