I'm not sure why, but everybody seems to not like this game... I think it was a good installment for the mario series. The different characters you could use, and their different abilities gave you the ability to be strategic in your decision of who to be on each level. Is it maybe because it was a different game in Japan? What do you think?

It just doesn't play like any other Mario game. It's very obvious it's a different game with Mario sprites because it just doesn't "feel" right. I would probably like it better if they didn't try to slap a Mario title on it, because it's one of the NES's better platformers, just not one of the better Mario titles.

Of course the whole platform was different but it was a great installment in the series. I enjoyed it alot. It may be a big change from 1 to 2 then 2 to 3 but it all works out
If u mess wit the best you go down like the rest and thats why I suggest you dont mess wit this pest

I think what really made me enjoy it the most was that Luigi looked like... Luigi! Poor guy is usually just a recolored sprite of Mario! The different characters are what turned me onto it, and sometimes feel left out in the cold about liking it. Glad to hear you feel the same Notonate!

it's one of my more liked of the series as well, it's just something different with familiar faces. it's a great game all around. The fact that it plays differently is no reason to not like it.

I still like SMB2 very much.
The possibility to switch between 4 characters was a good feature.
What I didn't like was Luigi's jumping style. But I liked the Princess. :)

I like it too, i think it's one of the best ones, the control is so cool,picking up stuff and throwing it around,the bonus levels with the quick thinking parts.The eggs killing the bosses,funny game,great graphix,mega cool to choose out of 4 characters indeed.
My NES collection so far...

I understand your point.
But they had to bring out something to make money. :wink:
Instead of programming a completely new game, using another one was faster and cheaper.
And, as you say, it's a good game, so I don't think it's so bad.
I like "our" SMB2 better than the Japanese SMB2, i.e. the socalled "Lost Levels", which you can find on the Super Mario Collection.

I like SMB2, I a lot as a kid. I remember sometimes I'd go all the way to Wart just to hear the music. It was that good.

SMB2 used to be my favorite of the three for NES. I love being able to be a different character with different powers. I always get hooked on those kind of games. Nowadays I like the first one the most. But SMB2 certainly holds a place in my heart. I think the warps in that game are great. Like when you use princess to fly over that gap to fight fry guy.

The game was good and all but I think ppl hated the fact that it was a bleak and point-less storyline, like there was no storyline invovling Bowser and ppl did not like how it went off track from Bowser to some Dream Killing frog thingy. Thats just my reason, I liked how Luigie could jump really far, I liked the power jump too

I don't know. I think basically what I've noticed is that when I was younger and SMB 2 came out, everybody loved it! I mean, everyone was playing it. It was an awesome game that just got played ALL THE TIME! Now when people are posting about "what's the worst Mario game," that one seems to pop up everywhere. What I don't get, is that it used to be heralded, and now it seems to have lost it's charm with what looks to be the majority of people out there. Maybe our town was a little stupid or something, but everyone was about it. When it came out, did you guys like it, or do you remember?

I agree with dwellerofrhymes. When SMB2 was first released we didn't have SMB3. But when SMB3 was released and had a similar style of gameplay to the first SMB it made number 2 stick out like a sore thumb. I love SMB2 but I can kind of see why people who have played the likes of SMB3 or Mario World first would be a bit shocked when they play 2 and may not give it the chance it deserves

I can't remember owning SMB2 as a child, but I did play it a few times at my grandfather's house. Sadly I didn't have many NES games as a child, in fact, the only one I can remember was SMB/DH, and I played the hell out of it. But I'm making up for the lack then, and the collection is at 86 carts, with 14 expected in the next week

SMB2 is my favoite, man. It has more of an ADVENTURE style and that's what I like. To tell you the trutth the other two aroud it aren't liked TOO much by me.
Maybe it's better if I didn't have an avatar so i didn't have to spend all my time making one...
