THANK YO MARIO! OH DAISY! - wait a sec... spelling mistake in Super Mario Land?

[c0ldb33r]

I was playing Super Mario Land tonight and found a spelling mistake that I never noticed before. I snapped a pic of the game after I beat the first boss:



Thank yo mario? After the 2nd, 3rd and 4th bosses it said "thank you mario". Does anyone else's copy do this?

Also... worst Mario last boss ever:

[Ed Oscuro]

Spelling mistake in a Japanese video game translated to Inglez? Oh you!

Anyway, this sounds correct.

Not a tough game, is it? I beat it some time ago, twice through maybe (if it has a loop, I did it).

I've played through the U.S. and Japanese releases (which are exactly the same if I recall) and never had that spelling error happen.

Speaking of SML I did score 999,999 a few months ago, finally:

I remember when the Gameboy first came out and, of course, I had to have the latest Mario game. I have played through it many times since then and that is something I am pretty sure I would have noticed, but I could be wrong. I'll have to pull out my copy and see if I can replicate the missing letter.

Just played through world one on my copy on my GB, the U displays properly after rescuing the first "Daisy".

Oh, what are you playing that on there, an actual cart or emulation? That shouldn't matter, though, I just played world 1 on emulation too and it was the same, also correct. Great game, it was one of the games I got with my Game Boy... sure it's pretty easy now, but when I first got it it was tough enough. 12 levels with no saving? That was a challenge. Most all the games I was playing on PC had saving... still though, it was great.

It still is great, actually. Sure everything is small, but it uses the small size for large, interesting level layouts. Later platformers like Mario Land 2 or the Wario Land games use huge sprites, which means less can happen on each screen. I do like Wario Land best overall, large sprite and all, but the small sprites definitely have some good points as well...

I've had the missing "U" on my copy as well. It seems to happen randomly, so it's probably just a glitch.

As for Tatanga being a lame final boss... sure, he's lame now, but when I was ten years old, and I finally beat that stupid cloud boss, the music suddenly took a dramatic turn when this giant alien ship appeared, it was like the most epic thing ever!
