- Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins is the full title of this game (see this screenshot). Super Mario Land 2 is just a shortened form, so Super Mario Land 2 should redirect to Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, not vice versa. Jason One 00:54, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- What is the more common name in English? Would you talk about "Super Mario Land 2" or would you have to refer to "Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins" ? -- ALoan (Talk) 15:36, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I have no objection to such a move, but are articles like these really necessary? Geesh. —ExplorerCDT 15:25, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Agree with ExplorerCDT that the article is a bit silly, but I believe it is common to skip subtitles in books, for example, where their omission will not create ambiguity. —Tkinias 00:41, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I reworked this article and marked it as a stub. I also commented out the second screenshot, as this article is too small to hold two screens right now. --Pagrashtak 21:31, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
Fire Flower
[edit]When Mario gets a Fire Flower, what's that little thing on his hat for? --Plainnym 18:22, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'd assume it's just a decoration. Contrast with the original NES SMBs where Mario changes palatte. On a Gameboy this is not possible, so they just added a hat thing. Or so it would seem to me. OmnipotentEntity 18:25, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Yep. You're right. Cfive 19:48, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's a feather, according to the official artwork. It looks like the one collected in SMW, and yes, it's there to show that you are Fiery without changing your colour scheme. (Fryguy64 15:18, 4 June 2007 (UTC))
Oh, yeah. And after you beat Wario and he stops crying, what's that thing he throws at you? --Plainnym 15:01, 26 June 2006 (UTC) I asked myself what's that thing too... without coming to an answer though.. 83.76.174.222 22:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- I always thought it was his hat, as he seemed to lose it when he shrank down to tiny size. It sure was hard to tell, though.
- Looked to me at the time like his shoe. But could have been his hat. I don't know, it's hard to tell! Makron1n 00:14, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
- It's definitely not his hat. It's at a bit of a weird angle, but I'm pretty certain it's supposed to be one of his curly shoes. (Fryguy64 15:18, 4 June 2007 (UTC))
Its Marios bunny flying power methinks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.169.61.85 (talk) 17:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Second External Stage
[edit]I'm not sure if you want to keep the edit I just did, as it is mostly speculation. I'm just wondering if you agree with the purpose for this stage, because other than those explanations, I've got nothing.--Esuriat Corinths 00:40, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
"Thank you, Mario, your quest is over"???
[edit]When you beat Wario and before the credits come, you get the above message. But who was congratulating Mario? Why would Mario be congratulated if he just wanted his island back? --Plainnym 15:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- More than likely just a mistake/oversight. Either that, or the wording on that screen was changed for the western release and lost in translation. Makron1n 00:12, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
I added more to the main page..
[edit]I didn't like that SML1 had a bigger page than this game so I fleshed it out some more. I hope you all like it.--Iamstillhiro1112 15:37, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Macro/Micro Zone
[edit]Someone added a note that Macro Zone may be a misspelling of "Micro Zone". However, the original name is just as valid, as everything in the area is very big compared to Mario, hence macro. It's all just speculation, so until there is some documented proof that it's a typo, it's better to leave it out. -Jacquismo 23:28, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- That logic makes sense, it being a typo. But unfortunately it is just original research without a resource.--Iamstillhiro1112 14:47, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
The zone is "macro", why should it be a typo? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.64.122.43 (talk) 12:43, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
N&B
[edit]N&B was a brand of building blocks sold by Nintendo when they were a toy manufacturer. I took out the reference to Bulletproof Software as it was a little nonsensical. I shall put up a source for that later, as I do not have access to my Japanese sources at the moment. (Fryguy64 15:27, 4 June 2007 (UTC))
Fair use rationale for Image:Super Mario Land 2 box art.jpg
[edit]Image:Super Mario Land 2 box art.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

How come there is no Legacy Section for this game?
[edit]The Pumpkin Goombas of the Halloween Sections are in Super Mario Galaxy in the Galaxy with that HUGE Mansion. The name escapes me at the moment. (Angry Sun)
Colour when played on a GBC
[edit]I had this game, and I distinctly remember it having slight colour to it when played on a Game Boy Colour. I'm not sure how that was possible, but I'm sure it happened! Please tell me I'm not going mad, and if I'm right shouldn't this be added to the article? 84.69.211.195 (talk) 21:57, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
ALL GBC games had a colour tint when played on GBC, you could even select the colours to play in when GAME BOY showed up on the screen —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.7.253 (talk) 19:18, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
"Hired Tatanga to kidnap Daisy and distract Mario."
[edit]WHERE IS THIS EVER SAID?! This isn't in any box or manual I ever saw. We need a source, otherwise it's fan-fluff. 208.101.151.88 (talk) 00:40, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
Metroid II Engine?
[edit]I can't find any sources to verify this, but it appears that Super Mario Land 2 uses the same engine as Metroid II. The physics seem very similar, and the HUD along the bottom and pause screens are identical. The same goes for Wario Land: SML3. Has anyone ever come across this? 98.225.137.20 (talk) 13:20, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
