VB Mario Land,[1] also known as Mario Adventure,[2] is a canceled game of the Super Mario franchise that was originally going to be released for the Virtual Boy. A single-level playable demo was unveiled at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show 1995 in Las Vegas.[3]

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 pipes, Koopa Troopas, Goombas, Jumping Piranha Plants, and ? Blocks. 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 The Legend of Zelda. The first level ends at the flagpole, and Mario can be seen entering a castle.

A three-dimensional version of Mario Bros. was mentioned to be implemented into VB Mario Land as a minigame, but it was released separately as Mario Clash.[1]
