Unused Music

To do: Track numbers. Names from the leaked partial Super Mario Advance source. Which versions they appear in.

A rendition of the original Super Mario Bros. 2 boss theme.

The Legend of Zelda jingle for picking up an item, possibly a test track. In marioAGB\src\Sound\bros_set.txt of the leaked partial Super Mario Advance source code, this is labeled as "ゼルダ宝箱ファンファーレ" (Zelda treasure chest fanfare).

A track that may be unfinished, although it may be the beginning of the multiplayer and single-player bonus round results themes (see below for a mockup).

Regional Differences

Title Screen

Japan	US/Europe	China

The Japanese version says "PUSH START", while the international version says "PRESS START". The hyphen in the copyright date was also changed to a comma in the international version, but changed back to a hyphen in the Chinese version. Japanese version uses the registered trademark (®) symbol, while the international versions use the trademark (™) symbol.

The Chinese version also added a copyright date for the iQue and changed the logo to be in Chinese.

Player Number

Japan	International

The P and player number were flipped in the international versions.

Bonus Points

Japan	International

The Japanese bonus point counter has an apostrophe at the end, just like the original arcade version. This was changed to a period for the overseas releases.

Revisional Differences

• The option to select between single-player and multiplayer is found on the main title screen of the four Super Mario Advance games, but on the Mario Bros. title screen in Superstar Saga.
• The title music uses slightly different instrumentation between versions, varying based on the game's soundfont. Super Mario Advance and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga share one arrangement, which doesn't loop.
• The fade out after pressing Start is white in the Super Mario Advance version. In all later versions, the fade out is black.
• After kicking an enemy while playing the Super Mario Advance version, Mario says nothing. The other versions added a short voice clip upon kicking an enemy.
• The Wii U Virtual Console version updated the palette of each player in Battle mode, despite the lack of multiplayer support.
