That meant there was still work to be done.Ī year and four months later, as many are celebrating the 30th anniversary of Portable Power, Delgado has struck again to commemorate the occasion with an update to one of the Game Boy’s launch titles. Of course, as one can easily tell from the title, this was not Mario’s only adventure on the handheld platform. The patch, titled “ Super Mario Land 2 DX” (in the tradition of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX and R-TYPE DX, I have little doubt), updated the monochrome visuals of the original Game Boy title to the standards of the Game Boy Color, and even added the ability to play as Mario’s younger, taller, and usually looser-handling bro, Luigi.

With everything and the kitchen sink included, this cart makes other Game Boy titles seem like sink sludge.On Christmas Day in 2017, an individual by the name of Iván “toruzz” Delgado presented to the world a patch for Nintendo’s Game Boy title, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. With so many hidden stages and so much awesome action, your battery bill will run as high as the plumber's bill. Super Mario Land 2 is the kind of game that you'll play again and again. The game play is not effected by the little screen, and some stages are more challenging than their 8-bit counterparts. Super Mario Land 2 is the most fun found on the Game Boy in a long time. The other squash and shoot sound effects are exactly the same. When you reach the Invincibility Star, you'll hear a mambo Mario tune that gets your feet tapping and your shoulders moving. The music in this cart is cute (like the original) and different on each stage. Busy is what the man is, though, as you fight against Wario's weenie work force, which run the gamut of Mario mashing-turtles and piranha plants to tongue-lashing toads, scary skulls, skeleton bees, and even ghosts from Super Mario World. The screens fill up with hordes of harrassers, so it may look too busy sometimes. You'll travel through haunted graveyards, enchanted forests, and even the belly of a whale. This cart's graphics look good, an important factor since the advent of color hand-helds. Controlling Mario is as simple as any two-button game can get.
Moreover, you can ring bells along the way, which lets you begin from that point if you die. This cart is bigger and bushier than Mario's mustache. You can also save up to three games on the Game Boy, and you'll need that feature. You can grab a carrot that enables you to sprout rabbit ears and fly short distances. However, there are a few nifty maneuvers that set this game apart from its hand held predecessor. You even find Mushroom power-ups, Fire Rowers, and Invincibility Stars. The game play is identical to Super Mario Land and most of the other Mario carts. The quest for the coins takes Mario through six different levels (with three sub-levels each) of Mario-esque action, spanning everything from the darkest oceans to the deepest space. Unfortunately, Wario has scattered them all over the kingdom. In order for Mario to gain entrance to his manor, he has to collect the six coins needed to open the gate. Our peerless plumber now has to put up with a new archenemy, Wario, who's put an evil spell over the inhabitants of Mario Land and taken over Mario's castle. Super Mario Land 2: The 6 Golden Coins is the sequel to the Game Boy hit, Super Mario Land. Mario will drain you in this seven-level, multi-stage, mega game, but you'll love every minute of it. The most famous plumber since the Roto-Rooter man is lighting up Game Boy screens once again, and clearing the competition from the pipes.
