Also known as: Super Mario USA (JP)
 This game has a prototype article |
Super Mario Bros. 2, as it's known outside of Japan, is actually a Mario-ified version of a completely unrelated game called Doki Doki Panic. Depending on who you ask, Nintendo thought the original version of Super Mario Bros. 2 was either too similar to Super Mario Bros., or too difficult for non-Japanese players to handle.
Fortunately, the game was a smash hit, and is considered by many to be superior to the "real" sequel. Many characters introduced in this game were quickly adopted into the official Mario universe.

Normally, hitting a mini-Fryguy with a mushroom block will cause it to disappear in a puff of smoke. In the PRG0 version, however, if you manage to hit one while your character is shrinking, it will flip upside down and fall off the screen instead. This somehow confuses the game into thinking there are mini-Fryguys left even after the rest are extinguished, which causes the exit door not to appear. This game-breaking bug was fixed in the PRG1 version.

Nintendo made the somewhat odd decision to release Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan, under the somewhat odd title Super Mario USA, more than 4 years after its original US release. Aside from the new title screen, it is identical to the US PRG1 version.
