I've had a hankering to try the Wario Land games, and figured I'd build towards the "Super Mario Land 3" aspect of that first Wario Land by replaying its predecessors. Crazy to think that this deranged little thing was all the Super Mario there was on a handheld for a while. It resembles Super Mario Bros. enough that you think you know how it works, but everything's just a bit off... Play it and you'll see what I mean. It took me about 45-minutes to beat and it's not exactly mind-blowing, but it's got a personality all its own, so I'd say that's 45-minutes well-spent.
