Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins DX Nintendo Gameboy Vintage Video Game GB

Description

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins DX is a fan-made colour enhancement of Nintendo’s classic 1992 Game Boy platformer, created by ROM hacker toruzz and widely celebrated as one of the finest unofficial improvements ever made to a Game Boy title. The base game — Super Mario Land 2 — is already one of the best games in the entire Game Boy catalogue: a sprawling platformer in which Mario must reclaim his personal island from his newly introduced rival Wario, traversing six themed worlds including a haunted pumpkin zone, a miniature world of giant toys, a space-themed area, and Wario’s own castle. It sold over 11 million copies worldwide and introduced Wario to the franchise for the first time, making it one of the most historically significant entries in the Mario series.

The DX hack, released in December 2017, adds full Game Boy Color support in the spirit of Nintendo’s own Link’s Awakening DX, bringing vibrant, carefully chosen colour palettes to every world, enemy, and power-up. Each zone has its own distinct visual identity — the Macro Zone gleams with bright colour, while the Pumpkin Zone takes on appropriately eerie tones — and the hack also removes the slowdown that occasionally affected the original cartridge. Crucially, the DX patch adds the ability to play as Luigi, who handles differently from Mario with altered physics, giving the whole game a fresh dimension for players who know every corner of the original.

Whether you are rediscovering Super Mario Land 2 after years away or playing it for the first time, the DX version is simply the best way to experience this Game Boy classic. It is a loving tribute to one of Nintendo’s most underrated portable adventures, now looking better than ever on Game Boy Color hardware.
