Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins: Difference between revisions

'''''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''''' is a [[Genre#Platform|platforming]] game for the [[Game Boy]] released in 1992 and later for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in 2011 and the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s [[Game Boy - Nintendo Switch Online]] service as one of its launch titles in 2023. It is the direct sequel to ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' and also marks the debut of Mario's self-proclaimed arch rival [[Wario]], who would later become a recurring character in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' series as well as a protagonist in his [[Wario (franchise)|own series]]. Like its predecessor, it received a [[Player's Choice]] and was produced by the late [[Gunpei Yokoi]] rather than the ''Mario'' series creator [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], who was not involved in the development of this game. It is notable for having been the last original side-scrolling ''Mario'' game until 2006's ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', 13½ years later (discounting [[reissue]]s). Like ''Super Mario Land'', this game was originally excluded from the main ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series by Nintendo{{ref needed}}, but was included alongside the more traditional games for the 30th anniversary of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'',<ref>{{media link|Super Mario Bros 30th Anniversary - JP Artwork.jpg|Official Japanese artwork for the 30th Anniversary of ''Super Mario Bros.'' illustrating the games part of the ''Super Mario'' series.}}</ref> and the history page from the Mario Portal and "The official home for Mario" websites.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/ ''Super Mario'' game collection, Mario Portal website (Japanese)]</ref><ref>[https://mario.nintendo.com/history/ The official home for Mario - ''Super Mario'' games]</ref>
