      I was thinking that a sequel where Tatanga returns and attacks Sarasaland. We still don’t have an explanation where he comes from or why he targeted Daisy and Sarasaland. Wario only took over Mario’s castle because he wasn’t there to protect it. I was thinking that the game starts in Sarasaland and Mario and friends set off to stop Tatanga. From there the alien flees and ends up in the Mushroom Kingdom and actually overthrows Bowser and takes over his Castle.

    What's also sad about Nintendo's refusal to acknowledge the Mario Land series is that it kinda takes away from Daisy's character too I think. If Sarsasaland was a more recognized locale in the Mario world and made more appearances and references in both spinoffs and mainline games, it could theoretically make Daisy herself more interesting seeing as she's supposed to be the ruler of it.
    Imagine if Princess Peach just existed in a vacuum with only the rare occasional mention of a "Mushroom Kingdom" that appeared ONCE in a short obscure gameboy game, and we knew of no other residents of the Musrhroom Kingdom like Toads, Toadette, Toadsworth, and locations like Princess Peach's castle were never truly fully realized and established... She'd just be some random princess character that just kinda exists. That's how it is for Daisy, because similarly Sarsasaland and by extension the Mario Land series gets microscopic attention from Nintendo.
    Heck- even Daisy herself is only relegated to sports and fighting spinoffs! Why hasn't she appeared in a mainline game, or Luigi's Mansion, or Paper Mario? It's all very unfortunate, and all relates back to Mario Land never getting the spotlight.

    Apparently the Sand Kingdom from Odyssey started out as potentially Birabuto...?
    That would've been such an awesome throwback and idk why they didn't go through with it.
    I like Mario Land 1 more but 2 is an awesome game that also deserves recognition. These are the games that shaped the company's handheld history (Land 1 being a launch title and Land 2 being overwhelmingly popular in its time). If not for them, we wouldn't have the GBA giving us the best potential fourth 2D Sonic games as a whole trilogy (the Sonic Advance series), nor the apex of the Pokemon franchise in the DS era (heck, we likely wouldn't even have Pokemon, or at least it wouldn't be as big of a success if the Game Boy itself wasn't).
    Even the competition it helped shape, with SEGA's Game Gear giving us titles like Tails Adventure.
    The Mario Land series absolutely deserves the recognition, as the titles that shaped what the Game Boy could do, while also being the most innovative 2D Mario titles to date in part thanks to console limitations (a true example of "restriction breeds creativity").

    I had a Game Boy before I got any consoles, so the two SML games were the first Mario games I owned. I love how almost every level in both games has its own visual theme with its own unique enemies. Most mainline Mario games, even the newer ones, have only 3 to 6 themes for all the levels in the game.
    Considering that Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga had references to almost every Mario game to date, including some obscure ones, I'm disappointed that there really weren't references to the Super Mario Land games. I guess there are Goombas with scuba helmets, like in the SML2 whale level, but nothing else I could think of.

    This was quite an amazing retrospective.
    Looking back, it's weird how Nintendo shoved Super Mario Land to the side when there was so much hype surrounding it back in the day, like that rap song you mentioned and even in a Pepsi promotion.
    Sadly, nowadays, people are quick to dismiss Super Mario Land, even going as far as saying the only reason why the Game Boy WAS successful was because of Pokemon. -_- Nothing against Pokemon (the older gens anyway), but like you mentioned, if it wasn't for that and Tetris. The Game Boy would have flopped, and maybe mobile gaming wouldn't exist for probably another 10 years or so.
    Despite having the DX hacks, and even New Super Mario Land on the SNES, I still hold onto to my hard copies of the original for the very reason you mentioned. If there's another game that is deserving of getting the Samus Returns treatment, it's definitely Super Mario Land.

      Anybody who says that Pokemon was the reason for the success of the Game Boy is a fool. Pokemon came out in 1996. The Game Boy was released in 1989 and was already 7 years old at the time of Pokemon's release: it wouldn't have lasted that long if it hadn't been a success beforehand. If anything, Pokemon extended the Game Boy's lifespan.

    I love how Nintendo listened to you , so they re-released Super Mario Land 2 for the Switch ( as a Nintendo Switch Online emulator game ).

    To answer a possible reason as to why these games don't get more love, I think it's due to them being VERY weird if you try to explain their aspects in the current context of Mario:
    - Daisy being Mario's love interest
    - Wario's absence from the other mainline games aside from the side games and spin-offs (the sport, party, and kart games)
    - The idea of Mario having a castle and/or private island when normally he just has a simple house
    - Not much alien iconography usage afterwards
    - Some of the very obvious real world parallels and concepts, plus a couple that MIGHT be copyright issues (mostly the Jason enemy type), although like you said Odyssey uses a lot of the same types of ideas
    - There not really being any obvious ties between Tatanga and Wario aside from one old character encyclopedia that only HINTS that Tatanga partnered up with Wario as revenge against Mario. (Also is weirdly only noted as "Alien" in preview material)

    Even as a Gen Zer I love Super Mario Land 2. I just played some of it yesterday on the new GameBOY Virtual Console and I gotta say, I love how uniquely weird it is. The references to fairy tales, pop culture, and even Nintendo's old "R&B" LEGO competitor from the 60's are so funny to me. I also love how it's the only Mario game that really has Mario setting a goal for himself rather than saving or doing quests for others; it's good variety from the usual princess-saving, and it shows he has a backbone for himself despite his selflessness. I even love the rabbit power-up! It's such a neat little thing, I'm considering getting that DX fan-remaster for my computer too.

    Super Mario Land 3 was such a great game. Had much fun with it. One of the first games I truely spend my time on trying to expand my castle. In part motivated by other kids at school who showed me their castle and I felt like I could do better :D

  • @wariodude128
    @wariodude128 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    You know, Wario Land was a great sequel to Six Golden Coins. It kept the powerup idea and had a thing where beating some levels altered previous ones. Wario Land 3 is my favourite game of all time. Wrote an essay on it awhile back about why it's the most unique metroidvania ever made. Did a reading of it on my channel just because. kiro talks, if you make a video on the Wario Land series, I give you permission to use the audio from said video where I read the essay and add in images or video clips you think would work with it. Could even say something like, "Take it away, wariodude" if you think my take on the game is better than anything you could say about it. Doubt you'll see this, but if you do please consider the suggestion.

    This was actually my very first Mario game ever, and it was a really good first impression, and being baffled that Mario was with Daisy instead of Luigi. It was a really fun and remember beating it all in one go was a challenge me and my brother made up (he won)

    i loved super mario compact disco!!!(especially go mario go & save me with your charm though odd princess daisy doesn't show up on the title.)
    i loved the uniqueness of the super mario land series especially interesting like the characters(especially princess daisy,wario & captain syrup.:3),the starman having the can can theme,mario having a castle that outside mario party haven't seen since,wario(he also had the same designer of samus aran from metroid.) getting his start getting tatanga to kidnap daisy(be funny if daisy referenced it still being miffed at wario for it.) and distract mario to take over(which the commercials really showed with how crazy he looked.) with him deciding to make his own castle after getting defeated trying to steal a princess peach(only time she shows up in any way in land.lol) statue from captain syrup and sarasaland being based on different areas of the world.
    i remember hearing originally in odyssey along with isle delfino sarasaland was going to appear with princess daisy searching for the moons(if not a multiplayer mode that should've been luigi's spot helping her instead of a broken minigame.) and nintendo really needs to start showing focus to these(instead of 3d all stars for mario's 35th it should've been a collection of the sports,rpg's & other spinoff's.)/their other non pokemon and zelda franchises as i'd love to see more from land like princess daisy being in a 3d game(think she should've been in the year of luigi as i love the 2's moments together/show how they met after mario saved her.:3),the style of level traveling & bringing back captain syrup.(would love to see her in the warioware games/the main villain of a new wario land game with waluigi & the warioware gang helping wario.)

    OMG I got that CD Ambassadors of Funk, It is curious that someone finally mentions it since it is one of those many lost Nintendo musical pieces, Mario Land deserves more love and that it be given the respect it deserves, seriously it is incredible that toruzz has done a better colorization of these games, improve framerate, remove some bugs and be able to play with Luigi
    Nintendo is losing respect and affection for their games. Good video I subscribe

    I had super Mario land 2 back in the day on the original game boy (1994) I remember spending hours getting through all the secrets. Im pretty sure it had a save feature but it didn’t save if you couldn’t defeat Wario. From what I remember once all 6 coins are collected the castle door is open for the Wario level, but i kept losing on Wario. When you lose to Wario, he takes away the 6 golden coins, and doesn’t save, meaning you had to do the 6 other bosses again. I tried many times but gave up in the end without completing it. I also purchased the 3DS virtual console version when it was released but didn’t spend much time on it. I really want to complete it, so I may give it another go in the near future. Great video, nostalgia from seeing the levels again 👍🇬🇧

    I love both these games. I own the original Mario Land for my Game Boy Colour, and I bought both Mario Land games on my 3DS. I've finished or at least gotten close to finishing both, & I loved playing both of them. With how different they are to the standard Mario formula, I'd love to see some of this magic return for a new Mario game, whether 2D or 3D!

    Cool fact: Ragumo (the mole enemies from Super Mario Land 2) are actually confirmed to be relatives of Monty Mole in several Japanese sources (in Super Mario-kun volume 6, they were even redesigned to look more like the Monty Mole design from said manga). I really thought it was cool that this obscure game expanded upon the Monty Mole lore by making a new relative to them that live in Mario’s private island for some reason. Still, it was really cool they were expanding the Monty Mole lore even early on considering the first Monty Mole species was not even Monty Mole and was Rocky Wrench (unlike the Galaxy games which just made a random ass completely separate mole species (Undergrunts) not even confirmed to be afflicted with the Monty Mole species, probably due to them being lazy and hideous) (also yes I do hate the Galaxy games)

    i think id even rank mario land 2 as my second favourite just behind smb3
    the super ball flower in mario maker 2 was so nice to see since both these games go unrecognised and i absolutely love them
    even just throwbacks like mentions or references to sarasaland or mario land (the place) would be awesome. imagine odyssey dlc or odyssey 2 where we get to explore mario land and marios castle or having a new super mario bros game have you go to sarasaland and getting to see new levels for their cool themes in the modern mario style

    Super Mario Land as a whole despite it’s differences and such is really neat. I continue loving the 2nd one the most after playing it since I was a toddler and whatnot but I’m hoping they both get more attention thanks to this with time.

    No one has forgotten this series. The people who knew about it remembers it very well. The thing is, it's been decade's... Kids now a days just have never heard about these games and have no interest so current generations just missed on gaming history. Me personally, know these games inside and out, and love them all.
