| The game was to be a two-dimensional side-scrolling game that would also use three-dimensional perspectives, such as moving between the background and foreground of the level. It would star [[Mario]] as the main character, using classic ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''-style elements such as [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Goomba]]s, [[Jumping Piranha Plant]]s, and [[? Block]]s. Although the story was not revealed, a large [[Wario]]-like figure that functioned similarly to a [[Thwomp]] was seen in the playable demo. In certain areas, an overhead view was displayed, much like in the game series [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'']]. The first level ends at the [[Goal Pole|flagpole]], and Mario can be seen entering a [[castle]].

| A three-dimensional version of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' was mentioned to be implemented into ''VB Mario Land'' as a minigame, but it was released separately as ''[[Mario Clash]]''.<ref name=UKNM/>
| | ''VB Mario Land'' would make use of all the Virtual Boy's capabilities, with [[Mario]] being able to enter the background of various levels. Additionally, dungeons similar to the ones seen in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series of games were also prevalent in ''VB Mario Land''. |
