Super Mafia Land–Someone’s Probably Gonna Get Whacked For This

I don’t know if it’s going to be Nintendo or the Gottis that land on these guys first, but going out to Armor Games is going to show you a reason that someone is going to be sleeping with the fishes.

It’s called Super Mafia Land, and it’s almost a frame-for-frame knockoff of Super Mario Brothers 2.  Call it an homage if you like, but the key thing is that they took it apart pretty nicely and repackaged it.  Basically, it’s the exact same game, only with different characters.  And not even that many different characters, either—I saw Shyguys and Phantos and Birdos running around shooting eggs at me and stuff.  The gameplay is even identical—where you pull vegetables and such out of the ground and throw them at the various monsters.  The only significant difference is we’re not playing with Toad and Luigi any more.  Now it’s Bruno and Giuseppe.

If you’ve been missing Super Mario Brothers 2, and you don’t want to drag your eight-bit Nintendo out of the basement and hook it back up, then Super Mafia Land is just the game for you.
