Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins is a popular Player's Choice Game Boy video game, and the game featuring the first appearance of Wario. This game is the sequel to Super Mario Land. Like the first game, Shigeru Miyamoto did not have any involvement in this game.

Story

The story to this game is colorless and quite simple and easy to understand. Wario steals Mario's Castle. (This is the only game in which Mario owns a castle.) Mario is angry with Wario and sets out to get the castle back from him. Wario has hired many monsters to stop Mario. Among the bosses, Tatanga -- the main boss from the first game, Super Mario Land -- is one of them.

To win the game, Mario must move through levels and stages such as sunken ships, the moon and a mechanical giant Mario! After beating the bosses in the last level of the zone, Mario receives one of six golden coins. The coin flies to Wario's (Mario's) castle to fit in a archway. When Mario retrieves all six coins, the door to the castle unlocks.
Wario's Castle: This level is by far the hardest part of the game, and is much like the Bowser castles from other games what with unique monsters like giant piranha plant statues, Donut Lifts and Wario himself!
