In every other Mario game, getting 100 coins meant receiving a 1-UP. Coins also play a different role in this game. Bunny ears are now present, giving Mario the ability to glide for a few seconds. Something that stands out from its gameplay is the pickups that Mario utilizes in the game. Mario Land 2 is not a hard title by any means, it is however challenging at times. This however, leads to some inconsistencies with level difficulty as there is not linearity to keep you on a path from easiest to harder stages. You could essentially play all of the stages first and leave the boss stages to tackle altogether at the end, before heading to the final area. This means you can choose what to do at your own pace. The map is completely open, with the exception of the last boss area. Another characteristic that sets this Mario title apart is the ability to choose which stage you want to play first. For those of you who have not played it, you will be very pleased to know that the final boss is a very memorable character that Nintendo fans have come to love (or hate, depending on your tastes). The bosses must be defeated in order to get into the castle and face the final boss. Each section acts as a world with its own bosses (a total of 7). The map consists of a sizeable world divided into different sections. It boggles my mind on why such an overworld has not been incorporated into recent Mario titles as it is rivaled only by the likes of Super Mario World. The second thing you will notice is Mario Land 2’s over world. From the file-selection screen all the way to the moon, each stage is filled with contagious melodies. Every stage has a special tune to get you into the mood and atmosphere of each landscape. The music is so catchy it will stick with you for days after playing the game. From the very first minute you start Mario Land 2 you will notice the superb soundtrack that will flood your ears with memorable chip tunes. First thing that should be noted is the music. Following in the footsteps of Mario Land, ML2 is filled with wackiness from beginning to end. While the title holds many similar facets to the old Mario titles, this one does have a couple of things that set it apart from the others. It holds all of the traits that compose a classic Mario title jumping, cool power-ups and Mario himself. Mario Land 2 may seem like a standard Mario platformer on a handheld. Players can now get their hands on one of the most unique Mario titles to date.
Mario Land 2(ML2) came out for the Gameboy in 1992 and was re-released for the 3DS Virtual Console in 2011. Its stellar soundtrack, originality and variety in environments more than make up for some of the platforming “floatiness” that is present in Mario's movement."
