I am trying my luck once again with Super Mario Land 2 - Six Golden Coins. So far I never managed to beat it. It has savegames, and in theory plenty of opportunity to gain extra lives, but something about the slippery movement of Mario rubs me the wrong way. I like the Wario games much more. And even though I haven’t beaten Sonic on the GameGear either, I came further to the finish line.

Mario is in a jelly level. Coins at the top.

      After 15 or so lives I managed to beat the Mario Zone. Got a bit unlucky at the lottery. Drew witches…

      Two golden coins are now in the portal. Four sockets empty.

        Halloween is coming soon, so I managed to beat the pumpkin zone for the third coin. The witch was a rather easy boss.

        The pumpkin zone map shows graveyards, ghosts and coffins.

          Fourth coin is go! Managed to beat the rat boss in Macro Zone. Easiest stage so far.

          Four coons in the portal.

            Now at the boss level in the Turtle Zone. So far the game got easier. I think it means I am getting the hang of it. Also, now I have 999 coins and can try to get the BIG prize.

              I managed to get to the secret level in Turtle Zone. I must admit it doesn’t seem that worthwhile…

                Star Zone boss is my personal nemesis. I just can’t seem to beat him. I will have to farm some lives soon…

                  Finally made it. All six golden coins are mine. And: I have a deja vu of the final level. Good grief this is terrible!

                  The portal now has six golden coins inserted an will open up!

                    I tried the Wario Castle a few times, but failed. I am not in the mood to practice it more. So I am now looking at some of the secret levels.
                    The Space Zone secret level is relatively easy to reach. But as usual you have to go through this every time you want to play it.

                    The zone map changed and now the cartoon moon has a shooting star stuck in his forehead and he’s looking grumpy.

              @root42@chaos.social In my opinion, it is the easiest but also graphically the most beautiful part of the Super Mario Land series.
