While Mario was away rescuing Daisy in the first Super Mario Land, a jealous rival seized his castle and locked it with six golden coins. That rival was Wario, who debuted here in 1992 and went on to headline his own Game Boy series. Nintendo R&D1, the team behind the original, made this sequel far larger and much closer to the home console games, with big character sprites and a full overworld map.
The coins are scattered across themed zones that can be tackled in any order: a giant tree, a low-gravity trip to the Moon, a house where Mario shrinks to insect size, a pumpkin-filled haunt, a turtle-shaped sea, and a giant mechanical Mario statue. The cartridge has battery saves with three files, a first for a Mario platformer on the system, and its slower pace makes it a relaxed entry in the series.
Tips for Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
The carrot power-up gives Mario rabbit ears; holding the jump button after leaping slows his fall so he can glide across gaps.
Coins collected in stages can be spent on the bonus games reachable from the overworld map.
Look for alternate exits in stages; some lead to hidden levels.
