I've been playing Super Mario Land (GB/NSO) today. I swear this came from an alternate universe. It's such an odd Mario game. Koopa shells that explode, fire flower shots that bounce into the stratosphere, horizontal shooter levels. Madness. It's still a lot of fun. I wish the controls weren't so stiff, though. Stiff controls seems to be common on GB games.

I started playing this again after reading your post.
