New Super Mario Land 2: A Timeless Platformer Revamped for Modern Times

It's been over two decades since Nintendo first released Super Mario Land 2: The Quest Begins on the original Gameboy. Yet, despite its age, this classic platformer remains as relevant and enjoyable today as it was back in the early '90s. In fact, with New Super Mario Land 2 now available for both iOS and Android devices (as well as Nintendo Switch), a whole new generation of gamers can experience the thrill of guiding plumber extraordinaire Mario through treacherous landscapes filled with familiar foes.

At its core, New Super Mario Land 2 hasn't changed much since it first appeared on stores' shelves. The basic premise remains largely unchanged - you control our hero as he navigates increasingly difficult levels set across several distinct worlds in order without taking too many hits from enemies or hazards along the way; collect power-ups like mushrooms to grow bigger so they don't harm him anymore while also finding secret items suchas coins and heart blocks which give extra lives when collected.

However, it's not just about nostalgia that makes New Super Mario Land 2 worth playing again. The graphics have been lovingly remade in vibrant HD-Style color, bringing back fond memories of hours spent huddled over the original Gameboy screen with its limited monochrome display. Now you can enjoy lush green grasslands, bright blue skies and even brief forays into underground tunnels all rendered in crisp high definition.

But beyond just looking pretty (although let's be honest - it looks bloody fantastic), New Super Mario Land 2 has also been given a healthy dose of modern polish to appeal to both old hands who remember the original as well as new players looking for their first taste of platform gaming action. Tight controls make navigation feel responsive and fluid, while smooth animation ensures that even the most hair-raisingly difficult sections remain thrilling rather than frustrating.

Of course, one key aspect of any Mario game is its soundtrack - something New Super Mario Land 2 delivers in spades with an infectious array of catchy tunes guaranteed to get stuck inside your head for days on end. From the main theme's infectiously upbeat opening strains through to each level's own unique boss battle theme (try not singing 'it's-a me, MARIO!' along as you face off against Bowser Jr.'s ridiculous rambunctiousness), Kenta Nagashima and Shinichiro Ike have outdone themselves in creating a score that perfectly complements the on-screen action.

Overall then, New Super Mario Land 2 is an absolute must-play for anyone who grew up with Nintendo's iconic plumber - but it also represents great value for any new fans of platform gaming looking to experience one of gaming's greatest franchises at its very best. So grab your controller (or tap away on your phone or tablet), dust off those old Mario skills and get ready to blast through some truly unmissable fun!
