Unlike all previous "Mario" games, Super Mario Land was not created by Shigeru Miyamoto. As a result, almost all of the characters, settings, and items introduced in this game have not reappeared in any subsequent games. Though a popular seller, the game is now generally regarded by many as being inferior to most other side-scrolling Mario games.

One of the most serious flaws in many people's eyes is that, as with all pre-SMW Mario games, there is no way to save the game during gameplay. If the game runs out of power in the middle of the game, the player must restart from the beginning. Also, many believe that a lack of the ability to save the high score to the cartridge hinders the title even more (though it should be noted that nearly every Mario game lacks this feature).
