[TAS] GB Super Mario Land by MUGG in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2091M
TAS originally published on 2012-08-19
Aside from Tetris, Super Mario Land is probably the most well-known cartridge for the original Game Boy. It features a marked departure from traditional Mario enemies and themes, including Sphinxes, seahorses, fists emerging from pipes, Egyptian-themed levels, Chinese-themed levels and UFO-themed levels.
This publication improves on the previous one by 00:04.33 seconds from a new trick that allows Mario to warp around the screen on auto-scrolling levels as well as a new strategy used to end the mandatory bonus game after each world quicker.

I'm 34 years old and just finished this game for the first time in my life. Took me about two bottles of beer.

THANK YOU OH! DAI

[@Mephitus_LePew]

12:38 is like a bad Mario fanfic. "Then Mario and Daisy flew off in their rocketship and lived happily ever after!"

[@MeesterTweester]

Ironic as this is like the most canon scene Daisy has had out of any game

[@yelir64]

I mean, this game was developed by different people, so it kinda was a fanfic in a way

[@JcDizon]

Mario is cheating on Peach

[@michaelalameda2002]

Wario took over Mario's castle while he was saving Daisy, and he immediately jumps into action to save his island from Wario's control.

[@JohnEvansChaoseed]

It's a canon event.

[@Manuelooo]

My first video game ever. I love everything about this, especially the ending music. Makes me remember the carefree times as a child

[@Flux3on]

That 2-3 completion threw me off

[@angryladgd]

To explain it (if needed): how most NES/GB/GBC game works physics-wise is when you go too far, you come out the other side. If the death barrier wasn’t there at the bottom of the screen you’d keep falling. It only applies to sprites and Mario went far enough off-screen to trigger the button to starts the exit animation.

[@rorz999]

Oh! Dai

[@AeonLumen.]

This is art. I grew up playing almost exclusively this Gameboy game.

[@GuanlongX]

3:54 is easily one of my favorite parts. It's almost satisfying to see Mario flicker around and look like he's not moving. Also the 2-3 ending.

[@shinycharizard6981]

I didn’t notice he’s flickering, now I was laughing so hard

[@Laika_in_Space]

I watched this TAS again and I'm not one bit less mind-blown.

[@SchorschXx]

I love the humour in this video :D

[@PrimeIsCrime]

My god I loved this game.

[@PanaSonyc]

This is truly insane. This made me realise how shit I am in this game😂 yet my record is at level 4-1with 120.000 points. However, my goal is to complete this game one day, whatever it takes. If I manage to do it, I'll do an update on my comment. Great speedrun! I love your video. 👍🏻 Edit: I did it, I completed Super Mario Land with a score of 375090. Thankfully the batteries didn't die. I love you all!

[@kangli9857]

11:27 me when the 4th glass of wine kicks in

[@AndersonNeo12]

The whole speedrun, perfect. The under water part 3:36 and the sky part 10:02, that was trolling on the highest level :D ps.: When i first finished this game as a kid and the music starts, i felt like i accomplished everything in my life 12:40

[@fluffycritter]

I'm a fan of the TAS trope of turning autoscrollers into non-stop flex-fests, because I mean, what else is there to do during them? The Gradius TAS is nothing BUT that, and it's hilarious.

[@mattiafanti9751]

Is that trick at the end of the sealevel (avoid the monster) legit?

[@fluffycritter]

@@mattiafanti9751 Yes, it's even part of the standard RTA as I understand it

[@shoegazemusicisthebest2715]

@AndersonNeo12 👍

[@MeesterTweester]

Wonderful TAS, this was one of my first Mario games

[@Bammer2001]

This was one of the few games my grandparents had, growing up as a child and playing on their Game Boy. I always kept on failing on 1-1, and only reached 1-3 the most.

[@damiankuper790]

Wow you’re bad I was six when I killed tatanga

[@Antipodian]

Wait a minute...the beginning of the credit music (starting at 12:47) is a nod to the rocket launch music from Game Boy Tetris, from the same composer. Sneaky move, Chip Tanaka.

[@SuperVada]

I love both SML and SML2. This was a fun run to watch.

[@80sMeavyHetal]

2:02 My experience with girls in a nutshell.

[@turbomario]

I too have experienced girls turning into weird evil fly creatures!

[@matty6598]

LOL

[@luisbenavides1168]

Excelent game Super Mario Land by Gameboy

[@AdyReavill]

1:17 Best tune in the game

[@SmashCrafter321]

Remember that one mock up of Super Mario Bros on GBC with the art style of Super Mario Land? You think anyone ever tried making something like that as a ROM hack or homebrew?

[@davidthecommenter]

super mario bros. deluxe with the sprites of super mario land? at least we'd be able to actually see the damn game.

[@Laika_in_Space]

Good job

[@brianhebert6152]

2-3's completion is like the TAS had a stroke

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

Never before considered that the submarine and plane levels are at a set speed and so you might as well mess about.....

[@julianemery718]

When I was little I would play this game almost all the time, I got really good at it as well. However, I could never beat the seahorse part of the final boss, and I got pretty consistent with getting to that point, well, when I wasn't going to bed at least. I never managed to beat him, but I could tell, even my younger self, that it was the final boss with how difficult it was, but I never knew it had two phases.

[@supermarc]

Man Tatanga couldn't even finish the intro of his boss song :(

[@sheldoncooper8199]

All the Fake Daisy s this was the Beginning of Trolling

[@IzayoiArwena]

This is the fastest game ive ever seen!

[@user-cf7zt3jo4s]

7:30 It jumping is cool!

[@BlueShoeMagoo]

I’m waiting for this to come out on the NSO Game Boy library!

[@rorz999]

Today is the day

[@howlingwolf456]

0:33 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! MY EARS!!!!

[@sheldoncooper8199]

I am just watching this for the music this Game was my Life in 1990

[@damiantube_tv6506]

might be spliced at 0:51 possibly, but just to point it out, so my guess is probably wrong

[@ChopSuck]

Shouldn't this be labelled as a LOTAD?

[@AndersonNeo12]

Is 361 really the best achievable time on 1:1? I´m asking cause it´s so da*n close and i could swear as a kid when i played this game (let´s just say more than i should have lol) once i saw a 362 on my Gameboy. As a kid, i had no idea what speedrunning is, but the 361 on 1:1 allways bugged me like hell, so i played and played... once i seem to remeber a 362 at the endtimer. By now, i´m pretty sure maybe it was just some sun shadows ("blocking some pixels") on my gameboy or a psycholgical efffect that made me belive it, but i´m really curious. I´ve tried a lot of diffrent jumping, routs and i think almost everything that is possible to do on a gameboy lol

[@GardevoirBoy1991]

This was the game when many people treated Daisy as a stranger because she came from a weird land that only appeared in this game. Because they weren't familiar with Daisy, they assumed that she was a Peach recolor instead of a different character just because of how she looked and appeared in this game. Nintendo had good intentions with Daisy, it's just that the gaming community during the 90's was too stupid to understand Daisy because she came from a foreign land which many people didn't understand as it only appeared in this game. They got away with Daisy being a Peach recolor for the 90's because there wasn't enough proof of how Daisy was different from Peach as they were very familiar with Peach and the Mushroom Kingdom sealing Daisy's fate for major video game appearances during the 90's. It didn't help that Daisy didn't make the cut to Mario's Tennis on the Virtual Boy. I'm glad she is still in video games today, it's just that Nintendo of America being scared to make controversy thanks to the FCC and their back then stict policies were the roadblocks of Daisy's existence in the 90's.

[@alexismorales1483]

5:24 OH! DAI

[@thomasffrench3639]

Is it bad that whenever I hear the underground theme in this game I think of Super Smash Bros Brawl?

[@ShaunMoore]

No.

[@AeonLumen.]

I was speed running this on my og Gameboy in 1993

[@user-ok8tr6cy7s]

3:54

[@Cynicalp]

Funny how this takes longer than smb1

[@tayway210]

SML --> SMB SML2: 6GC --> SMW

[@sheldoncooper8199]

The Gameboy was the Nintendo Switch for Kids born in 1981.

[@waxxchris01]

5:09 wtf jajajajaj

[@user-su7si2qo4f]

7:41 that boss was probably waiting for years for a challenger and you ruined his moment in one second

[@user-dk4ui8np7e]

Plz tell me how to download this game

[@HuskyShields]

Option 1: You are gonna need an emulator such as VisualBoyAdvance then search up ‘Super Mario Land ROM Download’ You can open it up on VisualBoyAdvance when it is done downloading Option 2: Get Super Mario Land and a Gameboy insert the Super Mario Land Cartridge

[@HuskyShields]

@Kovu X-2016 yes

[@ClintonChelak]

I'm surprised that I didn't see warp pipes used. None of them speed things up?

[@mechadevil3253]

i havent played sml in forever but if i remember correctly, they just bring you back to where you entered the pipe

[@ClintonChelak]

@@mechadevil3253 yeah I think you're right, now that I've played it more. It was hard at first to verify since you can't walk backwards.

[@MeesterTweester]

None of the pipes save time in this game

[@woofmeow8877]

I have one question. Do those warps at the end save time? If so, how? also, this is the 69th comment ._.

[@JustJamesNotJerry]

When I played this game when I was younger, I think I eventually my all time fastest time was something like 15 minutes, which I don’t think is all to bad for someone who doesn’t speedrun all that much.

[@jesmercapulong9583]

Mario need to take a bath emidiately

[@BuakawPorAdi]

This game needs a mario 64 style remake bad!

Super Mario Land Gameplay Makes Me Want Lasagna.

[@user-fo8zs7ic9n]

i finished this before drinking ever(wait, my father a few times did not know how to put me to sleep?!), now it takes me a bottle of wine to not feel bored?! the problem with emulator speed runs is also that on the real consoles the controller timing might not be identical, so some speed runs are not even a demonstration for "perfect play", despite that seems perfectly done?! 14:20 Flappy Bird?! but Super Mario Land is much better of course?! despite the bug gameplay opportunities that follows seemingly?! could a talented 4 year old already finish this?! an analphabet could finish it, You still learn arithmetics, i believe the common 5-6 year old could finish it, iirc i was 7 about, 8 at highest?! got the GameBoy December 1991 at 6;7 from my father?! thanks to the baptize photograph guess to recall when, maybe only with the Tetris cartridge, Super Mario Land maybe for next birthday?!even dances with the mushroom in the u boat, but the input can be pre-recorded?!You could edit the replay files of the emulator?! no human [being] can react that fast?! great as an analysis of the level design and interaction options still?!of course Mario does flicker when invincible by enemy contact, but did He also coordinate skip jump?!

[@noisew4ll]

the game's like a kid's fanfic fever dream: mayro fihgts his way thru ancient egypt and fight a the sphinx and then arive at the fish bone lake from his UFO and then he go in his a submarine and shott many fish with his epic torpeddos and then he go to eatser island and then a scary cave with a spiders and then he fight a rock throwing moai head man and then he go to china and become communist and then he take off in his plane and have epic shooting plane fight and then he have a extrenely epic showdown with tatanga my orignal character (dont steal) and he save the princes dayse and they fly away in a rocket shipp amd live ever after

[@albertfcb6654]

took me around ten months to finish the game when i was like 6 xD ... all levels after the submarine level were hard as fuck xD

[@MeesterTweester]

beat super mario bros. 1

[@samanthakurbs1523]

How did you die but beat the level at the same time

[@MeesterTweester]

Mario didn't die. They used a screen wrap glitch where if you are pressed off the screen on the left side you can warp to the right side, beating the level faster.

[@TTB08]

1:43. The time... Guess what I mean

[@justcuz8202]

I have NO idea what that could POSSIBLY mean

[@TTB08]

Idk either, I think it was something about 361 being the numbers to get fireworks in smb but I'm just guessing

[@so15]

01:17

[@shinycharizard6981]

Is it just me? Or am I always laughing at these tas video games video that they always do something funny random things for fun like mostly the Underwater and sky; Underwater: such as 3:41 (mushroom), 3:54-4:01 (Mario flickering around like he’s not actually moving), 4:13-4:19 (near the enemies), 4:20-4:32 (breaking the whole block), 4:33 (mushroom), 4:36-4:40 (offscreen), 4:52-5:02 (breaking the whole blocks; almost), and 5:02-5:04 (offscreen + boss kill) Sky: Such as 10:02-10:15 (circle around one block and near enemies), 10:20-10:35 (near the missiles), 10:50-11:07 (all enemies dead with star and get 4k points), 11:11 (offscreen), 11:13-11:15 (near missile again), 11:19-11:26 (all coins collect), 11:27-11:47 (out of place/glitch out), 11:47-11:57 (circle around two fire ball block), 12:01 (offscreen), and lastly 12:02-12:11 (quickest boss kill ever) There ya have it, my two favorite lvl mostly and laughing off a lot, I can’t be the only one

[@pjorkan]

Kinda looks like someone running kazio.

[@victorzahircontreras-lizar5057]

😵😵

[@OCG1104]

This game is very hard

[@turbomario]

once you learn the patterns and get used to the somewhat clunky controls, it’s a breeze

[@BaseballIsntAligned]

Exposing: how does this guy kill stuff by just walking into them like example: he runs into the boss on 1-3 and it hits him when it shouldn’t

[@sonicboy678]

Welcome to TAS.

[@andersbell2046]

It's a TAS (tool assisted speedrun) which essentially means that the runner goes through frame by frame to get the best POSSIBLE time, weather or not a human can actually do it. I recon he wasn't killing those enemies by walking into them, but was instead throwing a fireball at the exact frame he touched them to kill I instantly.

[@lasmirandadennsivillia5048]

how can you run that game? Couldnt find a 1.0 rom :/

[@HuskyShields]

Any SML ROM will work
