Aw man But Marioland 1 is perfect as it is...I LOVE the fact that the game's physics are ridiculous.
If you need a fanboy explanation - it's Sasarasa Land and it's very low elevation (and very close to sea level - therefore an increase in air pressure) therefore Mario tires out more easily and doesn't sail through the air like he does in the Mushroom Kingdom because the barometric pressure gets to him and he just sinks like a sack of rocks. That's also why Princess Daisy is so goddamn weird. Because she lives really close to the water. There. u_u;
That's not to say though that I wouldn't mind a remake of the game with contemporary Mario physics, where it's like you think it and Mario does it on screen
