Super Marisa Land is an amusing doujin game starring none other than Marisa. As the name implies, the game imitates Mario to a certain degree, and if you're a hardcore Mario player you're bound to recognize a few familiar elements and sections of the map. Marisa can eat those mushrooms to grow in size of "head proportions," and special mushrooms double her size so that she can shoot fireballs and destroy blocks. The game features many different enemies and no end to levels.

Gameplay

Point items are accumulated in a level through both grabbing boxes and killing enemies. Killing enemies in a combo yields more point items, e.g. 1 for the first, 2 in the second, etc. When 256 point items are accumulated, an extra Marisa is awarded and the counter resets to 0.

No points are earned in-level, but factor instead into the end-of-level score tally as follows:

 Head proportion x 1000 + Point items x 100 + Time x 10 = Stage score

Each stage has a halfway point; if you die after this point, you restart at this point rather than at the beginning.

Head Proportion Mechanics

Similar to the mushroom system of the various Mario games, Marisa can grow between various powers that affects the way she interacts with the stages.

The various levels are:

2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 6 -> 8

 2: You start here at the beginning of each stage, regardless of the previous stage. One
hit at this level and you're dead. 3: Marisa is a little bigger. She can take one hit and shrink down to 2, but aside from
that and the size difference, there is no functional difference. 4: Marisa is the same size as head proportion 3, but is now able to break bricks. 6: Marisa is able to shoot fireballs straight forward. 8: Similar to a star in Mario games, she is invincible. While invincible, Marisa naturally
cannot be hurt, and kills any enemy she touches (which combos for the
duration of her invincibility). She can also destroy any normal block just by walking
through it (note that she can still stand on them). After the invincibility runs out,
however, she returns to the head proportion 4. If you're able to grab more red mushrooms
(see below), the invincibility time stacks (ref: Extra stage 11)

Small (brown) mushrooms increase head proportion by 1, to a limit of 4. Larger (red) mushrooms double Marisa's head proportion to 4, 6, or 8.

If a proportion 6 Marisa is hit by an enemy/projectile, she shrinks to 3; 4 or 3 shrinks to 2; and at 2, dies, as mentioned above.

With Super Marisa Land patch v1.10 and higher, Alice is an available character - but she does play rather differently. For starters, she is limited to proportion 2 (any hit, as well as any mushroom, will kill her). She does get a "thrown" projectile - proportion 6 Marisa.
