This addition alone was enough to propel Super Mario Land 2 ahead of its predecessor, but Nintendo didn’t stop there. No marathon play sessions required to beat the game (if your battery still works, which mine doesn’t). 6 Golden Coins makes use of the Game Boy cartridge’s battery backup feature, allowing you to have three different save files. Right off the bat, you can notice some of the improvements over the first Super Mario Land. I’m talking about one of Mario’s best portable outings Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. One game that I purposely left off of the list above was one that also exceeded my own recollection of said game’s quality. Games myself and many others still love and cherish to this day. These aren’t just great games we’re talking about, they’re are all-time classics. Off the top of my head, I can name off games like Pokemon Blue & Red, Link’s Awakening, and Donkey Kong ’94. The original Game Boy, in spite of its technical limitations, really had some fantastic games.
