So I went back and tried this game, and it's not as good as I remember...It was one of my favorite games as a kid, but I don't enjoy it much now. It seems really easy, and the level design doesn't seem that interesting. I'm kind of disappointed, although I do like a fair amount of the aesthetic touches. What are your thoughts on this game? Also, what are some other games that weren't as good as you remember?

I really liked it. It had this really offbeat and surreal feel that other Mario games didn't have. The enemies and worlds were completely different from the typical Mario status quo. I kinda wish we could get another mario platformer like this that wasn't supervised by Shigeru Miyamoto, where mario goes to strange worlds outside of the Mushroom Kingdom.

I like the 2spooky level.

The game is really easy. Seriously, people always say Mario World or modern Mario is easy but it has nothing on Mario Land 2.

>> No.1679440

I like it. It's a Mario game finally not about rescuing Peach. You collect six fucking golden coins, it's awesome. Also no Bowser final boss and the introduction of based Wario.

I never actually played it until a few years ago, maybe 2010 or something, and it had me hooked for a long time. I consider it to be the true successor to Super Mario World. Kind of wish there could have been more like it, I like Wario Land but another game in the vein of Land 2 would have been really cool, especially if they found a way to add Yoshi or something. The outlandish worlds and enemies only add to the fun. I feel like this is what Wacky Worlds wanted to be, but on a larger scale. I don't really mind the easiness as I'm pretty casual anyway.

Yeah, its pretty easy. Still a great play though, and some of my favorite mario music to this day

>> No.1679616

I think the game really suffers from its lack of a color scheme. I wish it came out a few years later for GBC, because the color palette could have been cool with areas like Pumpkin World.

i think it's lame if you get a game over, it takes away all the "big coins"

You're wrong, OP. The game was shit when you were a kid, too.

>> No.1679896

Yeah I think it's one of the most overrated games on some circles of the internet. It's garbage. RIDICULOUSLY easy, nearly the difficulty of a kids educational game. Cool graphics, but that's it. The original Super Mario Land was a lot better.

I have a similar experience as OP, liked it as a kid but never finished it. Played it again a few years ago and it was not nearly as good as I remembered it and extremely easy. For some reason I thought it was harder as a kid, it could have something to do with the terrible gameboy screen

Everything is harder when you're playing it for the first time, and/or you're a kid.

Wario´s castle was suddenly hard compared to the rest of the game anyway.

>all these people saying how easy it was

I had a really hard time with it, the space level for one. Until I realised you could hug the top of the screen at least
Also the fucking 3 Little Pigs boss, must have given me more Game Overs than I can remember

Anyway, really loved the game. Wanted to pick it up again soon
