I love this game. I’m in that weird camp that liked this better than 3 back in the day. But I think it was because of being able to be different characters and they all had different abilities
It’s not what you would have guessed the follow up to SMB would be, but it’s still not a horrible game. Each character having their own abilities is cool, and the final boss fight against wart is better than the final fight against bowser in SMB.
I’ve said it more today than in 30 years, but I love this game. So many good things about the franchise come from this reskinned, mistake of a game that you can’t deny it’s value to the series.
Mario 2 is fine. It's a decent game. Nothing really wrong with it. Good sound and graphics. And it's technically better than Lost Levels, the game it replaced for us dumb Americans. After how groundbreaking Mario 1 is, this was such a departure and more difficult. But going back to it now and it's enjoyable to play for a bit. Also Wart needs to make a comeback.
@mariomaestro summed it up well when he said, "The worst SMB game is still better than most of the best games out there."
It's a solid platformer that introduced some staples of the franchise, but it's just so weird! Perhaps it would have been better if the developers had tried to make it a little more like SMB1 (particularly in how Mario fought enemies) instead of just simply swapping skins from another game.
I owned all 3 SMB games growing up, and this one definitely got the least amount of playtime.
Even playing through it again last year, I just wanted to complete it so I could move on to SMB3.
I give it 3.5 stars (but rounded up to 4).
The worst SMB game is still better than most of the best games out there. Sure, it’s an oddball, but it brought us shy guy, birdo, and Luigi’s famed flutter jump. Being able to choose from 1 of 4 characters, who each had their own strengths, still sets this apart in the Mario universe and was far ahead of its time. Fun, challenging, and weird still makes for a good time.
A very underrated Mario game in my opinion. Although it's not the original Super Mario Bros. 2, but instead a reskin of another game called Toki Tori, (the original Mario 2 was released as "The Lost Levels") this is still a really fun game. It was the first time you could play as Peach or Toad, and each character had a different play style. Definitely worth a look if you've never played it.
Though this game was just another game with a Mario skin thrown over it, Mario Bros 2 gave us character designs that have stuck till this day. Luigi jumps high, Peach can fly (float? glide?), and Birdo exists. Not as good as Mario Bros 1, 3 or Super Mario World, but still very fun and memorable.
You can not compare this to the first or third installments as it’s a completely different type of game. And it’s amazing! I’ve never even played the game as anyone other than Princess Peach as the ability to float got me everytime!
Without this game, we wouldn't have Shy Guys available in games like Mario Kart or Mario Golf. It's fun, but can't compete with the other games in the Super Mario Bros. universe.
