Super Mario Bros. 2

The reason why this gameplay is so different from all the other Mario games is that it never was meant to be a Mario game. They didn't ship the Japanese version of SMB2 into the United States because people complained that it was too hard. Eventually they decided release a sequel in the United States but did it in a very cheap fashion. They took a totally different game that never was released in the US and altered the appearances of the characters and some of the objects so they could release it as a Super Mario game.

The game that was turned into SMB2 in the US was actually about a family who stepped into the world of a strange book to find the two missing younger children.

This was mario's 3rd game. This was called Super Mario Bros 2. There is another game that is called Super Mario Bros 2 as that one is called Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels. I give super mario bros 2 10 out of 10.

The American SMB 2 is without a doubt the least popular Mario game, probably because the game-play is so different. The Japanese SMB 2 was not released in America because Nintendo was afraid it wouldn't sell well due to its high difficulty level and strong similarities to SMB 1. It was finally released in America as "Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels" as a part of the Super Mario All Stars game for Super Nintendo.

I'm in the minority but I like this Mario 2 better than the lost levels. I will admit it's disappointing not to have fire power, but all in all I think it's loads of fun. In my opinion, it's quite refreshing to play a Mario game that's so different. You don't have to save Princess Toadstool from Bowser, and you can actually play as Toad or the Princess instead of Mario or Luigi. All characters have their strengths and weaknesses. Mario is the most balanced character, with decent strength and jumping ability. The Princess is the weakest physically, so it takes her the longest to lift objects. However, she has the ability to fly for a few seconds at a time, which can really come in handy. Toad is the strongest, but he can't jump very high. Luigi is the best jumper, but he's not as strong as Mario or Toad.

This time, you have to save the people of Sub Con who have been imprisoned by the evil King Wart. Other bosses include Mouser (a rat who throws bombs), a three-headed snake, a crab that throws rocks, and fryguy, a ball of flame that spits fire. I would really like to see another Mario Bros. game with these characters in the future, but it seems unlikely because Bowser and the usual bad guys are so much more popular. The only bad guys from this game that crossed over into other Mario games are Shy Guys and the bo-bombs.

Is this the best Mario Bros. game? No. But it's certainly worth playing.

Frankly it isn't. This game is good, but it's not up to the first game's (or any other SMB games standards) play whatsoever. Instead of stomping your enemies, you had to throw stuff at them, and instead of Bowser as the vilian, it's this fat ugly toad named Wart. The good feature of this game is that you can play as Princess Toadstool, and Toad instead of playing as just Mario, and Luigi. I'm not saying that this is a bad game, I'm just saying that this game doesn't measure up to the first game. The true sequel which was only released in Japan should've been released to the U.S. instead of this game. But still, it's worth a play. I'll give this game a 7/10.
