Archive notes

Main image shows the verified European AGB-A3AP-EUR photographic label on the fixed gray GBA catalogue shell. Full original label artwork and printed marks are retained; exterior backing and rulers are excluded. No official artwork, title or code was repainted. The shell is a uniform display convention, not a claim about factory cartridge colour.

Game background and gameplay paraphrased from Nintendo's original GBA publisher description: https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Game-Boy-Advance/Yoshi-s-Island-Super-Mario-Advance-3-267640.html. The page also contains Wii U Virtual Console information; its communication restrictions are not applied to the original GBA cartridge. The included Mario Bros. is an official bonus, not an unofficial multicart.
