Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic (translated: "Dream Factory: Heart Pounding Panic") is a Japan-only Nintendo Entertainment System video game developed and published made by Nintendo for the Famicom Disk System. It was later released outside of Japan in an altered format under the name Super Mario Bros. 2. Graphical changes were made for certain enemies and characters, making them more appropriate for the Super Mario Bros. theme. Additionally, the albino Mouser boss, perceived as too difficult for American gamers, was replaced with the Clawgrip boss. This change was in tune with the decision to release the edited Doki Doki Panic in place of the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2, which Nintendo of Japan feared was too advanced for European and American gamers.

Shigeru Miyamoto was more involved with the development of Doki Doki Panic than he was in the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2. Many of the game's enemies have become generic Mario enemies, though they were not intended to be that at the time of their creation. This includes Shy Guys, Bob-ombs, Birdos, Pokeys and many more. Of particular note is how Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool's skills and attacks have been shaped by the skills of the characters they replaced.
