Nintendo's Game Boy Advance game is Mario Advance.

Nintendo released a new video demo for Wario Advance, a vertically scrolling shooter that uses the GBA's analog stick to control the action. The demo, which lasts just 2 minutes, features a fast-paced 3D game mode with four distinct game modes. In the first mode, players are placed on a single level, and each level will change color in accordance to how players control it. This mode features both attack and defensive zones, where the player must keep on moving to get to the next room. Another mode, and more importantly, is known as "star mode." This mode gives the player the ability to customize their own Mario character, but he can only do so on the level select screen. As the player progresses, he will be able to acquire new weapons and power-ups that can be used in the more difficult modes. The games are also available for play using the GBA link cable and a Nintendo 64 adapter.

Mario Advance plays very similarly to Nintendo's previous GBA games, although the layout of the game has changed considerably. The lower screen shows the starting grid, where power-ups and enemies will appear. The lower screen shows the enemy placement and the player's character view. The lower screen shows the clock, the higher the number of enemies and the number of enemies that can be defeated. Mario Advance also features a link cable mode for linking up the system with an N64 wire cable. As a result, you will be able to take part in four-player action via link cable mode. Mario Advance is similar to previous GBA games in that it plays very much like the previous GBA games. You can also link up the N64 wirelessly to play multiplayer games online. The game uses a six-character multiplayer mode that is broken up into four-player matches. When playing on the same N64, it is possible to have up to eight players racing against each other on the same team, or with eight players being on the same team.

Mario Advance also has a practice mode. When playing, you must select the character to use. This option is accessed by pressing the A button on the gamepad. You are then put into the general air attack mode. Each character has four levels to choose from. Each level has one level of difficulty and a boss to defeat.
