Super Mario Land was an exceptional game for the time period it came out in back in 1989.  It was one of the first Gameboy games ever made along with Baseball and Tennis.  Portable gaming has come a long way since this game debuted.  It is a fun little side scroller keeping the spirit of the Mario NES games.  Yes the game has some single shooter airplane and submarine stages but I thought they were refreshing and made the game fun.  I see a lot of people griping and complaining that there is no save feature or password.  Come on this game is a breeze and should not take you more than 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
