Temper-tantrum tyrant seizes Mario Land! In his greatest Game Boy adventure, Mario faces off against his evil rival Wario, who has captured Mario Land and turned it into his private playground.

Along the way, through six zones, Mario can nab Super Mushrooms, Super Stars, and Fire Flowers for extra power—or a Magic Carrot to turn into a high-flying hare! |
