Connection Instructions
You need a copy of the Game Boy Advance game "Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3". Link two GBA’s with a Link Cable. One Game Boy Advance should have the game inserted, the other the e-Reader device. Press the R button on any in-game world map, select the type of the card you want to scan and turn on the other Game Boy Advance. Follow the e-Reader instructions and scan the cards.

To access the level cards you have to go to World-E, that is on the bottom of the list in the file select screen. In World-E you can unlock three Mushroom Houses, play a scanned level on the title next to the E-Coin Castle or switch between Mario and Luigi using the other tile.
