"Before Super Mario 3D Land with all its fancy schmancy terrain, there was Super Mario Land, a much simpler game that appeared on the Game Boy. Super Mario Land is similar to Super Mario Bros. 2 in the sense that it's actually quite unique from other games in the history of the franchise. Despite a fair amount of flaws that prevent it from being inducted into a list of the very best Mario titles to date, it has enough personality to draw you in regardless." -- Wiiloveit.com 67/100
