When Super Mario Land accompanied the launch of the Super Nintendo, it was heralded as one of the best platform games of all time. Now, more than 10 years later, an almost exact port of the game has appeared on the Game Boy Advance. Has the game stood the test of time? Jeff Gerstmann gives you the whole story in this video review.

I really don't understand the hype + rave reviews from users. I found this game fun but not SO much fun + it became rather frustrating after some point. What's the point of "great game design" if for every side-mission you glean (and already that is hard) get you blocked at some point, angry and frustrated ? 7.5/10 but not more.

I just bought this. Man, I'm surprised this little GBA game still routinely sells for $20.00 or more. I hope it's worth it.

Surprising how casual Jeff is when he says this is the best game of all time on the bombcast.

Why does nobody pick up on the fact that this is a pretty crappy port. Washed out colours and terrible music, SMA3 was way better handled.

The only thing I disliked about this game is that you go to Super Mario rather than normal Mario when you get hit as Cape or Fire Mario, otherwise it's a perfect port, gameplay-wise anyway.
