I am delighted that I had the opportunity to play and finish Super Mario Land 2 at the age of 42. I recently picked up an Analogue Pocket and wanted to play this game since I’ve heard great things.
I think this game is still fun despite it being an old game. The thing that stood out to me was how creative the worlds were. This is not your same old biome’s that most platformers, including the bulk of Mario games, puts on repeat. Instead you’ll be travelling inside a whale, visiting Halloween land, floating in space, and traversing a world of giant household items.
The game reminds me of what I love best about Nintendo. When they throw away the book and take a chance with their IP’s, they often strike on something special. This game is no exception, and it reminds me of Super Mario Odyssey in that way. Both games ooze with love and passion. I imagine the developers being locked away with the only rule being, “make the Mario game you’ve always wanted.”
