Super Mario Advance: Prima's Official Strategy Guide

Rating:
Summary: Great book really great book!
Review: Okay, as much as the next person I like maps too, and while this guide didn't have any, that doesn't matter cuz the level of detail in the walkthrough was good enough for me!

The amount of time they took to put this guide together makes this a very good guide. They were very content on helping you get started in a section dedicated to completely helping you learn the basics. They explain the use of items. The explain all the enemies and ways to defeat them.

The walkthrough was very good. While it didn't have maps who cares? The other two guides had maps and they weren't even the best! What made the walkthrough good was that they had a quick reference guide in the back and that was only to help you find mushrooms, ace coins, and yoshi eggs if you wanted to get through the level in a hurry. Crystal clear screenshots basically dominated.

The secrets were well done while I still was able to find some tricks that I was stupidly trying out to see if they worked (and did but hey they were stupid), they actually told me what would happen if I got all the Ace coins in the game, they actually TOLD me what would happen if I collected all the yoshi eggs too.

They completely covered the Super Mario Bros. classic very easily. The guide was so detailed. I have to recommend this guide out to anyone there is. While it still isn't the best its better than the other two I saw. Keep this in mind because the guide is very decent and well put together.
