To me this is the greatest of all the Mario games I've ever played. Forget that GBA [junk] and find Super Mario All-stars or this original one and pick it up. The only thing about SMAS is that it has enhanced graphics, but the GBA is too different.

This game was so fun and I never put it down (In fact if it weren't for this game my hand and eye cooridination would [stink] and I'm making a joke either) and while not too difficult for a five year old (that's how old I was then) this game would've been challeging.

For those who started playing with the NES remember this classic? The best Mario game ever made? Get this now and you won't be disappointed. Get it as the Super Mario All Stars and you won't regret it, get it on GBA and you'll cry at a classic that was ruined.

This particular run of the Super Mario series was probably the most hated because it went in a totally different way than all the others (and notice how after this was released, a year or so later, Super Mario 3 had gone back to that original gameplay and became the new platform for the Mario Series).

I admit I liked that this one was different, but I didn't like that it wasn't as interesting as it prequel or the continuing sequels after it. No hopping on enemy after enemy, no fireballs, now we throw things at everything. Getting Super Stars was pretty random. All in all, Mario was on a different tip with this one.

But we still love this game, why? Because it's MARIO and let's face it we've all been this loyal for how long?? Me personally, I was a teen when the Nintendo came out and I still play my original NES (Yes it's still in perfect condition somehow after 10+ years). Anyway, if you're looking for nostalgia, you might want to consider this one or Super Mario 3.

The best of the NES Super Mario Trilogy!

It is action-packed with hard to beat obstacles yet easy when you know the little secrets and tricks. The enviorment is a 2- dimensional platform adventure. There is not much to say beside the fact it is the greatest of the great!

my favorite Mario on the NES

While many consider this the black sheep of the Super Mario Bros series on the NES, this game is actually my favorite on the bunch. The world is nothing like the world of the other Mario games, and the enemies and bosses and goal is different. This is a quest to defeat Boss Wart (instead of Bowser) and you have the options of playing as one of four characters (with the ability to switch every level): Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad. Each of these characters have different play characteristics. Toad can pick up any object with no difficulty but is the worst jumper. Princess is the opposite (no strength, but can float). Luigi has the best jump (no float), but that becomes its own problem. Mario is perfectly average. These strengths and weaknesses come into play in choosing who to use for each level and some are clearly better than others on any given level. Even though I found this game to be the easiest of the bunch, for me it was also the most fun. This is still a side-scrolling game, but some levels scroll up and down on the screen (keeping the side-scrolling viewpoint, though) depending on if you are climbing or dropping down. There are shortcuts in many levels and different ways to warp, get extra lives (including an odd cheat for extra lives), or to shorten the game. In the end, there are a couple of difficult levels, but this may be the easiest of the three on the NES. Even so, this is my favorite of all of the Super Mario games on the NES.

Best Mario to be had on the NES

Super Mario Bros 2 has been ridiculed and criticized since its release for being so "different" and "un-Mario". I never understood that, is the game not fantastic? So what if it's different, when did different become bad?

The actual Super Mario Bros 2 that was released in Japan was a straight sequel to Super Mario Bros. Basically the same game but with different levels, Mario and Luigi having different traits, and it was much harder (in America this game is commonly known as the "lost levels" found on Super Mario All Stars on the SNES). Nintendo of America wisely decided this wouldn't fly in America, it was just too similiar to the original. So instead they took another Japanese game, Doki Doki Panic, threw Mario and the gang into it and called it Super Mario Bros 2.

Thank you Nintendo, because Doki Doki Panic/SMB2 is a great game! One of the best platformers ever. The game revolves entirely around the idea you can pick things up, either pulling vegetables out of the ground, enemies, or various other objects. This is all put to good use throughout the game providing interesting obstacles and tasks to complete. Things like having to throw the eggs back at the bird that just launched at you, having to lift creatures off their flying carpets so you can go for a ride, lift keys protected by magic masks, etc etc. Not to mention one of the best final boss encounters on the NES. It's all really cool.

So get over how "different" this game is and just play it! All pretty amazing considering this was all the work of Fuji TV (developer of DDP). Weird, eh?

people say bad things about this game but i loved it

Ok, the original version of SMB 2 was only released on the Famicon which really sucks. This version of the game was a remake of Doki Doki, that is why the story seems really strange for a Mario game.
I will reccommend Mario All Stars, if you want to play the original version of this game. At all costs don't get this Doki Doki crap.

AWESOME!
