There is now a newer, much more polished color hack available for Super Mario Land compared to this! Check out a link to a video showcasing it here: youtu.be/Fj6QcnYc7kc
Here's a video showing off a fairly simple hack that adds color to the original Super Mario Land for Game Boy, as well as changing the appearance of some graphics--though not perfect and at times a tiny bit glitchy, there's no denying the results are pretty neat, and it might be worth trying it out until a much better hack becomes available, akin to Super Mario Land 2 DX. (Already exists as of the time this description was edited, but at least this video will let you know how the old color hack used to look!)
This hack was made by Spikeman and Drakon.
You can find the patch for this hack at: romhacking.net/hacks/1187
You will also need the 1.1 version of the game to get it working.
