I ended up getting about 15 minutes into this video and took a break to playthrough the entire game. Normally I just watch the videos, but nostalgia bit me and I just had to go and play. Mario games just hold up so well, even after decades.

I remember this. The first Mario game I actually beat through my own skill. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Some of the best music in the Mario series here. I can't believe they never brought back any of the enemies from this game back.

Even after 30+ years, the sound the cloud boss makes when taking damage still makes me laugh. Its just the goofiest sound effect to me.

These japanese creators are like an All Star Team of Awesomeness. I love that we honor them here.

If I remember correctly the "glitter enemies" can be destroyed with sky pop, but it takes like 10 hits.

I got a new Game Boy for my 8th birthday back in 1990. My dad also bought me Kid Icaurus & Mario Land. I was very happy! I still have these items till this day that I cherish very much. Great memories! Thank you! 👍🍻

And whoa, never knew this game had continues. It's so easy to accumulate 20+ lives that I never died enough to get to that point.

Still to this day my favourite old Mario game. I absolutely love Sarasaland and Tatanga is a great villain. The comics following this setting have always had a close place in my heart.

Another absolutely incredible guide, I just beat the Castlevania NES trilogy using the guides you made for them, your videos are truly amazing. It would be awesome to see an Earthbound Beginnings guide a.k.a. Mother.

it was the first video game i ever played. i still have my original grey brick gameboy, packed away. what a classic.

I remember staying up night after night after Christmas trying to beat this game.

I remember playing this one as a kid! Always remembered that the bosses all said “BAAAA!” when you’d hit them with your fire flower. Good times. Simpler times. Thanks for taking me back for a bit! 👍🏽

I don't know if your intros get enough credit so let me just compliment your research and organization of information. This is a great channel!

man, this is one of the games I put countless hours into on my Game Boy back in the day :) this, and Tetris :D

Thank you for giving some love to this series, looking forward to the sequel. Such a small but fun game!

I really enjoy and appreciate the history lessons we get before the playthroughs! Thanks for all your efforts!

This game means a lot to me. For the past 2 years my daughter has had to get casts regularly from Shriners. This is the game I playthrough every time she has her procedure. I’ll always cherish this game for helping me get through and continue to get through our medical journeys. Also I didn’t expect an ICP reference during a UCBVG video.

I love watching these after I beat a game myself to see what I missed. Just played through this on my super Gameboy 2 days ago. Thanks awesome channel

Every one of these playthroughs I've watched, I've always admired a line that ought to become your signature: "Make one too many wrong moves (or if you die too many times), it'll be game....OVER!"

*sigh* God, the memories just looking at this game bring up. Honestly, I think that's half the reason I keep coming back. That, and I thoroughly enjoy the way everything is structured/presented by you> Great job as always my dude. Big Thumbs Up indeed. :)

The real magic of this channel is watching you kick the crap out of games that gave me so much trouble back in the day. Thank you for that.

I swear those diamond enemies on the last stage can be beaten by shooting them... it just takes a lot of shots, if I'm remembering correctly. Not worth it, but it can be done.

The shortest Mario game, but one of the best Mario games.

The first two Mario Land games are amazingly good

This was my first Mario game, i didn't play the OG trilogy from the NES till the All-Stars ports on the SNES. I got this game with my DMG Game Boy along with Tetris. As a Sega kid growing up, this was my first exposure to the titular Nintendo plumber and it was an unforgettable one. So much love for this game!

Well done! Thanks for the new tricks! I've been playing this game since 1990 and I didn't know some of these techniques. You made me want to play it now 😊

7:05 I also say "alright" exactly like you do without even thinking 😂😂😂😂

The absence of this game for Switch Online is a crime

this channel is SEVERELY underrated…

6:06 bro your intros never ever ever get old 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the inflection on the "and" is perfect. I find myself using your phrase in conversations all the time

I love the idea of Mario piloting vehicles such as submarines and a plane, as well as a flipping rocket, way before he touched a kart.

Great video. You manage to make even these easier playthroughs entertaining to watch.

As the very first game I played on a portable console this game holds a special meaning for me. Even to this day I casually speedrun it now and then just for fun.

Super Mario Land is incredibly easy to beat, and this is coming from someone who hasn't beaten a lot of video games. I couldn't beat this game when I was a kid, but I as got older and more experienced, now I can beat it every time. The developers of this game were generous with the amount of 1 Up hearts, bonus rooms with lots of coins, and bonus stages at the end of levels, all designed to give you extra lives. In my opinion, that's what makes the game so easy. Unless you're a beginner, or you just suck at video games, you won't get a game over, as long as you keep getting extra lives. Now if you're professional speedrunner, you'll be able to beat the game without needing extra lives, but I'm not at that level. lol That being said, I did find a couple of things in this video I didn't know about, so thanks for that. I always assumed there was a way to get to that bottom path in World 2-2, but I could never figure it out. I just assumed that if I tried jumping to it, I'd just fall into the water, and I never thought to check for invisible blocks. Pretty clever by whoever came up with that idea. I didn't know about the screen wrapping glitch on the boss stages. My copy must be the 1.1 version because I recall dying when being pushed off screen. This must've been a case where they hadn't come across that glitch when the game was being tested, and it wasn't until after the game had been released and players discovered it that the developers found out, so they released an updated version that fixed it, since it wasn't intended for players to be able to perform that trick.

The game that introduced Daisy and my first Gameboy game. Good times.

I remember playing Mario Land 2 on my gameboy. It was the best game to play during a road trip.

I played this game with my son all the time- WE LOVE THIS!!! TY!!! He just graduated high school and is inspired to play games online like you! Thanks for the retro good goodness, and inspiring my son to play games professionally! 🎮

I posted this personal story about Super Mario Land on the Patreon poll and figured, what the heck, I'll post it here as well. Many years ago, I had some cousins from out of state that would visit every summer. One of those summers (I forget the year) was my first experience with Super Mario Land as one of them had brought his Game Boy, and I so badly wanted it. That same year, my Dad's parents bought me a Game Boy for Christmas, and I remember them letting me play Tetris on it a few days before Christmas so long as I didn't tell my parents about it. Finally, on my birthday (January 31st), my Mom's parents came to visit that evening and gave me Super Mario Land. I remember bouncing all over the place (literally) hugging and thanking them over and over again.

Many good memories with this game. I beat it on a road trip on my way to my uncle’s.

4:11 You can thank Alexy Patjitnov for that. He said, “if you package Super Mario Land with the Game Boy, it’ll only appeal to boys. But if you package Tetris with the Game Boy, it will appeal to everyone.” There is even going to be a game and watch multiscreen of Tetris; but it ended up getting canceled for fear of ruining the sales of the Game Boy version.

Havent played mario land 1 since i was a little kid. As soon as mario land 2 came out, i never went back to mario land 1. But all the sounds and music is still burned into my memory. Thanks for playing this oldie but goody.

Good stuff, very thorough! Love that you name all the enemies!

I've had the level 1-1 music randomly stuck in my head for years (or, decades at this point?) I could never remember what game it was from, now I know! Thanks for another trip down memory lane!

Watching this for your commentary. Love the pixelated goldens. Have a good weekend.

@46:26 Just want to mention that the glitter like enemies in 4-3 can indeed be killed without a star man. It just takes a fair amount of shots.

My parents bought me this game along with my NES. They thought this game was compatible with the system. I had it in a cupboard for years until one of my buddies let me borrow his Gameboy and I finally got to play it and beat it. Fun game 😊

"Sriracha land seems like a place I would very much like to visit" -Drax the Destroyer

Boy, does this bring back memories. One of the first Game Boy games I ever owned, sometime after I bought my Game Boy (I bought it new, in-box, but it didn't include a game, so the guy at the game store was nice and threw in GB George Foreman's KO Boxing). Good times!

Nice. I beat this game and love everything about from the music to the moments. Its also the first game where Princess Daisy makes her first apperance.

Thorough, well-done explanations. You always deliver; thank you sir.

Love this game! The music is just as classic to me as any of the music in the NES games, and the shooting sections in the submarine and the plane are actually really fun!

Nice video! One of the first games I ever finished back in the day - I was so proud of myself!

Hey brother just letting you know how great this channel is. I am stuck dealing with a hurricane in central Florida and your videos have been keeping me company all night while I was up keeping watch making sure my house didn't flood. Thank you for the work you do.

I loved this game growing up! I tried to beat the game with as many lives left as possible. I think my best was 44 or 45 lives left and no deaths. I would often beat the game and leave it on the end scene just for the music. Thanks for the video!

Man, that sneaky Animaniacs reference at 44:06 really got me

Great work! It was lots of fun to watch this classic get obliterated.

This made my vacation so much better.

I enjoy these classic handheld games greatly. I especially always loved the music in this and Mario Land 2. Gunpei Yokoi was a good dude.

Nice, love that the Mario series is finally getting an episode on this game! Looking back it's insane that after Christmas 89 I had this to play as well as SMB2. Thanks, dad, for showing love through money after the divorce and thank you mom for the lengths you had to go to get SMB2. No she didn't do any "favors" or anything lol, but I've since asked her as an adult how hard it was to get, she said she went to about a dozen stores. Er I mean "thanks Santa!"

I remember being given this game and an OG gameboy when it was new to keep me quiet on a flight. good memories!

As a kid I probably put years of gameplay into this. Thank you for the vid!!!

OMG that ICP reference had me dying 😂😂😂

I love the U Can Beat Video Games doggo so much. What a good boy.

I have this game. I've beat it so many times. Classic game. I got it for christmas back in 1994.

Woohoo, love this game - totally would love if you did more Game Boy games!

LOL, the ICP reference made my day

WHOO!!! I love this game, especially the music.

An hour long video on a game that can be beat in like 15min. Guy's thorough.

I know I've said this before, but since the pandemic, your channel and one other have been the best consistent channels to watch

This game isn't really big, but they put a lot of stuff in it. I didn't know all of the bonus rooms. Your style of presenting your videos is very enjoyable. Thank you very much.

"But what if i told you the best way to survive all 12 treacherous levels?" I would say you were a mad man, sir.

Love super mario land! Watching your walk through makes me want to fire up my game boy right now

Saturday mornings turning into Sunday mornings! It doesn't matter, UCBVG is the best when it comes to retro gaming!

An extremely easy way to beat the final boss is to place Mario on the bottom of the screen on the 3rd block from the left and rapidly fire away. You will be close enough to damage the boss with your shots, and you'll also destroy any incoming shots as well.

Thanks for playing this game I've been waiting for this moment.

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR AWESOME VIDEO. 😅

I used to beat the game a million times. I also like how the ROM hack was given a colorized treatment. Cannot wait to see u do Mario Land 2

You pump these out really fast. They look quite time consuming to make, its impressive.

Super Mario World No Way!! This Guy is Really Something Else

Hi, @UCanBeatVideoGames. Love your videos! So many tricks and secrets revealed on these games that I had no clue about. Do you think you could do a guide for Super Mario Land 2? And maybe guides for some Donkey Kong games, starting with Donkey Kong Land for the Game Boy? That was the first DK game I ever played as a kid 😁

Another great one and among the pioneers at that. Thanks for sharing. Btw I think the glitter things at 4-3 are "killable" if you spam shots at them. GGs

Hopefully, you'll still are going to do this type of content because I fall asleep to it. This is my first video that I'm watching of yours. My nostalgia is responsible for this.

I remember as a kid there was ONE warp pipe that was on the top of the egypt pyramid stage that was unreachable. I was mad so i just jumped everywhere and found the secret lift as a kid. Loved this game!

The first game I have ever beaten. 1992 on my own Game Boy. I was 5 years old.

The screen with the 3 Pionpis is a fantastic way to rack up an obscene amount of points. Edit: The Shikako enemies (flying glittery box-like enemies in the Sky Pop level) take about 10-20 hits to beat. They're not invincible.

Wow does this bring back memories of sitting in the back seat of a car playing this as a child... haha!

Amazing video bro!!! You've done perfect job!!!

I'd like to see a video on Super Mario Land 2! good stuff as always!

The gameboy game that started it all for me ahh such fond memories, your awesome^^

I was 7 years old and just before we set out on our family road trip my parents had a gift for me: my first gameboy with mario land. thank you mom and dad. thank you nintendo

I loved this game so much...beat it several times!

This guy know stuff that I, as a person who has researched game trivia and hidden secrets for the last 15 years, and he has me beat, i didn't know about the screen wrapping mostly!! 🤣

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo classic. SUCH a memorable time in my life in 6th grade…

Love the supa balls reference lol

Recall me memories thank you!

Ain't no boss to ugly for super balls 😂😂 icp reference! whoop whoop.

Oh how i love that ending theme. I remember killing batteries letting it play as i was never sure how long itd be before i could hear it again. Game was hard.

Oh, a Gameboy game. Sweet. 👍
