Does anyone remember the Super Mario Land series for Gameboy? This series was so strange, but I still loved playing them on car rides.
The games felt surreal, it seemed so novel playing a mario game where you pilot a submarine and shoot at enemies, or when giant easter island heads are enemies in the game.
It's kind of funny how Mario has evolved over the years, it doesn't sound so out of place anymore. I'm pretty sure there are Moai statue enemies in Mario Odyssey funny enough.
Super Mario Land also gave birth to Wario as an enemy and then eventually his own gameboy Spin-off Warioland (subheaded as 'Super Mario Land 3'), which went on to have more installments than Super Mario Land itself!
Wario is one of Nintendo's best characters and deeply underutilized (along with Waluigi).
Yes! I loved Warioland as well, what wonderful strange little games lol. I never got a chance to play Warioland Shake it, but I've played all the rest!
I agree I always want more Wario games, we hardly get any! And I can't believe how little they've done with Waluigi. I thought for sure he would get a Smash invite :(
I don't remember much about Wario Land on the gamecube... but if captain toad can have his own adventure game on the switch that's actually pretty good, than so can Wario!
