Came out in Japan 30 years ago today, and shortly thereafter elsewhere.  Shame Mario Party 1 and 2 aren't being put up on the Switch for another couple of weeks, Wario was always my go-to in the games until 3 added Daisy. |

I have wondered re-watching those commercials (Mario Land 2, Wario Land, Wario Blast) if that was Martinet voicing Wario in them or someone else. |

Kind of doubt it, he wasn't really playing Mario until Mario Teaches Typing a couple of years later and he also didn't play Wario in the initial Mario Party games. |

I have great memories of being at Kmart with my mom around age 5 or 6, playing Super Mario Land 2 inside the grocery cart, being engulfed with groceries piling up around me. When it became too much, I'd lay on the bottom platform of the cart and continue until we hit the checkout.
My record for unusual places to beat games growing up: SML2 at Kmart in a grocery cart, and Metroid Fusion at an Applebees while waiting for food.

SML2 may well be my favourite Mario game of all time. I can't even guess the number of hours I sank into it.

Honestly I'd love an unexpected Land sequel where you get to play as both Mario and Wario. Going back to wackier settings for a 2D game would not only be cool, but the contrast in the play styles of the two characters would make fairly unique as far as Mario titles.
Heck I can even see the box art with "Super Mario Land 4" being spraypainted over by Wario to put his own name in.

Such an excellent game. SML 1 was fun, but it felt like a dimestore version of SMB whereas SMB 2 felt like a fully fleshed out Mario game. It's absolutely one of my favourite Game Boy games, I still loop back and re-play it about once a year
