Picross 2 is a Japan-only game for the Game Boy and the sequel to Mario's Picross and Mario's Super Picross. It keeps most of the same elements of its predecessor, as it deals with a grid and solving puzzles to form images. But unlike the first Mario's Picross, this game contains a world map. Also, the pictures are larger, consisting of four 15x15 picross boards. Both Mario and Wario return and each have different sets of puzzles to solve in the game, giving the player a variety in gameplay.

Played this and replayed Mario Picross 1 and Super Mario Picross but only logging this one.
It's picross, you already know if you're gonna like it or not. This one has a lot of character, probably the best of the 3.

Go and play this game. I am serious. I took a look at this game when I was working at Emucamp (which was rare since I hardly ever tested anything), and I had to add the news the next day, because I was so busy playing it. :) My roommate wondered what the hell I was doing, so I sent him the rom and got him hooked, and my friend walked in on the two of us playing it and HE got hooked, and even started making a PC version of his own, which didn’t last very long. Yes, it is that cool. Everyone go play. There’s even an in-game tutorial, so shut up about not knowing how to play.

Pretty sure this was the first time I ever bought a Japanese copy of a game. Anything for my beloved Picross.
Had no idea this existed until not too long ago. It's pretty similar to the first game, though it's wayyyy bigger. Each puzzle is split up into four individual grids which each have their own puzzles, so they can take up to 20 minutes to complete at times, especially in the later levels where things become more complex. Still, it's a lot of fun to blast through them. I did only technically beat half of the game, however, as there is a mode where you play as Wario, and the game doesn't tell you when you make a mistake, which adds a layer of depth to the puzzle solving I don't really enjoy. I didn't do many puzzles on Wario's mode but I completed Mario's which felt plenty satisfying. 4/6
