Wario has stolen Mario's castle, and Mario must collect six golden coins to get it back. It traded the first Land's weirdness for big sprites, a world map and Mario's brand-new rival.
Kit's verdict · 8.3/10
A charming, inventive Game Boy platformer that introduced the best villain Mario ever got.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Big, expressive sprites
- Free-choice world map with six zones
- Bunny Mario and the Macro Zone
Not so much
- Very easy
- Floaty physics compared to console Mario
Play it if anyone who wants a short, sweet slice of classic Mario.
Skip it if players looking for a real challenge.

Tips
Play it better

- Wario's castle stays locked until you hold all six coins, so clear every zone boss before heading there.
- The Carrot turns Mario into Bunny Mario, letting him float slowly to the ground.
- Jump high enough to ring the bell above a level's exit to play a bonus game for lives and power-ups.
- Spend coins at the map's slot machine for extra lives and power-ups.
