My cousin gave this game to me about a year ago because she got too old for it and I LOVED playing it at her house on my GBC. It took me a while to beat it but I thoroughly enjoyed the time! The good thing about the game is that you can switch to easy mode for little kids. (My 5 year old brother loves it!) Another good thing is that if you have a Fire Flower or Rabbit Ears and you are hit by an enemy, such as a Goomba, you are still Super Mario and you are not reduced to starting size like you are on Super Mario Bros. DX. The only cons about this game is that Mario can't jump very high and you can't be Luigi, Mario's bro. This game is a must have for Game Boy and for the WHOLE family!

WOW, I love this game. It is the best non-colorized portable Mario side-scroller I have ever played. This is one of the best game boy action games out there, along with donkey kong land 1-3, Metroid II, The Kirby games, and others. The rabbit ears kick but and I love the space zone.

Graphics-4/5, almost like black-and-white super mario world.

Play Control-5/5, Extremely Tight, and not too complex.

Game Design-4/5, It would be perfect, but it lacks an ice zone or a desert zone. It's a bit short compared to, oh say, Super Mario World, but it has high replay value. Hidden Levels too!

Satisfaction-6/5 Expert players may beat it in a week or two, but you want to play this forever!!!!!!!!!!

Sound-4/5- The Sound is almost as good as SMB3's, but the music isn't perfect, but for a game boy game, it's fairly solid.

the good- cool enemies, powers, levels. great replay value.

the bad- it's a tad short.

the ugly- The Three Little Pigs and Wario.

I really like this game a lot. The game has six different zones, with at least one secret level in each one. After that there's...Wario's Castle! Another thing I like about this game is that you can cash your coins in for things like extra lives in a slot-machine like manner of chance. This game also has very good graphics for a Game Boy game from 1992, and looks sharp on the Game Boy Color. The controls are easy to figure out, but sometimes, when Mario runs, he can slide, and he can't jump very high either. What I do like is that if you lose your Fire Flower of Rabbit Ears, you can still be big. I've beaten this game a lot, but it's still fun to do. It's a great buy.

This game is very fun! The only thing bad about the game is that it may start out easy but it gets VERY HARD. Three people can save this game at one time. ( Better than most games. ) It also has no passwords! Good! I hate writing passwords down. There are more than 20 levels of fun. ( I only know some because I didn't complete the game. I am 25% out of 100. ) The levels are underwater, Halloween, Legos, and more. Some enemies are saws, turtles, ghosts, witches, divers, and pigs. There is even different music when you go different places!

I have had this game for 4 years and I still like it.This game lets you store 3 different games! It's really fun and there are more than 25 full levels! Mario can put on bunny ears and slowly descend to the ground, he can have flower power and there are the classical gowing mushrooms. There are very unique enemy's, and I like the ability to save the number of lives that you have. You can play this game over and over. It is not to hard and it is not to easy, it is just the perfect diffuculty.

Super Mario Land 2 is way better than its first one. In this "retro review" we're going to look at what made this one of the best GB games of its time (but too bad just a year later we'd get "The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening").

The graphics were a major step above the first one and were actually stunning visuals for the GB. They look ALMOST like a snazzy early SNES game.

Gameplay actually very closely resembles Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. You've got your power ups that unlike the first Super Mario Land can actually TELL you grabbed them. The Flower Power up and the Bunny Ears (only seen in this one) are nice. The Bunny Ears is like the leaf in SMB3. Except that Mario can't fly but they allow him to glide down to safety.

The music is great for its time and even now it isn't bad. It's been about 11 years since its release and the tunes still play out in my head at times.

The Map is used in this one as well. Except you can't go and challenge old bosses which kind of stinks.

The story follows that Mario has lost his castle to Wario (no saving Princess Daisy in this one) and he can only get back into his castel using the six golden coins so he must set out to find them in one of the six different "Zones." What's nice about this is that you aren't forced to take the zones in any specific order at all! What's not to like about that. However, if you get a game over you have to find all six coins again.

For those whinning about no saving on Super Mario Land you can finally stop your bitchin' because this game incorporates an auto-save feature. It works well but there are moments where the game will erase the data on its own.

Overall this is still a worthwhile game even so many years later. Grab this game if you can and see what happens!

The Game "Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins" was probably the first game I received when I got my Gameboy somewhere between 1992-1993. I swear when I first got this game, I couldn't put it down for hours. The game was hard at first, but as you gain experience, it gets easier and easier (I might have beaten the game about 100 times now).

There are 6 different levels in this game, Space Zone, Pumpkin Zone, Mario Zone, Turtle Zone, Tree Zone, & Marco Zone which signifies the 6 golden coins concept. I'd say the hardest is the Space Zone (that took me a long time to beat at first), before you get to Wario's Castle. Some of the bosses are easy to beat also. There are also hidden stages in this game to find, and when you beat them the zone setting will change (like in the Tree Zone, you will see flowers and such).

Special powers aren't really anything too new. Mario can still become Super Mario (what happens when you get the mushroom) and spit fireballs. The new one is when he gets bunny ears which causes him to float in the air and continously jump when you hold the jump button. Which is also good is when you get hit when you have fire power or the bunny ears, you just become super mario again and not become small.

As I said before, I received this game sometime when it first came out, and it is still fun to play 13 years later. If you like the Super Mario games like I do, I recommend this to you.

P.S.- As I mentioned earlier, there are secret levels in every zone. I found all of them except the one for the Mario Zone. Is there one for that zone, and if it is can someone tell me how to get to it. That is the only one I do not have. Thanks.

My next-dor neighbor, Matt Aurand Has This and let me borrow it.
I am horrible at game boy, but it is fun! I love the level "Pumpkin Zone." It is VERY FUN!! I tried playing the level "Tree Zone," but I quit trying to beat it after 2 hours.
Matt Aurand ROCKS at this game, though. We both think it is the best game in the world!
Note to kids with a game boy advance sp or color:
Ask mom or dad to buy this for you off amazon if you want a fun challenge.
Sincerely,

(It might be hard to me because i am an adult and don't really know how to play Game Boy...Actually That Is Why!!!!!
So play it, kids!

This game on the GBC has great graphics, even better than most GBC games. This is a 1992 classic, and well worth every penny. At least 30 levels of fun, unlike that stupid Super Mario Land game (the original).

This was the first GameBoy game I ever played, and man it was a good one! This arguable the best portable Mario, because the ones for GBA didn't start as GameBoy games, are only ports. While not the most complex in any area, this is still one fine Mario title.

Graphics- Though GB is a 8-bit system, the graphics more closely resemble Super Mario World than anything. Overall pretty good. 8/10

Sound- Not the greatest, but most people should look much here (it is a GB game after all) 5/10

Gameplay- Very good. Button layout much like Super Mario, but can do a few more things. Mario SHOULD shine here. 9/10

Overall: 9/10 Definitly a good buy. A classic that proves hand-helds can compete with consoles.
