Super Mario Bros. 2

It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.

Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japanese name: Super Mario USA) is the second (third in Japan) game in the Super Mario Bros. series. It originally was for the Nintendo Entertainment System, but was subsequently ported to many other systems. This game has been criticized for being too much a departure from its predecessor, Super Mario Bros..

This is an evil editor editing this to make it stupid! MWAHAHAHAHA! I WILL NOW ERASE EVERYTHING EXCEPT MY OWN WRITING!

Story

In the game, everyone dies and Wart kills you all! Look at the picture. It looks cool huh? It's awesome!

Gameplay

Because the game was a clone of Doki Doki Panic, it had little in common with the original Super Mario Bros. In order to defeat enemies, the player could throw Vegetables at them, or jump on them, grab them and throw them away.

At the beginning of each level, the player could choose between the playable characters: Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool. When entering the next level or losing a life, he could select a different character again.

At the end of most levels of the game, the player fought Birdo. The player had to jump on the eggs that Birdo spat, grab them and throw them back, hitting Birdo three times to gain a crystal which opened the hawkmouth gate at the end of the level. There were several colors of Birdos: pink, which only spat eggs; red, which spat eggs and fireballs; green, which only spat fireballs. For the green Birdos, there were mushroom blocks nearby for the player to use instead.

There were seven worlds in this game. The first six had three levels apiece, and the seventh had two. At the end of each world, the player encountered one of Wart's generals. Mouser was waiting at the end of World 1, Tryclyde in World 2, Mouser again in World 3, Fryguy in World 4, Clawgrip in World 5, Tryclyde again in World 6, and Wart himself at the end of World 7. It should be noted in Super Mario Advance that Mouser did not appear in World 3; the player instead encountered Robirdo.

Trivia

• In the original Doki Doki Panic game, there was a third Mouser instead of the Clawgrip boss.
• The box art for this game changed the emphasis from the original Super Mario Bros. game. In the original game, the words "Mario Bros." were bigger than the word "Super", but with this game, the words "Super Mario" became bigger than the word "Bros.". However, in the title screen of the game itself, the same text is used as the original game.
• This is the first game to have Princess Toadstool and Toad as playable characters.
• Some of the remakes, such as Super Mario Advance, used the name Peach instead of her original English name, Princess Toadstool.
