Clean, black and green Hold it in your hand, this Mario Land In 1989, this came down the pipeline Yeah, Mario's back! Out to save that crazy Princess Daisy By now he's sick of this "Princess fakeout" bullsh** Wee, creepy sprite Without Princess Peachy or Luigi But he has superballs Seriously, that's what they're called! The quality dropped off like some kind of Mario knock-off, It clearly showed, man Since when did turtles explode, man? Oh Brent, come on, aren't you a little bit nostalgic for this thing? Remember when it came out? Way back in the day All you had were three-frame LCD games Our journeys had a lack Of all but travel Scrabble packs Yes, NES looked best, but to put this one next game in context: It was a milestone year, handheld gaming started here! The point I'm framing is that the state of portable gaming Was still just larval This was a technical marvel! Yeah, Dave, so was the cotton gin, But I wouldn't take it with me in the car! Well, that doesn't make any sense. Neither does this game! Maybe But Brent! Flying heads! That displays a great imagination Ha, this game came, I presume, from an all-too-magic mushroom! The gameplay was lame Hey! Look, I know how Mario should go, bro This black sheep's really bad! You'll learn one day Oh, thanks, Dad! But how my heart skips For eight bits on holiday car trips Feelings awoken! Dave, buddy, what are you smokin'? (And can I have some?) Love! I'm smoking love! I just think this game has earned a place On the shelf with the good Mario games, Which is all of them, except Sunshine, obviously Are you kidding? Sunshine's like the best one! Wha- You're a wazzock What? You're a pillock Come again? You're a git Say what now? Uh, you're a Son of a taint? Now you're talkin! Key change, mofo? You got it, here we go! Flawed, maybe so Sure, it s**ed a tad, but it's all we had! It's got its' charms and such Alright, maybe this much The look was lame! Oi! It brought Mario to the Gameboy! Such a trendsetter Either way, the sequel was better Super Mario Land! Doo-doo-dum! Was great! (s**s)
