phart010 | 1,708 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Anyone remember seeing these initials “N&B” in the last stage of Mario zone. I’ve always wondered what this stands for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTone | 988 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 They were toy blocks made by Nintendo, to compete with lego. Just a little nod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,773 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 When that game was new, I thought the levels in that world were some of the coolest level designs I had ever seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's ever a game that needed a remaster, it's this one. What a leap over it's predecessor and really made me feel like the Gameboy could compete with home console gaming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphical difference between Land 1 and 2 almost looks like a leap between generations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br81zad | 629 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 The jumping was a little "floaty" for my taste, but the game was incredible at the time. I loved the block levels and it was neat to see the slight iso perspective used in a gameboy platformer. The Whale level was really neat as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no clue about that and to me it kind of explains why it took so long for there to be a licensed Nintendo LEGO set, even though there were other Nintendo block builder toys. Well, I'm glad the two buried the hatchet (or Nintendo simply swallowed their pride) and we will now see more Nintendo LEGO toys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
