Authenticity check: A search reveals that the phrase "regarded by many" appears in the text. Is the phrase a symptom of a dubious statement? Could a source be quoted instead? Perhaps the "many" could be identified? Might text be edited to more genuinely reflect specific facts? —Wetman

i dont know sorry —Rubber cat

Seriously, the "regarded by many" bit is completely ungrounded and actually serves to tarrish the game. It is AFAIK held in fairly HIGH regard in terms of Mario side scrollers, and i can't remember hearing or reading an opinion that says the opposite. Considering i've been an avid nintendo gamer for 17 years and have sort of a disturbing, geekish interest in these games, i find that odd. I'm removing it for now, it has no base in reality and represents pov. --Decept404 21:26, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

For the record, Super Mario Land has a user rating of 9.0 on Gamespot. That is higher than both Super Mario Bros. 2 (8.4) and Super Mario Sunshine (8.5). The Legend of Miyamoto 20:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Wait, "Voice"? Characters aren't voiced in this game! Or is there a reason that those names are listed.... Am I missing something? --Supermariorobot 02:44, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] port

is there a port of this game or is one planned? (preferably wiht color!--PopiethePopester 23:12, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• There was a port planned for the Virtual Boy ;) --SeizureDog 07:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding cleanup

I have tried to improve the flow of the article somewhat. I think it's pretty good myself; but I wasn't completely sure about myself in some areas, such as the gameplay and story sections. Could someone double-check my work, or whatever the eqilivant is one Wikipedia? --GUTTERTAHAH 22:34, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A Few Revisions

I corrected the article's information about the Super Flower, and added italics to game names that were missing them. Also, I made note of the GameFAQs link leading to four guides, not just one.

It seems to me that this article does not require cleanup any longer. Who gives the OK to remove the cleanup tag? --69.64.3.12 16:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)Derek

I agree, I'll remove it now. --GUTTERTAHAH 03:49, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Super Mario Bros. theme?

(Of note is the fact that the Super Mario Bros. theme is heard in the levels where Mario rides the Marine and Sky Pop, with an increased tempo and some notes changed slightly.)

I don't think so. I do see a kind of resemblance, but it's a stretch to say it's the same theme at all. - furrykef (Talk at me) 22:28, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I think it sounds like a remix...

[edit] GA on Hold

OK, first off, citations need to be properly formatted, some aren't. making it the third highest selling game of the Mario Series [2] - try and make sure the citations are by what is being cited-- remove spaces, et al. That's all I see for now, fix them and we should be good to go. David Fuchs (talk • contribs) 23:00, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, some more nitpicky things: there are a couple of double spaces between headings; and fair use rationale for all images. See the images at Halo 2 for examples. In addition, the lead is a bit short, whether or not there is any more relevant info is up to you. David Fuchs (talk • contribs) 23:06, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. I fixed the citations, as well as the double spaces between headings. Also, I provided every picture with a fair use rationale. For the lead section, I added Gunpei Yokoi as creator. --Accered 12:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

The YouTube link should be removed per Wikipedia's guidelines on YouTube videos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links/YouTube). I'm not sure if this video is fair use. Mouse Nightshirt 13:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Done. --Accered 13:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Right, well I'm happy enough, but since I'm not the reviewing editor, I can't touch. However, as part of WikiProject CVG, I'm happy to rate it as a GA for WPCVG. Mouse Nightshirt 18:43, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Well it looks good to me. Using the powers invested in me by the GA template, Super Mario Land is now a good article. Shazam! Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs) 22:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
