Really cute little Mario game and such a huge leap forward after SML1, and definitely the best traditional Mario platformer released on GB/GBC. As with most Game Boy games, it's not overly long (but offers much more than its predecessor) and relatively simple to get through with lots of secrets to find on the way. The final level does introduce quite a big difficulty spike however, but I did actually find myself very much enjoying the challenge this time around, but I have found it very frustrating in the past.

5/5 coz this game introduced my boi Wario
