Super Mario Land 2 DX
Super Mario Land 2: 6-tsu no Kinka · スーパーマリオランド2 6つの金貨
toruzz's well-known Game Boy Color upgrade of Super Mario Land 2: full colour, less slowdown and Luigi as a playable character.
What it does
Super Mario Land 2 DX, released by toruzz on Christmas Day 2017, turns the monochrome Game Boy game into a Game Boy Color one. Besides the colour palettes, the hack reduces the slowdown of the original and adds Luigi as a playable character, who is more than a palette swap and handles differently from Mario.

- Eye of One's FPGA compatibility patch for version 1.8.1 fixes sprite corruption, invisible enemies and overworld glitches on FPGA-based Game Boy hardware such as the ModRetro Chromatic and some flash carts, without changing gameplay; it hasn't been tested together with the sound patch.
