Replay – Super Mario Land
In 1989, before the release of Super Mario Bros. 3, another Mario platformer released on the Game Boy, and it was one of the weirdest entries in the series.
At the time, with only Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2 in place as a point of reference, it didn't seem so weird. Exploring pyramids, fighting rampaging Easter Island head statues, and playing a few periodic side-scrolling shooter levels didn't seem so weird for a Mario game. Revisiting it today, however, shows off some real odd choices on Nintendo's part, but it's still a lot of fun. For part two, we play a very strange imported game, specially ordered to feature on Replay, and we see the return of a familiar face.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
