* SerendipityWritesThePlot: The archaic CPU and blurry, low-resolution monochromatic screen of the UsefulNotes/GameBoy were ill-suited to the fast-paced precision platforming that made the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series famous. After two [[VideoGame/SuperMarioLand valiant]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioLand2SixGoldenCoins attempts]] to rework the ''Mario'' formula for the Game Boy, Nintendo R&D1 gave the ''Wario Land'' a slower pace and gameplay based more on exploration than precision platforming to work within the Game Boy's limitations.
