Hint: Defeating Naval Piranha Plant:
When you arrive in the Boss room where that small plant is located, step on the first block on the platform, then shoot a egg at him. However, do not go further than the first block on the platform or Kamek will appear and turn that small plant to a huge monster.
Hint: Kill shooting flowers:
Stand besides a shooting flower until its smiling face pops out. When it does, quickly eat a yellow ball and spit it out again. Do this repeatedly until all of the balls are gone. When this is done, every time its head pops out, it should be empty and harmless.
Hint: World 1-7: Easy lives:
Pick up a Rollie-Pollie Guy with your tounge. Do not turn him into an egg or spit him out for anyone until you get to the pipe that spits out Shy-Guys. Once there, spit the Rollie-Pollie Guy out into a 1 (square) hole on the right of the pipe. Once placed, jump onto the platform above and to the right of it. Let the Shy-Guys jump out of the pipe and onto the Rollie-Pollie Guy. Points will accumulate and will eventually give you 1-Ups continually. After a few hours, you will have 999 lives.
Hint: World 1-7: Coins:
At the beginning of the level when you see the two flashing brown eggs, get them. Shoot the brown eggs at the two brown spike opponent next to the silver spike opponent and to get two red coins.
Hint: World 1-9: Easy lives:
Grab a Melon Bug (the bug that curls when you approach) and take him to the Shy-Guy Pipe (where the Shy Guys appear from). Look up and shoot the bug. If done correctly, the bug should fall in the tiny space on the right side of the pipe, between it and landscape. Stand on the elevated surface and make sure you have no eggs. The Shy Guys will pop out towards you, but hit the bug. You will keep getting extra lives until you have 100. Then, get a perfect completion on World 5 and you will get the roulette game. If you get the X3; you will get 300 lives.
Hint: World 2-3: Use Star through rest of level:
In World 2-3, What's Gusty Taste Like?, collect the Star and run as far as you can, killing the enemies. Go back and wait for the Star to come towards you. Once it bounces back in another area, collect it and run through the rest of the level, and more Stars will be created. At the end of the level, you can collect Coins and Stars from the brick below the last Star. If you do not want to stop, run back to the left and back to the right again. The Star will appear again.
Hint: World 3-1: Hidden area
There is a location in the water in World 3-1 where you can go beneath a land mass to access a hidden area, by jumping off of a giant spring arrow. If you curve to the side and go above the normal hidden entrance, you should enter an area where you will be falling towards nothing. Keep going right (stay in the air as long as possible) until you reach the edge. You will be teleported to World 1-1 (and gain credit toward World 3-1) where you can gain more red coins and hearts than the maximum. It will only go to the top, but it will be 10 times easier to perfect the level.
Hint: World 3-1: Warp to World 5:
On World 3-1, select any character and fall down the waterfall. There is a door at the bottom. Go inside and find the potion. Throw it near the vase and go inside. Enter the vase, which will warp you to World 5.
Hint: World 4-1: Easy lives:
Go up the first steep hill until you get to three pipes and a Koopa walking around. Two will have Piranha plants and one will be a Shy-Guy generator. Throw away an egg so Shy-Guys will start jumping out. Kill the two Piranha plants, eat the Koopa and stand on the pipe. Spit the Koopa shell towards the Shy-Guys. The shell will bounce between the two pipes, knocking out the Shy-Guys. As soon as ten Shy-Guys are knocked out, you will start getting a 1-Up for each consecutive Shy-Guy. The shell will keep bouncing around, killing the Shy-Guys that pop out. You can get up to 999 lives this way.
Hint: World 4-8: Defeating the monstrous Koopa:
When you see the Koopa turn into a giant Koopa, wait for him to pull himself up or quickly throw an egg on its head. Then, throw eggs on its head three times. This will send him to the ground. While he is on the ground, Ground Pound him before he recovers. Repeat this process three times to defeat it. Note: To obtain more eggs, jump onto his shell or on its head. Eggs will be spit out.
Hint: World 5-4: Free mini-games:
Go to a door on your left. Use a POW block or '?' and go to the door and get the secret code. This code will give you free mini-games when you go to the level selection screen.
Hint: World 6-3: Hidden area:
In the second area of World 6-3, jump and touch the left side of the first spinning log, then float to the right and move up against the wall.
Hint: Naval Piranha's Lair: Full stars:
After you go underground in the pipes with water in them, you will reach a place where you hit the arrows with eggs, and you can get the stuff above the water. One of the info blocks always gives you two stars whenever you hit it with an egg. Since there is an egg block near by, you can do this until you have 30 Stars.
Hint: Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy: Unlimited lives:
Grab a Melon Bug (the creature that rolls up into a ball) and go to the pipe with Shy Guys jumping out of it. Spit the Melon Bug close to the pipe on the left-hand side. When Shy Guys jump out, after a while you will get a '1-Up' for each time a Shy Guy hits the Melon Bug when it is in its melon form.
Hint: Welcome To Cloud World: Followed by eggs:
In this level or any other that has a large fat creature with many following behind it, Ground Pound the large one and the baby ones will follow you as eggs. When you throw one, it will loop and come back to you.
Glitch: Yoshi does flips:
When you find an enemy that you cannot defeat by jumping on them, repeatedly Ground Pound them. It will look as if Yoshi is doing flips on the enemy. Note:You must do this very fast.
In World 1-11, 'Poochy Ain't Stupid', you can have Poochy free roaming without the scrolling course. At the start of the level, keep jumping on Bats without hitting the 'scrolling course barrier' until you get on top of the wall to the wall that is to the left of you at the start of the level. Once on top, jump and keep doing Yoshi's 'flutter' or 'floating' move until you reach what appears to be an island. Land on it. Then, jump off to the right, fluttering until you reach an island surrounded by lava. Poochy should see you and run over. You now can go through the entire course without the scrolling course freely. The only drawback is if you go under the 'island' (second wall), you will hit the 'scrolling course barrier', then must ride Poochy to the end of the course.

Also known as: Yaoxi Dao (CH) This game has hidden development-related text. |
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 is the portable port of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Having a long full title apparently runs in the family.
- 3Unused Autoscroll Data
- 7Regional Differences
Unused Graphics
Because it is for the most part a straight port, most if not all of the unused graphics from the original game remain.
Alternate (and strange-looking) versions of the Hint Box. Its expression never changes in-game.
The unused ? Block from the SNES game, now with 4 frames added.
The original title of the game is still stored in the title screen graphics, with its palette intact.
A big white box with a black X in the graphics of the island.
Unused Sprites
With exception of the Red Bullet Bill, all of the unused sprites and behavior remain unused in this port.
Sprite ID: F1
The Egg Plant variant that spits bubbles, except it doesn't spit bubbles in this port.
Sprite ID: 195
A smaller version of the tilting snowy platform.
Unused Autoscroll Data
Unused Autoscroll Command
There is an autoscroll command that is not used anywhere and is not associated to any sprite, the autoscroller command is as follows:
Note: The first value represents the X coordinate, the second value is the Y coordinate, and the third value is the scrolling speed.
Unused Autoscroll End Command
Autoscroll end command FC is a duplicate of autoscroll end command FF, which is used to stop the autoscroll and locks the screen at the last area the autoscroll moved.
Level Behavior Oddity
Room ID EA (the fourth area of Secret 4: Fight Toadies w/ Toadies) has a unique special behavior where stationary sprites can stand on moving platforms. Bullet Bills Shooters however, are a special case: if the sprite is standing on the right edge of a moving platform, it only appears if you come from the left side. If it is standing on the left edge of a moving platform, it will only appear if you come from the right side of the screen. If it's standing in the middle, it will always appear. Since this room uses an autoscroll that moves the screen from left to right, only the Bullet Bill Shooters placed on the right edge of a platform can be seen.
Build Date
| Japan (00305680) | US (003077B0) | Europe (003A77FC) |
|---|
The text is loaded into a graphics map while on the title screen. There is no build date present in the Chinese version. Below is a mockup of the graphics map overlayed onto the title screen.
World 0
While not unused, it's unlikely that any normal player not knowing about this would ever see it. The 'World 0' icon can only be seen if you get a Game Over during the intro level, at which point your progress (or lack thereof) is saved. This icon is not present in the SNES version. In the SNES version, no equivalent exists: you are given an infinite number of lives on the intro level. Even setting your lives to zero via cheat code and then getting a Game Over will display only an empty file; the game does not save World 0 to SRAM.
Regional Differences
SMA3 Title Screen
| Japan | International | China |

Yoshi's Island Music
As with the previous game, the graphics designers at NoA must have been out to lunch or something while this game was being localized, leaving us with this uninspired logo outside of Japan. Like thepreviousSuper Mario Advance games, China's is based from the Japanese title screen.
Graphical Differences
| To do: Compare graphics for the Secret stage icons. |
All of the graphical differences from the original game apply here as well.
Stage Names
Three of the stages (two being secret stages) have different names in the European English version than in the American English version.
