I liked smb2. I thought it was a fun game but still not as good as 3 IMO.

Well if you want to play the original game that started this SMB2 american game try the Famicom disk system "Doki Doki Panic" Where you have 2 guys and 2 girls to choose from and a intro too! heh heh In japan are super mario bros. 2 is called "Super Mario USA". I guess the reason why part 2 never came out becasue it was probaly thought it was ridiculoisly diffucult. or maybe poision mushrooms didnt sound good. LOL

"Roth" wrote: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? The control is so different. No use of jump and stomp, you are allowed to stand on enemies, not any special suits that I know of. It just didn't have the addicting nature of SMB1 and SMB3. Like someone else said, it may have been a decent game if it wasn't trying to be a mario game because it so obviously is not a traditional mario game.

LOL What really happened, was that the Famicom made a game called "Doki Doki Panic", and at the same time, SMB2 was made. SMB2 was originally the name of the "Lost Levels" at "All Stars" for the SNES. They found this game not too challenging, so they changed the name "Doki Doki Panic" to "Super Mario Bros. 2".
Actually, not all was thinking. Some was plotting, some was planning, and finally the explaining of my plan which I plotted after I thought of it.

I just got into that Lost Levels game on All-Stars recently, and it's not too horribly difficult yet, but I can see how those evil mushrooms would have turned some people off.
I never saw anything too much wrong with SMB 2, it seemed like that was what Nintendo was doing with games at the time in general (Adventure Of Link was quite different from Legend Of Zelda, also).
I just find myself relying on Princess Toadstool too often because of the killer floating technique, and Toad on the levels with lots of coins to pull 'em out of the ground fast, and never using Mario!

I loved SMB 2. It was wierd, quirky, and it just seemed to work with Nintendo characters. Not to mention that it was certainly better than the actual Doki Doki Panic!

Personally I think that SMB3 should have been number 2 and that this game should have just been named SMB: (whatever). Not part of the "trilogy" but a stand alone mario title, sort of like Mario is Missing.

I thought SMB 2 was one of the worst Mario Games ever. I like the lost levels so much more.

Well, I snagged the ROM of Doki Doki Panick! (That's how it's spelled on the ROM name), yesterday, and it's a bad hack--the title screen still says "Super Mario 2," and even though it has the Doki Doki characters, once and awhile during the game play, Mario's, Luigi's, etc., faces will still show up, wearing the Doki character's clothing! Weird.

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. Hey, yeah... I think at the time it came out, people had decided that the spirit of the Super Mario series was to have a completely different style of game engine with each new game while still maintaining addictive, jump-intensive play. Then the third game came out, and they went, "So how come they brought all this stuff from the first game back? Was the second game even supposed to be like that?"

i think the majority or people that don't like SMB 2, don't like it because they played the 1st and 3rd games first. back in the NES days i only had 1 and 3, i didn't even know a 2 existed :P.

Heh, when I played NES, it was usually borrowed from my uncle, and he only had 1 and 2. So 3 was some kind of crazy special game that I could only play at friends' houses for a little while.

This is one of my favorites if the Mario series (with Super Mario World being my most favorite). Like already said, I like the character selection the best.

I see what you mean. The first time I saw the thing was in the SNES game Super Mario Allstars or whatever that big collab was called. It had the Lost Levels, and SMBs 1, 2 and 3. I kept playing 2 thinking "What... the... [explictive]!!!!" and wondering why Mario didn't just look at the vegetable, wonder the same thing, and unload a flurry of fireballs upon all the weird enemies. And no matter how many times I play it over an Emulator, I end up pretty much doing that again. Nonetheless! I have recently aquired an affinity for this game, beaten it, and discovered this: In World 1-2, was carrying around a magic potion and then I found a starman. Once I was invincible, I dropped the potion and entered the door. I noticed that in the "flip-world" my character's flashing was a slow and messed up. I exited out the door before my time ran out and when I returned to the normal area, the music from the magic door was still playing. Not my starman music, not the usual SMB2 music, but the music from the flip-world. It played through the whole level. I just thought that was a cool glitch.
If you think you're right, you're probably wrong. If you think you're wrong, you're being negative. My thoughts are definitive; the universe is frequently wrong.
