Super Mario Bros. 2

That's because is so different, (also cause it was another video game in japan who got modified i've heard, but the landscapes are a lot like mario & the main theme is very italian!)

I think that all marios are amazing, every one was an experience in its time. This has enough Mario elements, it was the real second. (lost levels was just a re-edited Mario 1), also the way u take on the enemies is very fun, nice bosses & killer last boss, very colorfull, naive & funny, i just looooove this game, & it resembles to me a little to MARIO64 in some ways.

The ending of this game justifies every diference u may find with other marios, is unique & it deserves a direct sequel as well!

I first played this game nearly nine years ago at a friend's house. I was familiar with it because of the original, Super Mario Bros. I didn't like as much because instead of stomping on the enemy, you have to throw stuff at them, and because it didn't have Bowser or other favorites. What was good about this game was you got to choose who you got to be. You didn't have to be Mario, you could be Luigi, Toad or the Princess. What really shocks me is the fact this isn't the actual sequel to the first game. The actual Super Mario Bros 2 never left Japan. So Mario and friends were put in an unknown game. Overall, it wasn't that great but still fun to play.

This game was definitely the other side of the Mario coin. A Japanese fantasy adventure reworked as part of the Super Mario series, it's a lot more strange and cultish than its predecessor; if the original was West Side Story, this was The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It takes place in a bizarre pastel world (lime green and turquoise dominate the color palette) taken over by the evil bubble-blowing frog Wart. There are a whole bunch of weird new villains--Shyguys (masked midget ninjas), Birdos (masked hopping birds), Bob-ombs (walking bombs), Porcupos (grumpy porcupines), Triclyde (a three-headed snake), Clawgrip (a giant crab), Ostro (a bow-topped lizard that shoots eggs from his mouth)--that you fight by throwing vegetables, bombs, and various other objects.

Very different, very tricky past a certain level (I could never beat it myself--the quicksand always got me), highly original, and a great deal of fun. I loved the ability to choose between four characters--Mario (normal abilities), Luigi (high jumping power, but don't be distracted by his kicking feet or you'll fall off the cliff), Toad (accelerated speed), or Princess Toadstool (the ability to briefly float in mid-air). All are useful on different levels (Luigi in the aforementioned quicksand especially); I often chose the Princess, because I had a falling-off-cliffs problem and liked to change direction in mid air. A terrific game, topped by a cute twist ending. Just don't expect a direct continuation of the original, since this doesn't follow that formula at all. If you can find a cartridge and a machine to play it in, check it out!

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.

OH HO HO SUPER MARIO BROS 2 BABY!!! GAME OF THE YEAR!
