Concluyendo, Super Mario Land es uno de esos juegos que están en el recuerdo de millones de jugadores por méritos propios, si bien no llega a considerarse una Obra Maestra por diversos factores, especialmente su escasísima duración, y una nula utilización del sistema donde trabaja, así como algunos fallitos puntuales, sí que alcanza el sobresaliente. No es el mejor de su subsaga, pero sí un título altamente recomendable para amantes de las plataformas o fans del fontanero.

Playability to the nth degree! This game is guaranteed a semi-permanent place in my Game Boy, along with Tetris of course. They don’t come much better than this, with great graphics and a tough challenge.

Nintendo Land
Mario´s first adventure on the Game Boy takes him to a strange world named Sahara where he must rescue Princess Daisy (the Princess of Sahara Land) from the vicious space monster named Tatanga. This game is much like SMB 1 with as simple gameplay and graphics, but here Mario gets the chance to control both a airplane and a submarine. Although Super Mario Land is just a little bit too easy (i completed it on my 5:th or 6:th try!) it´s still a great game who should be owned by all serious Game Boy owners.

Ultimately Super Mario Land is an adequate platformer with some fun themes and novelty levels, but nothing that stands head and shoulders above its contemporaries. It's a fun deviation from the classic series yet unfortunately one that fails to capture the magic of more heralded romps in the Mushroom Kingdom; the bizarreness is worth the experience, but not something you'll have to come back to.
