Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins (formerly formatted as Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins) is a platforming game for the Game Boy first released in 1992 and later for the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console in 2011 and the Nintendo Switch's Game Boy - Nintendo Classics service as one of its launch titles in 2023. The Virtual Console release requires 44 blocks (5.6 MB) of memory to be installed. This sequel to Super Mario Land is the seventh entry in the Super Mario series and also marks the debut of Mario's self-proclaimed arch rival Wario, who would later become a recurring character in the Mario franchise as well as a protagonist in his own series. Like its predecessor, it received a Player's Choice and was produced by the late Gunpei Yokoi rather than the Super Mario franchise creator Shigeru Miyamoto, who was not involved in the development of this game. It is notable for having been the last original side-scrolling Super Mario game until 2006's New Super Mario Bros., 13½ years later. Like Super Mario Land, this game was initially excluded from the main Super Mario series by Nintendo, but went on to be included alongside the more traditional games for the 30th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. and the history pages from the Mario Portal and "The official home for Mario" websites.

DANGER! DANGER!
While I was away crusading against the mystery alien Tatanga in Sarasa Land, an evil creep took over my castle and put the people of Mario Land under his control with a magic spell. The intruder goes by the name of Wario. He has been jealous of my popularity ever since we were boys, and has tried to steal my castle many times. It seems he has succeeded this time. Wario has scattered the 6 Golden Coins from my castle all over Mario Land. These Golden Coins are guarded by those under Wario's spell. Without these coins, we can't get into the castle to deal with Wario.
IT'S TIME TO SET OUT ON OUR MISSION!!
★The 6 Golden Coins are the coins needed to open the gate of Mario's castle.
After rescuing Princess Daisy from Tatanga in Sarasaland, Mario returns to his own private island, appropriately named Mario Land. Upon returning, however, he finds that an old rival of his named Wario had succeeded in taking over his castle and cast an evil spell to brainwash the island's inhabitants into serving him against Mario. The 6 Golden Coins (the keys to Mario's castle) were spread throughout the island, and Mario must retrieve these coins so that he can confront Wario in order to reclaim his castle and restore order to Mario Land.
The game begins with a simple "tutorial" level, Gate Course, to help the player learn the controls of the game. This level can not be replayed. After this is completed, the player must travel through six different "zones" containing a series of levels to collect the coins:
- The Tree Zone: A large tree infested with giant insects, this zone is guarded by the Big Bird.
- The Turtle Zone: Inside of a giant tortoise, this zone is an aquatic environment and is guarded by an octopus located inside of a whale.
- The Macro Zone: A house-like zone that shrinks those who enter it, this zone is guarded by the sewer rat.
- The Pumpkin Zone: Located inside a giant jack-o'-lantern containing graveyards and haunted houses, this zone is guarded by the Wi
