Super mario bros 2 play online4/10/2023 Feeling like more of an expansion pack than a true sequel, the Japan-only Super Mario Bros 2 (first released in the West on the SNES compilation Super Mario All-Stars as Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels) was a punishing exercise in unfair level design. The reason for this is that the actual sequel – which was released in Japan – was seen as too difficult for Western audiences. Starring a turban-wearing character with a passing resemblance to peripheral Mario character Toad (of ‘Sorry Mario, but our Princess is in another castle’ fame), the original game was exactly the same, minus the Mario characters. Unbeknownst to me at the time – at least for a few years after I first played it, anyway – Super Mario Bros 2 was originally a Japanese game called Doki Doki Panic. In a weird twist of fate, the very first Super Mario Bros game I ever played was series oddity Super Mario Bros 2.
