Super Mario Bros. 2




Super Mario Bros. 2



In 1985 Super Mario Bros. was release and jump started the Mario Series. Can this sequel repeat the same satisfaction as the classic Super Mario Bros.?



In this game you are able to choose through four characters with all different strengths and weaknesses. However, this can become frustrating when you realized you selected the wrong character for the level. The playable characters are Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Peach. The story is not mentioned in this game and the graphics are not much better than in Super Mario Bros. Also in this game the levels are designed differently from the original. The absence of idem blocks and classic enemies (Goombas, Koopas, Hammer Bros., etc) in the game makes it less enjoyable. The game also has a no power suits (Fire Flower) and a more confusing life gauge that confuses me. The game has good length though of these changes and the music still give the Mario Series charm to each level.This game also has new boss battles at the end of each level. However, this can become boring after playing for a while. I feel that the game, Super Mario Bros. 2, lacks the Mario feel but is still a great game to play.
