Even though Play Nintendo only got its start a little over a year ago, I've been reviewing games off and on for about four years. I was on my eBay account and dug up this Super Mario Land review I did back in 2008. I thought it would be a cool idea to dig up old reviews and share them with you guys. I will start this off with my early review for Super Mario Land! This was the first time I reviewed the game, but certainly not the last.
Story (3/5): Princess Daisy of Sarasaland has been captured, and it's up to Mario to save her. The story itself is fairly simple, but instead of the Mushroom Kingdom, it takes place in a completely different land. Princess Peach is nowhere to be found, and neither is Bowser, but that's not always a bad thing.
Game Play (5/5): Not much to say about the way the game plays other than awesome. It's a tried and true formula that works especially well for the Super Mario series. In Super Mario Land, however, you get to ride in a submarine and an airplane. This is a break from the traditonal 2D platforming and is much better than it sounds.
There are four worlds with three levels each, and they play like levels from the console versions of Super Mario Bros. Running, jumping on Goombas, Koopas, and avoiding other obstacles in true platforming action.
Controls (4/5): Controls are very simple, D-Pad moves Mario, press A to jump, and hold B to run. The only reason the controls don't get a 5/5 is that jumping isn't as tight as I would like it to be. This can cause some deaths if you're not being real careful.
Graphics (4/5): Graphics are what you would expect from an early Game Boy game, but that it isn't bad. You can easily tell what you can and can't jump on and enemies are all different and unique. Graphics are obviously nothing compared to today's standards, but that doesn't matter if your playing Game Boy.
Sound (5/5): The sound is excellent. Great music that you will likely get stuck in your head for hours on end.
Overall (4/5): If you collect Super Mario games, then this is one you need to have. E-bay is a great place to find this game for a reasonable price, and is sure to make any Mario fan very happy.
So, was this an interesting read? I have others that I could dig up for games like No More Heroes, Elebits the Adventure of Kai and Zero and a few others that escape me at the moment. These take me back to a time when I was just doing reviews for myself, sounds odd, but I guess I was just experimenting and seeing if this was something I'd like to continue doing. Here we are four years later and I do reviews for Play Nintendo readers and the internet as a whole on a consistent basis. I like how this turned out.
