For this episode, everyone chose a level from Super Mario Land 2 to discuss. The prompt was vague: find some way to express the theme of the level, whatever that means. You'll hear a detailed look at each level, and each person brings a unique take on how to discuss level design.

For reference, you can view the Super Mario Land 2 level maps on VGMaps.com.

Game(s) discussed:

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
