Retrotopia Talks Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

About this episode

The hosts discuss the 1992 Game Boy game Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins and its impact on retro gaming.

Welcome to another episode of Retrotopia: Another Video Game Podcast. This is a show where we, Alan, Brian, and Sam, get together to discuss video games from years gone by. We like to look at video games from the perspective of lifelong gamers and how they hold up in the retro sphere. This week we are discussing Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, a Game Boy game released in 1992 that takes Mario on one of his strangest and most imaginative adventures yet, as he battles his greedy rival Wario across bizarre themed worlds to reclaim his castle and recover the six golden coins needed to unlock the way home. Expanding far beyond the original Super Mario Land, the game introduced larger levels, hidden exits, memorable power-ups, and a more detailed overworld map, all while delivering classic platforming packed with giant enemies, surreal locations, and the debut of one of Nintendo’s most iconic anti-heroes.
