Super Mario Land, is your stereotypical platforming game where you go left to right, trying to reach a goal at the end. As a platforming game, it's fine.

What's good about Super Mario Land?

Unlike other Mario Games, this one is stranger than most with enemies and characters that haven't returned since.

There is more to platforming in this game, in this game for 2 levels (2-3 and 4-3) Mario doesn't platform and the game becomes a shooter with a Submarine (2-3) and Airplane (4-3) respectfully.

You get a level select if you beat the game, twice.

What's bad about Super Mario Land?

It's incredibly short with 4 worlds and 3 levels per world.

The game gets really hard for no reason towards the end with enemy spam (especially in 4-3) compared to the rest of the game, which is made even worse due to the fact when you die you start from the very beginning again.

The controls are awkward, with Mario going too fast moving left or right and the Jump doesn't feel satisfactory due to having no weight which makes it feel off.

Overall, this game is meh, but it's fun to play once in a while, but beware of it's difficultly.
