'''''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>

Unlike the gameplay of its predecessor, ''Super Mario Land 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s gameplay more closely resembles that of past ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise titles. Most notably, this game replaces the [[Superball Mario]] with a more traditional [[Fire Mario]] and does away with ''Super Mario Land''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s vehicle levels. The screen can now scroll to the left, allowing Mario to backtrack through levels, and character sprites have significantly increased in size, enabling more focused and fast-paced action as well as a better overall visual quality to the game. The game is one of the first ''Mario'' games to have two different difficulty levels: Normal and Easy mode. The level can be chosen by picking Mario's size with the {{button|gb|select}} button before picking which file to save to.

Like in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', the game's locations can be traversed via an overworld map. This gives rise to a few secrets, including "shortcuts," which allow Mario to traverse the map more quickly, and a [[casino]] where Mario can gamble his coins to earn more lives. Unlike those of ''Super Mario World'' and the earlier ''Super Mario Bros.'' games, <i>Super Mario Land 2</i>'s worlds do not have to be played linearly without requiring a hidden item or exit, although all worlds must still be cleared. The player can return to the world map from a completed level by pressing {{button|gb|start}} to pause and then {{button|gb|select}}.

==Development==
==Development==
Development for ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' began in November 1991, and took ten months to complete. In a 1992 interview, the game's director and designer [[Hiroji Kiyotake]] discussed that the team originally wanted to divert from the conventional ideas established by the past ''Mario'' games.<ref name="Shogakukan guide">''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' official Shogakukan game guide, staff interview on pages 106-111 ([https://shmuplations.com/supermarioland2/ translation] provided by "Shmuplations", accessed September 10, 2016)</ref> Pursuing this concept, the initial work on the game lead to the first draft being turned down, due to disagreements on whether the product properly represented Mario's character and the in-game world he is reknowned for. Realizing that they were on the wrong path, the team reworked it to "something a little closer to the existing Mario world". However, the team still desired to provide Mario with a new objective, rather than fighting to rescue [[Princess Peach|the princess]] as seen in most ''Mario'' games leading up to that time. The game's staff wanted a "change of pace", and decided that Mario should fight to win back something that belongs to him, rather than fighting for "someone else's benefit".

It was Kiyotake's idea to introduce [[Wario]] as a new character, with whom he discussed it with the assistant character designer [[Takehiko Hosokawa]], before presenting the idea to the rest of the game's staff. Before Wario's actual character development, his name was the first thing that was decided on. It was derived from the Japanese word "warui", meaning "bad". The idea to have an upside-down "M" on his cap (representing a "W") received immediate, enthusiastic support by the rest of the development staff.<ref name="Shogakukan guide"/> Wario's character was based on the idea that a protagonist should have an arch-rival and nemesis. Kiyotake compared Mario and Wario to comic book characters {{wp|Popeye}} and {{wp|Bluto}}'s relationship, where Bluto is larger, stronger, and more cunning than his counterpart, and normally motivated by self-interests. After the idea of Wario was agreed on by the rest of the staff, Kiyotake discussed the details of in-game sprite animation and movement with programmer [[Takahiro Harada]]. As well as Wario, there were many other characters which was proposed by Kiyotake. Many of these were either direct rejects, or characters that did not gain approval from the wider staff team.

Kiyotake was very fond of the untouchable [[Bee Fly]] enemies used in [[Tree Zone|Tree]] and [[Macro Zone]]s, even causing him to "burst out laughing" after he first interacted with them after they were programmed. He was eager to see the Bē remain in the final game, as he was amused by how it would likely annoy players. While developing the controls for the game, Harada considered that players may find it difficult to hold down two buttons on the [[Game Boy]]'s D-pad to move in a diagonal direction. This was kept in mind while programming how Mario's [[Bunny Mario|Bunny]] and [[Space Mario|Spacesuit]] performed high jumps.

He was eager to see the Bee Fly remain in the final game, as he was amused by how it would likely annoy players. While developing the controls for the game, Harada considered that players may find it difficult to hold down two buttons on the [[Game Boy]]'s D-pad to move in a diagonal direction. This was kept in mind while programming how Mario's [[Bunny Mario|Bunny]] and [[Space Mario|Spacesuit]] performed high jumps.


[[Kazumi Totaka]], who composed the music for ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'', acknowledged that the sound effect played when transforming into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] was originally identical to the one used for ''[[Super Mario World]]'' until about midway through development.<ref name="Shogakukan guide"/> However, he was afraid that the player would be given an impression that they are playing a game that overlaps with ''Super Mario World'', and become "negatively conscious" that they were playing on a small Game Boy screen compared to the television screen used by the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. Therefore, Totaka chose to use many different sound effects across other past ''Mario'' games. Asides from composing, Totaka also had a partial role in some of the discussions between Kiyotake, Harada, and Hosokawa. Totaka was able to provide comments and feedback while proposed ideas were being evaluated. He was also able to come up with suggestions of his own, although these were mostly rejected.<ref name="Shogakukan guide"/>

According to Takahiro Harada, the most challenging stage of development was adjusting and fine-tuning the test version after it was presented to playtesters. As he and the team had been playing and testing the gameplay since the beginning, they initially believed that the test version was too easy. However, Harada stated that the testers generally found the game very difficult. About 2-3 months was spent on making small changes to the stages, according to the feedback which they received from the playtesters.<ref name="Shogakukan guide"/>
