    Super Mario 2 was actually the first game I got that was mine, not shared with my brother. The characters and bosses were so cartoon-like (vastly superior to 8 bouts with the Koopa King). Sub-con really shined, and the idea of an inverted world where items and warp zones were hidden was simply brilliant! Super Mario 2 is a wonderful game... I just wish they'd make a sequel Mario in this world! I'd love to read about your nostalgia and appreciation for the game or if you know any other bits that I missed? Thanks!

      Shoot that's a genius idea to make a second Doki Doki panic AKA super Mario 2 because I never even would have thought of them making a sequel to it. Because they didn't even means to make it super Mario 2 in the first place it was kind of like a fluke so like I think it was a miracle and and that consideration if the flu happened again it would be a miracle and a sequel to super Mario 2 would be good actually I would think it would be a masterpiece especially this day and age and for the graphics to get a major overhaul in 4k and the sound effects and the music would be surprisingly good

    7:25 A lot of Nintendo's early NES era decisions were responses to the Video Game Crash. The VCR-esque redesign of the Famicom, the pixel art boxes, the censorship, the draconian third party licensing program were them determined not to repeat Atari's mistakes.
    I wonder if the decision to not being Lost Levels over was at least another factor in that. A frustratingly hard sequel to Nintendo's flagship game might undone a lot of their hard work in bringing video games back from the brink. Similar to how Pac-Man and E.T were the 2600's undoing.

    As learned from another channel (Retro Game Mechanics), there's a cool trick they used for the characters' eyes. The white is actually a separate sprite. The character sprite was already four colors, which is the max, so they made the eye pixels blank/transparent and laid it over a white rectangle sprite to give them a fifth color for eye whites.

    I am really impressed at all the work that went into this. I know how much effort it takes to make a special graphic for a three-second throaway gag, and this video is full of em!
    One thing I think people often fail to appreciate about the "real" Super Mario 2 (Lost Levels) is just how strange it is. The conventional take is just that it's "hard," which it is, but it's also very puzzle-like in a way no other Mario game is. Like, the levels aren't just things you suffer through, they're very precise things you can only get through by "solving" - hit these blocks in a specific order, bounce off these koopas the second the wind changes direction, etc. Everything is so precise, and super-linear. I found it an annoying game, but it's interesting because it represents a path the series did not take.

    • @NESComplex
      @NESComplex  Před 2 lety +11

      Hey! Thanks J.J.! That’s a very good take and great way of explaining it. FDS Mario 2 has its place in the series for sure. I think by the time westerners got to play it in All Stars we were weren’t able to see beyond those initial frustrations and how dated it seemed, but it’s an interesting play if you know what you’re doing.
      Also, thank you for recognizing the editing details. It's one of my favorite parts of the process but it's lost on a lot of people who don't edit.

      20:14: czcams.com/video/k2xiS2w6wcE/video.html
      It's also possible that Doki Doki Panic was going to be a Mario game at first, as not only were there elements from SMB1 and Mario Bros. used in it (Coins, Starmen and Pow Blocks), but there is one enemy that was also in the Yume Kojo version that was not a Yume Kojo character to begin with: Spark from Donkey Kong Jr. There were two variants, red and blue. These Red Sparks would later be reintroduced in Super Mario World as Hotheads, with the small versions being called L'il Sparkies.
      In a related note to Sparks, there's another Mario connection in Zelda much like Wart in Link's Awakening: Sparks appeared in both Link to the Past and Link's Awakening.

    There was a neat glitch I stumbled upon as a kid when playing the NES version while facing the first Mouser. The glitch produced two Mousers at the same time; however, killing one would then kill the other (there is a delay in between the deaths). I was able to trigger it a few times and I am going to test it out on the Switch (there is a CZcams video showing the double Mousers from the Switch NES version, but the person didn't know how he got it to happen). I seem to recall hanging out on the left side where you have to destroy the wall to enter the Mouser battle area. Hang out in the area so you only can see a sliver of Mouser anytime he moved to the left of his platform. Waiting for a bit, I would either soon see an increase in bombs or the second Mouser. I remember trying to replicate this on the SNES version quite a few times, but was unable to get a second Mouser to appear. I liked this little glitch as Mouser was my favorite of the mini-bosses.

    Even though "Super Mario Bros. 3" is a fantastic sequel for the NES, "Super Mario Bros. 2" will always be my favorite Mario game because of how unique its gameplay is when compared to all the other games in the series, and it's also not as long to play on a single setting while also being the first game to feature Luigi in his re-designed look that makes him different and more distinguishable from Mario (though, ironically, he still ended up looking like a palette swap of Mario in "Super Mario Bros. 3" as well as "Super Mario World").

    One minor glitch you haven't mentioned - On World 1-2, you can - under certain conditions - spawn a weird collision detection bug ... and the key to unveiling it is ... well, the key. You pick it up, but keep holding down the B button. Then jump into the air to the left. If you throw the key at just the right time - and you maneuver correctly - the key should land on top of your head. And when it does, it reverts Mario into "ducking mode" until the key moves off of his head again. If the key is moving slowly enough, he'll wildly toggle between the Duck and Stand sprites for a few seconds. From what I can tell, the code temporarily transforms a falling object into a solid block, should it land on anything solid ... be it Mario or anything else. And with the key overlapping the top of Mario's head, he ducks automatically.

    Everything makes so much more sense now. It wasn't just a simple re-skin of a game. It added it's own flair to become the mutant fever dream of a game that it is. They made sure to acknowledge that with the end credits lol. Amazing video, my only complaint is prefacing everything with 'DIDJA KNOW THAT?!'

Would love a Startropics deep dive, although I get that there might not be enough meat on the bone for an entire episode.

    I just stumbled on to your channel a day ago and I've been binge watching all your stuff ever since haha. It's awesome man you do great work. It's honestly like I'm watching a documentary it's so well put together and through. I thought I knew basically all there was to know about most of the popular NES games but you have definitely taught me a ton of new stuff I can't believe I never knew.

  • @TheNuckinFoob

    I ferment when this game launched and picking it up at Toys R Us (getting a game from there was always a fun event, you'd get the tag, go pay and BEG your parents to go to the pickup window to get the game itself... It was seriously just an awesome, awesome thing).
    That being said Super Mario Bros 2 was incredibly weird for a Mario game but still a lot of fun being able to play as various characters. Loved it at the time.
    My son bought me an NES classic 5 or 6 years ago, whenever it came out, he actually waited in line for a few hours to get it because he's awesome and knew I'd lose my sh*t for it. Lose my sh*t, I did. To this day I still fire it up at least once a week to dive into childhood nostalgia.
    Great video! It's kind of insane how much went into games even back then.

And ways for presenting it that we’re a bit different. So thanks for writing that… it assures me that the video stood apart to some degree
