Some stages contain alternate exits leading to hidden stages if Mario loses a life in any of these hidden stages, he will be returned to the previous stage.
Zones may be played in any order, but their individual stages must be completed in sequence to reach a Zone's boss stage and collect one of the six golden coins. Players can move between and select any of the game's six primary "Zones" from the overworld map, each of which contains several stages. In outer space, holding the A button causes Mario to ascend at a constant rate. While on the moon, Mario can jump much higher than normal. Space Mario: Mario dons a space suit during his visit to the Space Zone.However, soap bubbles are easily popped by enemies. Soap Bubble: Only available in the Hippo stage, Mario can find large bubbles near two hippo-shaped statues that allow him to fly when he touches them.Starman: Grants temporary invincibility for fifteen seconds.Unlike other flight-based power-ups from previous Mario titles, such as the Super Leaf or Feather Cape, Bunny Mario cannot actually fly in the proper sense he can only slow his descent by gliding while airborne. It transforms players into Bunny Mario, who can glide through the air by flapping his long ears. Carrot: This power-up is unique to Super Mario Land 2.
Fireballs can also break certain special blocks.
If Mario completely exhausts his stock of extra lives, the player will receive a game over screen additionally, any of the six golden coins collected up to that point will be returned to their respective Zone's bosses, requiring Mario to defeat these bosses a second time.Ī second counter at the bottom of the screen reflects the number of enemies defeated by Mario. Coins can be spent at the Casino hidden in a cave near Mario's castle for more chances to earn power-ups and extra lives. Instead of granting players a 1-Up after collecting one hundred Coins, the game continues to increase the tally at the bottom of the screen up to a maximum of 999 Coins. While Super Mario Land 2 features Coins, a staple of the Mario series, these collectibles are handled in a different manner than in previous games. Players can optionally try to reach a larger bell hanging above the stage Goal if Mario manages to ring the large bell, he will be taken to a bonus stage in which the player can attempt to earn power-ups or extra lives by playing one of two mini-games. Every stage contains a small bell somewhere near the middle that serves as a checkpoint, allowing Mario to resume from that point in the stage after losing a life. Mario typically proceeds from left-to-right in order to reach the Goal at the end of the stage. The Spin Jump from Super Mario World also makes its return in this game, allowing Super Mario or Fire Mario to break certain blocks underneath his feet. Mario makes use of his impressive jumping abilities to traverse several separate stages while collecting power-ups, which can help him to avoid or defeat his enemies. Super Mario Land 2 follows the basic template of several prior Mario platforming titles, particularly Super Mario World which had been released only two years prior. Super Mario Land 2 was re-released on the Nintendo 3DS eShop as a Virtual Console title in late 2011.
