the REAL Super Mario Brothers 2

this might of been discussed before, but as you might know the SMB2 you know now (the one released as the origanal Super Mario Advanced) was really a port of a japeneese game with Mario charecters added there was a REAL SMB2 but it has never come to the states because it was on a disc instead of cartridge well now we have the GC and the DS! I can't see why they wont release it! or maybe the new SMB for DS was the origanal SMB2
we shall wait and see!

Interesting, I didnt know that.

where did you want it moved to?


but yeah... I knew about this. It was pretty crazy to see the similarities.
but hey..... SMB 2 was definitely a fun game.

†B†V† :hat

I guess it would fit better under the NES SNES topic because after all the origanal was a straight forward NES game

and yeah the origanal SMB 2 did rock, but according to the Secrets of Super Mario World that the real SMB2 had better graphics, better production values and more worlds then the origanal SMB so let me add this up, a game simillar to the original but with better graphics and the classic blocks instead of plucking vegetables!!!!!! come on yo really can't call yourself a Mario fan if that doesnt get your blood pumpin'!

let's break it down shall we?

1986- Super Mario Bros. 2 (Famicom Disk)....was not released in the USA due to the fact it was considered too hard and it was the same style of gameplay for American audiences

1987 = Doki Doki Panic (Famicom Disk) Cute little story based on Arabic fairy tale, based on a Fuji TV Anime...which was the bases of our USA/European Super Mario Bros. 2.....four characters...Papa...Mama....Boy...Girl.....which were turned into these....Papa= Mario, Mama= Luigi, Boy= Toad, and Girl= Princess Toadstool/Peach

1988 - Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES USA)- Mario Madness takes North America and Europe by storm...

1992- Super Mario USA (Japanese Famicom)- Japan was pretty much jealous that USA recieved an entirely new Mario game, so by demand they wanted a port of this game for their Famicom...under the re-release name "Super Mario USA!"

1993- Super Mario All-Stars/Super Mario Collection (SNES USA/Super Famicom JPN)- Nintendo finally reveals truth behind Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. "THE LOST LEVELS"...this was the first time North America and Europe was finally able to play the lost mario game for the first time...

1999- Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (GameBoy Color)- Re-release of the 1985 Classic, with a bonus hidden feature of unlocking "Super Mario Bros. For Super Players"- Which in reality was a port of "Super Mario Bros. The Losts Levels" aka the REAL "Super Mario Bros. 2"

2001- Super Mario Advance- Super Mario Bros. 2 (GBA)- Another re-release/port of the Super NES/SFC version of Super Mario 2 from Super Mario All-Stars/Collection. This edition added a few minor features....yet the Japanese version calls it "SUPER MARIO USA" still.

2004- Famicom Mini Series Vol. 21- Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japanese Import) (GBA)- yet another re-re-release During the 20th Anniversary of the Famicom/NES, Nintendo has already re-released the Famicom Disk series on GBA cartridge format, which you can find for about $20, yet since most of these games are limited edition...good luck trying to snag one

we'll also have to be careful with the acronyms.... SMB = super Monkey Ball now as well :lol

†B†V† :hat

ok I always thought the Lost Levels were levels cut from the American import, great now I really really wish they would release it in the next classic Nes compliation!
I used to have both Allstars and SMB Delux but I lost both

the actual super mario bros 2 is really hard. that game is still tough for me.

indeed, SMB2 was very difficult :-X

It's actually one of my favorite mario games, because the tougher, the better the game. They weren't kidding when the subtitle says "For Super Players". Yet I like how Mario and Luigi were finally seperated from Super Mario 1 by giving Luigi better jumping abilities and Mario quicker speed
