How Super Mario Land 2 Handles Sprites | Game Boy Explained
90The Game Boy is a fascinating little system with some unique and interesting limitations on how it handles sprites. Super Mario Land 2 is a great game to show off how these limitations are used, in a very basic way, as it doesn't do much to get around the limitations of the hardware, and it based in solid game design alone in order to make the game enjoyable.
All of my footage captured on real hardware with official cartridges when possible! Typically a Japanese Super Famicom with JP Super Game Boy and and RGB SCART cable going into the OSSC and captured using Elgato HD60 S. Sega Master System footage captured using a JP Sega Mark III with FM Sound Unit and Retroware YPbPr Component cables.
