Temper tantrum tyrant seizes Mario Land!
In his greatest Game Boy adventure, Mario faces off against his evil rival Wario, who has captured Mario Land and turned it into his private playground.
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. Read More »

This is still one of my favorite Mario games. And perhaps is the best game of the orginal black and white GB. The Super Mario World style graphics are amazing and the adventure is addictive.

The only thing I didn't like about this game the first time around was that it was fairly hard to see on the old Game Boy screen at times. But now that I have my Super Game Boy 2, it's no big deal.
A fantastic game!

The first time I played it was 1998 on the Super Game Boy. I think the game is timeless. I will play it anytime, anywhere.
I was more of a Lynx fan in the early 90s. Although, I was pretty jealous of all of the addictive, puzzle games that came out for the GB around 1990. Qix, Quarth, Boxxle, and Tetris are all classics.
When I got my SNES with Super Mario All-Stars in 1995. I quickly bought a Super Game Boy to play Qix. I think I got Qix for $5.00 new at KB Toys. That was a deal!

I actually prefer Mario Land 1 over this one. It's still a good game though.

I always felt the controls were a little loose on Mario Land 1. Also, it would of been nice to save the game.

I remember I was in 1st class in primary school (I was about 7) some kid in my class had it and I played it for about 10 mins (then it was home time)
The next day I bought a Game Boy package which included this game and the first one. All my Christmas money was spent on it and I never looked back since. Don't think IO ever stopped playing it either lol

What a truly great game this is! I can't believe they got such a fantastic, well presented and deep game onto that tiny little Gameboy cartridge. The fact it holds it's own against the other Mario games sums up what an achievement it is. Shame it never got the GBA reboot given to the NES and SNES Mario games as I would've loved to see this game in higher resolution and colour.

@Mr. 64
It has color if you play it on the GBA.

I love this game. I picked it up recently, and I've been having a blast with it. Now I need to get the prequel.
