Ah, who doesn’t remember the chart-topping MC Mario “Folks round here think I’m crazy, but I gotta rescue Daisy” song that was based on the music from this, slightly odd in hindsight, Game Boy Mario game? Kids, that’s who. Tch.
And it is a bit odd. Super Mario Land starts out as a seemingly normal, low resolution and black and white approximation of the NES classic, but adds different enemies and the fire flower is a bouncy ball and there are scrolling shooter levels. It isn’t a bad game, but put it next to Super Mario Land 2 and it’s like they’re not even the same console generation, let alone in the same game series.
I completed it, of course, and it was ridiculously easy. But not actually bad.
@deKay This is genuinely the only Mario platformer that I actually like.

@deKay @deKay@lofi-gaming.org.uk Music's great. But I think really it's because the physics are slightly different, I've always hated how Mario moves like he's on roller skates in all the other games. This one just seems more playable to me.
