Super Mario Land

Everyone's favourite minuscule, Italian person makes his Game Boy debut. And how!

Virtually a scaled-down replica of the arcade and big brother Nintendo console classic, you play the part of Mario (who else?) in this multi-level quest for his girly, stolen by a vicious kidnapper. Hectic action (including loads of hidden bonus screens dotted throughout the four big worlds), combined with remarkable graphics (considering their size) and rousing tunes and effects ensure yet another thumbs up for the Game Boy.

Game Boy

A small yet perfectly formed Mario whizzes past equally impressive sprites and backdrops. An arcade machine in your pocket.
