The Story of Super Mario Bros. 2 | Gaming Historian

You will be able to change characters between each level. One tweak that everyone will appreciate is the addition of a run feature. In DreamWorks Thriller Panic, there was no execution function. Now, just like in the original Super Mario Bros., simply. press the B button. You can run in Mario 2, which makes it easier to get through some areas of the game, and another change that makes it more like a Mario game is that you simply lose a bit of health when you're attacked in DreamWorks Thriller. . Panic In Mario 2, if you lose a point of health you will shrink, just like the original game, Nintendo also added a new boss, Clawgrip in World 5, because one of the most difficult boss fights in the original DreamWorks was Fight against a white ratman Those are probably the most significant changes, but there are some small sound effects and visual changes.

Some animations are more progressive, such as grass, cherries, and waterfalls. Several items were replaced with items that fit Mario's worldview. Slot machine games like Mushroom and Turtle Shell have also improved. Overall, the two games are very similar, but Super Mario Bros. 2 feels like a more polished version of the DreamWorks Thriller Panic mod. I kept quiet about Super Mario 2 for several years. At that time, but most players didn't know it. The first official recognition was in the "Mario Mania" guide in 1991. Nintendo vaguely mentioned this modification in an inconspicuous place. In 1993, Nintendo released a Super Famicom Mario game called "Super Mario Collection".

This game included improved versions of the first three generations of Super Mario games. And a game most people have never heard of: Super Mario: The Lost Levels What is "The Lost Levels"? It's Japan's Super Mario Bros. 2. North America and Europe have never seen a game on the Famicom disk system. For many players, it is the first time they are experiencing this game. Players in North America and Europe are just finding out. They never got the original Super Mario Bros. 2. This makes some players think that the American version of Mario 2 is not a real Mario game, but Super Mario Bros. 2 has deeply influenced the entire series and its popularity around the world. over 10 million copies, making it the third best-selling game on the NES.

Several characters who first appeared in Super Mario 2 have become series regulars, including Bomber Hey Ho and Catherine. This is also the first time players can control Chino. Bio and Princess Peach. The game also established the appearance of Mario and Luigi. Luigi finally jumped higher. Super Mario Bros. 2 turned out to be a huge success. In 1992, Nintendo re-released the game in Japan as "Super Mario USA." "Ultimately, it would be a good decision not to bring Super Mario Bros. 2 from Japan to North America and Europe. The difficulty and similarity of the original game to the original game have no value for the emerging

gaming

market.

If you want to stop Playing the original game, you have a few options, of course, you can find it in Super Mario Collection or unlock the hidden items in Super Mario Bros. Deluxe for Game Boy Color However, these versions have a little more gameplay modification. easy. So if you want to challenge the real original game, I recommend using the Virtual Console for Wii or Wii U. As for the American version of Super Mario Bros. 2, I remember playing it as a kid and not realizing the difference. What's different about the previous game? It feels like a Mario game and knowing it's still developed by the Mario team... that makes sense!

Unfortunately, we may never see a DreamWorks Thriller Panic re-release. Fuji TV owns the rights to the game's characters, so if you want to play, you'll first need to get a Famicom disk system. But actually, I think. It's good to play the American version of Super Mario Bros. 2. It's a fun game. This is the Gaming Historian for this episode. Thanks for seeing it!
