Super Mario Bros. - The Return to Subcon

is an action-adventure 2D platforming video game developed and published by Nintendo and VECOMA.
The game is a sequel to Super Mario Bros. 2 and it's pseudo-sequel BS Super Mario USA. It was released on October 9, 2018 (SMB2's release date in the USA in 1988) to celebrate SMB2's 30 year anniversary.
 reuses all assets from Super Mario Advance with the addition of new ones. All enemies and bosses from SMA return alongside new baddies as Mario and co. set off to stop Wart's evil plans from succeeding once again. 
==Story==
It's been years since Wart's last attack on Subcon. Peace has returned to the dream universe. Or so it looked.
When Mario and Luigi wake up one beautiful moning, they find out that Peach, Toad, Toadette, Daisy, Yoshi, Rosalina and Pauline are all missing. Upon investigation, they find several clues that lead them to a grass field. The brothers stand there in total confusion, until a flash of bright white light brings them back to the world of Subcon. They then find out Wart and his army have returned and merged Subcon with another dream world named Muu. Wart succesfully took control of the new universe soon after. 
A telepathic hologram of Wart appears before the brothers, who says that he's been ruling over Subcon and Muu for seven years now (time in Subcon goes faster than in the real world, even though days, weeks, months and years have the same length as usual). He also claims thay he "didn't want his dear friends to miss the fun", and that he had teleported their friends into Subcon, where they are now imprisoned. Wart then finishes with saying that by absorbing their dream energy, he'll be able to merge Subcon and Muu with the real world, after which he'll rule over all three of them as an autocracy.
Furious, Mario and Luigi set off to end Wart's rule over Muu and Subcon and, if they don't stop him in time, the real world as well.
==Gameplay==
The Return to Subcon plays out the same as Super Mario Advance. The game is now three times SMA's length (58 levels compared to SMA's 20)  
However, there are differences, ranging from cosmetic ones (characters now fall over onto the floor upon defeat) to gameplay changing ones. For example, Birdo is no longer present at the end of almost every level. In fact, end of non-boss level bosses are almost nonexistent in the game, with a couple exceptions (7 of the 38 non-boss levels feature a boss at the end). 
In addition to Mario, Luigi, Toad and Peach, there are now more characters; only Mario and Luigi are playable from the start, however. After 7-3 is completed, all characters are now playable; in the first seven worlds, a new characters is unlocked upon completion.
The various characters have several special attributes. Each character also has one special ability they can use. In order to use this special ability, the player must collect a Magic Lamp. Once they do, they'll be able to use it thrice before having to find another Magic Lamp.
The stats of the four original characters slightly differs; Toad is now no longer the strongest of the four.
