Cheerful and brave plumber Super Mario decided today to help the king and rescue the princess who was kidnapped by the dark magician. You in Super Mario Advance will have to help him with this. Your character will be visible on the screen in front of you, who will be in a certain location. Using the control keys, you will make him run forward and collect various objects and gold coins scattered all over the place. On your way, you will come across holes in the ground and various kinds of traps that Mario, under your guidance, will have to jump over. You will also come across various monsters. Your hero can kill them if he jumps on their heads. For killing each monster, you will be given points.
