I am trying my luck once again with Super Mario Land 2 - Six Golden Coins. So far I never managed to beat it. It has savegames, and in theory plenty of opportunity to gain extra lives, but something about the slippery movement of Mario rubs me the wrong way. I like the Wario games much more. And even though I haven’t beaten Sonic on the GameGear either, I came further to the finish line.

Mario is in a jelly level. Coins at the top.

My best run so far was 5 hits to Wario. So roughly half of what I need. If only there were a checkpoint right before Wario! It is soooo tedious to do the previous run. I shouldn’t have cheaped out on the Everdrive. I have the X5 and the X7 has savestates… we also have the original game, but that doesn’t have savestates either. :)

And after 12 tries I managed it in easy mode. I would guess it would take me at least 30 tries on normal mode. But I think this is not worth my time. :)
This was all played on the refurbished red play it loud DMG. So real hardware, but modern screen, as the old display board was corroded away by battery leakage.
