We need a Mario game where it takes place in Sarasaland again. We have yet to see what Daisys Castle even looks like in the games.
One where you play as Daisy, and she beats the heck out of enemies, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat-style.
I was thinking that a sequel where Tatanga returns and attacks Sarasaland. We still don’t have an explanation where he comes from or why he targeted Daisy and Sarasaland. Wario only took over Mario’s castle because he wasn’t there to protect it. I was thinking that the game starts in Sarasaland and Mario and friends set off to stop Tatanga. From there the alien flees and ends up in the Mushroom Kingdom and actually overthrows Bowser and takes over his Castle.
While the castle is beyond me, I have a feeling Sarasaland would look similar to Daisy Circuit from Mario Kart Wii.
I’m amazed the Mario RPGs never went to sarasaland
True
It’s fascinating how technically there’s an ongoing story from Mario Land to Wario Land 2. That’s 4 games where the events of one directly lead to the next.
Technailly is Wario Land 2: Mario Land 4
@@Ykb_12 Mario is no longer involved with the story at all in Wario Land 2 (he was a indirect influence on 3 and then directly showed up at the end to take the giant Peach statue the pirates stole back to the Mushroom Kingdom himself before Wario could ransom it) but if you want to go by continuation of plot then technically it could be considered Mario Land 4.
technically mario land and warioware are from the same line of games
@@MatheoZ14 Warioware is a different line of games than Wario Land
@@supercamborg4218 it started from wario land tho
What's also sad about Nintendo's refusal to acknowledge the Mario Land series is that it kinda takes away from Daisy's character too I think. If Sarsasaland was a more recognized locale in the Mario world and made more appearances and references in both spinoffs and mainline games, it could theoretically make Daisy herself more interesting seeing as she's supposed to be the ruler of it.
Imagine if Princess Peach just existed in a vacuum with only the rare occasional mention of a "Mushroom Kingdom" that appeared ONCE in a short obscure gameboy game, and we knew of no other residents of the Musrhroom Kingdom like Toads, Toadette, Toadsworth, and locations like Princess Peach's castle were never truly fully realized and established... She'd just be some random princess character that just kinda exists. That's how it is for Daisy, because similarly Sarsasaland and by extension the Mario Land series gets microscopic attention from Nintendo.
Heck- even Daisy herself is only relegated to sports and fighting spinoffs! Why hasn't she appeared in a mainline game, or Luigi's Mansion, or Paper Mario? It's all very unfortunate, and all relates back to Mario Land never getting the spotlight.
I agree 100%, there's so much wasted potential here it's not even funny. Even Pauline has gotten more character development than Daisy.
Also, what the hell happened to Mario's castle? Repossessed?
everyone talks about wanting luigi DLC for odyssey or even a sequel and i can’t help but feel either would be a great opportunity to reboot sarasaland
they added the flower from super mario land to super mario maker 2 and it gives you the same bouncing ball effect that’s the only time they’ve ever referenced it
Maybe it got conquered
@@NothingNothing-de1cs If I recall they also brought the Moai back in Super Mario Odyssey
Awesome to see branching out from Sonic!! Great vids so far 👀
Yo wassup
Cum
What the?!
vail is extremely based for watching such a niche youtuber
What the?!
I really hope that whenever we see a new 2D Mario game, they should take a look back at these two games for inspiration. If they could introduce new worlds, power-ups, and new characters, it could be amazing!
Would be a great way to divulge form the repetitiveness that the New Super Mario Bros games are. We need new great 2D mario.
That actually sounds amazing, and they could also make Mario save someone else instead of princess peach.
Sorry, but I'm more of hoping for something more like smb2
@@jorgem.9690 Or not save someone at all... a different story would be nice in a new Mario game
@@SirLiamTheGreat agreed
mario land 2 was a game i really warmed up to over time, the areas were really memorable and stuff like mario zone was strangely weird but not weird enough to feel out of place in a mario game
seriously that's what their called 3:30
I actually played this series since I was a little kid on my uncle's GameBoy and later my own Gameboy SP. I always thought they were some of the most memorable ones besides Tetris and MedaBots.
Mario Land was OK, but Mario Land 2 was absolutely phenomenal!!! I feel it took a Mario 3 kind of approach, with the cool overworld map, the boss fights, and the neat powerup suits you could get for Mario.
A fun game
Mario Land 2 was the first video game I ever played. It holds a very special place in my heart.
Apparently the Sand Kingdom from Odyssey started out as potentially Birabuto...?
That would've been such an awesome throwback and idk why they didn't go through with it.
I like Mario Land 1 more but 2 is an awesome game that also deserves recognition. These are the games that shaped the company's handheld history (Land 1 being a launch title and Land 2 being overwhelmingly popular in its time). If not for them, we wouldn't have the GBA giving us the best potential fourth 2D Sonic games as a whole trilogy (the Sonic Advance series), nor the apex of the Pokemon franchise in the DS era (heck, we likely wouldn't even have Pokemon, or at least it wouldn't be as big of a success if the Game Boy itself wasn't).
Even the competition it helped shape, with SEGA's Game Gear giving us titles like Tails Adventure.
The Mario Land series absolutely deserves the recognition, as the titles that shaped what the Game Boy could do, while also being the most innovative 2D Mario titles to date in part thanks to console limitations (a true example of "restriction breeds creativity").
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the music in super Mario land 2. It’s one of Totaka’s absolute best works, and the theming and variations are absolutely stunning.
Fun fact: Wario was not only inspired by Bluto from Popeye but also Stromboli from Disney’s Pinocchio as well
I think another reason these games are often overlooked is that for a long time people were kind of snobby about handheld games and didn't consider them "real" entries in their respective series for some reason.
I loved Super Mario Land. It was the only game my doctor's office had on their Game Boys so I played it every time. Never owned it myself but I have vivid memories of playing it there.
Your doctor has Game Boys!?
@@maroonkennedy6213 For real, all my doctors had were tattered 5-year-old copies of women's magazines and snot-crusted puzzles with a third of the pieces missing.
My dentist had Game Boys! That’s where I first played Mario Land 2
@@billieleavenworth364 That's dope
dockar moment
This series is forgotten? I never forgot. Honestly in Super Mario Maker 2 with how the interface looks when making courses, you see there is room for more than just the addition of Super Mario 3D World. They should have added Super Mario Land 2 as a style. That would have been perfect! Making levels in the Super Mario Land 2 style would have been incredible!
It really is a shame that this series along with the Wario Land series have been completely forgotten by Nintendo. They're just so different from their usual output and that's what makes them so special.
I played Mario Land 2 lately. It was awesome ! The final castle level was SO DAMN HARD, but after dying multiple times, learning, going further and further, dying to Wario, then dying into the level again several and repeat this until I defeated Wario. It was so satisfying ^^
Same, it was really hard when I first tried it.
@@RainLion10 Yeah, honestly, the difficulty spike was crazy. Looking back, it was kinda like playing Celeste. Dying again and again, slowly learning, and trying until I eventually pull it off.
No wonder Daisy is not treated like the main cast of Mario characters.
Well, considering she's one of the worst video game characters of all-time, there's not really anything wrong with that!
@@BigAlvideos101 this is the worst thing I have ever read. No way you are serious.
@@mirai4738 How is it the worst thing you've ever read? Also, I am 100% serious! So-called "Princess" 1-dimensional Daisy is one of the worst video game characters in existence! Why is it so hard for you to understand that?
@@BigAlvideos101 by worst thing i should probably say worst take, because how and why? She is already far from been the worst mario character and you are telling me that she is one of the worst video game characters EVER? Like no, unless she just kill you dad or something I refuse to believe you.
@@mirai4738 Well, you'd better believe it, as Princess One-Dimensional Daisy is one of the worst video game characters ever created!
Super Mario Land 2 is still one of the most creative plataformers ever.
Too bad Nintendo would rather reuse assets from New Super Mario Bros and 3D World.
Yeah
This series should at least be acknowledged with a remake.
Also they abandoned the best named enemy, the F Boy.
foly huck!
Maybe a Remaster with a Bigger Screen Size and No Slowdown would be enough
Mario Land became Wario Land, and Wario Land is the greatest gaming series of all time. There's not a bad game in that bunch anywhere.
Wario having his own solo game was unexpected!!!
Wario World was fantastic! The Zangief of Nintendo.. 💪
The third in the series if my favourite game of all time, true story. Part of the reason for my name and avatar.
Wario land 1/virtual boy plays so differently from the rest of them. 4 perfected the formula from 2/3 and 5 (the wii one) kept it mostly the same but in a good way.
@@bland9876 I felt the fourth one lost something. For me it was the fact getting treasure wasn't the main point but something you obtained while traversing a level.
This video is great would definitely love to see more Mario videos
Thanks! I definitely plan to make more.
I had a Game Boy before I got any consoles, so the two SML games were the first Mario games I owned. I love how almost every level in both games has its own visual theme with its own unique enemies. Most mainline Mario games, even the newer ones, have only 3 to 6 themes for all the levels in the game.
Considering that Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga had references to almost every Mario game to date, including some obscure ones, I'm disappointed that there really weren't references to the Super Mario Land games. I guess there are Goombas with scuba helmets, like in the SML2 whale level, but nothing else I could think of.
2 of my favorite games of my childhood. I played both recently on my other YT channel. Great job on the video! I had to add, I never realized Tatanga was the space boss.
Really loving your content and it's so nice to see your channel grow :D keep it up kiro 👍 you're almost at 10k!!
Thanks for making this video. The Land series is my favourite Mario series and it truly deserves more love.
These games were MY mario! One of my earliest memories is me and my grandad playing these, great video man!

Imagine if there was a game where Wario is the new Bowser and Daisy is the new Peach. That would've been cool if this was actual platformer
I'm happy that you eased into the mario content by making a mario and sonic video first... most people don't care enough to do that
You noticed that 😂
@@kirotalksyt stay interested if you did a video on Mario 3 vs world debate
@@NotRay1995 that's going to create WW3, mark my words
@@joaonitro5149 I would love that
This was quite an amazing retrospective.
Looking back, it's weird how Nintendo shoved Super Mario Land to the side when there was so much hype surrounding it back in the day, like that rap song you mentioned and even in a Pepsi promotion.
Sadly, nowadays, people are quick to dismiss Super Mario Land, even going as far as saying the only reason why the Game Boy WAS successful was because of Pokemon. -_- Nothing against Pokemon (the older gens anyway), but like you mentioned, if it wasn't for that and Tetris. The Game Boy would have flopped, and maybe mobile gaming wouldn't exist for probably another 10 years or so.
Despite having the DX hacks, and even New Super Mario Land on the SNES, I still hold onto to my hard copies of the original for the very reason you mentioned. If there's another game that is deserving of getting the Samus Returns treatment, it's definitely Super Mario Land.
Also, no way you just did my man, Luigi dirty at 16:23. Put some respect in his name. lol
Anybody who says that Pokemon was the reason for the success of the Game Boy is a fool. Pokemon came out in 1996. The Game Boy was released in 1989 and was already 7 years old at the time of Pokemon's release: it wouldn't have lasted that long if it hadn't been a success beforehand. If anything, Pokemon extended the Game Boy's lifespan.
So glad you made this Mario land 2 is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Mario game ever and its so underloved yet the most creative and wacky
These games were so much fun back then, the gameplay is really cool with the new powerups, world's, and enemies. They also had great soundtracks with Super Mario Land 2 really having the greatest soundtrack. I still have these games.
Great video. I enjoy how this just sounds like a conversation with someone who knows a lot about Super Mario Land, but isn't annoying about it lol
For a new channel I am extremely impressed with the quality of this video. I'll be binging the rest of your content as I go to bed. Keep up the good work!
Outstanding review and style! Real charm in narration; not manufactured! Of course, i LOVED these games and the video took me back to simpler times. Thanks for the journey! 😊
I think both Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land 2 The 6 Golden Coins should get the Links Awakening Remake treatment on thr Switch.
A friend recommended this channel and I'm glad he did. Great video!
Its really nice see you making new content in others franchises. You could now do a video about the depressing status of megaman franchise. Mega man went to capcom's mascot to a forgotten series
FINALLY!!! Someone finally did a good job covering where my introduction to any game system and Mario began with a brand new Gameboy Pocket, and Super Mario Land 1&2. THANK YOU!!!!!
This video was so amazing and Incredibly well made, Super Mario Land 1 & 2 need to be talked about more.
Bro, You easily become my favorite up in coming CZcamsr can’t wait to see you get big
I actually played Super Mario Land 2 very much when I was a kid.
Glad to hear from it again :)
Great video! I love Super Mario Land precisely because it's different. Kind of odd, you know?
I would like to see you talk about Luigi's Mansion next!
Nice to see u talk about Mario :D ur so cool keep making awesome videos!
I've been saying for YEARS for them to have a new 2D mario game like new SMB but have mario & luigi visit sarasaland. Tatanga could team up with bowser or something.
Very very good video and production value.
That was a smart transition, going from just Sonic videos to a Mario and Sonic video to a Mario video.
Rad episode dude so glad i found the channel
Great video good sir! Keep up the good work 😃👊🏼😎👍🏼
I never forgot these games. Their soundtracks are so good!
(Plus I read somewhere that Peach asked Mario to rescue Daisy.)
It was the Super Mario Land Manga. In the manga, it is revealed that Peach was the woman who helped Mario rescue Daisy.
Regardless that Wario has his own games like Wario Land and Wario Ware, I'm surprised that Wario hasn't been a boss in later Mario games since his debut in _Super Mario Land: 6 Golden Coins._ I wonder if there's a Mario game where Mario battle against Wario, who could be an antagonist or a side boss.
Yo just wanted to say you're knocking it out of the park with these vids! Keep up the good work man. 🙏
Honestly a great video, I super like this
The music in part one brings me back 30 years ago. Love it
Just found your channel and you put out good content. Got yourself a new subscriber.
You know, Wario Land was a great sequel to Six Golden Coins. It kept the powerup idea and had a thing where beating some levels altered previous ones. Wario Land 3 is my favourite game of all time. Wrote an essay on it awhile back about why it's the most unique metroidvania ever made. Did a reading of it on my channel just because. kiro talks, if you make a video on the Wario Land series, I give you permission to use the audio from said video where I read the essay and add in images or video clips you think would work with it. Could even say something like, "Take it away, wariodude" if you think my take on the game is better than anything you could say about it. Doubt you'll see this, but if you do please consider the suggestion.
Wario land is my favorite gameboy game
And my favorite "mario franchise" game
Wario Land 3 is indeed the best
Its the most unique of the wario land franchise
I love Super Mario Land. It has a special place in my heart. It was the first Mario game I ever played. I was a Sega kid until I got a Gameboy and I loved that game so much. Replayed it a couple of weeks ago and the enjoyment was stilll there.
A very well articulate review to say the least. Got me thinking about these games in a way i had not before. I agree though. It does need to be more accessible or else it will be forgotten.
The intro is so godly I love it so much omg
I would absolutely love to see a double pack remake of the two Super Mario Land games. I love the vehicle rides in the first game and all of the wacky zones and the hard as hell final castle of the sequel.
i played both these games on the 3ds and honestly theyre two of my favourite 2d marios
i think id even rank mario land 2 as my second favourite just behind smb3
the super ball flower in mario maker 2 was so nice to see since both these games go unrecognised and i absolutely love them
even just throwbacks like mentions or references to sarasaland or mario land (the place) would be awesome. imagine odyssey dlc or odyssey 2 where we get to explore mario land and marios castle or having a new super mario bros game have you go to sarasaland and getting to see new levels for their cool themes in the modern mario style
I really like how you went the extra mile and included behind the scenes media like the hip hop songs and the Mario vs Wario comic.
I assumed by the quality of your work you had at least 500k subs but then I saw your sub count and was like whaaaat that's not right lol.
This was a really fun video. Happy to see Super Mario Land 2 get some hype, it’s super underrated. 5th best 2D Mario game in my opinion (which sounds low, but competition is stiff). Great video!
How did I not notice until seeing this video where the ball-themed level in the Mario Zone was placed? I guess I always thought of it as his belly.
Chai Kingdom is one of Nintendo's best songs. Also SML2 for the Blurp sprite is the exact same as the SMW one.
Even as a Gen Zer I love Super Mario Land 2. I just played some of it yesterday on the new GameBOY Virtual Console and I gotta say, I love how uniquely weird it is. The references to fairy tales, pop culture, and even Nintendo's old "R&B" LEGO competitor from the 60's are so funny to me. I also love how it's the only Mario game that really has Mario setting a goal for himself rather than saving or doing quests for others; it's good variety from the usual princess-saving, and it shows he has a backbone for himself despite his selflessness. I even love the rabbit power-up! It's such a neat little thing, I'm considering getting that DX fan-remaster for my computer too.
yo!!! this channel has lots of potential. keep up the great work.
Man this video was really good, bravo 👏
I love how Nintendo listened to you , so they re-released Super Mario Land 2 for the Switch ( as a Nintendo Switch Online emulator game ).
OMG I got that CD Ambassadors of Funk, It is curious that someone finally mentions it since it is one of those many lost Nintendo musical pieces, Mario Land deserves more love and that it be given the respect it deserves, seriously it is incredible that toruzz has done a better colorization of these games, improve framerate, remove some bugs and be able to play with Luigi
Nintendo is losing respect and affection for their games. Good video I subscribe
Seeing the original Mario ideas implemented in Mario Land is awesome, i love the gun levels
Hey man i really like your videos and hope you make more
Super Mario Land 3 was such a great game. Had much fun with it. One of the first games I truely spend my time on trying to expand my castle. In part motivated by other kids at school who showed me their castle and I felt like I could do better :D
I can see you just started CZcams AND DAMN IS THIS VID GOOD!! I like the editing, humor and vid ofc!! Keep it up and here’s to new more subs like myself!!
To answer a possible reason as to why these games don't get more love, I think it's due to them being VERY weird if you try to explain their aspects in the current context of Mario:
- Daisy being Mario's love interest
- Wario's absence from the other mainline games aside from the side games and spin-offs (the sport, party, and kart games)
- The idea of Mario having a castle and/or private island when normally he just has a simple house
- Not much alien iconography usage afterwards
- Some of the very obvious real world parallels and concepts, plus a couple that MIGHT be copyright issues (mostly the Jason enemy type), although like you said Odyssey uses a lot of the same types of ideas
- There not really being any obvious ties between Tatanga and Wario aside from one old character encyclopedia that only HINTS that Tatanga partnered up with Wario as revenge against Mario. (Also is weirdly only noted as "Alien" in preview material)
Wow! This video was full of nostalgia. Tear in my eye
I LOVED Mario Land 3 (and ALL of the Wario Games), I just noticed the Game Boy plays through "Land" and main consoles play "World" series.
Cool video essay!
6 golden coins was the first game boy game I ever had. I still have the cartridge. I loved that game, especially the tree level, and the hippo level. Something about the bubble really got me.
Been a sub since the your 2nd video, still keeping that same great quality as always! Congrats on 7k subs!
This was actually my very first Mario game ever, and it was a really good first impression, and being baffled that Mario was with Daisy instead of Luigi. It was a really fun and remember beating it all in one go was a challenge me and my brother made up (he won)
SUPER MARIO LAND 2 SIX GOLDEN COINS WAS MY ENTIRE CHILDHOOD.
I got a gameboy back in february, and I've been stuck on the boss for months- its honestly the best Mario game, with wonderful music and beautiful graphics. CRIMINALLY underrated.
I love both these games. I own the original Mario Land for my Game Boy Colour, and I bought both Mario Land games on my 3DS. I've finished or at least gotten close to finishing both, & I loved playing both of them. With how different they are to the standard Mario formula, I'd love to see some of this magic return for a new Mario game, whether 2D or 3D!
I always loved the Land series. I especially love how bizarre they are in terms of things like bosses and enemies
Holy this unlocked a core memory for me thanks for the vid. I totally forgot this game existed but I still remember playing it on my pop's old Gameboy too. Never finished the game but distinctly remember X-3's end level chiptone being so creepy that I would shut off the game lmao
Thank you for making this.
Mario land and wario land are 2 of my favorite games and bring back some great memories with my grandpa. I still play both from time to time
i loved super mario compact disco!!!(especially go mario go & save me with your charm though odd princess daisy doesn't show up on the title.)
i loved the uniqueness of the super mario land series especially interesting like the characters(especially princess daisy,wario & captain syrup.:3),the starman having the can can theme,mario having a castle that outside mario party haven't seen since,wario(he also had the same designer of samus aran from metroid.) getting his start getting tatanga to kidnap daisy(be funny if daisy referenced it still being miffed at wario for it.) and distract mario to take over(which the commercials really showed with how crazy he looked.) with him deciding to make his own castle after getting defeated trying to steal a princess peach(only time she shows up in any way in land.lol) statue from captain syrup and sarasaland being based on different areas of the world.
i remember hearing originally in odyssey along with isle delfino sarasaland was going to appear with princess daisy searching for the moons(if not a multiplayer mode that should've been luigi's spot helping her instead of a broken minigame.) and nintendo really needs to start showing focus to these(instead of 3d all stars for mario's 35th it should've been a collection of the sports,rpg's & other spinoff's.)/their other non pokemon and zelda franchises as i'd love to see more from land like princess daisy being in a 3d game(think she should've been in the year of luigi as i love the 2's moments together/show how they met after mario saved her.:3),the style of level traveling & bringing back captain syrup.(would love to see her in the warioware games/the main villain of a new wario land game with waluigi & the warioware gang helping wario.)
Great video man!
The wicked imposter Wario, OK fr tho this a pretty good analysis video, such an amazing game
My mom actually bought me that Super Mario Land song from Ambassadors of Funk on CD back in the day.
I loved Super Mario Land 1 and 2 on Game Boy when I was a kid. Some lovely nostalgia right there.
I loved this series as a kid. All 3 games are so different from each other but equally enjoyable.
Mario land 2 was the first game I ever played back when I was 4 and it's what got me into gaming. I will always long this game
I still play Super Mario Land 2! Had it since I was a little kid and always feel great bringing out my classic transparent Gameboy.
Super Mario Land as a whole despite it’s differences and such is really neat. I continue loving the 2nd one the most after playing it since I was a toddler and whatnot but I’m hoping they both get more attention thanks to this with time.
I loved this series! I have a theory that the Mario Land series is an alternate universe version of Mario, which is why his love interest is Daisy and he's not fighting Bowser and not in the Mushroom Kingdom
Mario Land 2 was first video game I ever played and I loved it so much. Such an interesting balance of the main would being kind of a cake walk compared to other Mario games but with the final parts in the castle being a decent challenge. I had so many play through as a kid where I would beat everything and then instantly get rekt inside the castle or my gameboy would die right before I would fight Wario. It made actually beating the game that much more satisfying and although like you pointed out I don’t think it’s the very first piece of media Wario appeared in, i’m almost certain that it’s the very first Mario game he was in.
Also the soundtrack for Mario Land 2 is sooooo good with a different and even better invincibility than it’s predecessor and the main games, the funky star song everybody knows and loves and so much more. I was wondering why you didn’t get more into this and then I remembered how aggressively Nintendo has let everybody know the last couple years that they don’t want you to enjoy any of the music that came from their games or remember their older games in general.
No preservation, only buy new things - Nintendo
We need a new Wario Land game as well, its been 12 years since it’s latest release. Would be awesome to see a video on that series as well

I had super Mario land 2 back in the day on the original game boy (1994) I remember spending hours getting through all the secrets. Im pretty sure it had a save feature but it didn’t save if you couldn’t defeat Wario. From what I remember once all 6 coins are collected the castle door is open for the Wario level, but i kept losing on Wario. When you lose to Wario, he takes away the 6 golden coins, and doesn’t save, meaning you had to do the 6 other bosses again. I tried many times but gave up in the end without completing it. I also purchased the 3DS virtual console version when it was released but didn’t spend much time on it. I really want to complete it, so I may give it another go in the near future. Great video, nostalgia from seeing the levels again 👍🇬🇧
love your video style. You deserve way more subs than you have.
Another banger video
I haven't forgotten about these awesome games! They were a big part of my childhood. The good ol' Brick Game Boy...
To this day, the sunken sub level in Turtle Zone is my all-time favorite Mario level out of any game, main series, side series, you name it.
