''Super Mario Land'' is the first game in the series, released in 1989 for the Game Boy. This game also marks the debut appearances of [[Princess Daisy]] and [[Tatanga]]. This game possesses many similarities to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. As far as gameplay is concerned, it has the same basic gameplay style as the others. The player makes [[Mario]] run, [[jump]], collect [[coins]] and power-ups (including the new [[Superball]] item), kill [[List of enemies|enemies]], go down [[Warp Pipe]]s (which usually contain underground areas with coins, just like ''Super Mario Bros''), etc. The [[List of bosses|boss]] battles are also very similar, where the player either has to avoid a boss' attacks, run underneath it, and hit the switch behind it or just simply shoot it until it's destroyed. ''Super Mario Land'' also features a new gameplay gimmick in which Mario has to steer a submarine in an underwater stage and pilot an airplane during the final stage, where Mario has his "final" showdown with Tatanga to rescue Princess Daisy, whom he kidnaps, supposedly in an attempt to get her to become his queen so that he can rule over [[Sarasaland]]. | ''Super Mario Land'' is the first game in the series, released in 1989 for the Game Boy.
