Super Mario Bros. 2 did not begin life as a Super Mario Bros. title; it is a remake of the Japanese Famicom Disk System title Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic. Nintendo's own sequel to Super Mario Bros. was released in Japan as Super Mario Bros. 2 in 1986. However, because of that game's extreme difficulty and its close similarity to the original game, Nintendo decided not to release it in the United States, instead releasing Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic with Mario characters under the title of Super Mario Bros. 2. Japan later saw the modified release under the title of Super Mario USA (スーパーマリオUSA Sūpā Mario Yūesuei^?). Legend of Zelda Famicom Disk The Family Computer Disk System , FDS) was released on February 21, 1986 by Nintendo as a peripheral to their overwhelmingly popular Family Computer (Famicom) console in Japan. ...

Because it was not originally a Mario Bros title, this game differs greatly from the original Super Mario Bros. However, despite its status as the black sheep of the series^[1], many elements from Super Mario Bros. 2 have become part of the Mario series canon and the repertoire of recurring elements. The game also sold well in its own right and was critically acclaimed at the time. Black sheep is a derogatory colloquialism in the English language meaning an outsider or one who is different in a way which others disapprove of. ...

Gameplay

Players choose from four characters each time they start or restart a level: Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Peach. Each has a special ability: Luigi can jump very high, the Princess can remain temporarily suspended in the air as if she were levitating, Toad can pick up things quickly and is very agile, and Mario is well-balanced in all areas. This is the only original Super Mario game where Princess Peach is not the damsel-in-distress along with being the first playable female character in a Mario game. In future Mario games in which multiple characters were playable, with the exception of Mario Golf, Mario would always be the most balanced character. A unique ability in this game is the "power squat"; by holding Down on the control pad for a few seconds, players could build power for higher jumps. One of the game's most defining aspect is the ability to pluck vegetables from the ground to throw at enemies; these vegetables reappear in Super Smash Bros. Melee as one of Peach's special attacks.

Most enemies are defeated by throwing vegetables and other items which the character plucks from the ground. Unlike other Mario games, simply jumping on enemies does not accomplish anything, outside of merely standing on them. In fact jumping on an enemy may do more harm than good, as with certain enemies in other games. However, most enemies may also be picked up and thrown and can be ridden across dangerous terrain. Enemies would reappear even after being killed; however, this gameplay aspect was changed for the Super Mario Advance version. Many enemies which first appeared in this game, such as Shy Guy, would appear in later sequels and related games.

This is the first Mario game to make use of a life meter, which initially has two units but can be extended to four through the collection of Mushrooms. This allows Mario and his friends to be hit more than two times before dying. An element that stayed within the first Super Mario Bros. game is that the character will shrink, or become "small" if they have one life unit remaining. Collecting a heart item will make the character grow, or become "Super" once again.

Many power-ups and items from the original game make appearances here, often serving similar functions in slightly different ways. For example, mushrooms collected add units to the life meter, and coins are used to play the Bonus Chance minigame after each level which grants the player up to five extra lives at a time based on different combinations of symbols.

New power-ups and items also appear in this game. Potions, which are pulled up from the ground like vegetables, can be dropped to make a door appear. This door leads to a non-scrolling, enemy-free, un-lit "mirror-image" version of the current screen (called Sub-Space) in which plants contain coins when uprooted. Coins can only be collected on two visits to Sub-Space per stage, after which plants will simply yield vegetables. For each coin collected while in Sub-Space, the player will get a chance to earn extra lives in the Bonus Chance upon completing each level. In addition, if the door is created in specific areas within a level, the player will discover mushrooms which will add one unit to the player's life meter. Some jars, which are this game's equivalent to the warp pipes in Super Mario Bros., also become "warp zones" in Sub-Space, allowing the player to advance to another world. Players can only enter Sub-Space for a limited amount of time; while in Sub-Space, the game's music changes to a reprise of the original Super Mario Bros. theme.

Another aspect that differentiates this game from other contemporary Mario games is the fact that there is no time limit within the stages. In addition to this, players are allowed to back track. The frame will move left and right to follow the player, unlike this game's predecessor, Super Mario Bros., in which once the player had passed an area of the map, it could not be returned to.

Story

One evening, Mario had a strange dream. He dreamt of a long, long stairway leading up to a door. As soon as the door opened, he was confronted with a world he had never seen before, spreading out as far as his eyes could see. When he strained his ears to listen, he heard a faint voice saying "Welcome to 'Subcon', the land of dreams. We have been cursed by Wart and we are completely under his evil spell. We have been awaiting your arrival. Please defeat Wart and return Subcon to its natural state. The curse Wart has put on you in the real world will not have any effect upon you here. Remember, Wart hates vegetables. Please help us!"

At the same time this was heard, a bolt of lightning flashed before Mario's eyes. Stunned, Mario lost his footing and tumbled upside down. He awoke with a start to find himself sitting up in his bed. To clear his head, Mario talked to Luigi, Toad and the Princess about the strange dream he had. They decide to go to a nearby mountain for a picnic. After arriving at the picnic area and looking at the scenery, they see a small cave nearby. When they enter this cave, to their great surprise, there's a stairway leading up, up and up. It is exactly like the one Mario saw in his dream. They all walk together up the stairs and at the top, find a door just like the one in Mario's dream. When Mario and his friends, in fear, open the door, to their surprise, the world that he saw in his dream spreads out before them!

In the end, Mario and his friends trounce Wart and open a secret room containing one of Subcon's characteristic vases. After pulling a stubborn cork from the mouth of the vase, eight red fairies spring out. The four heroes are lauded for defeating Wart, whose beaten body is passed over the crowd and tossed aside. Immediately after, the screen shows Mario snoring, indicating that the entire adventure had been a dream. Secret passages are sometimes concealed using large items of furniture, such as this reconstruction of the bookcase that covered the entrance to Anne Franks secret room. ...

Setting

The game takes place in a new setting, "Subcon" (derived from Sigmund Freud's "subconscious"). This land is inhabited by many denizens that have since become regulars in the Mario series, such as Shy Guys and Snifits. Pidgit appears on Worlds 1-2, 3-1, and 5-3. Ostro appears on Worlds 3 and 5 (except for 3-1 and 5-3). Cobrat and Pokey both appear on Worlds 2 and 6, and Flurry appears on World 4. This game also introduces many game-exclusive bosses, such as Pink Birdo (boss of Worlds 1-1, 1-2, and 2-1, and an appearing Birdo on World 4-3), Green Birdo (boss of Worlds 5-1, 6-1, 6-2, and 7-1), Red Birdo (boss of Worlds 2-2, 3-1, 3-2, 4-2, 5-2, 5-3, and 6-3 and an appearing Birdo on World 7-2), Mouser (boss of Worlds 1 and 3), Fryguy (boss of World 4), Clawgrip (boss of World 5), Tryclyde (boss of Worlds 2 and 6), and most notably Wart (the final boss). The land apparently (in the game) takes its name from the pixie-like inhabitants of this land (also called "Subcon") which have been captured by Wart.

Despite being a new, supposedly unrelated land from a game not initially intended to be a Mario game, Subcon is not all that unlike the Mushroom Kingdom. Instead of brick castles and giant mushrooms, however, Subcon is characterized by palm trees and red-and-white vases dotting the landscape. Though it lacks any underwater stages, Super Mario Bros. 2 introduces other concepts to the series — like grassy platforms on Worlds 1, 3, and 5 complete with waterfalls, desert stages on Worlds 2 and 6 complete with quicksand and ice stages on World 4. Level 3-1 is notable for taking place against an enormous waterfall which the heroes must ascend.

Super Mario Bros. 2 consists of seven "worlds", each one containing three stages except for the last, which only has two. Levels progress in a linear fashion, though the ability to backtrack (as mentioned above) plays a big part in some stages, including vertically-scrolling areas. Thus, many levels have sequences involving climbing or descending long distances, and the final level in particular is a large and maze-like fortress, in contrast to the linear Castles in Super Mario Bros. In computer and video games, a level (sometimes called a stage, course, round, world, map or landscape) is a separate area in a games virtual world, in modern games typically representing a specific location such as a building or a city. ...

This land has never made an appearance since Super Mario Bros. 2, but several enemies appear in other games, such as Birdos and Pidgits. The most recent reference to Subcon was the Super Smash Bros.

Development

The reason that the Japanese and English versions of Super Mario Bros. 2 are so unusual is that it was created by making small changes to a Japanese game called Dream Factory: Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic. Various Nintendo of America employees personally disliked the original Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2, which they found to be frustratingly difficult. Believing such a game would likely sell poorly in the United States, they wanted to release a different sequel they thought would be friendlier to English audiences.^{[citation needed]} Although Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic was originally set in a storybook and had an Arabian theme completely unrelated to Mario, it was modified to use sprites and music that would fit with the series. In computer graphics, a sprite (also known by other names; see Synonyms below) is a two-dimensional/three-dimensional image or animation that is integrated into a larger scene. ...

The NTSC/PAL version of Super Mario Bros. 2 was eventually released in Japan for the Nintendo Family Computer under the name Super Mario USA. It was also released as part of Super Mario All-Stars(called Super Mario Collection in Japan). â€œNESâ€ redirects here. ...

Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic comparison

Most of the other differences between Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2 are small graphical changes, such as animation being added to the POW blocks, bomb fuses, cherries, and vegetables for the localized version, mushrooms replacing hearts as health boosters, and the characters shrinking when reduced to only one unit of health. The save feature was also taken out of the NES version of Super Mario Bros. 2, due to the limitations of the NES compared to the Famicom Disk System (battery-backup was also very expensive). It was restored in the Super Mario Collection/Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 2.

Super Mario All-Stars

Super Mario Bros. 2 received a graphical, audio, and gameplay upgrade which in Japan is known as Super Mario Collection on the Super NES and the Super Famicom. In the NES version, in the case of losing the last life, the player can only continue twice. In the Super NES/Super Famicom version, a player can continue any number of times, because it was possible to continue from a saved game. In Super Mario All-Stars, the screen splits into two after the Title Screen, Player Select Screen, Bonus Chance Screen, and WARP WORLD 4/5/6/7 Screen. As for that slot-machine type game, the icons are bigger in the Super NES/Super Famicom version. The player can get up to 10 extra lives in the Super NES version of Super Mario Bros. 2, compared to getting up to 5 extra lives in the NES/Famicom version. In the NES/Famicom version of Super Mario Bros. 2, the player can select a character and must play as that character until the end of that level. In the Super NES/Super Famicom version, the player can select a character at the beginning of each level and after losing a life. When you warp to another world, in the NES/Famicom version, the screen changes abruptly (due to graphical restrictions), but in Super Mario All-Stars, the door to exit Subspace disappears and the screen blurs, fades to the next screen, and then refocuses.

Super Mario Bros. 2 received another enhanced remake as Super Mario Advance, the first Super Mario title for the Game Boy Advance, which also contained a remake of Mario Bros. It included several graphic and sound enhancements in the form of enlarged sprites, multiple hit combos, and digital voice acting. Two notable additions are the new character, Robirdo, a robotic Birdo who acts as the boss of the third world, and the Yoshi Challenge, which encourages players to revisit stages and search for Yoshi eggs.

Nintendo's decision to choose it as the Game Boy Advance launch game was seen by some as misguided; GameSpot in particular thought that Super Mario Bros. 3 or Super Mario World would have been a far better choice for a launch title considering their popularity.^[2] (Both of those titles would eventually be remade as part of the Advance series.) However, IGN praised the choice, calling it "one of the most polished and creative platformers of the era." ^[3] Nonetheless, it was a best-selling launch game, showing that the game still appealed to Nintendo fans. Recently, the game has become part of the Player's Choice lineup for Game Boy Advance as one of the system's first 3 Player's Choice games (along with Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Super Mario Advance 3).

Reception

Upon release, the game was very highly successful, and currently stands as the third highest selling game ever released on the Nintendo Entertainment System, with over 10 million copies sold. Only the original Super Mario Bros, at 40 million, and Super Mario Brothers 3, at 18 million, sold more on the original NES.

Impact on popular culture

The game is highly unusual in the Mario canon, mostly because of its roots as a separately released non-Mario title. Because it differed so much in the game mechanics and overall feel of the Mario series, some gamers and professional critics have come to regard SMB2 as the "black sheep" of the three Super Mario Bros. games^[4] Image File history File links Screenshot of the Mushroom Kingdom II level in Super Smash Bros. ...
