What are you playing?

Not to sound impolite, but I think you mean Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island.

Anyway, I never played the SNES version of the game, but I would say that the GBA port is just as good. It's a shame that not even the 3DS has the capability to fully emulate the "all powerful" Super FX Chip, the GBA almost succeeds in doing it. By the way, Mighty, I'm not sure if you are ever going to try this, but have you ever considered getting 100% on all the levels in that game? While I think nothing happens in the original SNES version, you actually get a nice cutscene for your troubles in the GBA port that tells you how many lives you used. It;s a cool feature, but it did lead me to do a play through of the game where I tried my hardest not to spend a single life and redoing entire levels from the start if I did die.

Right, I keep getting 2 and 3 mixed up, lol. I want to get 2 and 4 as well at some point because it's been years since I've played SMW and SMB3.

I actually have beaten the game 100% before (with the exception of the bonus stages, I think... it's been so long), but I did plan on attempting that again and this time beating the bonus stages, too.
