VB Mario Land

VB Mario Land is a canceled Mario game that was originally going to be released on the Virtual Boy.

VB Mario Land was to be a two-dimensional game that would also have three-dimensional elements in it and would star Mario as its main character. Though not much about VB Mario Land's story was revealed, it did have Mario battling Wario. The game would make use of all the Virtual Boy's capabilities, with Mario being able to enter the background of various levels. Additionally, dungeons were also prevalent in VB Mario Land. In such areas, an overhead view was displayed, much like the The Legend of Zelda series of games.

A three-dimensional version of Mario Bros. was mentioned as being implemented into VB Mario Land, though aside from its presence in the game, no more details about this Mario Bros. minigame were mentioned. It is possible that several elements of VB Mario Land were implemented in Mario Clash, most noticeably its Mario Bros. elements.
