Super Mario Land 2 has a lot of heart put into it, and for that alone I enjoyed it so much. It's nothing crazy, there are only 6 main worlds, 2 powerups, it's pretty easy and simple to get through, and really short, but I still really enjoyed this one.

I never played the first land game, but I have seen it in action, and what a graphical upgrade. Not only in terms of the looks, but in terms of settings as well. Mario Land 2 has one of, if not the best worlds for a Mario game to this day. A world where you go into a house as a mini Mario, a toy Mario world where you go up it with there being other toys inside as well, along with a water world with a submarine level, with other great choices as well. It's easily my favorite thing from this game.

The game only has 2 powerups with one being the established fire flower, and the other being the new rabbit power up, which lets you float down. I guess you could say it's just a worse tanooki suit, but I think it's used well throughout the game.

Before I go since I don't feel like I have too much to say on the game, I just got a funny question to ask. Where did Mario get a whole castle? How did Wario even get his hands on it. What was Mario doing, going out for a walk or something? It's just so funny, especially since this is Wario's first game which means that he just showed up here with no one knowing him, as an evil big version of Mario... I'm really sitting here thinking about the lore of Mario. I don't know if that's funny or sad.
