Super Mario Land was one of the launch games for the Gameboy in Japan. The gameplay is typical Mario-style with similar good controls as in the NES games. The game has enough variety in the levels, including two shooter levels, to keep you interested until the end. The only big flaw I saw is the really low difficulty level. If you have some experience with Mario from the NES you will find yourself playing through this game nearly instantly, and that although there is no possibillity to save your game.

edit articleThe first Super Mario game not produced by Shigeru Miyamoto, and it shows. The game is a bit different in feel from other games in the series. The enemies and stages are somewhat familiar, but also completely different from past experiences with Nintendo's favorite plumber. That being said, this also helps to distinguish it a bit. Side-scrolling shooter stages in both sea and air help to break up the gameplay and add something new. The graphics are primitive, but it's just as fun as you'd expect.
