- Now it's time for the game that everyone else got. If you ever needed a reason to not eat your vegetables as a kid, you'd probably used this game as an excuse. It's Super Mario Bros. 2 USA!
- Hry
"over 25 years later who the hell remembers Mouser?"
*raises hand*
WrathofHiei I seem to recall Mouser being featured often enough in the first DiC Super Mario Bros. cartoon. He was King Koopa's second in command (that version being a blend of Bower and Wart). I got the impression that at the time he was reasonably popular; if he had been worked into a later game he'd probably be reasonably well known.
Then again I (overall) liked the enemy designs in this game and perhaps because I'm not as good of a player, I found them threatening enough.
WrathofHiei Mouser really needs to reappear as a boss in future Mario games. He was so badass and cool!
WrathofHiei 3434343 2424 ok
WrathofHiei *nearly 30
The only reason I remember Mouser was because of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. I remember in the mid 2000s we had Netflix and I watched it on there since my dad remembered it and he remembered liking it.
"Its like Ganon giving you the Master Sword before Duking it out" Or Majora handing you the Fierce Deities Mask.
Yeah but majora did it for fun
Or porky minch handing out the new years eve before battle
Or like Dr. Wily begging for mercy from Mega Man.............. Wait 🤔....
OR a Meta Knight giving a Kirby a SWORD before an opening battle.😉 How STUPID, right? 😆
a major boss healing you to max before fighting
The hearts aren't random. For every five enemies you kill in the same stage, a heart will appear.
That is if you defeat 5 enemies in a single throw, or with the Superstar, but in the GBA version you only need to defeat 2 enemies in a throw to get a heart or use a shell to knock 1 enemy, or at least a big enemy
So THIS game is why Peach can hover in Super Smash Bros.
Not just that. It's also the source material for the "Vegetable Pull" special moves she's had since Melee.
Found the 10 year old
She can in Super Princess Peach for DS as well, once you get the Floatbrella.
Technically, according to the story, the Dream Machine doesn't belong to Wart. He stole it from... I forget who, but it doesnt wanna work for him, therefore it's working against him
Lol
I actually really like this game...
Agree makes me happy and not sleep.
Joseph Ed Reed He never said it was bad, though?
It’s my favorite of the NES Mario’s. I could never get behind the flow of SMB3 to like it enough (World on the other hand, heck yeah).
Not that I don’t appreciate SMB3 for the huge amount of stuff it added after SMB1!
I like this game too, but I forgot how hard it can be
Doki Doki Panic was originally going to be a Mario game.Nintendo made a deal with Fuji television and changed the characters to mascots of the tv event. Shigeru miyamoto worked more on this game than the original smb 2 "the lost levels". Then Doki Doki Panic was changed back to a Mario game and it became what it was originally supposed to be.
6:14
More like Ganon giving Link a quiver of Silver Arrows
2:15, I just love it when he screams like that.
***** Ah yes. The scene where he picked up that Bob-omb.
+Heath Wilson (Sir Ike, Hero of Crimea) He does scream though?
SquidofBaconator
I'd say it's more of a squeal.
25 years later, Super Mario 3D World brings back the charm Super Mario Bros. 2 gave us, and added cat suits!
I always wanted them to bring Mouser back. He played a big role in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show and if they can keep reusing characters like Birdo then there's no reason why he couldn't make an appearance now and then.
I always liked fry guy too. Characters with shades still cool!
you know i think its about time for Wart to come back as a major boss for the next mario luigi rpg. maybe a story like professor E. Gadd builds a dream machine after the events from Dream Team. he uses mario as a test subject for his machine. things start off smoothly, but some malfunctions start happening and BAM!! BOOM!! CRASH!! the machine gets damaged but something came through from marios dreams. ENTER WART!! the bosses you fight are the ones from this game as well as the baddies.
RIP AlphaDream.
if anyone is curious about the hearts that refill you health meter, if you kill 5 enemies one appears. if you get 5 cherries a star appears for you.
game of the year babyyy! 12 times in a row
From what I played of Japan's mario USA, it's an upgrade of the mario 2 we got. They upgraded our upgraded version
I've heard that in Japan they preferred Mario USA to Mario 2/lost levels and Doki Doki. I'm sure the Doki Doki festival characters were popular there but it's not hard to see why even Japan would prefer to play as Mario with better runs and jumps like the rest of us.
they DID like USA more
lost levels is barely a sequel, it's more an expansion pack
that was really fucking difficult!
I heard Super Mario Bros. 2 just being a sprite swap is just half the story.
Someone told me it was orignally supposed to be a Mario game, but because it was not Mario enough, the sprites got swapped to the new Doki Doki Panic sprites.
Sounds weird, but Super Mario Bros. was very different from Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong too. The same goes for the first 2 Zelda games.
A lot of sequels were very different from the originals back then, unlike today where most of them are pretty much the same thing sadly.
Mario 1 and Mario 2 (Seeing how the original one was transformed into Doki Doki panic, just to be again Mario in the end)
Zelda 1 and Zelda 2, (From Adventure to an Action-Platformer)
Castlevania 1 and 2 (From Platformer to what's known as Metroidvania)
Final Fantasy I and II (Still RPG, but a very different one)
Don Doko Don 1 and 2 (From Arcade to Platformer)
Donkey Kong 1 and Jr and 3 (Each one is totally different)
ToeJam & Earl 1 and Panic in Funkotron (From somewhat Roguelike to Platformer)
And many, many more.
***** I forgot where I heard it.
According to DYKG, they wanted to expand the horizontal scrolling from SMB into vertical, so a tech demo was made. At that time, SMBLL was released in Japan and N had a deal with Fuji TV, then the demo turned from a Mario project into DDP. This adds up to the well known story of Lost levels being too hard and all that.
Supposedly, the game was meant to be entirely vertical, but Miyamoto said this wouldn't offer very much gameplay-wise, therefore it should have horizontal sections as well.
This game's legacy in SM3DW and Captain Toad is obvious, a reason to add more love for the game.
STILL THE KING!!!
Still the king after all these years!
the gba version of this game was one of my first videogames and i still hold it dear.
I really love this game, although i play a lot with luigi (he became since my favourite character of the series)
I grew up with the NES version, and I had a lot of fun with Luigi, myself. despite what Johnny says, that flutter jump is actually quite useful
Fun fact: Doki Doki Panic was originally meant to be Mario 2, but was changed earlier in development due to an agreement with Fuji TV (Gods of Anime).
Like a typical villain, Wart was overconfident. He didn't think anyone could challenge him, so he kept the Dream Machine in his throne room for easy access and ordering around. He also likely thought he had the Dream Machine under his complete control and didn't anticipate it helping Mario while Wart was right there.
My favorite Mario game on the NES. Throwing dudes into dudes is infinitely more satisfying to me than just landing on them. I also like Yoshi's Island more than Mario World, so maybe I'm a maniac who enjoys launching objects at shy guys, who knows
Though I like the GBA Remake more to be honest, I'd have to agree. I just don't get why this game is the Black Sheep of the Mario series, especially since Nintendo has referenced this game in some way or another ever since then.
I guess it's because some Mario fans feel...Cheated?...By the (now-ubiquitous) fact that the game is a rom hack of Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic.
But guess what? That game was originally a "Mario-y" game to begin with, so, when NOA localized it into Super Mario Bros. 2, they more-or-less brought it back to the original state!
Through Super Mario Advance 2 (Super Mario World) has a special place in my heart, I do have to say, compared to Yoshi's Island, it does feel a tad...Bare...
Power B well to be fair, Mario 2 is a Mario game where jumping on enemies doesn't kill them. I'd say the black sheep thing is a little warrented.
SolidSnake684 Good point. But still, Isn't it funny that SMB2 has been more-or-less forgotten about by all but it's creator?
Power B yeah, its weird, all these games have shy guys and what not but no one really talks about this game like the other ones. But hey, were talkin about, so thats somethin
I don't blame u. Yoshi's Island is a _damn_ good game. Too bad it's by far the BEST on in the _entire_ series
SUPER MARIO BROS 2 BAYBEE!!! THE KING IS BACK ! IT IS DA BEST!!!!!
who else laughs hard at the ba bomb moments?
Me.
Agent Clank thank you
It is funny but I like the fry guy thing more.
Brandon Smith its funny too
ChipperRP me
5:19 Lol never gets old
The hearts aren't actually random. They spawn whenever a certain amount of enemies are killed.
8 enemies to be exact 😊
+E. J. Thomas
2 in a row in Advance
I believe it's 5 in the Mario All Stars version.
You know Bowser does have an axe on his bridge and take it he dies so Wort is not the only one.
*Fat Frog
Also, the floor he could stomp through, the mechakoopas that can be thrown at him, the bombs that he can be thrown at, targets that destroy his hot tub, large glowing switches that act like the axe, _glass panels_ he could stomp through, giant POW blocks, a hat the can be commandeered to beat him up, leaving behind a machine that can be used to undo his thefts across time, a down special that leaves him open for punishment, a horribly imbalanced approach at golf that screws him over the moment he doesn't hit the ball dead-on...
the ROCKET! at the end made me die XD
i used to have mario 1, 2, and 3 back in the day.. back when we had wood tv's and the internet didn't exist.. i'm 31 now
I have the All Stars port on the SNES
+Enclave Commander NO.3-117 I have all three NES games, and All-Stars for Super NES. (and 2 of the remakes.)
ur 36 now. jeeezzz
actually this is my favourite mario game. I grew up with the gameboy advance re-release and it was so cool, i discovered many secrets and had so much fun.
9:09
This part lives rent-free in my head.
@MalamiteLtd
I noticed I missed to mention the Clock power-up and the Super Jump during the middle of editing, but I was too far along to alter anything. This is what happens when I try to do so many things at once.
"HOLY SHIT,THESE ENEMIES ARE BORING"-Super mario bros 2 in a nutshell.
+nintendogamer2015 i disagree (maybe I'm just shit this game though)
+Theo Dias ahem you mean super Mario bros 2 USA in a nutshell
Theo Dias the game is far from boring, best mario game ever
windextor345
How would your skill at the game affect your opinion on the design of the enemies?
Theo Dias Mario 1 had boring enemies, Mario 2 was better in every way
I remember Mouser. He was in the animated show
I barely remember the super show. I haven't seen it since I was a kid
Your videos make slow days so much easier to go through.
1 of the best games, not just on the nes but in the history of gaming... without doubt my fav game of all time... as a kid it was just amazing and epic... brilliant memories
I used to dislike the game because it was different but now that I’m older and can put gaming prejudices aside I think it's really cool. It's a lot of fun and very addicting, with very creative level and enemy design.
2:15 GODI'MGONNABEDONE*BOOM*
Your reviews are always great, especially the Metroid ones.
Sonic Colors has made me love this game oh so much more thanks to your SMB 2 USA LP and the ending of this review ^_^
Johnny: There's Shy Guys, Pokeys, and (pulls Bob-omb out of ground) AAAUUUUUUUGGH! (explosion) ...Bob-ombs.
Me: LOL
I find this game to be under-appreciated. I remember having a lot of fun with it as a kid (I had the All-Stars version). It was certainly a crap-ton more fun than The Lost Levels, which was just brutal
I have found as I have grown older I have begun to love this game more and more. Its probably my second favorite Mario game behind Super Mario World.
I'm a long time fan of the somecallmejohnny. He's a great youtuber and also a great reviewer. I love how he goes through the perfect details in games and understand what is awesome about it or bad about it.
The main caracter sprites in supermariobros 2 are the best looking sprites of any mario game on the nes,even better then mario 3.
I agree. I never understood why marios overalls are black in that game. It should be dark blue like in this game.
The only mario game to feature plant terrorists.
I remember having a blast with peach playing this game on gba. And at 7:00, Peach can be used to hover over entire obstacles, but i think on the level with fry guy, you can use peach to skip 2/3 of the lvl. It was really fun to experiment with characters in this game
Oh nostalgia overload. I played the gba version when I was 4 and loved Luigi! Yay.
SUPER MARIO BROS 2 BABEEE
I find this game so underrated. Maybe it's the nostalgia factor since I played this game so much when it came on the GBA but it's got so much charm. Sure, it's got it's problems but it can be quite addicting.
Johnny, master of adding Awesome and HIlarity to his reviews.
i love these videos im going to watch every single one tonight keep makin this shit
I am the only one who favorite mario game is this?
Kei Nanjo nah dude! I love this game. I was born in 1983 and it’s what kept me entertained as a latch key kid in the 80’s and 90’s
0:15 My Reaction to Sonic 06
Many nostalgic memories of this game. Not this version, but as a launch game on the Game Boy Advance back in 2001. Man I loved that system and that game.
Man, I love that Jazz remix of the SMB2 theme near the end of the video.
The GameBoy version of this was my first Mario game.
Gameboy version of Mario 2?
Yeah, I was shocked when I played another Mario game because it wasn't like this one.
***** i think he means Super Mario Advance
esmooth919 Ah ok! :)
Really *****? Cool!
I remember Mouser
1 of the best games ever....super tight,classic gameplay
Now that Benny Hill bit REALLY cracked me up! Lol!
5:51 FUCKING BUBBLES!!!
Koji Kondo made more music for this version of the game too.
I always liked this game,it still felt like a Mario game despite being completely different,in fact I remember liking this game more than the first Mario for awhile because it was so vibrant and I liked being able to choose different characters.Also it made Mario 3s return to the original style much more appealing.
I love the little dance you did XD
I think I actually beat this game before. Wasn't this re-released on the Gameboy Advanced call Super Mario Advanced? I remember buying the guidebook to this game to find every nook and cranny.
Yeah. This game as well as SMB3, Super Mario World, and Yoshi's Island were all released as part of that line of GBA rereleases.
I have the gameboy advanced version
Love the big band theme at the end
I love this game, specially the Advance Version, and thanks to this game a bunch of characters made it onto the Mario Universe, besides the lovely overworld theme
I remember mowser from the Mario cartoon.
Didn't he have a Cajun accent too?
i think so
I don't. Haven't seen that show since the early 90s
That's one of the reasons playing this was so much fun after watching the cartoon.
true
I get it
What a classic game 🎮 ,🍺😎 great 👍review 🤘.
Your video are super funny as hella I, like,how you get very detail with it . For people who dont know alot about mario and learn alot
You're right Wort is stupid. That'd be like Majora giving Link the fierce deity mask befo-...oh wait a minute. Uh, never mind.
Adam Anouer Ganon's a classic Legend of Zelda villain. Plus Johnny's got a point. Most weapons generally have no effect on Ganon. The Master Sword is the most potent for dealing with him. Hence the comparison.
+Soren Daein To be fair Majora gave Link the Fierce Deity Mask and that didn't break the game in half...oh wait yes it did. Don't mind me ^_^
0:15 that is a south park reference Johnny?
haha that reference to Sonic Colours at the end was friggin hilarious! XD
Nice vids. Glad you dropped numerical ratings in your more recent reviews. The review should stand on its own.
Anyone remember this game was ported onto the GBA?
+Joniden Yea but, it's called Super Mario Advance for that version.
+Rebel HD Trust me, It's the best one of them all.
save by levels
infinite continues
Completion Bonus
and it's easier with again infinite continues and you get hearts by killing 2 enemies in a row. Not 8 (Yes, it's still hard as s**t)
There's also the Yoshi Challenge.
Joniden that's the 1st Mario game I've played tbh
My first Nintendo game, ever. I love it so much!
Why do you say ba-bomb? Isnt it bom-om?
In actuality, the correct name is Bob-Omb.
Brian Stell That's funny, because the enemy's name is Bob-Omb... idiot...
ActiveReplay AR Well, that's not very nice...
Actually liked this one a lot, probably more than 1 and 3. It's obviously a lot different than the other Mario games but the gameplay, art style, and music all made it great. The character sprites were all good and this was made still back in the earlier days of the NES. Also, this was apparently supposed to be the original SMB2 in Japan as well but they decided against it for whatever reason (too different?) and then it became Doki Doki Panic there. It's not really that it was an entirely different random game they swapped sprites on as many people think.
great mario game, great soundtrack, great sprites and the game that comes most close
to the animated series feat cpt lou albano
3:30 Fun fact: birdo is cannonicly trans
Ok, but what kind of creature is it?
Birdo. She's like Yoshi
Unpopular opinion: I think this is better than super maro 3
Matthew Clerkin Me too!
These videos are hilarious
I agree, I had this on the NES and loved it, but honestly SMB3 was my favorite and I played the hell out of it
7:00 feminists triggered
Nicely reviewed!
This is the game I have to most memories with. I've played this one the most out of the classic Mario series. But again I've never beat it but this is a big change in game game play style. (Sorta) but it's not a bad thing. It can keep you interested for a long time if you want to marathon it.
super mario 3d world is the spiritual successor to this game
No its not it has littel to do with this game the only reference is the charcters difrent abilitys and the slot machine
This game's remake on the GBA was fun. I love playing this game! It's my favorite Mario game
Said remake had the boss at World 3 changed from Mouser to something new. The second Mouser fight was moved to World 6 instead. Clawgrip is a warped variation of those crab enemies from the arcade Mario Bros game.
Thanks for the reference to the South Park movie at the start of this video, Johnny.
The enemies in this game are fun from a design perspective
Never seen that, and I agree you are certainly right about the X-series and depth.
Nice reference to Sonic Colors at the end, Johnny.
Surely I can't be the only one who cracked up at the Benny Hill bit?
Now this is the REAL super mario bros. 2 I played when I was a kid, and I really enjoyed it. But its true, the game does get boring very fast, but its still a enjoyable mario game. Great Review Johnny! Keep it up man! :)
9:17 - YES i love chiptune triangle bass too!
I bought this game on my WIIU and after playing the first level I never played it again.
After watching this video, I might go to play it on an emulator I have on my xbox.
I mainly remember Mouser because of the original Mario Bros cartoon, and that's because of how much music and stuff they used from Mario 2.
I was waiting for "F***ING BUBBLES!
...and I really enjoyed the Benny Hill part, lol.
I love the Sonic Colors joke in the end!
