CESA Games White Papers). Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association. 2021. ISBN 978-4-902346-43-5. This game is notable for its inclusion of different or unrelated enemies and sound effects compared to traditional titles. Additionally, though the game did not receive critical acclaim, mainly due to its graphical capabilities and shortness in length, it sold extremely well, eventually totaling over 18 million copies sold, making it the fourth best-selling game for the Game Boy overall. The game was later rereleased for the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console in 2011, over twenty years after the original game was released. Development [ edit ] Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto (pictured 2015) was "famously hands-off" in the development of Super Mario Land. [5]

Super Mario Land was developed by Nintendo R&D1 and published by Nintendo in 1989 as a launch game for its Game Boy handheld console. [5] Nintendo CEO Hiroshi Yamauchi believed that fun games promote console sales, [8] so when the company created the Game Boy, he wanted a fun game featuring Nintendo's mascot, Mario. [9] The task came to Nintendo R&D1, a development team led by Game Boy inventor Gunpei Yokoi. [9] Yokoi had previously created the Game & Watch series and worked with his protégé, Shigeru Miyamoto, on the game that invented Mario, Donkey Kong. [8] Super Mario Land is the fourth Super Mario game, [1] the first portable Mario game, and the first in the series to be made without Miyamoto. [9] Unlike other Mario games, which take place in the Mushroom Kingdom, Super Mario Land is set in Sarasaland and drawn in line art. Mario pursues Princess Daisy, in her debut, rather than the series standard damsel in distress, Princess Peach. When jumped on, Koopa shells explode after a small delay, Mario throws bouncing balls rather than fireballs (referred to as “Superballs” in the manual), 1-Up Mushroom power-ups are depicted as hearts, and the level-end flagpoles are replaced with a platforming challenge. The following objects and obstacles exist within the game, either to help, hurt, or hinder Mario and his progress.

Super Mario Land also introduced Princess Daisy, who briefly supplanted Peach as Mario’s damsel in distress.Your goal is to traverse each level and reach the exit doors: the bottom door will take you out of the level, but the more difficult to reach door near the top of the screen will give you a shot at playing an end-of-level mini-game where you can earn power-ups and free lives.
