This game is notable for its inclusion of different or unrelated enemies and sound effects compared to traditional titles. Additionally, though the game did not receive critical acclaim, mainly due to its graphical capabilities and shortness in length, it sold extremely well, eventually totaling over 18 million copies sold, making it the fourth best-selling game for the Game Boy overall. The game was later rereleased for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in 2011, over twenty years after the original game was released. | This game is notable for its inclusion of different or unrelated enemies and sound effects compared to traditional titles.

A board game adaptation of this game was released exclusively in Germany, titled ''[[Das Super Mario Spiel]]''. Although the board game does not explicitly state its theming to ''Super Mario Land'', it features the same characters, worlds, and story. | A board game adaptation of this game was released exclusively in Germany, titled ''[[Das Super Mario Spiel]]''.

===Ganchan Coin glitch=== | |||
During the battle against [[Hiyoihoi]], Mario must be on the left edge of the boss's platform. If done correctly, every time the boss throws a Ganchan, Mario collects it as a coin. | |||
===Simultaneous sound glitch=== | |||
In [[Muda Kingdom|Muda Kingdom-1]], Mario must get hit by a [[Honen]] at the same time he falls from the bottom side of the screen, causing a glitched sound to play instead of the regular sound effects. This also happens in Muda Kingdom-3 if Mario auto-fires a wall while turning into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]. | |||
