Land 1 is also very good and even less appreciated

>>6838080
Very true

macro makes more sense
mario didn't shrink, the house is supposed to be giant along with the enemies that live in it. he appears to shrink when entering the strip of land outside due to graphical limitations

>>6838076

They assume the name is supposed to be ralated to Mario, most likely because he usually changes size and not the surroundings. Obviously both works. If micro it would mean Mario's size, macro is means the area/zone's size.

Why did these games use public domain music instead of standard mario fare?

>>6838143
what do you mean?
You mean land 1?

>>6838076
this series didn't git gud until it began starring Wario

>>6838150
I guess I shouldn't say that like it wasn't mostly original music, but what the fuck was this?

>>6838192
Yeah, that inclusion always stood out like a sore thumb

>>6838197
It's weird but it kind of adds to the surreal feeling that the Land games had.

>>6838076
My favourite game of all time
It's certainly far easier than the original but feels huge, and is an astronomical leap forward in many ways.

>>6839850
Wario's final fight is hard.

>>6839938
Nah it's piss easy, and I felt the same way when I played the game as a kid. If anything Wario's castle is harder, I always fucked up the timing of jumping onto those moving platforms and the trap doors that trigger the fists falling always got me too. Wario's first phase is easy, the second might be hard if you're careless and with adult reflexes the final phase with the fireballs is piss easy. The game gives you power-ups between the phases too so that makes it even easier.
The weird cloud + Tatanga is way harder in retrospect, simply because people might lack shooter skills and fuck that up.

>>6838080
Literally the first game I ever played and just beat it for the first time yesterday. Great game.
>>6838192
I always assumed this was Mario music since I heard it for the first time in the game.

>>6838076
Macro fits more because it means you're heading into a gigantic area, not the other way around

>>6840039
Congrats anon, I hope that was cathartic. SML was also the very first game I ever played and when I beat it as a teenager it was immensely rewarding.

the color rom hack is great but the moon stages should have a black background not purple

SML1, 2 ad 3 are all magical timeless classics.

>>6838192
>>6840039
That's not Mario music? What is it from then?

>>6838080
>Land 1 is also very good
Much better than 2

>>6840050
Thnx Bro
>>6840292
It’s a remix of the Can Can song.

>>6840292
Offenbach wrote it, its a can-can (style of music) written in 1850 or so. Mario lands are great. Original super mario galaxy space levels and hippo snot bubble world was my favorite.

>>6838076
>also, why does everyone say that this was micro misspelled? Macro fits perfectly fine.
Macro and micro could both apply. Micro in the sense that Mario shrunk and is in a small world. Macro in the sense that because he is smaller, the world is bigger. It can go both ways

Im from texas so I say micro and micro almost the same anyways honestly

>>6842763
I mean macro and micro

>>6840921
yea it's not that weird when in context of nintendo just shoehorning western stuff in their games in the 80s.

>>6839938
>>6840003
The castle was a great final level. Just the right difficulty. Wario was pretty easy though. The hardest boss by far was the 3 pigs. Not least of all because they took 9 total hits to beat, 3 on each pig. The final phase was brutal. It really throws off your muscle memory since it's better to dodge under the pig instead of above it like the first two.

>>6840921
Hippo snot level was my shit!

>>6838076
I find Super Mario Land2 so depressing. Something about the world and atmosphere is so off and wrong. Anyone else noticing that? I never was able to enjoy it. The game is just designed very wrong in acoustics and visuals.

>>6843068
Would you say that the game has a negative emotional aura?

>>6838076
Nah it's appreciated about as much as it should be. It's way too easy, short, zoomed in, the physics are pirate game tier, and the music isn't anything special. It has some weird zones though, doesn't it?

Land 1 is vastly superior because it has a better sense of scope and its own identity. This one just felt like a World bootleg.

>>6843068
Did you mean to type Mario 64?

Who the fuck says they spelled micro wrong? Clearly just a big house.

>>6840040
This. Third world ESLs can't into language. I can't believe people actually thought this was a typo all this time.

>>6842784
I dissagre the hardest boss was the moon boss if you didnt have a fireflower.

>>6843225
While i like the music in land 2 i agree on the physics.

>>6838076
I made it to Warios's world but never beat it. One day I'll return.

>>6838080
I much prefer it to 2, 2's bigger sprites and level design never really grabbed me. SML also has some of the best music in the series. Shame nothing about its ever been revisited, Sarasaland was a cool location and it would be fun to see some of the characters like Tatanga and the Sphinx in spinoffs.

Where my microbros at?

>>6843225
Wow dumb

>>6845041
>>6843225
Can someone explain to me what exactly is wrong with the physics? I've played Land 1 and Land 2. Is it the jump or is it the slippery 180?

>>6847169
Mario is kinda floaty and has low air mobility

>>6847169
They just dont feel the same on console. A bit more floaty maybe. But I like the difference on the gb.
