'''''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''''' is a [[Genre#Platform|platforming]] game for the [[Game Boy]] released in 1992 and later for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in 2011 and the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s [[Game Boy - Nintendo Switch Online]] service as one of its launch titles in 2023. The Virtual Console release requires 44 blocks (5.6 MB) of memory to be installed.

==Story==
'''Story from the instruction booklet'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' instruction booklet|page=3-4|date=1992|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref>
<blockquote>
<b>DANGER! DANGER!</b><br>While I was away crusading against the mystery alien [[Tatanga]] in [[Sarasaland|Sarasa Land]], an [[Wario|evil creep]] took over [[Mario's castle|my castle]] and put the people of [[Mario Land (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|Mario Land]] under his control with a magic spell. The intruder goes by the name of Wario. He has been jealous of my popularity ever since we were boys, and has tried to steal my castle many times. It seems he has succeeded this time. Wario has scattered the 6 Golden Coins from my castle all over Mario Land. These Golden Coins are guarded by those under Wario's spell. Without these coins, we can't get into the castle to deal with Wario.
We must collect the 6 coins, attack Wario in the castle, and save everybody!<br><b><i>IT'S TIME TO SET OUT ON OUR MISSION!!</i></b><br>★The 6 Golden Coins are the coins needed to open the gate of Mario's castle.
</blockquote>
After rescuing [[Princess Daisy]] from [[Tatanga]] in [[Sarasaland]], Mario returns to his own private island, appropriately named [[Mario Land (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|Mario Land]]. Upon returning, however, he finds that an old rival of his named Wario had succeeded in taking over [[Mario's castle|his castle]] and cast an evil spell to brainwash the island's inhabitants into serving him against Mario. The [[Golden Coin|6 Golden Coins]] (the keys to Mario's castle) were spread throughout the island, and Mario must retrieve these [[coin]]s so that he can confront Wario in order to reclaim his castle and restore order to Mario Land.

The game begins with a simple "tutorial" level, [[Mushroom Zone]], to help the player learn the controls of the game. This level can not be replayed. After this is completed, the player must travel through six different "zones" containing a series of levels to collect the coins:
[[File:Fire Wario.png|left|thumb|[[Mario]] fighting [[Fire Mario#Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins|Fiery Wario]].]]
*The [[Tree Zone]]: A large tree infested with giant insects, this zone is guarded by the [[Big Bird]].
*The [[Turtle Zone]]: Inside of a giant tortoise, this zone is an aquatic environment and is guarded by an [[octopus (boss)|octopus]] located inside of a [[whale]].
*The [[Macro Zone]]: A house-like zone that shrinks those who enter it, this zone is guarded by the [[sewer rat]].
*The [[Pumpkin Zone]]: Located inside a giant {{wp|jack-o'-lantern}} containing graveyards and haunted houses, this zone is guarded by the [[Witch (boss)|Witch]].
*The [[Mario Zone]]: A mechanical version of Mario, this zone is guarded by the [[Three Little Pigheads|Three Little Pigs]].
*The [[Space Zone]]: Encompassing the [[moon]] and stars, this zone is guarded by the alien Tatanga, the final boss of the original ''Super Mario Land''.
*In addition to the tutorial level, there is also [[Scenic Course|another level that is not part of any specific "zone" or area]], and lies off the path between the Tree Zone and the Macro Zone. Playing this level does not unlock anything, though does count as one of the exits in the game. Unlike the tutorial level, this level can be replayed.
After gathering the 6 Golden Coins, Mario can venture into a dangerous, transformed version of his old castle. Upon reaching the throne room, Mario finally confronts Wario and they duke it out. Though Wario was bigger and stronger, Mario was able to best him with his wits and superior jumping skills. Wario then begins using the same powerups as Mario used during his journey, such as a [[Carrot]] to give him hovering abilities and a [[Fire Flower]] to give him the power to throw fireballs. Despite these power-ups, however, Mario was still able to defeat him in battle. As a result, Wario [[Small Wario|shrinks]] and begins crying in defeat, but then throws one of his shoes at Mario before making his escape from the castle, with Mario following suit. With Wario gone, the castle returns to normal and peace is restored to Mario Land.

==Gameplay==
===Overview===
[[File:Super Mario Land 2 Tutorial Level.png|thumb|Gameplay screenshot of the tutorial level.]]
Unlike the gameplay of its predecessor, ''Super Mario Land 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s gameplay more closely resembles that of past ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise titles. Most notably, this game replaces the [[Superball Mario]] with a more traditional [[Fire Mario]] and does away with the vehicle levels of ''Super Mario Land''. The screen can now scroll to the left, allowing Mario to backtrack through levels, and character sprites have significantly increased in size, enabling more focused and fast-paced action as well as a better overall visual quality to the game. The game is one of the first ''Super Mario'' games to have two different difficulty levels: Normal and Easy mode. The level can be chosen by picking Mario's size with the {{button|gb|select}} button before picking which file to save to.

Like in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', the game's locations can be traversed via an overworld map. This gives rise to a few secrets, including "shortcuts," which allow Mario to traverse the map more quickly, and a [[casino]] where Mario can gamble his coins to earn more lives. The worlds do not have to be played linearly without requiring a hidden item or exit, although all of them have to be completed eventually. The player can return to the world map from a completed level by pressing {{button|gb|start}} to pause and then {{button|gb|select}}.

===Rewards and setbacks===
Getting hit by an enemy or hazard while Mario is in his Small state, falling to the bottom of the screen or in lava, getting crushed behind the screen in an auto-scrolling level, or running out of time, makes Mario lose a life and get booted out of the level and back to the map. If Mario loses all of his lives, he will also lose all of the six coins he has collected and will have to fight their guardians once again, but he does not have to replay the other levels in their worlds to get there. [[Extra life|Extra lives]] are represented as [[1 UP Heart|hearts]] as opposed to [[1-Up Mushroom|green mushrooms]] in this game, due to the grayscale graphics.

Each level has a [[checkpoint]], which is a [[Bell (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|bell]] hanging from a block. If Mario rings the bell, he starts the level from this location should he lose a life.

The exits of regular levels are marked "GOAL" and consist of a door in the wall and a bell hanging from a post above it. If Mario enters the door, the level immediately ends, and he returns to the map and progresses to the next stage marker, but if he hits the bell first, he gets to play a bonus game which can reward him with power-ups or more lives.

Collecting 100 coins does not immediately reward Mario with an extra life like it does in other titles, but it does allow the player to enter the [[casino]] in the hill between Mario's castle and the tutorial level for a chance to earn lives. Mario can hold up to 999 coins.

There is no "score" in the traditional sense that Mario gets in this game for defeating enemies or completing the level with extra time, but he does have an enemy counter for each enemy he defeats, and defeating 100 enemies will cause a Star to fall down to Mario.

===Controls===
In levels, the {{button|gb|A}} allows Mario to jump, while holding the {{button|gb|B}} will make Mario run faster. Holding up on the {{button|gb|Pad}} will make Mario jump a little higher. The {{button|gb|Pad}} controls where Mario walks or runs. The player can pause in a level with the {{button|gb|start}} button. Jumping on most enemies will defeat them, as will attacking them with fireballs, a [[Super Star|Star]], or hitting them with a [[Koopa Shell]]. A Koopa Shell can be picked up by running into it while holding {{button|gb|B}} and thrown by letting go, or it can be kicked by walking into it or jumping on top of it.

''Super Mario Land 2'' continues a tradition established by past games and includes a plethora of level designs. For example, there are water levels through which Mario swims by tapping {{button|gb|A}} (Mario can also swim through sap, and movements such as walking and falling are slowed down) and space levels with altered gravity (jump height is increased, as is fall time).

Mario can use [[Warp Pipe]]s in the same manner as in other games: by holding down on the {{button|gb|Pad}} while standing on top of one, up while jumping up into one above, or left or right for pipes that are horizontal.

The boss, a large crow called the [[Big Bird]], nests at the top of the tree. The secret course is on the opposite side of the trunk and is dotted with [[Mushroom Platform]]s.

|style="background:white"|[[File:Small Mario SML2.png]]<br>[[Small Mario]]
|align=left|Mario is in this small-sized form when the player starts a new game. Small Mario is incapable of breaking bricks and cannot perform the [[Spin Jump]]. He loses a life when he makes contact with an enemy or obstacle.

|style="background:white"|[[File:SML2-SuperMushroom.png]]<br>[[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]]
|style="background:white"|[[File:Super Mario Land 2 Mario.png]]<br>[[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]
|align=left|A Mushroom powers Mario into Super Mario. This allows him to take one hit without losing a life, reverting him to his small form instead. While Super Mario, he may also break [[Brick Block|brick]]s either by jumping underneath them or by performing [[Spin Jump]]s by pressing down {{button|gb|pad}} in midair to break them on top, a technique similar to the one from ''Super Mario World''. Certain enemies, such as [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]s, which normally require more than one hit to defeat, can be defeated in this manner.
|-
|style="background:white"|[[File:SML2FireFlower.png]]<br>[[Fire Flower]]
|style="background:white"|[[File:Fire Mario SML2 Sprite.png]]<br>[[Fire Mario]]
|align=left|As Fire Mario, Mario can throw [[fireball]]s with {{button|gb|b}}. These fireballs bounce along the ground and defeat enemies. In this game, they may also be used to break [[fiery block]]s. Interestingly, this transformation is distinguished with a feather in Mario's cap rather than a different color, most likely due to the Game Boy's limitations.
|-
|style="background:white"|[[File:Carrot.png]]<br>[[Carrot]]
|style="background:white"|[[File:Bunny Mario SML2.png]]<br>[[Bunny Mario]]
|align=left|A new item exclusive to this game, the carrot transforms Mario into Bunny Mario. In this form, he is able to hover briefly by tapping {{button|gb|a}} while flapping his bunny ears. This allows him to stay in the air longer, helpful for crossing or maneuvering around obstacles, enemies, and other hazards with ease.
|-
|style="background:white"|[[File:SML2-SuperStar.png]]<br>[[Super Star|Star]]
|style="background:white"|[[File:SML2 Sprite Invincible Mario.gif]]<br>[[Invincible Mario]]
|align=left|Collecting a [[Super Star|Star]] turns Mario invincible for a short time, preventing him from being damaged by enemies and other hazards. Rather than moving around, in this game, the Star remains stationary when struck out of the [[? Block]] it is contained in. Notably, after five enemies are defeated while invincible, an extra life is earned, with an additional one for every enemy defeated by invincibility afterward. Defeating one hundred enemies grants another Star.

The music for this game was composed by [[Kazumi Totaka]]. If the player waits on the [[Game Over]] screen for two minutes and thirty seconds, Totaka's Song will play.

==Development==
Development for ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' began in November 1991, and took ten months to complete. In a 1992 interview, the game's director and designer [[Hiroji Kiyotake]] discussed that the team originally wanted to divert from the conventional ideas established by the past ''Super Mario'' games.<ref name="Shogakukan guide">{{cite|title=''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' official Shogakukan game guide|page=106-111|url=shmuplations.com/supermarioland2|publisher=Shmuplations|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref> Pursuing this concept, the initial work on the game lead to the first draft being turned down, due to disagreements on whether the product properly represented Mario's character and the in-game world he is renowned for. Realizing that they were on the wrong path, the team reworked it to "something a little closer to the existing Mario world". However, the team still desired to provide Mario with a new objective, rather than fighting to rescue [[Princess Peach|the princess]] as seen in most ''Super Mario'' games leading up to that time. The game's staff wanted a "change of pace", and decided that Mario should fight to win back something that belongs to him, rather than fighting for "someone else's benefit".

[[File:SML2 Photograph - Interviewed Developers.jpg|thumb|left|Various members of [[List of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins staff|development staff]], who were a part of the interview published in the game's official Shogakukan guide. Clockwise from the top-left: [[Takahiro Harada]], [[Kazumi Totaka]], [[Takehiko Hosokawa]] and [[Hiroji Kiyotake]], with their respective ages at the time.]]
[[File:SML2 Artwork - Wario Alt 3.png|thumb|Wario, as depicted being sketched by a gloved hand. The glove shows a "K", which presumably signifies [[Hiroji Kiyotake]].]]
It was Kiyotake's idea to introduce [[Wario]] as a new character, with whom he discussed it with the assistant character designer [[Takehiko Hosokawa]], before presenting the idea to the rest of the game's staff. Before Wario's actual character development, his name was the first thing that was decided on. It was derived from the Japanese word "warui", meaning "bad". The idea to have an upside-down "M" on his cap (representing a "W") received immediate, enthusiastic support by the rest of the development staff.<ref name="Shogakukan guide"/> Wario's character was based on the idea that a protagonist should have an arch-rival and nemesis. Kiyotake compared Mario and Wario to comic book characters {{wp|Popeye}} and {{wp|Bluto}}'s relationship, where Bluto is larger, stronger, and more cunning than his counterpart, and normally motivated by self-interests. After the idea of Wario was agreed on by the rest of the staff, Kiyotake discussed the details of in-game sprite animation and movement with programmer [[Takahiro Harada]]. As well as Wario, there were many other characters which was proposed by Kiyotake. Many of these were either direct rejects, or characters that did not gain approval from the wider staff team.

Kiyotake was very fond of the untouchable [[Bee Fly]] enemies used in [[Tree Zone|Tree]] and [[Macro Zone]]s, even causing him to "burst out laughing" after he first interacted with them after they were programmed. He was eager to see the Bee Fly remain in the final game, as he was amused by how it would likely annoy players. While developing the controls for the game, Harada considered that players may find it difficult to hold down two buttons on the [[Game Boy]]'s D-pad to move in a diagonal direction. This was kept in mind while programming how Mario's [[Bunny Mario|Bunny]] and [[Space Mario|Spacesuit]] performed high jumps.

[[Kazumi Totaka]], who composed the music for ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'', acknowledged that the sound effect played when transforming into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] was originally identical to the one used for ''[[Super Mario World]]'' until about midway through development.<ref name="Shogakukan guide"/> However, he was afraid that the player would be given an impression that they are playing a game that overlaps with ''Super Mario World'', and become "negatively conscious" that they were playing on a small Game Boy screen compared to the television screen used by the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. Therefore, Totaka chose to use many different sound effects across other past ''Super Mario'' games. Asides from composing, Totaka also had a partial role in some of the discussions between Kiyotake, Harada, and Hosokawa. Totaka was able to provide comments and feedback while proposed ideas were being evaluated. He was also able to come up with suggestions of his own, although these were mostly rejected.<ref name="Shogakukan guide"/>

According to Takahiro Harada, the most challenging stage of development was adjusting and fine-tuning the test version after it was presented to playtesters. As he and the team had been playing and testing the gameplay since the beginning, they initially believed that the test version was too easy. However, Harada stated that the testers generally found the game very difficult. About 2-3 months was spent on making small changes to the stages, according to the feedback which they received from the playtesters.<ref name="Shogakukan guide"/>

==Pre-release and unused content==
A pre-release screenshot, as well as a video, showed a different, less detailed title screen in at least one build, featuring a sign more similar to the one from ''Super Mario Land''.<ref>[http://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/OtherGames/OtherGames-Z-SMALLCRAP.htm Source]</ref>{{dead link}}

Early variations of certain graphics exist and may be found within the data of the game. Mario’s front poses in his different forms appear slightly different and thinner, with darker fireballs. Shadows were added to the [[font]]s, while a time font used to indicate time remaining was removed. Pipes were made thicker, likely so that Mario could pass through completely. The goal had no bell and the goal sign was raised all the way up, likely indicating that the goal sign would lower down once Mario completed the level. On the other hand, platforms became thinner, with a cracked variety of platform remaining unused.

Some sprites were completely unused, such as swimming animations and forward-facing poses for Mario as Small Mario and Super Mario in the Space Zone. A trampoline highly reminiscent of one from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' may also be found.

Additionally, there were multiple changes to the overworld map that did not make the final cut. There is a cloud positioned above the Pumpkin Zone. Despite being fully functional, its code was disabled in the final game. Tiles for the top of Mario's castle are present as well, though are obscured by the darkened cloud in front of the castle. For reasons unknown, some water tiles next to Macro Zone's right chimney were switched around. A piece of the fence surrounding [[Scenic Course]] is missing.

==Glitches==
{{main|List of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins glitches}}
===Out-of-bounds glitch===
In area 4 of [[Tree Zone]], the player can lure a [[Skeleton Bee]] to the far left part of the stage, then lure it to a greater height, then hold up and jump to do a high jump and bounce off of the Skeleton Bee to reach a normally inaccessible area. The player should then wait for the Skeleton Bee to follow Mario, then go as high as they can to bounce off of the Skeleton Bee again. Mario will go into the wall and slide to the right until he falls out of it, then he will enter an out-of-bounds area that contains glitched tiles (which can crash the game, reset it, or even unlock a stage).

===Pipe entry glitch===
This glitch only works for ROM versions v1.0 and v1.1. In any level with a pipe in it, if the player presses {{button|long|Start}} and {{button|long|Select}} at the same time they leave a stage or enter a pipe and return to that level, they can then move through the floor. If there is nothing underneath the stage, the player can see a number of glitchy tiles. These tiles are actually the entire game's code and Game Boy's code being displayed as graphics.

==Educational film==
[[File:MKMWarioBattle.png|thumb|Mario battling Wario, from the Japanese video based on the game.]]
{{main|Mario Kirby Meisaku Video}}
An educational Japanese-only video, called ''[[Mario Kirby Meisaku Video]]'', was produced in 1995 based on the game. It featured a segment based off ''Super Mario Land 2'', and another one featuring [[Kirby]] and other characters from his series. The video follows an alternative version of the game's plot, where Wario steals treasures from a school, and after being informed by [[Princess Peach]], Mario embarks on a mission to defeat Wario. The intent of the videos was to teach Japanese children {{wp|kanji}}.

When playing ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' on a [[Game Boy Color]], the game will display colors using a unique hardware-coded color palette.

==Reception==
In ''{{wp|GamePro}}''{{'}}s review of the game, they give the game's fun factor a 5.0/5.0 and praise the game's graphics and control.<ref>{{cite|date=February 1993|title=''GamePro'' issue 43|page=152-153}}</ref> The publication praises the sound to a lesser extent, giving it only a 4.0/5.0 and calls the music "cute".

|"''Super Mario Land 2 is the most fun found on the Game Boy in a long time. The game play is not effected by the little screen, and some stages are more challenging than their 8-bit counterparts. Super Mario Land 2 is the kind of game that you'll play again and again. With so many hidden stages and so much awesome action, your battery bill will run as high as the plumber's bill. With everything and the kitchen sink included, this cart makes other Game Boy titles seem like sink sludge.''"

|align="left"|"''The original [[Super Mario Land]] was a solid start for the series on Nintendo's Game Boy system, but nothing could prepare gamers for what the developers were able to do with this sequel. They managed to improve every aspect of the game and even made the adventure a much longer and more rewarding experience this time around. The difficulty is perhaps a bit on the easy side, but it's still one of the best Game Boy titles ever released and a testament to just how capable a game system the Game Boy truly was, and still is for that matter. If you're a Super Mario fan with a 3DS, you absolutely must take the opportunity to own this game; if you're not, this legendary release is good enough to make you one.''"

==Legacy==
After the introduction of Wario (who quickly became popular) the ''Super Mario Land'' series shifted its attention to him. The next game, ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', featured Wario as the protagonist, with Mario only making a minor cameo at the very end of the game. The next game in the series was simply titled ''[[Wario Land II]]'', thus making ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' the final entry in the ''Super Mario Land'' series.

Although this game marks the first appearance of Wario, dialogue in the instruction booklet suggests that Wario is an old enemy of Mario who has been jealous of his fame and fortune. In the comic book inspired by this game, ''[[Mario vs. Wario]]'', Wario is portrayed slightly more sympathetically and is shown to have been one of Mario's friends when they were both children. However, because of the numerous indignities Mario (unknowingly) forced Wario to suffer, Wario has now sworn revenge on him (which causes the events of both ''Super Mario Land'' and ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'').

==References to other games==

*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': The music for [[Water Land]] can be heard in the background of the music for the [[Mario Zone]] and stage 3 of Tree Zone.
*''[[Super Mario Land]]'': It is revealed that Wario stole Mario's castle during Mario's rescue of Princess Daisy. Tatanga is seen working for him in the [[Space Zone]], implying a connection between the two. Part of the [[Ghost House]] music is an arrangement of the coin room music from this game.
*''[[Super Mario World]]'': [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]'s sprite in this game is the basis of his ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' sprite. Blurps return from this game, alongside enemies inspired by [[Monty Mole]]s and [[Fish Bone|Fishbone]]s, while [[Cheep Cheep|Cheep-Cheep]]s use a design inspired from their appearance in this game. Also, the [[Spin Jump|spin jump]] returns. While not directly observed in-game, the overall design of Mario Land's map strongly resembles the design for the map of [[Dinosaur Land]] from this game, as can be seen from official maps. [[Super Mushroom|Mushrooms]] and [[Fire Flower]]s also use their designs from this game.

==References in later games==
*''[[Mario's Tennis]]'': Mario's sprite in the character selection looks almost exactly like his sprite from this game, only in a tennis outfit. Luigi's sprite in the character selection also looks noticeably similar.
*''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'': One of Mario's alternate costumes is based on Wario's outfit.
*''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'': One of Wario's costumes is based on his in-game sprite.
*''[[Wario World]]'': The castle shown on the title graphic bears a striking resemblance to Mario's castle.
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'': The battle start sound is the same as the power up emerging from a ? Block sound in this game. The jumping sound effect is also the same between both games.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'': One of Wario's alternate costumes is based on his in-game sprite.
*''[[Fortune Street]]'': Wario has [[Starship Mario#Trivia|a quote]] where he says that if he flips the "M" of [[Starship Mario]] upside-down, it would be his.
*''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'': The Space Zone level theme is remixed when the [[Boom Box (Thing)|Boom Box]] [[Sticker#Things|Thing]] is used.
*''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'': The music in this game's credits plays the level entry jingle right before it transitions to [[9-Volt]]'s portion of the credits.
