- One of those games that I’ve played through a million times, and yet hadn’t added any of those playthroughs to the site
- Though, this was my first time through the GBA version. Compared to the SNES original, it is… fine. The biggest thing you lose is sound quality, which obviously there’s nothing you can do about. But it sucks since the sound was THE THING to love about the original
- Lots of places in lots of levels made harder just by the fact that you can’t see far enough ahead or below or whatever. It is very odd that they went as far as rearranging the overworld, adding new content etc, yet did not fix this.
- The quality of life features they added are decent. Being able to save anywhere, or call Funky from anywhere, is nice.
- I don’t remember what people thought of this port in its’ day, but I imagine Nintendo changed enough stuff that people chimped out (lol get it?). Today, I don’t think it’s that bad. The new collectibles are fun (even though I didn’t get 100% of them) and I don’t find the mini-games tedious and annoying.
- If you’ve never played the game before at all, I’d probably go with the SNES version. But, if you’re a veteran and want a little change of pace, there is some fun stuff to see in here.

From a commenter on this article: "More people should be tending their "digital gardens" just to have something to curate and share. Bring back the weird, the odd, the deep-dives into topics you never imagined having such detail, bring back the strange animated GIFS, the websites always "under construction", give me your weird, give me your odd, this should be everyone's place to be free."

Super Mario Land
(Completed on 8 Apr 2024)
- Once again, I felt like playing an action game after a long, sprawling RPG. This is the perfect little palate cleanser
- Prior to this play through, I actually hadn’t beaten this one before. I remember long car trips with the Game Boy, getting so, SO close as a kid but never doing it. Saving isn’t supported in any way, so you have to beat it in one sitting.
- By and large, I don’t think this game is very “good” as a Mario game, but it’s not imminently hatable and it doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s just a nice little way to kill 45 minutes.
- The change of pace when it comes to power ups, level design etc is refreshing. Kinda funny that most of that kind of thing was done because of technological limitations
