Official description

Mario faces off against his evil rival Mario who has captured Mario land and turned it into his private playground in this classic adventure.

To toss Wario off his ill-gotten throne, Mario must search all-new worlds for the six golden coins that unlock the gate to Mario's castle. A mob of monsters, old and new, seek to stop him. Along the way, through 6 zones, Mario can nab Power Mushrooms, Super Stars and Fire Flowers for extra power. And if he eats the Magic Carrot, he'll turn into a high-flying hare!

Description

Mario returns in a brand new Game Boy adventure! Bigger graphics, better sound, and more stages! Super Mario Land 2 also introduces Wario, a new villain for Mario to battle. The new "bunny ears" power-up can be obtained to allow Mario to jump for greater distance and float safely to the ground. Collect the six golden coins from the six different areas to gain entrance to Wario's (stolen) castle and take back what's yours!
