20 Best Game Boy & Game Boy Colour Games Of All Time
3. Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins is easily one of the best 2D Mario games ever made.
In Super Mario Land 2 you travel to Mario Land because apparently Mario is rich enough to buy his own country and has the nerve to name it after himself.
Wario has taken over his castle so he must travel to six areas in his land to obtain the six golden coins which allow Mario access to his home. Most people have a key for their house, Mario apparently needs six magical macguffins.
The game is great. It introduces Bunny Mario, a power-up that allows Mario to fly. Do you think Nintendo knows that rabbits can't fly in real life?
The six areas that you visit are some of the most creative in the series.
Tree Zone and Turtle Zone are pretty standard worlds but then there's the Halloween themed Pumpkin Zone where you fight Jason masks, Macro Zone where you're shrunk to the size of an ant, Space Zone because Super Mario Galaxy was not the first time Mario visited the final frontier, and Mario Zone because if naming a country after himself wasn't enough, he also created a giant robot that looks like him.
