The first release of the game was bundled with two e-Reader cards. Two groups of cards, referred to as series, were also sold as separate products. By scanning these special cards into the e-Reader, players are able to unlock items, videos, and, most significantly, new [[level]]s in the game. One notable item is the [[Cape Feather]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', which allows [[Mario]] to transform into [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]].

There are also [[Switch Card]]s that the player can activate and deactivate the effects of by scanning them. The e-Reader feature is still present in the European version, but it is disabled and inaccessible, despite being fully translated. This is due to the e-Reader not releasing in Europe, despite being planned to. The e-Reader's functionality can be forcibly accessed in the European version by corrupting a save file.<ref>[http://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Advance_4:_Super_Mario_Bros._3#Miscellaneous Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 - The Cutting Room Floor]</ref> | ||
