Super Mario Land Review - GameVerse Club – Book Club for Games

This is our very own book club for games, where we spin the wheel, pick a retro title, play it between episodes, and come back to share our thoughts, stories, and sometimes… our salt.

This time, the OG4 reflect on our last pick from the wheel:
🍄 Super Mario Land – the tiny but mighty Game Boy launch title that sent Mario to the mysterious land of Sarasaland. Does it still hold up? Did we enjoy it or just endure it? And how does it compare to other early Mario entries?

We each give our personal ratings and then…
It’s time to fire up the GameVerse Club Wheel again!

Here were the 8 contenders on the board this time:
🧱 Tetris (Game Boy)
🌟 Kirby’s Dream Land (Game Boy)
🫧 Bubble Bobble (Game Boy)
💊 Dr. Mario (GBA)
💰 Wario Land II (Game Boy Color)
💥 Killer Instinct (Game Boy)
🌕 Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
⛳ Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)

And the wheel landed on…
🎉 Killer Instinct for Game Boy!

Yup, we’re trading platforms for punches as we dive into a handheld fighter with serious ambition. Want to play along? Let’s do this.

🕹️ Join the GameVerse Club!
We’ll be playing Killer Instinct until the next GameVerse Club episode, and we’d love for you to play along! Share your thoughts, screenshots, retro memories, or button-mashing woes on our Discord:
