Super Mario Land is such an oddball game, almost as much so as the western Super Mario Bros 2. On the face of it, a fine little conversion of the basic gameplay of the original NES game. But the more you play it, the more little things feel different, the more you notice how it's really a unique entry in the series. And then it just jumps out of the same mood completely and becomes a side scrolling shooter. Bonkers, but so so fun.
