North American box art for Super Mario Land

Super Mario Land is a 2D action-adventure platform game for the Game Boy, first released as a launch title in 1989. It is the first Super Mario game released for a handheld console and the fifth entry in the series. In Japan, it is recognized as the fourth. Unlike previous installments, the game was not developed by Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo EAD, but by Nintendo R&D1, with Gunpei Yokoi as guiding producer. Super Mario Land takes place in Sarasaland rather than the Mushroom Kingdom, and introduces Princess Daisy, a new character serving as the damsel-in-distress in place of Princess Peach. Tatanga, a malevolent alien with powers of hypnosis, serves as both the main antagonist and final boss.
