Super Mario Land

When I got my GameBoy for Christmas, I also got Super Mario Land.  My GameBoy didn't come with a game, while my sister's came with Tetris.  I was stocked, I love Mario!  The game is basically a classic platformer, with new enemies and bosses.  (Bowser wasn't in this game, and you were try to save Daisy not Princess Toadstool)

Even though I loved this game, I never was able to beat the final boss.  I downloaded the game to my 3DS and I finally beat it!  Mission Accomplished.  But the payoff wasn't that satisfying.

Here's what you get.  NOTE:  Movie Maker wasn't working properly, so this unfortunately is unedited.

Super Mario Land 2

I recently purchased this game from the Nintendo e-store on my 3ds.  I never had this game as a child, but always wanted to play it.  I believe it cost me $3.99 for the game, not too shabby.

To me this game is long and difficult. The point of the game is to get 6 golden coins and beat the final boss, who is a really big and fat Wario.  If you lost the game you had to start all the way over.  Which sucks, but on the 3ds there is a feature that lets you save and you can start over from that point. 

This game is classic and very enjoyable to play.  I'm going to attach some screenshots of the game itself.  On the 3DS version you can play in black and white or the seaweed green version.

Sorry for the short, horrible entry.  I've been working 7 days a week and haven't had much spare time.  I'm sorry!

ETA:  I can't believe I forgot to mention this.  There is a new power up in this game. To me, it looks like a carrot and it makes you fly.  It gives you wings that come out of your hat.  Of course, the original power ups are still in this game. (the mushroom, fire flower, and star)  You also get to fight a slew of new villains and bosses.  Overall I would recommend  this game!

The original gameboy

This year a got a DS lite and was immediately brought back to childhood and the memories I had with my Gameboy.  I only had the original version, which meant that I saw seaweed green.  It was the best Christmas ever!  My parents also got me Super Mario Land to go with it.  They even had enough money to get my younger sister one too. It was such a huge deal to me to have my own handheld system. You could play it whenever you wanted and play what you wanted.  I also saved up and bought the TaleSpin game for mine.  It wasn't a very good game and rarely played it, because it was so hard and some stages where so dark that you couldn't see very well, especially when everything was in a black or greenish color.  My favorite game by far was Super Mario Land. I'm not a gammer and don't pretend to be one, but that game was challenging, but was also a lot of fun.  (I still don't think that I have ever beat it)

I remember being very jealous of my cousin because he had an NES in his bedroom, a Gameboy, and a Sega Game Gear.  My Gameboy still works, and just sold the system, the Super Mario Land game, TaleSpin game, and the carrying case on ebay.  I desperately needed the money and if I knew how little I would have gotten for that lot, I would still have them in my possession.
