Super Mario Bros. 2

I thought the graphics in this one and the overall story and feel for the game were better than the first game as that game had an arcade game look and feel to it while this one to me was in depth. Granted the ending to this one was a bit of a cop out it still provided me a lot of entertainment. The game has Mario and gang in the land of dreams to fight some strange villain that would never be seen again, or at least I do not think he ever appeared in any of the other Mario games. In this one you get to choose your character to tackle each level the players: Toad-the little dude who you constantly rescued in the first game. one of Princess' retainers. strengths-super strong can pull things out of the ground and dig super quickly. weakness-can not jump worth a flip.

Luigi-Mario's green clad brother. was in the first game when you played with two people. strengths-has a great vertical jump. weakness-not as strong as Mario or Toad.

Princess Toadstool-the princess that causes you headache after headache in the rest of the series, later becomes a Peach. strengths-when jumping has the ability to stay afloat in the air of a bit. weakness-not the highest jumper and she is the weakest character.

Mario-the hero of game most of the time. strength and weakness- really none of either, kind of an average joe.

Yes, this game progresses through levels, no fireballs in this one, you perform your attack by picking enemies or objects up and hurling them at other enemies. You fight an impressive array of villains in this one and you go through many landscapes including rather fun digging scenes in the desert. Not all is perfect though as the game sure could have used some swimming levels like in the first game. Still, for the most part I enjoyed this Mario adventure quite a lot.

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.

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!

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!
