A very short and simple Mario game.
It's a very very short game, but it's still really fun given the capabilities of the original game boy. The upgrades are limited to only fireballs. The enemies aren't too varied. Koopas turn into time bombs after stompin... Read Full Review

Fun and addictive for a Mario game on the Gameboy

Am I the only gamer in the world who thinks Super Mario Land is a bad Amanita Muscaria trip? Probably yes.
The Good: Nice variety in environments and gameplay. The Bad: It's not a Mario game. Being released in the early Game Boy days, Super Mario Land suffers from the same issues every game at the time did--namely some ... Read Full Review

Retro, side-scrolling Mario fun.
This was Mario's first handheld game for the GameBoy, and in many ways it disappointed fans on various fronts while at the same time was a system seller. For starters, you can only play as Mario, who looks very much l... Read Full Review
