– GAME PATCH(ES) –

Super Mario Land DX
Released By: toruzz
Patch Version: 2.0

The game is modified with the Super Mario Land DX hack. This hack turns Super Mario Land for the Nintendo Game Boy (GB) into a Game Boy Color game by adding color and (if selected) changing the graphics to a modern style. It also adds (among other things) Luigi – who comes with his own set of physics. The hack can be downloaded from ROMhacking.net at – [https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/4477/].
