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 update, with a small complaint
Reviewed By: AdoniramJ on 04 Jun 2022Version 2.0 fixed all of my issues with the original version of this hack. I also love the optional, new Classic graphics look. It looks clean and amazing.
The only issue I have with this update, and it is indeed minor, is that soft-resetting (by pressing A+B+Start+Select all at once) doesn’t just send you back to the title screen but also resets your game’s entire settings and saved progress. This kind of goes against the point of your personal settings being saved. I know that this is probably just an oversight, and I know that soft-resetting is not necessary to reset your game, but considering this doesn’t happen with other Game Boy games that allow for soft resets, it would be great to have this inconsistency fixed in another update at some point.
