While you do need a second GBA system (or a GC with a GC Player) and an eReader to make these cards useful, they do add amazing amounts to the game itself. Super Mario Bros. 3 is perhaps the best game in the series, and each pack of these cards includes at least 5 new game levels and two major "alterations" to the game. If you'd like to experience brand new SMB3 levels for a fairly low cost, I highly recommend these cards.

The Super Mario Bros. 3-e cards are great. If you're stuck on a level, you can use a power-up card to get a free item. If you want to open up a White Mushroom house, scan a demo card which will show you exactly how to do it. If you beat the game, grab a Level card for a new challenge. The only problem is you have to have two GBA systems (an SP or Game Boy Player will also work) and a GBA universal link along with the E-Reader, the game, and the cards. I, however, already had all that is necessary so it worked out for me. So if you already have everything besides the cards, buy the cards.

The e-cards are great, especially the level cards. They bring something new to an already great game. But most interesting is that they bring in elements from other mario games in such as vegetables, feather, poison mushrooms, ghost houses, etc.
My only wish is that I would have snatched up all of the packs of these cards as I could at the time, they are now extremely hard to find.
The major downside to these cards is you need to buy a lot of accessories to even use them, and unless you know someone else with another GBA, you're going to need another one of those too.

ok let me start by saying you need at least $200 to shell out if you want to use these cards. you need to buy 2 gameboy advance (sp if desiresd), super mario 3 for gameboy advance, an e-reader, a gameboy sp link cable and this pack of cards of corce. why would nintend make it such a hassle to buy all of this wen they could of easaly made all these features avalable on the game? They wont people to shell out all the money they can to make their game a bit better. If you have all these items id buy if if you dont id forget all about it. i was gonna buy it till i found out evry thing i needed. The hassle of haveing two gameboys on your lap swiping cards to wach some guy at nintendo play a level, or to cheat is just not worth it. If you wanna cheat do your self a favor and buy GameShark SP(on ebgames.com $20, not on amazon), or GameBoy Advance Action Replay($20) .
