One of the greatest technological achievements on the SNES. You'd think the idea of making a game on the SNES with NSMB DS sprites and models (including custom-made models) would make for a visual mess, but the visuals are actually quite appealing and mostly stylistically consistent, and the game runs well in most circumstances. It really makes me wish an official SNES Mario game actually looked like this; it would've been groundbreaking in the 90s. Giving the ugliest and most boring mainline Mario game this new visual style makes the game so much more enjoyable, and I was actually able to bring myself to complete it in one sitting. Hell, it even made me realize that the level design in Mario Land is actually not half bad. Also, wall jumps are here too for some reason. That's pretty nifty.
It pains me to give this a mediocre score, but it's still pretty clear that there's a lot of work to be done. The physics were completely redone from the original game, but they still don't feel right. It feels consistent, but just isn't fit for precise platforming (namely level 3-2, which also sucked in the original). Mario's animations look stilted, and there's a clear lack of polish with enemy and object hitboxes. I somehow died by jumping over the goal post. And the remastered soundtrack also could've been a lot better. It's surprisingly lackluster and loses most of the charm of the original music. It's also... still Super Mario Land, meaning it's done in like half an hour and doesn't offer much you haven't seen elsewhere.
This is a great proof of concept, and it has the potential to become great in general if it's given further attention and improvements. I'd love to see Mario Land 2 remade in this style.

Não dá pra acreditar que é um game feito por fãs. É um remake da versão do game boy com as características das versão new.
É fácil um dos melhores jogos do snes.

Amazing homebrew game, specially since the SNES doesn't receive as many love as the Mega Drive in terms of newer games.
It is a 1:1 remake of the GB game, but with pre-rendered graphics (think Donkey Kong Country) in the style of New Super Mario Bros, thus the title.
Can be beaten in one sit, which is probably what you gonna do, since there's no save feature.

I'm honestly very impressed at how great of a job the homebrewer who made this did at recreating the original Game Boy classic, into this beautiful, full-colored New Super Mario Bros art-style game. Sure it's still a short game, only taking about 30 minutes to beat, but it's such a fun time that I don't care, I'll happily beat it as many times as I can just to squeeze more Mario enjoyment out of it. This is, in my opinion, the definitive way to experience this wonderful Game Boy classic title in the modern day and age, and it definitely helps the game to stand on its own two feet as a great Mario game overall, instead of just being "a good Mario game for the Game Boy", I would love to one day see Super Mario Land 2 6 Golden Coins remade in this style as well, but even if it never happens, I'm grateful we at least got this. The combination of classic Mario 2D platforming + side-scrolling shoot-em-up gameplay also really does help to mix up the gameplay. Give this one a go, I highly recommend it.
