This contains Super Mario Bros 1, 2, & 3 for NES which have separate entries.
The only thing contained in SMAS that is unique are the "Lost Levels".
Does this cartridge deserve its own entry?

I would say it is a compilation, so "Yes".

I would agree that it should be it's own entry as well.

If the Super Mario Advance games are not getting their own entry, then why is this?
It should just be another version under the original game entries.

It's a compilation. Leave it alone. As for SMB:Advance games, I would suggest that they all need their own entry.

SMB:Advance games, where they are reimplementing a previous game, are a version. So Super Mario Advance 3 is currently correctly shown as a version of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, not a separate entry in its own right.

Actually, the Super Mario Advance games are technically a compilation as well. Each one includes a game in the Super Mario Bros. series, plus an enhanced version of the original Mario Bros.
This came up way back when VideoGameGeek was in its beta stage and there was some agreement that these should be added as compilations, but no one ever added them to the database.

I agree with the general design of having game compilations as unique entries, and the Mario Advance games would also qualify as compilations (not versions) since they each include two full games which had already been released individually. But, there are other weird edge cases to consider. What about Metroid Prime? That game includes a full version of the original Metroid. Should Metroid be added as a compilation item to the Metroid Prime entry? But then what about Metroid Prime Trilogy, which itself includes Metroid Prime as a compilation item but does NOT come with the original Metroid? Maybe the existing Metroid Prime entry should be kept but all its versions should be deleted, and a new entry should be made for the compilation which includes Metroid Prime and Metroid. That seems technically correct, but ugly. And what would you call the compilation? And is it even legal in the database for the Metroid Prime entry to have no versions of its own?
I'm not sure what the best solutions to these problems are, but I do feel that it should somehow be acknowledged somewhere in the database that the original release of Metroid Prime also came with a full version of Metroid.

Here is another entry the database will have fun trying to get right.
Some versions of the Sega Master System came with a built in game called Snail Maze.
Enjoy!
Just tried to add the game, and can't do it. I will need a BIOS choice under media.
-Hmmm maybe I can add BIOS as a media category.
-Doesn't look like it.
(Oh, and compilations deserve a game entry.)
