Description:
Super Mario Land DX is a romhack of the original Super Mario Land for the Game Boy that turns the game into a Game Boy Color game. It adds color and changes the graphics to give the game a modern look.
v2.0 (20/04/2022):
- Framerate issues have been addressed. That includes issues in the original game, especially noticeable in 3-2 (hard mode).
- Mario’s sprites have been revamped. They are mostly the same size as the originals.
- Mario’s relative position when jumping has been fixed. This was responsible for the weird collision issues in v1.0 (yeah, it wasn’t the sprites).
- Luigi has been added. He has slightly different physics.
- Old graphics are now an option. Not all graphics are unchanged, as it mostly affects the sprites, but this should be good enough for people who didn’t like the new ones.
- A shortcut to difficult mode has been added.
- New palette for Superball Mario/Luigi.
- New animation for Super Mario/Luigi when looking up.
- New animation for Super Mario/Luigi when entering a pipe.
- Options menu added to accommodate the new options.
- Battery added to permanently save your options, top score and level selection.
- Every single stage’s colors have been tweaked.
- An incompatibility screen for the original Game Boy has been added.
- Hundreds of minor (and not so minor) changes and fixes.

A great way to celebrate 30 years of the Game Boy!
Reviewed By: ShockwaveS08 on 23 Apr 2019So, imagine my surprise when this ROM hack appeared on the Newest Hacks section of the front-page, and to find out that the author is the same person who did the DX colorization of its sequel, “Six Golden Coins” two years prior!
The Pros: Full, comprehensive colorization of each and every stage in the game, far more than any color-hack before it; it feels like a proper Nintendo product, with all the attention to detail that has been put into this! Even the original black-and-white title screen has been given the same makeover, which so many other hacks simply neglected.
The Cons: None; just download it already!
Final thoughts: Overall, I’m very impressed by toruzz’s dedicated work on breathing new life into these classic games, and look forward to what he may have in store for us in the future. (Here’s hoping for a Wario Land DX hack, to complete the SML trilogy!)
