New Additions to the Collection: Super Mario Advance 4 & Classic Cobra Troopers
There’s nothing quite like adding a mix of gaming history and nostalgic figures to the collection, and this latest pickup hits that sweet spot perfectly. From portable Mario greatness to iconic action figures straight out of the ’80s and ’90s, these new additions bring together two worlds that defined childhood for many of us.
🟡 Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 (Game Boy Advance)
First up is Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 for the Game Boy Advance, complete and looking fantastic on the shelf. This release is widely regarded as one of the definitive versions of Super Mario Bros. 3, taking the NES classic and enhancing it with brighter visuals, refined sound, and the portability that made the GBA era so special.
What truly sets this version apart is the e-Reader functionality, which allowed players to unlock exclusive levels and power-ups—content that remained hidden gems for years. Even without the extra cards, the core experience is still pure Mario perfection: tight controls, iconic worlds, and some of the best level design Nintendo has ever produced.
Having this one boxed is always a win, especially for collectors who appreciate Nintendo’s early-2000s handheld era.
🐍 Cobra Troopers Join the Display
Flanking Mario in this display are two unmistakable figures from G.I. Joe’s Cobra faction, instantly recognizable to fans of classic action figures and Saturday morning cartoons. These Cobra troopers add a strong dose of retro attitude to the collection and pair surprisingly well with the gaming display.
Cobra figures have always stood out thanks to their distinctive uniforms, masked designs, and undeniable villain energy. Whether you grew up staging epic battles on the living room floor or just admired their bold designs, these figures are timeless pieces of pop culture history.
🎮 A Perfect Blend of Retro Passions
What makes this pickup especially fun is how it blends retro gaming and classic toys into one cohesive display. Super Mario Advance 4 represents peak Nintendo platforming, while the Cobra troopers tap into the action-figure boom that defined another side of retro fandom.
Together, they capture what collecting is really about: preserving the things that made gaming and pop culture exciting in the first place.
More additions are always on the way, so stay tuned—Retro Gaming Life is just getting started.
