Introduction by SmartSE

Reflinks will help you to turn bare urls into templated references, hopefully leaving you more time to write and reducing link rot caused by bare urls. The tool visits each webpage that is in a bare reference and collects the page title and some other information automatically, the tool has to be checked over manually to make sure that the references are filled in correctly by the tool. You may have to remove some extra information from the template and add extra details if the tool is not able to find it for you. Some links may be marked as dead links incorrectly as the site blocks the tool, you may wish to manually check these dead links before adding the dead link tag to the article. The tool also does a few other minor maintenance tasks.

In ''Super Mario Land 2,'' the player assumes the role of the protagonist [[Mario]], whose main objective is reclaim his castle, stolen by the antagonist [[Wario]]. However, the magical seal that Wario placed on the castle entrance can only be undone by collecting the six Golden Coins, which are guarded by Wario's henchmen in various locales of the game's setting, Mario Land. Mario's quest thus revolves around retrieving each of the golden coins in order to regain access to his castle and defeat Wario. ''Super Mario Land 2'' is notable for its debut of Wario, who became the protagonist of the [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] [[Wario (franchise)|''Wario'' series]] starting with the game's sequel, ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''.

At 4 [[megabit]]s, it was one of the largest games on the Game Boy at the time of its release and eight times larger than its predecessor's capacity.{{citation needed|date=October 2011}}

==Gameplay==
[[Image:GB Super Mario Land 2.png|thumb|160px|left|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Land 2'']]

The objective of ''Super Mario Land 2'' is to reach the end of each level, defeating or avoiding enemies while doing so. The game retains several enemies from the [[Super Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]], such as the [[Goomba]] and the Koopa, and also introduces several new enemies. Enemies can usually be defeated by jumping on their head, but also may need to be defeated in different ways, such as a fireball. Other famous mechanics include Warp Pipes, which allow the player to enter hidden areas or find shortcuts, coins, and ? Blocks, which hide coins and items. Unlike in previous ''Mario'' games, coins are not used to get lives; instead, they are used to play games in a special area that awards lives and other power-ups. To gain lives, instead, the player must find hearts like they did in the original. After killing 100 enemies, a star comes flying down which provides a short period of invincibility. The star can also be found at other places in the game. While being invincible, the 5th and each subsequent enemy killed will provide one life.

While its predecessor was similar to the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''Super Mario Land 2'' has more in common with ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]'': The player is no longer restricted to moving right in a level, and any level (except for the introductory stage and "boss" levels) can be replayed. At the end of a level, there is a door that must be touched to clear a level. In addition, there is also a bell above the door which, if touched, activates a mini-game where the player can try to get either a power-up or [[1-up]]s.

There are 32 levels in total, based in several different themed zones. There are some [[Level (video gaming)#Secret levels|secret levels]] that can only be accessed by finding alternative exits found in regular levels. Once the player clears or loses a life in these secret levels, he or she is returned to the level where the secret exit was found. Each zone has its own boss, which must be defeated to get one of the 6 Coins. If the player loses all of Mario's lives, all of the 6 Coins are returned to the bosses, which must be defeated again to retrieve the coins.

''Super Mario Land 2'' features three returning power-ups—the Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, and Starman. The Super Mushroom increases Mario's size, the Fire Flower gives him the ability to shoot fireballs, and the Starman makes Mario invincible to anything besides pits. Both the Super Mushroom and the Fire Flower also allow Mario to do a spin jump like in ''Super Mario World''. Due to the grayscale palette, Fire Mario is differentiated from Super Mario by having a feather in his cap, a feature not seen in any other Mario series game. Also unique to ''Super Mario Land 2'' is the Magic Carrot power-up, which turns Mario into Bunny Mario. Bunny Mario can jump higher, jump repeatedly by holding down the jump button, and descend slowly using his ears (Interestingly, this shows a similarity to the "Super Leaf" power-up in [[Super Mario Bros. 3]]).

Like [[Super Mario World]], instead of going through a series of stages through each world, the player navigates a large overworld map that contains an additional map for each world with its own series of stages followed by a boss. However, the six worlds can be played in any order unlike in most Mario games that feature overworld maps. The game also saves the player's progress after beating a stage, though this is the first Mario game released to a portable console to have a save feature.

==Plot==
''Super Mario Land 2'' takes place immediately following ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. While Mario was away in Sarasaland, Wario put an evil spell over Mario's world, Mario Land, brainwashing its inhabitants into believing Wario is their master and Mario is their enemy. Wario's motive behind this sudden attack was to take control over Mario's castle to have a palace of his own. After traveling through Mario Land and collecting the six Golden Coins, Mario regains entry to his castle. Mario enters and defeats Wario, who flees, breaking the spell. After Mario was successful to win the battle against Wario, he was able to regain full access to his Castle again, and everything turns back to normal.

==Development==
The music was composed by [[Kazumi Totaka]], and it is one of his earliest works. [[Totaka's Song]] is also hidden in the game and can be heard in the Game Over screen after waiting for exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
