Super Mario Land is a pretty average game. That’s really all I can say about it. If I’m being totally honest, I’d actually say it’s the worst mainline Mario game, besides [[Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels|a certain game]]. This game just doesn’t have that much substance. It can be best described as “[[Super Mario Bros|SMB1]], but shorter.” Sure, it’s obviously worth noting that [[Daisy]] was introduced here, and that there is a [[Superball Flower|cool new]] (and only) [[Superball Flower| power up]], but besides that, it’s just a game that I’d say would be good to play on a car ride, but not really anywhere else. 4.5/10. Of course, being a Mario game, getting crowned the worst mainline Mario game really isn’t an insult. This is actually a pretty fun game, just not that great. | Super Mario Land is a pretty average game. That’s really all I can say about it.

One thing I can say is that the music is outstanding, however. | ||

Yeah, so I kind of forgot about all the retro games I played. I also have to put this game and a few others here. But did I forget about them because they were bad? Well… maybe with this one. Look, this game is ''not'' horrible, but I think its legacy is better than the game. It started an amazing series, but the game itself has aged kind of poorly. The controls are clunky, and there’s your average artificial and ridiculous [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] difficulty, especially towards the end. While nowhere near as bad as its Japanese only sequel, I think it’s best to remember what this game did rather than how good it actually was. Sometimes that doesn’t happen, like with the first Star Wars movie. That one tended to be better than the following movies. But in this case, the series has aged so much that it’s hard to come back to this one. If I replay this game, it’s probably only for the novelty factor, especially the original considering how the remakes are superior in every way besides nostalgia. 5/10. You might hate me for saying that, but I have to give my honest opinion. | Yeah, so I kind of forgot about all the retro games I played. I also have to put this game and a few others here.

Super fun game. 9/10. | |||
Okay, fine, I’ll give a detailed description. There’s a common debate over whether this game or [[Super Mario World|another game]] are the best 2D Mario games. If I had to pick one, I’d say the other game only slightly wins here. It’s pretty close, but that game is just a little better. Anyway, about this game, it hasn’t aged as poorly as the first. Despite being occasionally unfair and sometimes having… [[World 7-7 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|''questionable'' level design]], most of the time, this game is very fun. It’s hard, but it tends to feel like natural difficulty and not artificial. The power ups are super fun, too. Except the [[Frog Suit]], but even that’s fun underwater (it’s also the ''only'' way to make underwater fun). This game is fun whether it’s the original or a remake. I totally recommend this. After all, it inspired 3D Land, and as you know, I love that game. Like I said before, this game is a 9/10. | |||
