Ok, I know this is old news but I still find it interesting. And still not a lot of people know it.

Bassically, SMB 2 on the NES was just an exact remake of the game Doki Doki Panic in Japan. And Nintendo got lazy and just changed the menu screens and character appearences. Here are articles on it. I find it funny how they even have the same manual, including some shots of Doki Doki in the SMB.

Yeah ... everyone knows this already <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">. They just put in the character sprites and made it a Mario game. But you know what? That's still a fun as hell game.

Also, didn't "Dreamfactory" get scrapped?

Personally I hate SMB 2. And yes Crono, I stated its old news. I just was watching the old comercial for Doki Doki today and remembered (on my computer, i dont think its on TV anymore <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">). So I decided to tell anyone who was unaware

How could you hate Mario 2? Seriously. Even the cartoon was mostly based on Mario 2.

I loved that show so much. Except for the live action part.

Does anyone remember that other Nintendo cartoon? It was about this guy, who played far too much NES and like ... he carried around a NES controller and could merge the Game's reality with ours or something. The point is, he could control game elements in the real world. I remember the guy using Off Road a lot. I think he used a power glove too.

"Captain N & the Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3" was the title of the second show.

I don't I ever watched the Captain N one, but I do know of it and have seen a few episodes recently. It was all about Zelda back in the days of the Super Show.

As for Mario 2 being a re-brand. There was still a Mario 2, in NA it's referred to as "The Lost Levels". Personally I love both. I have the carts for 1, 2 and 3 sitting not more than 5 feet above me on my shelf.

Yeah, the original SMB 2 was almost the same as the first, but WAY harder. And was only released in Japan.

ohhhhh so that's why SMB2 is sooo different from the others!! i always wondered why. SMB2 didn't make much sense, i always thought mario had some time to rest and he dreamt that, but still it was weird.

What's really funny is that SMB2 is the best one.

So it's agreed: "Super Mario Brothers 3" is the best Mario game. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
